Fairy Dust

We got quite the dusting last night and woke up to the most beautiful snow day I have ever seen!!!!

The snow is like fairy dust –

IMG_5761 (640x427)

Poor little frog prince – he is so cold!

IMG_5764 (640x427)

I trekked out in my valentine’s PJs and boots!!!

IMG_5753 (640x427)

I woke up at 6 this morning (hooray for 8 hours on the nose!) and played on my phone in bed while the sun rose. It was fun to watch the snow get brighter and brighter!

I came down at 7 and did a little computer work and set out at 8 to make breakfast for us.

IMG_5726 (427x640)

I always want to do white + coconuty snow-themed oats when it’s white out 🙂

IMG_5723 (640x427)

This bowl was as heavenly as the snow!!

IMG_5720 (640x427)

The Mix:

  • 1/3 cup oats, milk, water, pinch salt
  • 1 medium banana
  • 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
  • Vanilla + cinnamon

Toppings:

  • Crunchy coconut granola
  • Butterscotch chips
  • Coconut
  • TJ’s PB

IMG_5718 (640x427)

IMG_5721 (640x427)

Opposites attract!

Check out me vs. Matt <3

IMG_5714 (640x427) IMG_5731 (640x427)

We plopped our breakfast down with…..

IMG_5732 (640x427)

Tina Fey!! 30 Rock and The Office were so great this week!!! Jenna is by far my favorite 30 Rock character. She always says the most hilarious things and is so naive. She’s a fantastic actress too! Dwight is by FAR the best character ever created. ‘Nuff said.

Who are your favorite characters!?

IMG_5734 (640x427)

Today’s Agenda:

  • Stage the whole house for sale
  • Dave Farmar
  • A walk in the snow!

    I’d much rather have that beautiful fairy dusting than the 4 feet we have here in Maryland! Ahh! Hope you enjoy your day and the pretty white stuff 🙂

    I need to start trying to add coconutty things into my meals – where do you suggest I start? Have a favorite coconut product? Thanks Kath 🙂

    Gorgeous pictures!!! Our snow is like that too… sooo fluffy. And with the sun shining on it.. it’s so beautiful. This is one of the rare times where we got snow but no sleet/freezing rain.

    Yummy oats, as usual. Tina is hilarious! My favorite actor is Mathew Mcconaughey. And not just because he’s incredibly hot… he’s a good actor. And Rachel McCadams.

    Good to see you guys got snow over on the west side of the state! I drove from Raleigh to Sanford last night for a 5K that was scheduled for this morning, so I wasn’t too happy to see all the white stuff start falling last night, but fortunately the race is just being delayed a few hours. I didn’t even think something like this would happen when I signed up…!

    Dwight is awesome. Have you ever seen the deleted scenes on the DVDs where Rainn Wilson is just talking in character? They’re hilarious! I’m partial to Kenneth on 30 Rock, and I have no idea why. 🙂

    Hey Kath! Love the snow! Can you believe that we got snow here in Charleston, SC? It is so awesome! They called for 2-4 inches and we definitely got it. It is so funny to watch southerners respond to snow. Our neighbors were even making a snowman! I’ll try to send you some pictures later.

    Your food service rotation for your internship didn’t look too bad. I bet you are ready for the next part! It is definitely flying by.

    The snow is gorgeous! I live in Athens, GA and that is about how it looks here! (Very rare for us)

    I have a question and wanted your thoughts. CBS morning show had a clip about Obesogens: pesticides that cause you to store fat (loosely defined). Have you heard of this and if so what do you think? The clip featured the auther of The New American Diet.
    Can’t wait to hear your response, and have a great day!

    Don’t you just love it when the snow outlines every branch? *sigh…*

    Dwight is fantastic, but Andy gets me every time. I still love that early episode where he’s playing the banjo and singing in that high-pitched voice to woo Pam’s heart.

    I was hiking in CO recently, and to my surprise a guy came running up the path with a “Schrute’s Beet Farm” shirt on. Gah, I want that shirt!

    Have you ever watched Parks and Rec? I didn’t think it was going to be funny, but now it is one of my favorites. You should check out an old episode on Hulu. This episode has a bit of a nutrition theme:

    I agree, this week’s 30 Rock/The Office were HILARIOUS!!

    He doesn’t get much air time, but when Creed has a cameo he always KILLS me and sometimes Kevin too… I always laugh when you specify that you’re saying “awesome” is in the Kevin voice.

    I love Kenneth. He is so ridiculous it’s priceless.
