Shhhh…You’ll Wake Gilbert

Doesn’t look like the Loveducks are scared of Gilbert –

IMG_5766 (1024x768)

As for me, I tip-toed through the yard, scanning every bush, and got in my car, slowly turned it on in case Gilbert was in the engine, and left for the gym at 7:30. I should have biked, as our front had just passed through, but the bike was in the GARAGE!!

I spent 26 minutes on the Stepmill, 20 on the elliptical, and my “i”m outta time” lifting routine: pull-ups, dips + jumping lunges. I hurried home to have a quick breakfast because I have to leave by 9:30 for a doctor’s appointment.

I picked something quick: cereal!

IMG_5774 (1024x768)

This about about 1.25 cups of this new Kamut Flakes cereal by US Mills –

IMG_5767 (1024x768)

Plus a sprinkle of Mix My Granola, blackberries, flax and milk. Oh, and a spoonful of Chocolate Vanilla Almond Butter!

IMG_5773 (1024x768)

I decided on some of my precious Kericho Estate Lipton today – I only have about 5 of these left to bring back memories!

IMG_5769 (1024x768)

IMG_5771 (1024x768)

Too bad I had to rush through this 🙁

IMG_5770 (1024x768)

Hopefully I’ll be brave enough to park in the garage when I get home!

Maybe….

    Just remember all that crap about them “being more afraid of you than you are of them.” Not sure if I buy it, but that’s what I’m told. As long as he isn’t hording your stash of free samples or slithering through a trail of almond butter, I would consider it fairly safe.
    Good luck with that (advice from the girl who does not currently have a snake in her garage.)

    I don’t want to sound insensitive, but I think you have very little to worry about. I know snake phobias are pretty common but I’ve never understood why people have such irrational fear of some animals/critters more than others.

    Personally I’m more likely to be afraid of a dog since I’ve actually been attacked by them more than once, but I digress. Try not to worry too much, I promise they’re not as bad as you think.

    Of course, this comes from a former snake owner and lover of snakes/spiders/mice and all critters everyone else seems to hate. I just want them to be loved is all 🙂

    Kath,
    Do you like any other greek yogurts? i saw the Chobani and like it, but there seems to be a lot of sugar. I wrote to the company who said that the sugar is “all natural” from cow’s milk and the fruit. The ingredients list sugar first THEN the fruit. What are your thoughts on this? The only other yogurt I’ll eat is Stonyfield.

    I’m kind of a hot tea virgin, so don’t laugh, but why does your tea look creamy like that? Is it the tea variety, or do you mix something in it? I usually drink green teas, and I only add splenda to it.

    I’m looking to change it up soon.

    Thanks!

    ps – your bowl is so pretty!

    Here is their response on the Chobani.
    Thanks, Kath.

    Hi Lydia,

    Thanks for your great question! We add no sugar to Chobani Greek yogurt. The 7g of sugar that’s listed on our nonfat plain label is from lactose, which is a naturally occurring sugar found in all milk products.

    In our fruit-on the-bottom varieties, we use real fruit (which also contains natural sugar) and lightly sweeten it with evaporated cane juice so there is NO refined sugar in Chobani.

    Hope this helps.

    Lovely breakfast! We’re restocking our whole kitchen after termite tenting (ugh…) so I was stuck with instant oatmeal for breakfast. Not the same, man…not the same.

    I actually like snakes…just not unexpected ones! If they’re in a zoo or somone’s pet, that’s one thing. In a garage or a hiking trail…yikes! But snakes are a sign of a healthy and biodiverse habitat…so I guess that’s good news for your garden lol 🙂

    Kath,

    Did you realize that you have had several spelling mistakes since you say the snake?? You must be scared because you never have any. Don’t stress, it’s just a creature and I’m sure Matt will be able to drive him out. Maybe he will be the St. Patrick of your garage….

    Like a heartier, crunchier wheat flake??

    Scoop ,
    I don’t think it is 🙁 Most of the tea is blended with other plantations that is sold in stores.

    Jessica ,
    I am not afraid of snakes, spiders and the like outdoors – it’s when I am TRAPPED inside with them that they terrify me.

    Jenny ,
    Here’s the one I have. I think there might be one that’s better fitted for my camera, but this one is big enough to fit a cord too:
