According to new time I slept late.
According to old time I was up at 7!
Still got a good night’s rest and am hyped for my big run today. And nervous – not about the mileage, but about all the factors that could prevent me from finishing! Foot, blister, who knows what!
Matt and I made a spectacular breakfast and then cleaned and polished the whole house in preparation for our showing today at 1PM. Love that I now have a good reason to make him help me clean 🙂 When the two of us do it together it only takes about 30 minutes top to bottom. Love how fresh it smells too! The Method Almond Wood Floor cleaner is super expensive, but it does make my floors shine and smells great.
MY OTHER RECIPES
Today was one of those days where I woke up and realized I had the whole morning to enjoy a huge bowl of oatmeal and practically bounded out of bed!
It was an extra delicious mix indeed
The Mix
- 1/4 cup oats
- 2 tbsp Bob’s Red Mill Apple Cinnamon Hot Cereal (I just love the texture of oats and hot cereals combined)
- Lots of water
- 1/2 cup organic 2% milk (I’ve switched back from 2% to skim milk after realizing that I like skim in my coffee just as much, but Matt got 2% yesterday by accident!)
- 1/2 ripe banana
- 1/2 tbsp chia seeds
- Pinch salt
- Splash vanilla
- Toppings: Galaxy Granola, Crofter’s North America and an extra large spoonful of Naturally Nutty Vanilla Peanut Butter!
EarthFare coffee (2/3) + Christmas Blend decaf (1/3)
A sandy beach seashore with a big rock in the crashing waves…
I’ve got 1.5 hours till I’m meeting Emily. Just enough time to get a bit more computer work done and then enjoy the whole day!
[PS. I’m going to be updating WordPress so if anything weird happens, you know why]
yum photos look so amazing, so do your oats 🙂
Good luck with your WordPress update and your house showing! Nothing like a wide-open Sunday morning to get me in a good mood too. 🙂
That’s exactly what I tweeted this morning—I got up early but it was actually late!! Boo. I like when DST ends in Oct 🙂 Have a great run and cheer on the blue devils today!
I want to try Galaxy Granola so badly! Your beautiful pictures always make me want some:)
wow, you can clean and polish your house in 30 minutes? impressive! good luck on your run and i hope your feet hold up with no new blisters!
Good luck with the run!
I made my coffee in a french press today and was waiting for the “bloom shape”…and it never came lol.
If the day job doesn’t work out, sounds like you’ve got a handle on cleaning!
Good luck with the run!
Have a great run!! Enjoy your relaxing day!
There’s nothing like hot oatsies on a Sunday morning. Good luck on your run!
I woke up late when considering the new time change as well!
I love your oatmeal bowl – where’s it from??
Hand made by my neighbor from home!
Wow- that’s awesome!
Enjoy the day 🙂 Sounds like a great breakfast!
Have a great run and enjoy the rest of the day!! Hope it’s sun shiney on your run!! It makes all the difference sometimes!
OOooh good luck on your epic run! I hope you kick some butt 🙂
I always get out of bed that bit quicker knowing I have a good breakfast coming up…there’s nothing better than a bowl of oats enjoyed nice and leisurly 😀
I forgot about the time change! I was reminded last night and I don’t think I like “losing” an hour! Mmmmm vanilla peanut butter!
Waking up after 6 hours of sleep was not how I like my Sundays! Still, good to get it overwith 🙂
What a very springy looking breakfast 🙂
I hate DST! I thought I woke up late this morning but was tricked as well!
I ahve to say, you lost me on the coffee foam image, but I still love the look of the oatmeal! As a non-American though, I’m wondering – is the 2% higher or lower in fat than skim?
Enjoy your long run! I’m doing my longest today too.
Those oats look so creamy. Yum.
Great bowl of oats!!
Everytime I see a picture of your oats with Crofter’s in it I’m more and more tempted to get some!
Though I’m not one for added sugars, I’m sure there aren’t too many in it from what I’ve seen.
Also, good luck on your run, I hope nothing bad happens to your feet!
Happy Pi day. ^_^
Hi…this video is a month old, but I thought I send you the link anyways. I thought it was interesting. If you’ve seen it, just ignore me!!

Ha, i was excited to see I made it until “7am” since my body just doesn’t know how to sleep in 🙂
Good luck with the house showing! I am having a similar morning – just ate oats/drank coffee and waiting to digest before my run.
Your coffee makes me want to be at the beach. 🙂
I was up at 6:30 and I dragged myself out because I knew that I wouldn’t get enough sleep tonight if I didn’t. I do love daylights savings time, though. I love the extra light in the evenings.
Given a little controversy that popped up on your blog (two years ago??) about a comment you made, I thought you might find this article interesting.

Interesting..
Good luck on your run! Hope that blister doesn’t start acting up 😀
Oh, I meant to tell you that on Thurs, you left the CDA meeting too early! They still had a raffle for the fruit basket and YOUR name was called for that too!!! They waited like 5 minutes before going to the second person 🙁 At least you still got a gift card to Borders! 😉
NO WAYYYY!!!! I almost stayed but then I thought if I won I would forfeit it because I already won something. So funny.
I love your oats, everyday and especially today, yum!!!!
I got up at 6am and it was still pitch dark. Yuck. At least it will be lighter when I go home tonight.
