Hi guys!\u00a0 Last night after SF<\/abbr> class, I came home and made myself a wee snack.<\/p>\n

\"Seltzer

Seltzer kicking it in the back <\/p><\/div>\n

Frozen grapes and two small slices of sheep’s milk cheese.\u00a0 So tasty!\u00a0 Naturally I did not get to bed early because I wasn’t tired.\u00a0 Figures.\u00a0 It was after 11pm when I hit the hay because I was enjoying some snugs and King of the Hill and then Family Guy.\u00a0 Scott and I are a little disturbed by the fact that on King of the Hill, we understand Boomhauer a lot better now.\u00a0 Is this because of years of watching King of the Hill?\u00a0 I hope so because some of the other alternative answers aren’t as appealing.<\/p>\n

One of the KoH episodes that we watched last night, Peggy and Bobby were playing Don’t Spill the Beans!\u00a0 Holy crap guys, I totally had this game.\u00a0 I have never ever come across another person who has even heard of this game let alone played it.\u00a0 I was in heaven. :D\u00a0 This is the version I had as a kid,<\/a> not the new version with the weird cracked-out looking kettle type of thing.\u00a0 In my search for a Don’t Spill The Beans reference, I came across Don’t Break the Ice, which I also had and no one else did.\u00a0 I guess everyone else had games like Cooties<\/a>. While I was busy learning about about strategy, patience, and balance in life, everyone else was catching Cooties.\u00a0 That pretty much sums up my high school career as well now that I reflect on it.<\/p>\n

After my trip down memory lane, I went up to get some Zs.\u00a0 Since there is no running today, I got to sleep in a little.\u00a0 Rocky allowed me to sleep-in till after 8am.\u00a0 Thanks kid!\u00a0 Once he was taken care of, I headed into the office with my mug of dark love.<\/p>\n

\"'R!\"

'R!<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m talking about coffee, my other dark love was still in bed sleeping.\u00a0 The Interwebs called while I was sipping on the Joe.\u00a0 Then I was off to get Scotty up for the day.\u00a0 Finally it was time for breakfast where what I thought was a tragedy turned into bliss.<\/p>\n

\"Cold

Cold oats = awesome <\/p><\/div>\n

I attempted to make Gina’s<\/a> breakfast cookie.\u00a0 I prepped it last night but after the fact realized I had used too much soymilk.\u00a0 I actually had to drain some off. :o\u00a0 In my defense, I started off with a small amount but didn’t think it was enough to soften the oats so I added more.\u00a0 After I put it on the plate and already drained some of liquid, it still seemed too soft.\u00a0 I put it in the fridge and let it do its thing anyway.\u00a0 This morning it was still really soft and not cookie like at all.\u00a0 I almost had something else to eat but decided to give it a try.\u00a0 It was awesome!\u00a0 Never in a million years would I have thought that I would like cold oatmeal but this was fantastic.\u00a0 I ate it with a spoon and gobbled it up.\u00a0 It has some cranberries in it for texture and sweetness.\u00a0 Mmmm I actually think this might become a summer staple for me.\u00a0 It will allow me to still get oats in without the ickiness of the hot bowl.\u00a0 I had given half to Scott and he’s only lukewarm on this version.\u00a0 Fine with me, that means I get more! :p\u00a0 I’m going to prep another tonight for cold oats tomorrow after my run.\u00a0 Whee!<\/p>\n

Once breakfast and a little bit more coffee were consumed, I leashed up Rocks and we headed out for a monster walk.\u00a0 Probably 2.5 miles at least.\u00a0 It was cooler today and since I didn’t run, I could go farther.\u00a0 Truthfully he should be getting this amount daily so I’m going to strive to do that this summer.\u00a0 Back home and back in my jammies because I would be cleaning later.<\/p>\n

I sat down for about 20 minutes and got up to make lunch. I was starving! Half a plate of cold oats didn’t last me long at all.\u00a0 Lunch was leftovers.<\/p>\n

\"Soupy

Soupy delight <\/p><\/div>\n

Leftover tomato soup.<\/p>\n

\"Tuna

Tuna in a pit <\/p><\/div>\n

Leftover tuna salad in a WW<\/abbr> pita.<\/p>\n

\"Lackluster

Lackluster lunch <\/p><\/div>\n

And half a green apple.\u00a0 I ate everything and while all of it was delicious it was not satisfying.\u00a0 I was trying to be quick and keep dishes I would have to wash to a minimum.\u00a0 This lunch left me lacking.\u00a0 I need more fruit and veggies.\u00a0 And I need those veggies to be raw.\u00a0 Just some shredded carrot wasn’t cutting it.\u00a0 I’ll probably make a smoothie in a bit to help fill the gap.<\/p>\n

Now I must finish cleaning this house! Later gators!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
