So nice I had to say it twice! :D\u00a0 Last night we finished off Dancing and I had a glass of wine with some dark chocolate.<\/p>\n

\"wine<\/p>\n

I sipped a red first but didn’t care for it.\u00a0 I think it needed more time to sit, breathe, and savasana a little bit longer.\u00a0 Instead I had a blend white with 82% chocolate, two of those squares, and it was delicious!\u00a0 I love how my dark chocolate love just keeps growing and growing.\u00a0 Some day I will have 90-99% and if what they say is to be believed, I will never go back.<\/p>\n

Slight mini TV rant, totally bummed out the swimmer chick on DWTS got kicked off!\u00a0 It totally should have been Melissa because let’s face it, while that girl’s smile might be able to jump, jive, and wail, her feet and bod cannot.\u00a0 She’s way too stiff and yet flailing out of control at the same time.\u00a0 At least swimmer chick had it going on and even the judges didn’t want her to get booted off.<\/p>\n

Also, as sweet as Michael Irving seems to be, dude needs to go.\u00a0 I cannot handle his facial emotions any more.\u00a0 That’s not appropriate for dancing, but more appropriate when making a deposit in the throne room.<\/p>\n

I kicked it in bed at 11:30.\u00a0 I had slight visions about running today but my legs were sore and exhausted after yesterday so I knew that was not going to happen.\u00a0 Instead I slept in till 8am and woke up to the sound of pouring rain.\u00a0 The wind would whisper and I’d think of you.\u00a0 And all the tears you cried, that called my name.\u00a0 And when you needed me I came through…<\/em><\/p>\n

Whoops!\u00a0 Sorry about that!\u00a0 Sometimes the 80s just springs up outta nowhere!<\/p>\n

Realizing that neither my legs nor Mo’ Nature wanted me to run this morning, I poured some coffee and headed into the office where I proceeded to lounge around and do naught all!\u00a0 Okay not true, I did some some email work and did read some of your blogs.\u00a0 I even got a chance to comment on some today, score!<\/p>\n

I woke up my hunns and made breakfast.\u00a0 There were fleeting thoughts of yogurt but I was super hungry and realized that what would mean the most to me at that very moment in time was oats (totally weird sentence structure, I’m aware. TY).<\/p>\n

\"Coffee<\/p>\n

Pumpkin oats!\u00a0 Here’s the deal with me and oats and oatbran.\u00a0 This is a recent development and it took me a while to realize but I’ve figured it out.<\/p>\n

In order for the oats or oatbran to be really satisfying I need it to be bulked up!\u00a0 Either with more fruit, such as peach\/nectarine oats, or with veggies such as pumpkin oats.\u00a0 I would much rather bulk up said oats with fruit or veggies as opposed to loading it down with toppings.\u00a0 Toppings are nice and fun, and in the beginning when I first started having oats, I was all over them.\u00a0 Now I just want the hot cereal!\u00a0 With a few friends thrown in to watch<\/span>, help out.\u00a0 I feel a lot better about the oats\/oatbran when I approach it this way.\u00a0 Since peaches and nectarines are no more, expect to see lots of pumpkin and apple up in herre!<\/p>\n

After breakfast I cleaned the house.\u00a0 It was scrub-the-shower-with-a-toothbrush day.<\/p>\n

I hate that day.<\/p>\n

Thank god it only shows its ugly mug around here every few months otherwise it would be getting the what what from me.\u00a0 Once the shower was brushed and flossed, I could move over to lunch.\u00a0 Cold rainy days call for soup.\u00a0 They also call for a blanket but I’m not handing that out because it never comes back dry.<\/p>\n

\"Salad<\/a><\/p>\n

Salad!<\/p>\n
