Hi my pretties!\u00a0 I was so busy yesterday that I did not have a chance to play catch up and post.\u00a0 So now you’ll get twice the OHC today.\u00a0 I know how excited you are about this. ;)<\/p>\n

First up, I did actually have something to eat Wednesday evening after SF<\/abbr> class.<\/p>\n

\"Tea,<\/p>\n

I made tea and had a Kashi waffle with chocolate PB<\/abbr> (HOLLA) and some frozen grapes.\u00a0 Yes I remembered I still had a stash in the freezer.\u00a0 Score!\u00a0 I chomped down on that and didn’t quite finish the waffle, I passed that on to my leftover machine.\u00a0 That would be Scott; Rock of Love cannot have chocolate (and your doggies can’t either!).<\/p>\n

Then I headed up to bed with the intention of reading for a bit but crashed it instead.<\/p>\n

\"chocolate<\/p>\n

I woke up at 7am (hello day off!) and by 7:30 was out the door for my run.\u00a0 Five miles in the bag and it was awesome.\u00a0 I wanted to kick out six but just did not have the time because I had to get home and get stuff done, yo’.\u00a0 I had a date with my most fave LG<\/a> latah and I needed to be ready for it.\u00a0 One glass of CS<\/abbr> later and this sister was stretched, showered, and having a fight with herself in the kitchen.\u00a0 Had I been wearing my robe, then I probably would have looked like perhaps I needed to be escorted back to sanity.<\/p>\n

I was having a mini sort of freak out because the HQ is in shambles.\u00a0 Shambles people!\u00a0 We are out of oats, out of oatbran, and the soymilk and organic milk supply is in the red zone.\u00a0 What we do have plenty of is pumpkin and as much as I would love to sit down and nom on pumpkin right outta the can, I do not think this would make a very good breakfast.\u00a0 Maybe?\u00a0 I dunno, perhaps an experiment is in order.<\/p>\n

During my mini freakout, I was rummaging around the cabinets and stumbled on some steel cut oats.<\/p>\n

“What the hell, sure they might take a little longer but oats are oats.”<\/p>\n

I’ll wait until you’re done laughing hysterically before I move on.<\/p>\n

Maybe if I had soaked them overnight that would have helped but regardless steel cut oats and I are not on speaking terms at this point in time.\u00a0 He is too needy and I just can’t give that kind of support.\u00a0 Especially not after running five miles because what I want to do at that point is EAT.\u00a0 What I do not want to do is talk about feelings and tell Steel Cut over there it’s going to be all okay and coax it along with more soymilk.<\/p>\n

Steel Cut is way too 16 year old emo for me.\u00a0 He kept saying, “You can’t rush this. You don’t understand me.”\u00a0 And I kept saying, “Honey, if you do not want me to hurt you, you will be ready to jump in my bellah right now.”\u00a0 I also provided my best, “I will mess you up” look to go with that statement.<\/p>\n

Ugh.\u00a0 Steel Cut took about half an hour and way too much extra liquid to cook.<\/p>\n

\"coffee<\/p>\n

And what I ended up with was a bowl of chewy cement. Crikey!<\/p>\n

Scott liked it and well that’s just fine because when I’m gone on my trip for a week, Scott is more than welcome to handle Emo Steel Cut, coax him along, and assure him that, yes, as a matter of fact all those safety pins on his jeans do<\/em> make a statement about the oppression of diversity.<\/p>\n

Damn the man.<\/p>\n

I also did not have time for a second cup of coffee yesterday morning.\u00a0 I’m not going to point fingers but I will say the reason has to do with “cement” and let you figure it out for yourself.<\/p>\n

\"apple\"I’m sure you’ll be surprised to hear that I did not finish that bowl of cement.\u00a0 Close though.\u00a0 I added an apple to my breakfast because I was still hungry and because cement did not contain any fruit.\u00a0 Need fruit for breakfast!<\/p>\n

I got myself purty and headed over to Sugar Inc.<\/a> (what up Ava love!) to meet with LG<\/a>.\u00a0 As I was walking down the street, I noticed a sign outside Ava’s shop advertising that she also sells Kona Coffee.<\/p>\n

Ava is now my best friend.<\/p>\n

I ordered a mug of coffee, with cream and sugar because days off and good friends deserve special things.<\/p>\n

\"Sugar<\/p>\n

Do we not just love the cute little set up?\u00a0 And bringing me an entire thermos of coffee is basically awesome sauce.<\/p>\n

\"Pumpkin<\/p>\n

LG got a cupcake, pumpkin.\u00a0 Wooo!\u00a0 It’s fall and pumpkin makes the world go ’round.\u00a0 We chatted for a good bit and chatted some with Ava in between fondant sessions.\u00a0 Listen folks, I totally plan on doing a full Sugar write up, but if you are in the need for some good cupcakes and cakes check out Sugar Inc. I beg you.\u00a0 Everything is organic and everything is made from scratch, including the fondant.\u00a0 Hells yes.\u00a0 So stop in and chat with Ava and try some goods!<\/p>\n

After LG up and left me ;), I too said my goodbyes and then made a quick stop over at TehKu<\/a>.\u00a0 Since I was in town (Dublin I love thee!), I might as well run over and see Inggrie!\u00a0 Sadly she was not in so I missed her but I did pick up some of my new favorite tea and some pumpkin scones.\u00a0 I messed around with my phone while waiting on Lovah to come and pick me up.<\/p>\n

When I got back home I was busting butt like a mad woman getting everything done I needed to before heading out to MT<\/abbr> conditioning class.\u00a0 I walked Rockmeister and then came home and made a speedy lunch.\u00a0 I was a starving woman!<\/p>\n
