Olympics

Ever have one of those mornings where you have big plans to get up at 6am and hit the gym but when your alarm goes off your whole body and soul screams “HELL NO!”? I did today. I reset my alarm and passed out for another hour and a half. Damn did I need it. I Note to self: next time more relaxing vacation!

Since grocery day is coming, we have very few options in the fridge right now. Breakfast was a toasted English muffin with Dark Chocolate Dreams PB and raspberry jam and a hard boiled egg. Sadly, I didn’t have any milk to wash it down so it felt like half a meal.

The day started nice and early with us packing up the car and realizing we didn’t have everything we needed to take my bike on our new bike rack. >.< Stupid girl bikes with their curved bar. Deciding we’d get it when we come back in August, we hit up Paul’s Pancake Parlor for breakfast.

Surprise!

First off I’d like to say Happy Birthday, Mom! That’s right, it’s my mother’s birthday today and only the second time in my whole life I’ve been without her for it. I hope she had a great day enjoying the arts and, hopefully, good food too! I can’t wait to celebrate it with her later this week.

I woke up after a heavy sleep to make myself a hot hearty bowl of blueberry oats topped with Dark Chocolate PB, golden raisins, and walnuts. I don’t think I’ll ever get completely tired of oatmeal. It’s just too comforting.
