(not featured in this photo: the biggest bowl of oatmeal you've ever seen)
Wondering: Is any self-respecting adult as excited for Despicable Me 2 as I am?
Making: endless amounts of oatmeal. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day (ask anyone, they'll tell you). And unlike most people I know who need at least an hour in the morning before they're ready for breakfast, I'm hungry the minute I wake up. I go through lots of breakfast phases. Sometimes it's cereal (this is my personal favorite). Sometimes it's yogurt (if you haven't tried this kind, you need to). My latest breakfast craze has been oatmeal. Every morning! Right now, I have two favorite concoctions: 1) oatmeal + bananas + peanut butter + cinnamon, and 2) oatmeal + walnuts + cranberries + blueberries. Really, you can't go wrong.
Listening: to Holley Maher. Her music is perfect for a lazy, whimsical kind of day (trust me). You can check out her blog here, and listen to my favorite of her songs, 'Hiding Place' right here.
Taking: my time. There is something so deliciously lazy about the summertime. Know what I mean? My responsibilities are the same as they were a week ago, but somehow everything just seems to slow down once June rolls around. I'm not rushing around or racing out the door or juggling eight million things at once (not yet, anyways!). Yesterday I had a few hours left before work and instead of trying to cram in a bunch of chores and errands before I left, I spent two glorious hours on the couch, watching Juno. I can't remember the last time I watched a movie in the middle of the afternoon, so it felt like a pretty big deal. Hehe.
I second your love of breakfast. I don't understand people who can't eat it - breakfast is my favourite meal of the day and probably the only thing that gets me out of bed! Oatmeal is my favourite too ( i get six month fixations on one type of breakfast and then switch it up). Right now my favourite combination is:
ReplyDelete1)raisins and cinnamon and banana
or
2) blueberry and raspberry
No need for sugar either, it's just so yummy on its own. Sometimes I even forgo the usual evening meal in lieu of oatmeal..I hope its not just me.

I understand the oatmeal craze. There are just so many possibilities! ;)
DeleteI'm with you on all of this. Beyond excited for Despicable Me 2, but even more so for Monsters Inc! :) And I could eat cereal for every meal, like it's a bad habit at this point.
ReplyDeleteMonsteres Inc. is also on my To-See list. Can't wait!
Deleteokay THANKS for sharing holley maher. because I'm listening now and I love love love it. perfect!
ReplyDeletealso I love these odds and ends.
Isn't she great? 'Hiding Place' has been on repeat today.
DeleteOh, I thought I was the only one desperate to see Despicable Me 2! I have no kids to take, but I'm going anyway. I'll be that creepy loner adult in the kids movie – I don't care! x
ReplyDeleteSame here! Maybe I'll try to sit near a family. Would that be less creepy or even creepier? Hmm.
