Ahh, since I drank my morning coffee I’m feeling a little bit better but I really wish that it wasn’t Monday and that I could be laying in bed all day instead of at work! Oh well, you do what ya gotta do, right? Plus, in 30 days (September 10th), my 2 week-long vacation (wedding + honeymoon) will start, so I just have to keep looking ahead to that!

I started off the morning with something unusual for me… milky oats… I usually never add milk to my oatmeal, but when I made my oats they were ultra-steamy and hot and it was the perfect thing to cool them down… I also topped them with a small handful of blueberries (trying to stretch out the remainder of the pint that is left) and mixed in some flax… All in all, a great way to start the Monday… even better if it was eaten in bed!

Mid-morning, although my breakfast held me over well, I really wanted something to warm me up and oatmeal is the perfect comfort food, especially the Quaker Lower Sugar Maple & Brown Sugar flavor… Over here, the temperature really got cool for this time of year, it’s apparently only going to hit 75 degrees, so this was a great choice for my snack & body temperature
