I slept solid last night, with the exception of waking up at 4:30 FREEZING! We took off our down comforter, and I had to hunt it down, but only after 15 shivering minutes of not wanting to get out of bed and trying to just go back to sleep. It was so wonderfully warm for that last hour!
I also got down with oats this AM:
Ramen Bowl (coming soon!) sportin’
- 1/3 cup oats
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/2 frozen banana (we were out of fresh and frozen chunks work just as well)
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/3 cup cottage cheese, stirred in at end
- Vanilla
- Cinnamon
- Pinch salt
- Sarah’s Nutty Butter blob – so hazelnutty!!!!!!!!
- Chai granola
Sarah really knows how to invent!! <3 her blog.
Utilizing the spoon rest!
Spring Blend. 100% caf. Hope I don’t regret this…
Ying yang.

A friend’s great-aunt turned 100 when I was in London a couple of years ago and I went to the HUGE party–all these pensioners who were so jealous of the Queen card. 😉

I hate when I lie in bed debating, but somehow in the middle of the night getting up to get another blanket,a glass of water, or to pee seems like an enormous project…

I’ve been seeing your coffee press for AGES and have finally decided that I’ll be stopping by at Starbucks to pick one up before our camping trip week after next. VERY excited about having REAL coffee this time out. The camp perculator just didn’t cut it… tasted like water to us.
Do you let your grinds steep for 4 min ?
Kath says
Yep!
Daniel says
Holy wow, Happy 100th!
And last night was just the opposite here, it was sooo warm I almost wanted to take my down comforter off! I do admit though that down comforters are soooo nice! 🙂
I hope your day goes well and the caffeine doesn’t mess it up. ^_^

I’m house-sitting for a really old place with no adequate heating and I don’t like to leave the one tiny heater on overnight in case it burns down my room, so I’ve been waking up freezing every morning. Ugh. So sympathies!
