Doesn’t look like the Loveducks are scared of Gilbert –
As for me, I tip-toed through the yard, scanning every bush, and got in my car, slowly turned it on in case Gilbert was in the engine, and left for the gym at 7:30. I should have biked, as our front had just passed through, but the bike was in the GARAGE!!
I spent 26 minutes on the Stepmill, 20 on the elliptical, and my “i”m outta time” lifting routine: pull-ups, dips + jumping lunges. I hurried home to have a quick breakfast because I have to leave by 9:30 for a doctor’s appointment.
I picked something quick: cereal!
This about about 1.25 cups of this new Kamut Flakes cereal by US Mills –
Plus a sprinkle of Mix My Granola, blackberries, flax and milk. Oh, and a spoonful of Chocolate Vanilla Almond Butter!
I decided on some of my precious Kericho Estate Lipton today – I only have about 5 of these left to bring back memories!
Too bad I had to rush through this 🙁
Hopefully I’ll be brave enough to park in the garage when I get home!
Maybe….
Angie says
Kath- don’t feel too bad about avoiding the garage…I’ve been known to do the same for a SPIDER!
Breakfast looks yummy! Have a great day!
Moran (The Running Addict) says
HAHA you are so funny!!
I hope it will be okay by the time you are home!
brandi says
i hope the snake is gone!
Erica says
Snakes scare me too!!! I don’t blame you for parking outside 🙂 Love your bfast bow- so pretty! Where is it from?
K says
Oh goodness, I just caught up on last night’s post – a snake would have made me jump out of my skin! Hope the snake is gone!!
Courtney (The Hungry Yogini) says
Haha I would be doing the same thing =)
Last tea!? Perfect timing..I’m doing a Lipton Tea giveaway today!
Abby says
Just remember all that crap about them “being more afraid of you than you are of them.” Not sure if I buy it, but that’s what I’m told. As long as he isn’t hording your stash of free samples or slithering through a trail of almond butter, I would consider it fairly safe.
Good luck with that (advice from the girl who does not currently have a snake in her garage.)
Mara @ What's For Dinner? says
A snake is absolutely reasonable to be completely afraid of! I wouldn’t have gone in the garage either!
Lindsay says
I love how you name the animal you are scared of….especially such a cute name!
Weekly Bite says
i hate snakes!!! I would be terrified just like you
Lyn says
I can’t wait for fresh berries! Yummy!
Michelle Hisae says
Haha, the bike was sacraficed for a snake! Love it.
Danielle says
Ahh I’d have to move if there was a snake in my house! j/k.
Breakfast looks fabulous as always!
Shannon (The Daily Balance) says
you are too funny! snakes creep me out, too! I hate the way they move! they can creep up on you with their slithering ways and they are SO FAST! eeeek!
Good luck avoiding him later 😉
Ally says
I love snakes! Wish I was there to help.
Hope you have a great day!
Megan says
All this talk about snakes is making me think there are some in this room with me as we speak!! Yuck!
Beadie says
What do Kamut flakes taste like? I have never had kamut.
JENNA says
🙂 I hope you don’t have any run-ins! Especially if no ones home! scary!
Run Sarah says
I love your cute plate…hope the snake is gone for good!
Scoop says
I hope that snake moved out of the garage by now.
I’m sure you mentioned it in the past, but do you know whether the Kericho Estate tea is available n the stores now?
Meghan (Making Love In The Kitchen) says
My neihgbourhood gets overrun with Raccoons when the sun goes down. Not nearly as fun as ducks- though much preferred to snakes.
And you have the cutest dishes!
Missy Maintains says
So scary about the snake! I need one to get rid of my mice problem though 🙁 Delicious looking breakfast!
Jessica says
I don’t want to sound insensitive, but I think you have very little to worry about. I know snake phobias are pretty common but I’ve never understood why people have such irrational fear of some animals/critters more than others.
Personally I’m more likely to be afraid of a dog since I’ve actually been attacked by them more than once, but I digress. Try not to worry too much, I promise they’re not as bad as you think.
Of course, this comes from a former snake owner and lover of snakes/spiders/mice and all critters everyone else seems to hate. I just want them to be loved is all 🙂
life coach jen says
I hope Gilbert knows what’s best for him and heads on out to a place far, far away from your home!
Jenny says
Hi Kath!
I just got the same camera as you and am looking for a case. I was wondering if you could tell me what kind of case you have. Thanks! I hope you have a terrific day without any snakes!
Bec says
Your breaky looks fantastic!
Lydia says
Kath,
Do you like any other greek yogurts? i saw the Chobani and like it, but there seems to be a lot of sugar. I wrote to the company who said that the sugar is “all natural” from cow’s milk and the fruit. The ingredients list sugar first THEN the fruit. What are your thoughts on this? The only other yogurt I’ll eat is Stonyfield.
Krissie says
Hi! New reader here. Just wanted to say I L-O-V-E your dishes! Too cute. 😉
skinnyrunner says
love the cute bowl and hate the snake. id be having a freak out still today.
Kristan Anne says
I’m kind of a hot tea virgin, so don’t laugh, but why does your tea look creamy like that? Is it the tea variety, or do you mix something in it? I usually drink green teas, and I only add splenda to it.
I’m looking to change it up soon.
Thanks!
ps – your bowl is so pretty!
Runeatrepeat says
I would have totally freaked out if there was a snake in my garage! Aaah!
Lydia says
Here is their response on the Chobani.
Thanks, Kath.
Hi Lydia,
Thanks for your great question! We add no sugar to Chobani Greek yogurt. The 7g of sugar that’s listed on our nonfat plain label is from lactose, which is a naturally occurring sugar found in all milk products.
In our fruit-on the-bottom varieties, we use real fruit (which also contains natural sugar) and lightly sweeten it with evaporated cane juice so there is NO refined sugar in Chobani.
Hope this helps.
meg says
Hope all goes well at the doctor! I need to try those Kamut flakes!
Kara says
Eeew I had a dream the other night that I was being “chased: by snakes! And I didn’t even think I was scared of them! I was wrong…
erin says
I’m like you- despise onions, and especially snakes. I rather eat an onion than deal with a snake! *shudders* I wouldn’t be brave enough to step foot in the garage!
Jessica says
I am super freaked by snakes, even ones that have cute names!!!!
I just ordered some Mix My Granola for my Mom for Mother’s Day. I am excited to see how she likes it! It was sooo much fun to make, they have TONS of options!
Hallie says
Lovely breakfast! We’re restocking our whole kitchen after termite tenting (ugh…) so I was stuck with instant oatmeal for breakfast. Not the same, man…not the same.
I actually like snakes…just not unexpected ones! If they’re in a zoo or somone’s pet, that’s one thing. In a garage or a hiking trail…yikes! But snakes are a sign of a healthy and biodiverse habitat…so I guess that’s good news for your garden lol 🙂
Help Meghan Run says
Oh good luck with Gilbert. And is that chocolate vanilla almond butter as delicious as it sounds?

Jess says
I have to rush through my cereal breakfast almost every morning. It’s a bummer, but still delicious.
Liz says
Kath,
Did you realize that you have had several spelling mistakes since you say the snake?? You must be scared because you never have any. Don’t stress, it’s just a creature and I’m sure Matt will be able to drive him out. Maybe he will be the St. Patrick of your garage….
Kath says
Erica ,
Homegoods.
Beadie ,
Like a heartier, crunchier wheat flake??
Scoop ,
I don’t think it is 🙁 Most of the tea is blended with other plantations that is sold in stores.
Jessica ,
I am not afraid of snakes, spiders and the like outdoors – it’s when I am TRAPPED inside with them that they terrify me.
Jenny ,
Here’s the one I have. I think there might be one that’s better fitted for my camera, but this one is big enough to fit a cord too:

Thanks and welcome!
Kristan Anne ,
Milk!! I usually add a splash to my tea.
Lydia ,
That’s exactly what I would have said – glad you found out!
erin ,
Hahhahaha – I’d rather eat an onion too!
Help Meghan Run
OMG yes – it’s divine!!
Liz ,
Oops! I must be frazzled.

I don’t blame you about the scary garage! We once had a squirrel in our basement that got upstairs (trust me, that was a crazy experience), and I wouldn’t go in our basement for 5 YEARS! Yes, I was only 4 when it happened and I was tramatized, but stil… 😉
Kristan Anne says
Thanks darlin! I think I will try that. 🙂
