Boy am I a bum today!! I slept until 9:00. I’ve enjoyed sleeping in, but I really do better when I set an alarm!
I didn’t end up eating breakfast until almost 9:45 –
So you know that obscene song from SNL where Justin Timberlake sings about his present in a box? Well every time I think about "oats in a jar" I now sing it to that tune in my head!!! AHHH. Make it stop. [And I’m sorry if I have now corrupted your brains too]
- 1/4 cup 9-grain cereal, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tiny banana
- Lots of Maranatha AB (~2 tbsp left in the jar?)
- Mix My Granola on top
I haven’t had chandelier coffee in ages! The blur of my lens diluted it some, but the flava was still there 😉
I’m meeting Kate for spinning at 1:30 and then we’re going to drink green juice together!
Until then…
Madeline @ Greens and Jeans says
thank you Kath. thank you for ruining oats in a jar for me…. Or maybe you just made it better.
Danielle says
HAHAHA! I’m not the biggest fan of SNL but I LOVE that JT skit 🙂 LOVE it!
Danielle
Marisa (Trim The Fat) says
Oh no…thanks for the ear worm!
mmm…almond butter:) Have fun spinning!
Megan (The Runner's Kitchen) says
Spinning + green juice sounds amazing! I’m visiting my parents for the week and will be without a gym (and no access to Whole Foods/health foods!). I shall have to improvise 🙂
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
That’s one of my fav SNL skits!!
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
OMG, that song with oats in a jar…lol very un-appetizing.
Julie @ Peanut Butter Fingers says
hahahaha i love it. i saw so many people dress up like that with their “gifts” on halloween.
Casey says
It’s my **** in a box! 🙂
candice says
Yummy almond butter-filled oats 🙂 I’m just finishing that jar, too! Have fun spinning!
coco says
I like the two pots breakkie! 😀
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Haha…you know you’re a grown up when “sleeping in” is 9:00…is it sad that I can’t remember the last time I slept that late? OH well 😉
Stacey says
I’m being a bum too! I woke up at 10 and am still in my jammies 😀 Too bad my homework to-do list isn’t getting any shorter 🙁 Have fun at spinning!
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
I feel the same way about sleeping in. It kind of throws off my whole day.
It cracks me up to think of that song for oats in a jar. I am now corrupted.
Light Delight with TouTou says
meal in a jar is really popular now: -D
Tina says
Mmm I have a jar of Maranatha almond butter that’s getting low and I can’t wait to put it to good use 🙂
Thank you for helping me with the camera info a few weeks ago! It was my 18th birthday yesterday and I got it!! I cannot wait to experiment with my Canon.
Kristie Lynn says
That song has already polluted anything that comes in a box, might as well extend it to jars 😉
Kailey (SnackFace) says
Hahaha Kath, I am so glad you think that about oats in a jar. I think the same exact thing! Hilarious.
Kristie says
I’d say that’s brain corruption in a GOOD way… oats in a jar! Now it’s just THAT much more fun to think about hahah.
Speaking of setting alarms, I actually DID set mine today. Wanted to get right to productivity bright and early. Bright and early as in I got up at 9 too 🙂
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
It’s always nice to take a break and sleep in! You deserve it Kath! 🙂
sarah says
hahaha “it’ s my oats in a jar!” i am drinking tea and now singing “it’s my tea in a mug”
Jenn (www. j3nn.net ) says
I love MaraNatha almond butter. They make the best OIAJ!

Food Makes Fun Fuel says
Sunday is by far the best day to bum about
Kelly from Bridges and Bites says
Now every time I see oats in a jar. OMG. 🙂
MelissaNibbles says
I prefer the second tune, “Motherlovers.” Maybe we can be “Oatlovers?”
Janna says
Hahaha. Yep, now everytime I think of oats in a jar…. “It’s my Oats in Jar”.
Ha. much better than way.
Heidi says
Did you see the follow-up video to that SNL skit on youtube – called “My box in a box.” Classic!
I wouldn’t stress too much about waking up at 9am. Everyone deserves a sleep in day now and again.
Tomorrow will be my first attempt at Oats-N-A-Jar – I finished a jar of Better N’ Peanut Butter (pretty amazing stuff, if you haven’t tried it). I’m pretty stoked – all of your jar oat concoctions look yummy!
Kristin says
One time I had the song “Apple-Bottom Jeans” stuck in my head while cooking, and the next thing I knew, I was singing, “Copper-bottom pans…Pan with the copper on its bottom” hahahaha. I love those songs!
Jenna says
love oats in a jar especially yours! they are so creative 🙂
jenna
Alison says
I love how waking up at 9 am is sleeping in, Kath. That’s awesome, haha. I think college ruined by ability to wake up before 9. Have you always been an early riser or did it develop over time?
Lauren @ eater not a runner says
Oh no now I’m singing it! Your oats look awesome….wish I had more jars in the house 😀
Michele | aka Raw Juice Girl says
I LOVE green juice! And would you believe I’ve never had oats in a jar??!! I’ll have to do something about that soon! 😀
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Kath!
*smiles*
Michele
Susan says
Haha, I love that last picture of the spoon in the jar and coffee. It makes it look like you’re just having almond butter for breakfast 😉
Jessie says
I love that you use a big bowl of fruit as a centerpiece on your table. I do that too, usually with some local apples since i live in New York. The colors are so pretty and you can eat them– win win!
The Healthy Apple says
Um to green juice and oats…a perfect way to start of a Sunday morning…
Have a great day Kath!
Tania @ Moment Anew says
LOL, you think 9am is late??? OMG my husband is a BEAR in hibernation!! He woke up with me at 2:30 this afternoon. The only difference is that I went to sleep after my night shift at 8:30 this morning and he went to bed last night! LOLOL 🙂
Katie says
UM I stayed in PJS until 3 (showered put em back on) and read New Moon ALL morning. I am beyond a bum!
LMAO JT?! Love that song can’t deny one of my fave SNL skits ever and now it is totally in my head. Thanks! LOL
Chelsea (Chelsea's Chew and Run Fun) says
Ha, I haven’t watched SNL in years, but thanks to media hype I’m aware of that song. I like the “Oats in a Jar” remix much better!
Brie (The Fit Bride) says
I wish I liked oats so I could make oats in a jar. Maybe I’ll try cold Kashi in a jar? Hmm…
Wendy says
LOL at “oats in a jar” That was the best SNL skit ever!
It’s funny how relative “sleeping in” is! For me, in college, sleeping in was 11 or noon. Now, I am ecstatic if I get to sleep past 7! Friday night, I got to bed late (also relative, lol) at around midnight, and slept until 8:30 (thanks to my hubby for keeping the kids quiet!). It was heavenly!
AnnQ says
Mmmmmm….almond butter is super, SUPER yum! 🙂
Anne Marie@New Weigh of Life says
Best almond butter ever!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
you have corrupted my mind, kath!
Jac says
hilarious song.. and i never knew what was going on your mind!! Good laugh in the morning!
Jordan @ Salt Sweat Sugar says
Hahhaha, I love that song. There’s also a girls version called Box in a Box hahhahaha.
rhodeygirl says
Kath your photos are especially beautiful today! I want to jump in!
Kath says
Alison,
My first semester of college I didn’t have class until 11:30 and I would stay up until 2-3AM studying and playing and sleep until 10 everyday. That said, I’ve always been a morning person, so it’s easy for me to be an early riser. I hate sleeping away the day! (I also hate sleeping in general, but I do require 7-8 hours or I am a grouch.)
K
Megan says
I can’t believe you hate sleeping!!! I LOOOOVE it.
Also, i cracked up at the **** in a box/oats in a jar reference…hehehehe.
Kristen says
Penny seems like such an amazing dog. 🙂
Also, I like the new site design. I’m not sure when it changed – been on google reader too long.
Kristen says
oops, wrong post. I think i meant to post on an earlier one? sorry!
