Morning!
I found a warm haven to blog and drink coffee! Costeaux is the cutest little French bakery and coffee shop a couple of blocks away from my house and I feel right at home here. Free wireless internet, big wood tables, yummy coffee and fresh baked breads and pastries. Mmmmmm
I bundled up last night and slept like a rock for almost 10 hours. It was awesomeeeeeeee and very, very necessary. I feel so much better today!
Had some oats:
I used 1/2 cup oats with 1/2 cup soymilk, 1/2 cup water, 1 banana, 1 chopped honeycrisp apple, pumpkin butter, cinnamon, sea salt and almond butter.
Currently doing a million projects at once now that I finally have strong internet connection. I have to stop in to work for 2 hours later this morning then have some grocery shopping to do as well as a new apartment to go look at later…plus YOGA! I found a cute little studio within walking distance from my place and am going to a power yoga class this afternoon. Woot woot!
Have an awesome Monday!

October 12, 2009 at 9:17 amTerrific early AM view from your window with the trees…must be beautiful with stars at night. Sometime please say what kind of oats and how do you cook? Microwave? Thx.
This is great to bookmark and listen to when stressed–very soothing [I think anyway]:

October 12, 2009 at 9:33 amOats, nut butter, and pumpkin butter are the best! Have you tried cooking your apples with your oatmeal? I love doing that – reminds me of baked apple pie 🙂
Stay bundled up, it’s finally fall!

October 12, 2009 at 9:45 amSounds like an uber productive day. Good luck with the apartment hunt and enjoy yoga!

October 12, 2009 at 9:47 amGood luck apartment hunting. I was glad to read that you understood it was not meant to be… I look forward to reading the entry about your new place and how perfect it is and how grateful you are… because that’s where this is headed. Find the reason for you one-month stay at this place.. maybe it was to meet someone? to find the greatest yoga studio? There’s always a reason/bit of info/lesson to be learned. Then you move on, with your great attitude, and appreciate the next place you land. And cheers to great coffee!

October 12, 2009 at 11:09 amWool will become your friend. Make sure to get a wool sweater or two rather than just cotton. I learned that when I moved from TX to Chicago.

October 12, 2009 at 12:15 pmYay for yoga! I’m glad that you found a studio so close, and you are making lemonade out of a bad situation with your apartment! You are so calm, cool, and collected!
Vanessa @ Chic and Charming
October 12, 2009 at 12:34 pmOoh, I know what you mean. I got twelve hours of sleep last night. The repair was much beneficial and helpful, as I’ll be starting a new job (my dream one at a spa!) the next day.
Have a good week, Jenna!

October 12, 2009 at 12:34 pmGlad that your Monday is off to a better start. Yay for the yoga studio find! I wish I could find a cute little cafe near me to do some work…ahh I’m always conflicted in that I love bigger cities, but would love to be somewhere where things are more in walking distance and I don’t have to deal with traffic all the time 🙁 Maybe time for a change for me soon?

October 12, 2009 at 1:17 pmI love going to little cafes to do work, I can’t get anything done at home! 10 hours of sleep sounds very appealing right about now. Hope the studio works out!
