Breakfast

Remember When

Morning!

So, yes, I apologize about whatever technical difficulties y’all have been having when ordering wine. I was told that all the kinks were worked out but, obviously, they are not…shipping is supposed to be free so when I go to work today I’ll take action on fixing that!

This morning I had some coffee while I wrote for a little while, early, and then made a big bowl of oats a little later.

1/2 cup oats, 1 cup water, 1/2 scoop protein, 2 tsp maca, 1 banana, pumpkin butter, almond butter!

I’m off to write a little more and then head to the gym before work. I leave you with this “candid” photo of Christie and I, a year ago, trimming the tree. I’ll never forget that night a year ago because that was the night of my company christmas party and I got soooooooooooo sick. We were laughing the other day that a year ago I lived in her house with her parents…and she lived in New Orleans.

    I love decorating Christmas trees. It’s just the best and will never, ever get old. Couple the tree decorating with the smell of baked goods in the oven, some sort of cheesy Christmas music, egg nog, and I’m a happy camper.

    I also love almond butter in oats, but that’s been established. Hope you have a wonderful visit with your friends!

    Eat for pleasure!
    get involved with a Church in Tampa and volunteer with youth group
    start and stick to a savings account

    finish first draft of my book
    check out more books at the library
    get involved with Junior League in Tampa

    Hey Jenna! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my MacBook Pro. Totally worth the money. I had the MacBook and the white got so dirty and cracked and was not enough memory. My husband bought me my new Pro about two months ago and it is FANTASTIC. Worth the money. And ask about discounts — Mac gives discounts for everything. Good luck! Katie
