Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
When I woke up my house was a lovely 63 degrees so I’m currently hunched over my laptop wearing a green hooded sweatshirt and eating my oats out of my favorite green bowl. That counts, right?
If there was ever a day for a massive green monster it would have been today, and I thought about that but……..I’m going to attempt a 25-30 mile bike ride in about an hour and needed all the carbs I could get. 😉 This bowl contained the usual 1/2 cup oats, half cup milk, half cup water, banana, peanut butter and some bonne maman.
This is totally off subject but I’m writing it so I will actually do it. I NEED TO CLEAN MY HOUSE! It looks like a mad writer/cartographer was on the loose (okay, maybe I just wanted to use the word “cartographer”). I have papers spread out all over the place and maps all over the floor. I can’t believe I’ll be in Paris in three months!
Time to go clean. Click here to check out a video of the ridiculousness of the winery I work at. I think I was too busy inside dancing to michael jackson to be a part of it, sadly. However, my boss just informed me they are in the process of also making a dance party video that I am a part of. I’m scared.

March 17, 2010 at 8:07 amDon’t you just love those Anthropologie bowls?? We got a set of orange ones as a housewarming gift. I’d buy more, but we don’t have any room to put them! They’re the perfect size for a cereal snack (as opposed to the bigger ones we have).
I must email you about this restaurant we stumbled upon last time we were in Paris. Run by a British chick with a perfect French accent and so cute!
Good luck with the bike ride!!

March 17, 2010 at 8:08 amhaha I was trying to figure out what I could make tonight that was green and a green monster didn’t even occur to me… duh!

March 17, 2010 at 8:13 amEeek, good luck on the 30mile bikeride! That’s pretty darn epic, no wonder you wanted oatmeal!

March 17, 2010 at 8:35 amI’m super excited to read all about your upcoming Paris adventure. Man, I can already envision the incredible food photos that are to come.
I contemplated a green monster in the spirit of the holiday today too, but my gut said, “Screw it, I want almond butter stuffed french toast.” They say to go with your gut, so I did!
Have a great ride!

March 17, 2010 at 9:21 amHave fun on your ride – 30 miles will be over before you know it! I know you’re looking forward to Paris – but I’m looking forward to you going to Paris too! I want to live vicariously and see and eat all that Paris has to offer 😉

March 17, 2010 at 9:22 amI feel like this about my house all the time. I go in cleaning spurts and scrub from top to bottom. It’s never really dirty just disorganized.

March 17, 2010 at 9:25 amNo green bowl for me, but I did have Irish Steel Cut Oats for breakfast. Enjoy the bike ride. My hubby is itching to get me a bike so I can ride with him.

March 17, 2010 at 9:36 amI considered a green mosnter for breakfast but was just too cold to do it! Have an awesome ride!

March 17, 2010 at 9:40 amThe Irish do indeed eat oats! One of the best (and probably most decadent) bowls of oatmeal I’ve eaten was at Bewley’s on Grafton Street in Dublin, with loads of brown sugar, sultanas and I’m sure some kind of delicious cream. Happy riding/writing and Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Nora@LiveLifeEatRight
March 17, 2010 at 9:58 amI hardly ever have green monsters for breakfast (the blender would wake up my roomie haha) but today that is ALL that was on my mind. I actually served it in my favorite green bowl too 🙂 foodies think a like.

March 17, 2010 at 10:12 amHaha funny video!! Methinks some of those people were slightly intoxicated with wine at the time 😉
Tracey @ I'm Not Superhuman
March 17, 2010 at 10:18 amA green bowl definitely counts. It’s better than I did today. And just think: A messy house means you’ve been productive (and lead a pretty exciting life)!

March 17, 2010 at 11:05 amHave fun on your ride! Sunday, I did a local ride that has been intimidating to me for a long time. It was 32 miles total with an elevation gain of 1385 ft. It was a blast!
Keep pedaling!

March 17, 2010 at 11:48 amI need to clean my house too…taking trips is fun, but it sure does make for a messy house when you’re gone all the time!
Enjoy your ride!
