Morning!
The only issue with blogging so much is that sometimes I really just don’t know what to say. Like, I have nothing witty or interesting to share with you today. I’m sort of in that “post oatmeal and coffee daze” currently and trying to give myself a pep talk for spinning class in an hour.
Oh well.
Oatmeal!
1/2 cup oats, 1 cup water, 1 banana, 1/2 scoop protein, 2 tsp maca, almond butter and pumpkin butter. You guys know the drill!
After spinning, I’m heading into San Francisco to pick up Christie and Alissa from the airport and then we are spending the day causing raucous in the city…they’ve never been so I’m excited! I love watching people’s faces as they go over the Golden Gate Bridge for the first time. My first time was back in July and I know I totally freaked out (I still freak out, not going to lie).

December 3, 2009 at 7:55 amI know exactly what you mean about the writing – sometimes I feel like I am saying the same things every day (“and then I ate breakfast and then I ate lunch…”). But luckily yummy food photos often speak for themselves!
So jealous of your weekend in San Fran with the ladies – walk some hills and eat some chocolate for me 🙂

December 3, 2009 at 7:59 amI’m sure EVERY blogger has “writer’s block”. But, you’d be surprised at how the most mundane/ordinary things we do can somehow become funny. Take Seinfeld – a show about “nothing” was totally funny!

December 3, 2009 at 8:05 amHaving grown up in CA, I’ve passed the Golden Gate Bridge more times than I can possibly count. Each and every time, though, it’s awe-striking. I’m excited for you and your friends! Live it up in the city!
Yummy oatmeal requires no wit. Its hearty yumminess says a thousand words.
Also, the MacSpeech Dicate should be arriving next Wednesday, be on the look out for the UPS dude!

December 3, 2009 at 8:10 amI took my fiance to San Francisco for the first time last month- it is probably one of the most amazing cities to visit for the first time. There is just so much to see and do! Have fun with your girls – I’m sure it will be a blast!

December 3, 2009 at 8:11 amSome days, you just got nothin’ to say 🙂
Have fun with your girlfriends! I took my first ride over the GGB a few summers ago, and it was definitely an experience to remember!
Diana @ frontyardfoodie
December 3, 2009 at 8:13 amYour posts are always adorable. I think because you’re so positive that no matter what you write it just seems really awesome.
Everyone I introduce your blog to says they should be best friends with you and I can’t help but agree.

Jenna

December 3, 2009 at 10:54 amI can relate with the whole writing thing. I just started blogging and one of the concerns I had with starting a blog is that I don’t really have much to say since my life is a bit boring. So we’ll see how the blog goes haha.
Have fun with your friends! 🙂

December 3, 2009 at 11:02 amI think that you and everyone else in the blog world is in the “post oatmeal and coffee daze” because that is seriously all I have been seeing lately. hahaha!

December 3, 2009 at 11:20 amVery exciting to be picking up friends and having fun in SF! Can never run out of things to do and see in SF…if live there entire life.
I know what you mean about the Golden Gate Bridge. I first saw as a child, lived in the City for I nearly 20-years [once moving away and returning], have literally walked over the GGB 100s of times from The City to Sausalito then taking the Ferry back. Still is a thrill to see–even wrote a post about it on it’s Anniversary, which exits somewhere on my site. Once, flying into SFO at night our 727 was packed and forced into a circle pattern north of the Bay for 45 minutes. Clear night and spectacular view. A group in the back started singing ‘I Left My Heart in San Francisco’ and everyone on the plane chimed-in. Terrific time & memory!

December 3, 2009 at 1:19 pmSince you’re a reader, I thought you might like to know about the temporary closing of the Sonoma County libraries over the holidays: http://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/20091104/COMMUNITY/911049976.
I don’t know how much you utilize your local library, but this might hinder any use post-Christmas.
I hope this was helpful. Have a happy Thursday!

December 3, 2009 at 5:48 pmI LOVE LOVE LOVE those bowls. My sister has the same set and I always admire them. Did you get them at Starbucks too?
lisa
December 3, 2009 at 7:11 pmIs it just me, or do all bloggers on food/health issues eat oatmeal for breakfast! I used to have major issues with oatmeal, but then started eating it almost daily almost a year ago. Maybe, unknowingly, that was the first step I had to take before I could start my blog!
Have a great time with your friends!

Hillary @ Nutrition Nut on the Run
December 3, 2009 at 10:25 pmI totally know what ya mean about having few words in the morning when really all that has happened is stirring up a pot of oats. I love your charm and wit though!
