Rainy Morning, Mushy Bananas

Woke up this morning at 8:30, so I could hobble downstairs and sign into work by 9am, and I almost convinced my half-asleep self that it HAD to be earlier than 8 because it was so dark outside.  When I finally opened my eyes the rest of the way, I realized it was actually just raining.  BOO.  I guess it’s not that big a deal, since I of course will be sitting on the couch all day working on the laptop and watching daytime TV, but still.  I thought we had enough rain already this year!

Anywho, I got downstairs and had a tasty bowl of oats!  I usually heat up my oatmeal and then add chopped banana and some kind of sweetener (honey, maple syrup, brown sugar, etc.).  Today, I decided to try heating the banana with the oatmeal in the microwave to see if the banana would sweeten the bowl that way. And it did!  I also sprinkled the bowl with cinnamon before it went in. Mmmmmmm gooey!

In that mushy bowl was:
-1/4 c. dry (cooked) Irish oats (75)
-Medium banana, sliced (100)
-cinnamon
-1/2 c. Kashi Go Lean Crunch Honey Almond Crunch (for crunch! duh..) (100)

Plus coffee with 1/4 c. 1% (28)

So on a completely different note, every day, twice a day, the blazing hot sunshine through the skylights on our living room ceiling crosses DIRECTLY over the couch I’m sitting on.  Between that and the heat of the laptop on my lap (hah), it’s unbearable.  So with all the clouds and rain today, NO SKYLIGHT LASER LIGHT! Woohoo!

Hungry for lunch now…have a good afternoon!
