Oatmeal I Can Believe In

img_0203aMy friend Krissy says that “it makes every morning fabulous” and that she can, ” eat this for breakfast, lunch, AND dinner…”

I’m talking about oatmeal, my breakfast of choice. It’s warm, hearty, and is packed with fibery goodness.

Sometimes though it’s hard to find a bowl in our office to enjoy my daily breakfast; so this past Martin Luther King day I decided to fix that problem.

I present to you the OBAMA BOWL!

For the couple of months I’ve had it around it’s made my mornings just a little bit more hopeful.

and now a totally unrelated morning conversation:

Lilu‘s new status message: It’s a good day.

Me: your mom is a good day

Lilu: hahahaa your FACE is a good day!

Me: it is especially when you mom sees it

Lilu: my mom’s blind.

Me: ….

Lilu: HA! Freaked you out didn’t I?

Me: nah I went to get the oatmeal I can believe in- and I was thinking what if I said,
“well then she does that Ray Charles face feeling kind of thing, totally loves it.”

Lilu: ooo that would have been good, but you didn’t. Minus 2 points.

    I had oatmeal this morning, too! I think it would have tasted better with a little more hope.

    I have no words. I wish my morning could have started with an exchange like that.

    Ooooh, I want the Obama bowl!

      Krissy- Thanks for the oatmeal tips- I’ll be sure to bring change to my oatmeal in 2009.

      Talking about change, Liebchen- I need to share with you the recipe for adding hope to your oatmeal, and you don’t need an Obama bowl to do it!

      LiLu- I think I need to start a scoreboard on my blog, because I don’t know who is keeping score and what these points are all about.

      The Pumpernickel- I am surprised you do not have more convos like these.

      NW- I’ll show you how you can make your own but we’ll have to wait for a Lazy Monday

    Your oatmeal bowl makes me smile. Makes me wish I had a more energizing way to have my breakfast.

    And that’s probably the crafty-est thing I’ve seen you do in years too. ^-~
