Monday Blues

I cannot believe our weekend in San Francisco is already over and I’m back at work!

The past 3 days went by so fast – too fast – and I’m not ready to be back in my “real world” yet  :(

BUT, Monday is here…which means I’m going to be working in 40 minutes. And that means oatmeal for breakfast!

I enjoyed every breakfast I had in SF (especially that one at the hotel Saturday morning), but there’s just something about oatmeal that says “welcome home”.

It’s like a big hug in a bowl, isn’t it? That’s how I see it.

Today’s was pretty basic – I had 2 bananas that were getting ripe when we left, so I stored them in the fridge over the weekend while we were gone. This one was perfect to use today.

  • 1/2 cup oats, 1 cup water, pinch salt
  • 1/2 banana, sliced
  • 1.5 Tbsp crunchy pb
  • cinnamon

I’ve got tons of pictures to sort through today, on top of working, so I’m going to start doing that before work starts at 8.  I guess I better make some tea to get me going this morning.

I also have to get groceries at some point today since we have nothing in the house – we’ll see how that goes  :)  It’s going to be busy!

 

How was your weekend?
