I mixed 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese, cinnamon, blueberries, and crushed three arrowroot flavored Newman's Own Organics Alphabet Cookies on top to make the crust. The kind people at Newmans sent me a very large package of samples yesterday and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with these cookies when I saw them. They made a perfect "pie crust" for my oats. I could eat this combo everyday and probably will. Oh, and be on the look out for a Newman's giveaway coming soon!
I woke up this morning before my alarm as usual. I just wasn't tired anymore. I bounded out of bed full of energy and ready to run. I stretched, worked my abs, and left rambling comments on people's blogs while I drank my coffee. When that was done, I set out on my run. It was only 25 degrees out, but I bundled up nice. The plan was for 4 miles, but I felt good and went for 6. I ran 6 miles in 57 minutes.
I have a bit of a sweet tooth again today. My lunch is a wrap filled with Barney Butter and banana slices. One of my favorites!
smushy smush- Women who call their female friends "bitches," "sluts," "whore", etc...Not only do you sound like an idiot, but when you call yourself names like this, you're making it okay for men to call you a bitch or a slut. Embracing and using this language sends a strong message that it's okay for men to demean you. You might think the meaning behind the language has changed, but you're wrong. The sentiment is still the same. Show some class and stop talking like a fool.
- Co-worker that walks by my office every five minutes and says, "Hi! How are you?" then just stands there. Why do you do this every five minutes? I'm doing fine and that fact isn't going to change in five minutes. I think we've reached our quotas of hello for the day. Go finish your part of our report so I can go home sometime this century.
- People reminding me that my 30th birthday is in a few weeks and asking what I want. I know when my birthday is. Why do you need to email me or text me every day "UR GONNA B 30!" "WHAT DO U WANT FOR UR BDAY. UR 30!" Seriously, every day. It's not my friends either, they've stopped (finally). It's rando's that I haven't talked to in years. I really couldn't care less about my birthday. I've never had a birthday party in my life, even as a kid, so it's not like I'm going to have a party or something. And why ask me what I want? Am I 5? Even if there is something I want, we haven't talked in like ten years. You're not buying me sh*t and you know it. There is something I want, but I doubt it will happen. Anyway, I appreciate your kindness, but stop texting me!!!

Hahaha! I can't stop laughing. I'm sorry you're annoyed Melissa. What's with your coworker? I have to admit I'm curious, what is you want for your birthday?
Some things I'm annoyed with:
My husband not rinsing his dishes and they get crusty in the sink, my daughter waking me up every three hours (I know she's a baby, but I need sleep damn it!), and my work not putting my direct deposit in on time.
Hi s$%! how are you? Haha, just kidding. Too soon?? :)
I have had a pretty stressful week at work. My old boss who decided she wanted to reduce her hours to part time and change positions (leaving me alone in the middle of a project) got upset with me this week for not including her in some new plans after she had JUST told me that I had to figure it out and then let her know because "it wasn't her job anymore." Blech! Thank goodness its almost the weekend!
Hang in there lady! Just remember your awesome run and breakfast. :)
I can't believe your coworker would do that. that's kinda creepy. I know how you feel about the birthday thing. I am turning 30 in 6 months and I know I will get questions. From my hubby, that's ok, but if strange people start bringing it up, well then it's on! The breakfast looks great. Almost like my dinner last night, which I will get pics up on my blog tomorrow.
@Tracey: I'm sorry you're not getting any sleep. I feel ya on the crusty dishes, that's the worst.
@Emily: Your boss sounds like she still wants control. Tell her to go home.
@Melinda: My coworker doesn't come across creepy, just annoying. Thank god :)
I'll be sure to email you everyday about your birthday in 6 months ;)
Um, super weird coworker!!!
Hm, things that are annoying me: being stuck at work, people who walk into my space and just start gabbing when I'm actually trying to do work, and the really loud annoying woman's whose office is next to my cube. She's on the phone ALL DAY, gossiping and complaining.
I love barney butter, I wish I didn't have to send away for it :(
I hate when girls call their friends whores too, it makes them sound trashy. "Hey slut". Wha? Yet, I hate it when they call their friends hun too. "hey hun!". Ugh. Um, creepy co-worker much? Tell him to buzz off.
I'm actually not annoyed at anything today! I think it's the Christmas musice I've been listening to. Turn on 105.7 and it will lift you up!
@Julie: The worst is when the 17 year old girl working at Starbucks calls you "hun."
The thing with the creepy coworker is that he does this EVERY day. One of these days, I'm going to burst into tears and tell him I'm not okay.
@Katherine: You should hide her phone the next time she gets up.
Your oatmeal looks delicious - I LOVE LOVE LOVE blueberry pie! I need to try cottage cheese in my oats.
Can you put headphones on and pretend you are listening intently to a song so you don't hear said co-worker?
My birthday is coming up too! 30 isn't so bad - trust me. I am not a big fan of birthday and hate when a big deal is made of them.
I completely agree, I HATE it when people are like "Hey slut, how's it going?" It's like, really? Did you seriously just call your friend that? It's NOT cute. AT ALL. Ugh. Somewhere, Susan B Anthony is rolling over in her grave, and Gloria Steinem is having a bad case of eye twitches.
Oh UGH! Ok, I have a confession, I don't like it when my boss calls me and says the SAME things everytime, "Hi Gina, it's Kyle, how are you?". Literally EVERY TIME! And it's the exact tone too.
I also can't stand when Nick walks in the door form work and burps REALLY loud. Ok, We both burp a lot, but come on, RIGHT when you walk in the door?! Ugh.
I could go on. But I won't. haha. Oh, and Nick went through the 30th b-day last year, yikes, he was a wreck. Hopefully you'll embrace it like you should! it's JUST a number! It means nothing, and heck it's SO YOUNG! It's the new 20 :)
Did you ever watch 13 Going On 30? The teen wanted to be "thirty and flirty and thriving!"
My coworker rant is when someone walks by me and says, "Hi...how are you," as he/she passes. So if I am polite and answer, I look like I'm talking to no one cuz he/she kept walking and didn't wait for my response.
Don't ask how I am if you don't really care! Because now I wanna tell you how I am. I'm annoyed! (LOL)
You are so adorable! I love the rant!
YUM to those oats and omgg i agree w/ all of those things beng super anoying.. i hate when people say the bitches thingg especially!! it really bugs me when people chew their food really loudly hahah
xoxo

@Gina: I love a good burp. It means they're well fed.
@Melissa: That's annoying or when you walk by someone a bunch of times and everytime they ask how you are.
I think we should make Thursday a day for ranting.
Love those oats! I completely understand! I hate when girl says to me: "Hey slut!" Ugh it sounds so trashy! I also hate when people walk by me at work and just stare me down! Go away!
First of all love your post. (Those oats look amazing, I have to try cottage cheese in mine, what a good idea!)
I have a similar problem to your number two. There is this one creepy guy at work who will come to ask me something and then just stand in my cubicle when we are done talking. I can't get rid of him and I have work to do!!
And I totally agree with your point about birthdays too!!
That oatmeal looks delish! And nice workout, lady!
Bugging me? Coworker. Ugh. Tomorrow is Friday!
what a messed up coworker. reminds me of my messed up coworker (she started bringin yogurt messes because i ate them...and then complained they wre runny...and then was like YOU DIDN"T LOOK AT IT WHEN I SHOWED YOU. uh okay, crazy)
you know what really bugs me? this twilight biz. does everyone want to be vampires and i just missed the shuttle?
i hate how some people in trader joe's seem like they've never been inside a supermarket/trader joes. they just sort of mosey with their cart and then PARK intfront of the samples to eat in front of the sample stand to get more? way to block me in.
wow. i sound like a bitch. lol.
nice breakfast!
blueberry pie oats!! sweeeeeet! im dying to try barney butter!
