Coma

on April 30, 2009

I slipped into a coma last night and slept from 8:30 PM to 6:00 AM. WOW. Guess I needed the sleep! I feel a little bit better this morning, but I kind of feel like I’m coming down with the swine flu (just kidding… kind of).

I woke up to two fun packages! The first one was a birthday gift from Abbie, who is seriously the coolest girl EVER:

Trader Joe’s Raw Almonds, Hibiscus Flowers, and Sweet Baby Pineapple! Plus, some dried Mango.

AND, a reader named Sam sent me this package all the way from England!

Thanks, Sam! And GOOD LUCK on your upcoming 5K and 10K! You can do it!

What a lovely way to start the day!

My breakfast incorporated some goodies from Abbie‘s gift:

I based this bowl of oatmeal on my Upside Down Pineapple Cake Oatmeal, which is reallly delicious but kind of a naughty breakfast. :) This version was much healthier!

My oatmeal contained:

1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk
1 sliced banana
Toppings: chopped pecans, brown sugar, and four chopped dried baby pineapples

Con cafe:

It’s going to be a busy day! I better get crack-a-lackin’!

Be careful of sun stroke…it appears that that’s what I have. Even used the strongest SPF my aunt could find (85).

3 years has gone by fast! Congrats to all of us 2006ers and 16th flooers!
