Morning everyone! Can you believe it’s Labor Day weekend already! I’m a little sad that the summer is over, but I have a great weekend ahead. Here’s what’s on my agenda for the last days of summer…
- Friday – haircut (which is an event for me)
- Saturday – Apple picking with the fam
- Sunday – Outdoor music concert (my “Labor Day weekend show”)
- Monday – Golf (not me, but the guys) and a BBQ
- Tuesday – A vacation day for me and hopefully the day I finally see the latest Harry Potter
I want to fit in some magazine reading and a new recipe or two. So much to do, so little time!
But, before I get into the weekend, let’s talk about today! The weather is just amazing this morning – slightly cool and sunny. It was just perfect for a run.
For breakfast, I was inspired by Tina’s oatmeal this morning and decided to make my own oatmeal creation…
I started with about 1/4 whole oats and added 1/2 cup skim milk. After I microwaved it for 2 minutes, I added a spoonful of MaraNatha all-natural creamy peanut butter, a few walnuts (I’m on a walnut kick if you can’t tell!) and a handful of blueberries. Oh my, this is such a filling combination and full of protein, fiber, and antioxidants.
I also had a little chopped fruit that I brought home from our staff luncheon yesterday…
Doesn’t that fruit look yummy! Finally, to top off my breakfast, I had a shot of wellness from
Zola.
I have a ton of grocery shopping to do today so I need to hurry up and get ready then head out the door. I also have a haircut appointment at 1:45 – yeah!! I’m dying to try a new style, but I’m such a nervous nellie about my hair. Whatever I decide, I’ll post some pics later – if it turns out well. Otherwise, I’ll be in hiding for a few weeks -ha!
By the way, what’s everyone doing for the long Labor Day weekend? Even though I have a full weekend planned, I really wish I could pull a Jimmy B. and say I was heading up to San Francisco for the Labor Day weekend show… I can never get enough Jimmy!
Ok, now I really have to get going. Have a great morning everyone!
looks like a wonderful breakfast, I had oats too! Sounds like you have a great weekend planned. I’m sad summer’s over too, I’ve heading back to grad school with work and the craziness of trying to get my thesis and projects going, yikes! Hope you have a productive friday and a good weekend, thanks for stopping by my blog! 🙂
Hi Kristen (eatingRD) – Grad School? I remember that time well. It was good for the most part, but I seriously would NOT do a thesis again unless someone paid me a LOT of money! My advice is to stay focused and keep the end in mind. A few night caps and venting sessions with other grad students may help too 😉 Best of luck to you this semester.
