March Madness

March 10, 2010

Happy Humpday!

I’ve got a busy day planned, starting with a bike ride at 10. It’s gorgeous out and I’m finally getting in that long ride!

I had my first “real” bowl of oatmeal in many moons.

I’m calling this “real” oatmeal because I finally restocked my old fashioned oats. I had been using quick oats for the past month or so and it’s just not the same! I need that chew. This bowl contained 1/2 cup oats, 1/2 cup soymilk, 1/2 cup water, 1 banana, cinnamon, sea salt, pb and bonne maman. After seeing Court’s bowl yesterday with that beautiful jam I knew I needed it! :)

Coffeeeeeeeeee!

I took a coffee break for awhile but now I am back, full force. March is all about caffeine and wine. Wait, did I say that out loud? This is a healthy living blog…oops. ;) Still, whatever gets the writing done. Deadline is in 3 weeks!
Need to go search for headphones for my ipod today. What do y’all recommend? Its time to hear out of both ears, methinks. I’ve been using these broken ones for the past YEAR!

I like these ones: http://www.amazon.com/SHJ030-Multi-directional-Earhook-Headphone-Black/dp/B000UP840S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1268243891&sr=8-1

I found they are really good for the money. They stay put and I don’t ever feel like they’re going to fall out. I tend to manhandle my earphones, since I’m carrying them to and from the gym and sweating all over them, so I didn’t want to spend tons of money on them.

So simple and delicious! I’m a huge fan of skullcandy headphones. The buds go in your ears, and actually stay there!

Still love that mug:)
I suggest Sony’s sport ones. They have three different size options to choose from which is awesome.

I’m looking forward to your book. That jam looks delicious. Keep up the good work!

I am in full support of as much caffeine and wine as it takes to get the job done.

Christina March 10, 2010 at 10:18 am

I like the Skull Candy headphones. They come with 3 different sizes of earplugs and they don’t fall out when you run. Plus, you can get them in lots of different colors!

Allison K March 10, 2010 at 10:28 am

hahaha. I think it’s ok for March to be about caffeine and wine!

Jil March 10, 2010 at 10:34 am

Coffee is so necessary for my existence…haha :) I cannot see myself giving it up. :-D

Cynthia (It All Changes) March 10, 2010 at 10:44 am

I sweat too much to use ear buds so I rock the behind the head ones. That way my sweat doesn’t ruin one of the earphones. It happens everytime I get ear buds.

I can’t go a day without coffee, and I doubt I’d ever want to go a week without wine! You seem to live a balanced life though – eating healthy and exercising combined with some fun stuff is what’s it all about!

Coffee and wine are absolutely healthy :-) Someone was surprised once when I told them I drank coffee every day (just a cup!) and said ‘I thought you were all-natural and all that’… I said coffee IS natural, and healthy in moderation!

Tay March 10, 2010 at 11:07 am

Old fashioned rolled oats > instant oats anyday. sooooo much better. And hey – coffee and wine BOTH have health benefits, right?! You’re doing great on the healthy living track ;-)

Amanda@thgrainsofparadise March 10, 2010 at 11:26 am

Nothing wrong with a bit of coffee and wine! Sounds like a good plan for March lol!

eatmovelove March 10, 2010 at 11:33 am

I LOVE JAM !!! It’s awesome in oats too :)

Jillian March 10, 2010 at 11:43 am

Skull Candy all the way…the ones with the sized rubber pieces! They are so awesome!

I just picked up some crofters jam today for my oats. You cna’t go wrong with oats and jam.

Niki @ Niki's Neverending Adventure March 10, 2010 at 11:53 am

I like the idea of March being all about coffee and wine! 2 of my favorite things!!

Kristin (Cook, Bake and Nibble) March 10, 2010 at 12:00 pm

Mmm, I love “real” old fashioned oats! And Bonne Maman is the GREATEST jam. I need to find it here in Canada!

I notice so many foodie bloggers love their oats in the morning. :)

Mastering Public Health March 10, 2010 at 12:43 pm

Oh, wow, that PB & J oatmeal looks reeeeeeally good. Especially the jam. I think this may be the start of a trend. Hope you have a great day.

Lisa (bakebikeblog) March 10, 2010 at 12:50 pm

oooh that oatmeal looks great! The perfect fuel for a bike ride …have fun!

Nikki March 10, 2010 at 1:35 pm

Haha! I don’t always run with music but when I do, I only wear one ear (so I can hear traffic, etc). Of course, this makes my earbuds last longer because when the one ear inevitably dies, I still have one! Guess I’m not much help, huh? Right now I have some Nike ones with 3 different sized ear thingys that I’m liking.

Sarah @ THE FOODIE DIARIES March 10, 2010 at 1:55 pm

so my pantry is currently harboring a family size thing of quick oats. ive been avoiding it (slash replenishing my old fashioned oats stash every time they run out)–but im gonna have to face the music, soon, i fear haha

Tali March 10, 2010 at 4:09 pm

I’ve got the Sure sound-isolation earbuds and LOVE them. The sound is amazing and the chord is nice and long in case you’re working out and need some extra wiggle room.

Abby March 10, 2010 at 5:50 pm

Thank you! Your blog makes me happy for so many reasons…the pictures of food, your job at the winery, your choices in food, the random shout outs to Tampa (did I mention the pictures of food) aaand especially because of lines like this… “March is all about caffeine and wine. Wait, did I say that out loud? This is a healthy living blog…oops.”
:D It helps that I am reading this in Tampa sipping on a wonderful bottle of Shiraz!

I love skullcandy earbuds even more than my bose
