It's been a busy morning in La Casa de Lobster Placemat. One of my responsibilities for my job is making weather updates on various external websites, so I spent the bulk of the morning receiving calls from 5 - 9 a.m. regarding weather updates. We were delayed until 10 a.m., then delayed until noon and finally the university shut down for the day. I also heard word that there is no class tonight, so I am snowed-in and loving today!
In honor of this occasion, I made a bowl of snowed-in oats.
I was hoping the blueberries would pop a little more and make this bowl a little bluer, but they stuck to their guns today. I added my recent favorite combination - cool whip and pecans as toppings.
The perfect snowed-in oatmeal. I savored every bite. Now I'm busy planning what to do with this wonderful day off. It's a rarity for me.
I'm using today as a catch-up on some projects I've left slide to the wayside:
- freelance brochure (I've been working on for months!)
- blog migration (details on this to come!)
- preparing for the launch of my online portfolio (again, more details on this to come!)
- looking into Turbo Tax
- getting in at least 20 minutes of yoga
- working on my memoir piece for Thursday's class
What's the weather like where you? Are you off for the day? What are you up to?
I love your snowy oats!
ReplyDeleteWe actually are pretty snow free despite being close to everywhere that's snowed in! It is horribly cold and windy though, so I'm avoiding the outdoors as much as possible.
I don't have class anyway (yay!), but I have SO MUCH to do. Ahhh.
It's TEN FREAKING DEGREES here - brrr!! But since I'm on spring break (ironic, no??), I don't have to worry about going out in the crazy weather :-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy not having class tonight!!
That oatmeal looks great! Oh yeah, school is totally canceled for the day and I'm going to imagine that we might be delayed tomorrow morning as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm using today to do homework...argh...and running and fitting in some yoga as well! Yay.
I'm excited for your blog move, I'm also moving!
Blog migration. haha.
ReplyDeletesnowing. no school. yoga + eating + blogging. :D
Crazy all this snow! It actually snowed in some parts of SC but not in Charleston (it was actually "warm" compared other areas here this am). So no, I am at work! Hope you enjoy your snow day ;)
ReplyDeleteif ur moving to wordpress..how do u do that lol?
ReplyDeleteI doubt the weather is all that different here than where you are. I meant to work from home (well, I did for 2 hours) but I don't actually have anything else to do. So I'm declaring myself off.
ReplyDeleteLora - I am! You have to save the current copy of your blog and then export... I am still just afraid of exporting!
ReplyDeletelove the oats.
ReplyDeleteSo jealous!!! We got delayed until 10, but that was it. I was hoping for a full snow day!
No crazy weather today - just extremely low temperatures! Ack!
ReplyDeleteAnd those oats look great, I think they're a nice shade of purple. :)
I'm interested to hear more about some of those things you mentioned on your list!
I am snowed in as well, we have about 5 inches of snow here and about 8 at my work!
ReplyDeletegreat oats! I am snowed in too. Lots of blog reading to catch up on!
ReplyDeleteI'm in California and it's a little rainy but that's about it.
ReplyDeleteSnowed in Oats look FANTASTIC! YUM!
The weather is alright here in England... it was actually quite mild today!!! Can't complain!
ReplyDeleteI know you are probably sick of the snow but i think it looks so pretty!
your oatmeal pictures are always so gorgeous, seriously! and always different combos!
ReplyDeletethe weather here (in AZ) is starting to get warm again, finally!
