I just finished a bowl of oatmeal, AIWFG

I've been trying to eat more oatmeal. My annual physical said my cholesterol was high. I figured the easiest fix would be to stop having the egg, cheese and meat breakfast sandwhiches in the cafeteria every morning and have oatmeal instead. This morning I just couldn't do it. I looked at the oatmeal, went "Bleh" and got a breakfast sandwhich instead. I mean, I like oatmeal, but I've been eating it almost every morning for over a month.

Happy Birthday, Katie!!!

I didn't catch 24 last night, but forgot that until after I started reading the white font and was puzzled that I couldn't remember what anyone was talking about.

Have you tried various sweetners? Like honey or brown sugar? Various fruits, like bananas, raspberries, etc?

I've been trying to actually eat breakfast rather than skipping it. This morning, I managed two pieces of toast.

I am just not cut out for breakfast unless it can be purchased and eaten in the car, and that sort of defeats the healthy side of things.

msbelle, I dreamed my family was visiting your apartment last night. You were a gracious hostess and had many toys to offer Casper to play with. Your apartment was two rooms, one a kitchen/living room and the other a bed/bath which has a huge sunken whirlpool tub that took up 1/4 of the floor space. The only thing was, you taught my two-year-old child to smoke cigarettes, and she wandered around the rest of the dream puffing away. How could you!?

I get it from the cafeteria at work, which means my choices are brown sugar, cinnamon and raisins. I normally do the first two, and throw raisins in occaisionally for a change of pace. At home I've got some different flavored instant stuff that I eat on the weekends, but I'd rather get an extra 15 minutes of sleep in the morning than wake up early enough to cook and eat oatmeal at home.

I don't like eating traditional breakfast foods for breakfast. If I do eat breakfast, it's usually something like a bowl of miso.

I love traditional breakfast foods: eggs (fried, boiled, scrambled or in an omlette), bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, pancakes, waffles, french toast, cold and hot cereals, hash browns, etc. Most of them just aren't that good for you, though.

I finally got my official notice of condofication for my apartment under the front door this morning. Included in the paperwork was the offer for first refusal. I wasn't going to buy it anyway, since it's only a 1BR with no washer/dryer in the unit and only street parking that you have to pay an additional $24/month for the city permit, but it is in a nice vintage six-flat in a great neighborhood. Based on the price of a non-vintage unit I saw listed across the street for $125K (with a parking spot in the lot behind that building), I was thinking my place would be going for around $110-120K.

Try $189,500.

And some co-workers are wondering why I'm still renting...

I could eat breakfast three times a day.
