It's probably not a good sign that, when I brought my car in for service this morning, they started adding up the cost of repairs and then asked me if I'd considered buying a new car, right?

I'm right there with you, and I haven't even taken it in yet! Well, tuneup, clutch, probably need new tires, possibly time to replace the brake pads...

ita, my DH loves the Ong Bak movies like whoa.

Huh. I think I will buy the regular oats, then. I like the bigger cut.

I put dried cran, walnuts, a fuckton of cinnamon and some vanilla in with mine, with some brown sugar and I use milk.

I also like raisins and almonds. I use whatever I have. You could add dried fruit or nuts of any type, I think: cherries, blueberries, apples, sunflower seeds, pecans. Some people add a little flaxseed, but I am not that ambitious.

Mom puts some peanut butter in her oatmeal, mostly for the protein but it also tastes good.

It's funny, I buy lots of oats to make muesli, but I never really think to make oatmeal unless I have steel cut.

and then asked me if I'd considered buying a new car, right?

Good thing you live in a city where you don't need a car, eh?

The other half is American.

But Polish-American, no?

I love oatmeal, but I'm like Tep and like the whole, rolled oats.

I'm on a rolled oats kick at the moment, but I also adore steel-cut. I have my oatmeal with a wee pinch of salt, a pat of butter and a tablespoon of good, dark maple syrup. Perfection.

Cream, fresh nutmeg, dried cranberries. Delish.

I bought some steel-cut oatmeal at TJs back in December, but haven't opened it up yet. Maybe I'll have some for breakfast tomorrow.

Today's breakfast was the leftover shortrib meat from my Xoco sandwich last night. I didn't even bother reheating it, just ate it straight out of the box, and it was delish! Nom nom nom.

In 45 minutes, I'll be in the pool for my afternoon swim, and then I'll be heading back here to clean up my apartment. Dad invited himself up for the day tomorrow, and the place is overdue for a dusting and vacumning. I'll probably be stopping at the grocery store on the way home for a few things (milk, yogurt, produce).

I really should carry my cell.

Yes, you should. (This is like a conversation with my mom).

My oatmeal is rolled oats cooked in milk (I did use skim, but now I'm on soy) with vanilla and cinnamon.

It was great to see Kathy, Tom, and Brenda last night! After we parted, I headed out to a birthday celebration for a co-worker. I've been more social in the last 24 hours than in the last several months. I was not dressed warm enough for train platforms and wind off the lake though. When I got home around 2am I was ready to burrow under the covers.
