It's Saturday and I've already been up for an hour. Dog jumped on the bed and me and then threw up. And I have an unnatural amount of grading to finish. And I have to go supervise a field trip on a Saturday.

Does anyone else mix their cereals? Like a whole bowl of frosted mini wheats sounds boring, but a whole bowl of the vanilla almond whatever sounds excessive, so a mix is nice. Just me?

Oof, no. I think the idea of things sogging at different rates is throwing me.

Product 19! I used to love that (though it is definitely one you have to eat fast to avoid the sog).

I rarely eat cereal and the idea of having more than one box of cereal quietly going stale on my shelf is more alarming than a bowl of mixed cereals is intriguing.

I also often eat my cereal dry because I am usually out of milk (I don't maintain a minimum inventory of it in my fridge the way I do butter, for example. It's not a staple in my world)

That's a lot to carry, Scrappy! I'm sorry.

I never understood why people put cereal in milk, I've eaten it dry all my life. We were never big cereal eaters in my family, anyway, maybe my mother didn't want to deal with bowls and pouring and all that. We must have eaten breakfast before school, and we had milk in glasses, but I think it was more toast and butter or jam and the like. I have no memory of breakfasts.

I ate a lot of frozen mini pizzas for breakfast in high school because I didn't eat eggs and I needed the protein. And wanted something hot. Somehow, frozen pizza in the toaster oven was the simplest breakfast.

I like cereal with soy milk or rice milk but I have to make a special effort to buy those. I've just never been a milk drinker.

You need a different alarm clock, Kat.

We have to go decorate Tim's dad's house for Christmas today, and I'm trying to beat back peak levels of resentment. I know I could stay home, but I do genuinely want to be helpful. It's just that, after 10 years with his family, you'd think I would stop being surprised that something that should take any normal human being 3 hours ends up taking 8 hours because they make things needlessly complicated.

I know my FiL has Wild Turkey, so I may just start drinking the minute I walk through the door.

Tipsy decorating is way preferable to sober decorating.

David, I have some bad news for you: Product 19 is discontinued .

Nooooooo!!!!

I wondered why it was off my local grocery shelf. It had been harder and harder to find but they still stocked it.

Special K is no substitute!

Cereal mixing is the main problem in my marriage. My DH mixes. He no longer mixes ALL the cereals without asking, though, after I threw an operatic, melodramatic shitfit about cereal mixing and trust.

Also I've switched to Grape Nuts, which doesn't mix well with anything.
