September 27, 2011

Getting out of bed this morning was torturous. I don't know why I'm having such a hard time with this lately. Yesterday I turned off my alarm and went back to sleep. Without even realizing it. I know, not so atypical of a college student; but I've never had a problem with this. Nevertheless, I love being up early (despite the initial shock of waking up) and can't bear to set my alarm later. Like this morning, for instance. Wake up at 7:00, and no where to be till 9:30... 2.5 hours completely to myself. I finally did my laundry, had some quiet time, got ready for the day, and now am soaking up the cool morning air on the balcony. Granted, not legitimate fall weather, but it works.

But speaking of Fall... Oatmeal is a breakfast staple for me. Cheap, fast, healthy. What more could I really ask for. Though sometime it gets kind of boring, which is when some creative experimenting takes place.
This Morning it led to a bowl of Pumpkin Oatmeal:  

(picture does not do it justice)
Take your bowl  of cooked oatmeal.
Stir in:
Dollop (who doesn't love that word) of Canned Pumpkin 
Sprinkle of Nutmeg
Couple Shakes of Cinnamon
Touch of Ground Cloves
Splash of Milk
Dusting of Brown Sugar
Small Handful of Raisins

Mmmm.... A delicious way to incorporate some Autumn into your day.
