Sorry I was MIA yesterday but the past couple days have been a little boozy and busy and I had to take a day off. After two nights of too much drinking and not enough sleeping I’m feeling a bit crummy today. blech. It’s been fun but I’m actually looking forward to being nice and lame tonight and perhaps going to bed at 8 PM :O).
So let’s pick up where we left off! Our Christmas tree is just lovely. My roommate Nicole braved the monsoon-like weather we were having Wednesday night and found us the perfect little tree for our family room. I had to take off and meet a friend before the decorations went up but here we all are in front of the naked original.

And now, it looks all decorated and lovely :O).
Then yesterday happened, a work happy hour happened and here we are at Friday breakfast. One thing that is sure to get a sleepy girl out of bed:

Banana Oats :O).
- 1/3 cup each oats/soy milk/water
- splash of vanilla
- cinnamon
- tbsp. flax
- cacao nibs
- almond butter
Not ripe enough bananas make for a less than delicious bowl of oatmeal and sadly that’s what happened today. I don’t know why my bananas won’t ripen! I’ve had them sitting at home for like 4 days now. Does cold weather slow the process?
Annnyway, back to work for me. See you for a weekend full of lots of sleep and no more alcohol :O).

Love your avatar with the pizza!! Yum to the almond butter – what kind is that? It looks sooo creamy – I usually get Maranatha but love any/all kinds
Great blog! Check mine out if you wish – love new readers and finding great sites! …and yah…that’s what you say NOW about the alcohol hah;)
it’s mara natha actually! my fave too :O)
Well, hey, I kinda like when days are boozy.
haha, they have their perks :O)
Yay for being boozy and busy! LOL
Love the tree, it’s so cute!
I’m putting my tree up tomorrow! I love the festivity!
I’d have to say bananas definitely do take longer to ripen when it’s cool….mostly because they’re tropical I’d say.
I think if you put the bananas next to apples they will ripen quicker- something about the natural gas that apples emit- otherwise I’m insane and made it up!
Glad you got your tree up!
Beth, love the tree, you and your roomies look so cute!! Matty and I just put ours up and decorated it too!!!
Thanks Jamie!! Miss you – talk soon!! :O)
I want a pic of the decorated tree too, please! Though you guys all look so cute and loving in that pic…
It’s up!
great job on decorating the tree! now it’s officially Christmas season!!!
the cold weather definitely slows down the ripping process. maybe put it closer to the heat?
