Five Things...

You didn't know about me :)

1. I was born at 11:11 am. 
     I actually didn't learn this until recently...which is ironic, because I always wish at 11:11 if I see it anyway. My mom probably wished at 11:11 for me to get the hell out. Wish granted.

2. I love the smell of gas. 
    The car stuff, not the, er, flatulent stuff. I remember being a little kid and inhaling it while my mom was filling the tank. I'm probably missing a few brain cells because of that.

3. I played the piano for 14 years.
    ...but haven't touched one since I went to college. It was somewhat of a requirement to growing up in my parents' house.


4. I don't like being wet.
    Showering is okay (thankfully), but pools and the ocean? No, thank you. I have no idea where this characteristic comes from and I'm aware that it's entirely princess-like, but I just can't enjoy it.

5. I keep my fingernails awkwardly short (and I have horrible cuticles, I know).
    I'm convinced it's a result of all the piano, but I don't like any white tip. Toes are the same way. Every time I get my nails done the manicurist asks me if it hurts, and no, it doesn't- my nails are used to it!


Tell me something most people don't know about you!!

This morning, I tried something kinda different for breakfast: cold oats!


I know I've seen these in the blogworld, I just can't remember where (let me know if it was you!). Last night I made a pot with rolled oats, almond milk, cinnamon, banana and flax meal, then stuck it in the fridge overnight. This morning I added blackberries and a sprinkle of cinnamon, then microwaved them for 30 seconds just to take the chill off.


They were gummy yet yummy- a different texture from hot oats, but nonetheless delicious.

Off to BodyPump- it's been awhile since I've gone and I can't wait!
