Here is the current 10 day weather forecast for Minneapolis.
Aren’t you glad you don’t live where I do? 
So funny story for y’all. The mornings I workout at the gym before work, I bring my gym bag with my work clothes and my eats for the day. So today, my breakfast incorporates half & half. So, being the brilliant blond that I am, I put some half & half in a container and set it at the bottom of my gym bag, thinking that in case it did get tossed around, it would stay flat at the bottom of the bag.
Well, when I went to put on my pants this morning, the half & half had leaked all over the rear side of my khakis. It left a white liquidstain. So, I tried to blow dry the stain away, but it still left a noticeable and large mark. So I spent about 15 minutes scrubbing the bum area of my pants. And much to my surprise, it finally worked! How is that for starting off a Tuesday? Best of all, I still managed to salvage some half & half for my breakfast!
Things had been going too great lately, I hadn’t been forgetting anything, so something was bound to happen. Do you have any funny stories of things that have happened to you at the gym?
What better way to start a snowy, cold day than a bowl of oats. A classic in the blogging world, Banana Oats.
I start with instant oats. Way more convenient to bring to the office than loose oats.
A mushy banana. Perfect for banana oats. The ease of smashing into the mixture as well as the sweetness it adds over a plain old yellow naner.
My must have, half & half. Nothing makes the oats creamier in my mind. Necessity. If you haven’t tried it, you must.
And last but not least, nut butter. In my case, Barney Butter.
And for lunch… Remember last night when I mentioned that pizza is comforting? Yep, snow storm headed my way, I need some comforting food. Or maybe that is just an excuse I am using for today. I think it is the later. 
Tonight we don’t have much planned. Bundling up in our apartment and watching the beautiful snow fall!
Does it snow where you live? Has anybody not seen snow?
I think we live on almost the same latitude! We have already gotten 8 inches, with another 10-15 to come in the next 36 hours. AWESOME
My best gym packing blunder would be the Saturday I had plans to go wedding dress/bridesmaids dress shopping all day with my friend. After my early morning workout, I showered and went to change. Not only had I forgotten underwear, but I also forgot a bra. Let me tell you how fun dress shopping with no undies is…! I do not recommend it!
It snowed for a little while on Saturday (the equivalent of a DC storm – people freaked out over one inch) and then it was over.
I once put my gym bag on top of my clothes and my shampoo leaked all over EVERYTHING. It was the end of the day, after work and normally I would just say screw it, and wear my gym clothes home, but I had been swimming. It was a big, gross mess!
It’s been snowing here, but we haven’t gotten a lot. It just feels like it hasn’t stopped!
sorry about the leakage of the half & half :-\ and it is supposed to snow here in madison, wisconsin a well!! should be pretty
Glad the gym incident turned out alright, that is totally something I would do! Or like when last week I somehow got chocolate all over my workpants AT work and didn’t notice until right before a meeting, so then tried to wash it off and let’s just say the stains weren’t in the most opportune of places and looked pretty funny :/ One of those “FML” moments haha…. have fun cozyin’ up in the snow tonight!!!
great save with the half and half!
my gym story would be: i was rushing from school to take an aerobics class and got there with just enough time to change, but realized i forgot pants! haha the instructor ended up letting me take the class in my jeans (did i mention this was while studying abroad in Italy, so i had to explain this all in my best attempt at the Italian language)
I love snow and hear i’m supposed to be getting some here tonight (although not as much as you i’m sure!)
enjoy your day girl!
dang.. glad i don’t live in minneapolis. oh wait…. i do!
no major gym bloopers.. have forgotten my underwear, like everyone. girl’s gotta get her workout in though…!
p.s. there is something about leftover pizza that is sooooo good.
oh yesss it definitely snows where i live!

i grew up around snow on the east coast so i definitely remember how wonderful it is when it first comes. but i also remember how disgusting it gets after a few days. now that i’m on the west coast with no snow, i don’t miss the clean-up but i do miss that magical first dusting.
Glad to hear that you got the stain out! I would have been panicked. I can’t wait for the snow here in Boston. We had a little over the weekend but we are supposed to get some tomorrow. I am hoping it stays mostly snow and doesn’t change over to that nasty “wintry mix” we sometimes get. Being from Maine, where the snow is plentiful, I get so excited for snow storms and especially blizzards. Enjoy your cozy night.
Oh my gosh, I so feel your weather pains! It’s not supposed to be out of the teens for the next week! It was a high of 4 degrees today!! It’s unbelievably freezing – I FEEL FOR YOU!
Glad you got the stain out – that’s not a fun way to start the day.
Stay warm!
One time I forgot to pack work shoes in my gym bag! Luckily, there was a Target closeby!
I use fat free half and half in my coffee every morning. I’ll have to throw some in my oats some time! Thanks for the suggestion!
It doesn’t snow in Oklahoma so much as it ices. We rarely get a pretty snow – maybe once ever couple years we do. But two or three times a year we’ll get freezing rain that makes like pretty much miserable.
Definitely try it in the oats. It makes them so unbelievably creamy!
