As Orange As My Co-Pilot

Armed yesterday with a sack of snacks, we hit the road to walk through more open houses.

Sack of Snacks

Orange you glad I brought directions?

Would you believe that orange lead us straight to a house we loved and are ready to make an offer on? Well believe it! Our realtors are coming over this morning to put together the paper work and to take a look at our house to get it ready to put on the market.

I need to have people over first thing on a Monday morning more often – the house is spotless! I gave up my workout time this morning to pick up toys, books, put away laundry and even clean out the fridge.

Zak: Are they going to look in the fridge?

Me: Are you asking me NOT to clean the fridge?

**crickets chirping**

I didn’t think so. And yes, maybe they will look in the fridge. Maybe that will make or break the whole deal. What if I ask them if they’d like something to eat or drink and they tell me they are in the mood for kale chips? I’d have to open the fridge, right? We want it to look nice in there too. Forget baking cookies to make the house smell nice, let’s bake some kale!

Speaking of kale, isn’t it time for breakfast? I wanted something warm this morning but didn’t want to invest 15 minutes in oatmeal, so I made oat bran instead. Cooks in 1 minute? Where do I sign!

3/4 c unsweetened vanilla hemp milk, 1/2 c water, half a banana sliced, a dash of cinnamon – brought to a boil while stirring occasionally. Reduce to simmer, add 1/2 c of oat bran. 1 minute later? Time to eat.

Banana Oat Bran

Topped with the other half of the banana and some sliced almonds.

Oatbran Monday

Taking a little Breakfast Blog Break and then it’s time to whip out the vacuum and figure out what else I can neurotically clean between now and 10:30.
