finally made these muffins


leftover oatmeal muffins
dreamed up by amanda soule
{original recipe at the bottom of this post}
1 cup cooked oatmeal
1 egg
1 Tablespoon melted butter
1/2 cup milk
4 Tablespoons honey/sugar/maple syrup
Tablespoons baking powder
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup extras {i used pecans & cinnamon}
bake at 400° for 20 minutes

such a good use for leftover oatmeal.
yes, they are delicious.
even marian {oatmeal-hater} loved them.

today {with a side of sheng}


this morning, i drove marian downtown to bsu
for day 2 of a student council conference.
it was a good excuse to grab some guru donuts
in trade for my long, early round-trip commute.
later, i drove back to bsu to pick her up.
a good excuse to get some green juice
to balance out my decadent morning.
in less than 2 hours,
she needs to be back there again.
thankfully, she's carpooling tonight.
okay, we had a last-minute family fall-out
where my limits were exceeded.
she did not go back for the dance.
as a result, i feel a mixture of
mostly guilt +
feeling like maybe i made the right call.
she was sound asleep at 8pm.
sigh.

if you lived here you'd know
that there is some idiotic traffic in this city.
frustratingly outdated infrastructure
that encourages hasty bad decisions.
careless drivers doing some really stupid stuff.
like a too-slow, swooping merge
across several lanes into 50 mph traffic.
right in front of me.

my nerves are shot.

and, what is happening here?

i'm not an expert, but i'm pretty sure
it's supposed to sound a little more like this

this morning,
our friend jan is having surgery.
she is so close to our hearts,
and today we are holding her even closer.

please send her
your good thoughts, prayers, and love.
