I got the call for a snow day at 5am and I've been in and out of sleep since that call 2 hours ago. We only got a couple of inches but I guess the road conditions were bad.
Super jealous of your snow day kayladawn91. The family that I work for, the mom is a teacher. I was wishing so hard for at least a delay today but no such luck. I had to drive through 2 delayed school districts to get to my job too. Rude.

It's cold. It might snow. I miss my spring weather.
I also had a dream we had a pet leopard. He kept trying to knead me. I kept pushing him away, but he kept headbutting me and purring. It was both awesome and terrible at the same time.

Just wet snow around these parts this morning. But it's making it a pain in the butt to have to drive to my downtown office today. Roads get wet and people don't know how to drive.

We got at least 8 inches at my house. The news said the roads are in decent condition but slow. I said eff it, I'm working from home. I think half my group is WFH today anyway so why not.
Good Morning! It has been raining heavily for two days here. This morning it finally slowed down some and we got a couple minutes of sunshine. I needed it! It's amazing how the weather can affect mood.

Hi everyone! It's like 60 degrees F in Connecticut today. I am so hot that I just removed my cardigan at work. I am SO HOTTTTTTTTTTT. Literally. I normally have a no sleeveless rule at work, but I'm breaking it.
We had a snow day yesterday. We got 3-4" but there were 30mph winds so it was white out conditions. They got the roads pretty clear overnight, so DH is back to work & DD6 is back to school.
I made overnight oats for the first time last night and the amount I got compared to the amount in the picture gives me the sadz. How tiny was the mason jar they used that it was filled? I barely got stuff in 1/3 of the jar.
We had really gusty wind last night, and we lost power for all of 30 seconds.
H comes home in 3 days, and I have worn myself completely out trying to stay busy so I don't miss him. Saturday will be spent on the couch watching Fuller House until time to get him from the airport.

I had my winter coat on before I left the house. I checked the weather and was like nope nope nope lol. Light fleece for me today! Did you get those crazy thunderstorms last night? I could barely sleep it was so loud
Yes - the storms were crazy! I thought my house was going to blow away. Or that a tree was going to fall on it. Luckily, neither of those happened.
It's so warm here it's crazy. Also, part of our gutter blew offin the wind last night, yikes! I'm heading to work...even though I've been told to find a new job. This should be awesome and not at all awkward. At least I can just apply to jobs all day, openly.

So I've wanted to try overnight oats because I hear so many good things about them...but is the flavor any different from regular old oatmeal?
It's pretty much like regular oatmeal imo, but depending on the flavor you do it can "meld" more...and it's just nice to grab and go in the AM.

I did mine with blueberry, I'll let you know how it is.

Ok that makes sense. I've heard a lot of "they're so good!" but other than convenience I've never heard why. Now I want to try like apple cinnamon oats, tho, if they are melding better. hmmm...
I make an apple cinnamon one that's pretty good...I add craisins I love the tart bursts! My favorite is a pumpkin one, tastes like pumpkin pie...pumpkin purée, cinnamon, nutmeg (or pumpkin pie spice mix...trader joes has a great one) and I put it with almond milk yummmmmm.

I find my overnight oats have more flavor, but I may be imagining it.
Apparently there were a bunch of storms yesterday back home and the Triangle had endless tornado warnings. They always get it worse than my area, which is what I remind myself of when I envy their proximity to civilisation.

I feel like I am the only person that does not like overnight oats. I tried them a few years ago and was not impressed. Maybe I need to give them another shot. wannabmama 's pumpkin one sounds yummy.

I don't like them either. The texture is very off-putting.
Are you all eating these overnight oats cold? Or is there some heating involved?
I've done both...cold is sort of like muesli which I like but I know a lot of people don't like that consistency. The pumpkin one I do in the slow cooker overnight and eat warm usually (I've had it cold though too and it was good).

kayladawn91, did you use steel cut oats or regular? I've done steel cut in the crock pot (still not overnight, they were done in like 2 or 3 hours) and it is pretty good.

I believe I used steel cut. They just lacked flavor.
