Eggnog Oatmeal

Oatmeal is one of the least attractive things to take pictures of.  It's hard to make a big bowl of oatmeal look tantalizing and seductive.  It's too mushy and monotone.  

Despite the fact it will never make the cover of Better Homes and Gardens, it is one of my favorite breakfasts.  My favorite way to eat oatmeal is with heaping spoons of brown sugar and slices of banana.

Phew! What a day! I didn't work today.  Instead, I did hours and hours of Christmas shopping at a ginormous mall.  I didn't have many gifts to buy, but I'm indecisive.  

I had no idea what I was going to get my mother.  I found two gifts for her that I'm really proud of.  I thought I would find her a random and colorful kitchen gadget, but the gifts I found are more thoughtful.
