flamingos?

Being the resident snoop around here, I'm easily able to recognize strange cars driving around. So today while huffing and puffing away on the treadmill, I saw a curious car pull up across the street. No biggie, of course. But then the couple driving the car got out, opened their trunk, and preceded to pull out a bunch of pink flamingos. Slightly strange, right? They then set them up haphazardly in my neighbors' lawn and drove off in a hurry. I wish I could have been there when the neighbors came home. Unless this is some sort of contracted service that I'm in the dark about, this might just be another entry in the New Bed strange phenomenon collection. But I will admit that the flamingos do look sort of cute, in a kitschy sort of way. 

In other not so quirky news, I've rekindled my love affair with oatmeal! I came across this homage to oatmeal that included an awesome recipe for good old fashioned oats with whipped banana. My mouth was salivating so I skipped over to the kitchen and put everything together. Pretty sure I actually skipped because I was so excited. The final texture was a tad too goopy for me, since I like my oatmeal really milky/liquidy. So second time around, I think I'll cook the oats a little less and add more milk. I topped the whole thing off with shredded coconut (which looks a lot like cheese in this pic, but is not!), a splash of coconut milk, and half of a Kashi peanut granola bar. I'm trying to wean myself off my copious sugar intake levels and this recipe was just the perfect amount of sweet. Definitely will be making this again! Yum!
