remember my new oatmeal bowl from ikea? well, i broke it this morning. i was excited because i was going to try microwaving oats instead of cooking them stovetop. i thought that maybe the bowl would be big enough to avoid the boiling over that usually happens in the microwave. but now i'll never know. it just jumped out of my hands. and it broke on the countertop... not even the floor. it must have been crappily made, because things normally don't break on the countertop.
everything is breaking for me lately. my phone is broken... it's been sent out for repairs and i have a weird replacement phone. last night my cat knocked over a glass on my bedside table and it shattered (on the laminate wood floor... also weird) and today the bowl. everything is destructing!!!! ahhhhh!!!!
anyway, my weekend was pretty good. i pigged out at the girl's sleepover on friday night, but did 20 minutes on the elliptical on saturday AND went swimming so i'm hoping i canceled out some of the bad. the rest of the weekend was kind of lame. except last night i had dinner with my parents and my mom made the best fresh pasta - spinach and cheese stuffed ravioli with roasted red peppers and mushrooms, and meatballs. and then we made brownies after dinner. wa wa wee wa.
today i am at home organizing my life. i applied for some jobs, and i have to organize some paperwork for a meeting i have at the unemployment office tomorrow. fun times... oh boy!
this morning i went swimming... it felt really good. i might walk to the library later and get another book on CD if i have time. i just love listening to them in the car. it's very relaxing!

Oh no!!! Sorry to hear you broke your bowl!!!! That is strange that it would break on the countertop!!!
(sounds like you have had your share of strange occurances lately!!)
Your pasta sounds SOOOOOO good...that reminds me to use my pasta machine again!!!
oh that is so crappy and yucky!!
That pasta sound total delish!
That sucks that you never even go to try it out in the microwave! I can sympathize... I have a favourite oatmeal bowl, I would be so sad if it broke.
Aw man, your poor bowl. Boooooooooooo!
things usually happen in 3's so hopefully that is your only 3. :)
That really sucks about the bowl :(
aw boo :( that sucks bad. Good luck with getting organized!!
that just bites! I was just looking at different bowls at Pier One this past weekend and thought of you :0)
oh, I just got the PB2 in today :0)
That's the pits. What a nice bowl it was!
I make my oatmeal in the microwave and I use a 2 cup pyrex measuring cup. I don't know how much oatmeal you make but I made 1/3 cup oats to 2/3 cup water and it never boils over.
