Pina Colada Oatmeal

You know those mornings you wake up after a great sleep, only made better, by having a great dream.  Last night, I was living it up on a white sand beach, drinking a fruity-alcoholic beverage straight from a coconut, and listening to the sound of waves.  Oh ya, also, Adam Levine was there.  No big deal.  We were just vacationing together.

Snap back to reality.  No beach, no fruity drink, no waves, and the only thing of Adam Levine to be found, comes courtesy of my iPod playlist.

At least I have breakfast.  A tropical, beach inspired breakfast.  Aloha.
