Simple.Sweet.Strawberry

My morning thought process: mmm good morning. can I please sleep for another thirty minutes. wait do I work today. nope. ahhh okay. (deep breath) well then we must accomplish fun today. I don't know what kind of fun but yes fun it must be. today hmm what to wear. could I get away with sweats all day long. ew no sweats does not equal fun. hmmm breakfast in bed sounds fun. no not fun enough. ice cream for breakfast. now that sounds like a perfectly fun way to start the day. (the roll over, feet on the ground, arms stretching up) oh crap I have to go... well most of you can guess what comes next. 

Needless to say my brain does not work like the rest of the world. It is not happy or calm until it is fixated on something sweet or sparkly. I stumbled upon a pin, yes on the almighty Pinterest. This pin was of "strawberry oreos." Better yet it was not a "slave your day away in the kitchen" recipe. Sadly enough I have it memorized already I didn't have to keep checking the directions. The little things in life I am proud of myself for!
