Do A Double Take

By 53 Comments

Good morning, friends! I’m coming to you all this morning from my cozy little corner in Starbucks.

My schedule at the gym has changed up a bit (no more late Tuesdays!) and I have some time to kill this morning before my next scheduled appointment, so I figured I’d just set up shop here instead of driving all the way back home.

I planned ahead on this one, so last night I packed up my old laptop (which is running slower than molasses, btw) and put together a batch of overnight oats in a jar to bring with me…you know, because I love eating peanut butter out of a jar in public and making people do a double take.

It was the same batch as usual, along with a grande 1 pump vanilla blonde roast coffee.

So I don’t know what is in the air today, but my allergies are having a flippin’ field day. Anyone else having as much fun with theirs as I am? My nose has had the non-stop tickle for the past hour and I’ve got a nice little headache placed right above the ‘ol eyeballs. Ughh. I think I’m just in a funk this morning.

I’ve been dealing with some stuff lately (hey, aren’t we all?) and some days I feel like it takes its toll on me more than others. So far, today is one of those days.

BUT, the more you dwell on something the worse it becomes, right? So here’s to working on turning this day around! I do have plans for a hair cut (and maybe color) with mom later today, so that’s exciting. Oh yeah…then there’s that tiny little fact that I’m going to be on TV tomorrow morning. I suppose that’s pretty exciting too…

Actually, way more like nerve-racking.

  2. Hope your day gets better, Courtney!! You reminded me that I didn't have coffee this morning. I changed up my routine since I am on summer break..but it just totally didn't make the schedule this AM. I am sure I will feel it later. Looks like I'll be making a stop at Dunkin!

  4. For some reason, my allergies have not bothered me this year as much. Thank goodness! Have fun getting your hair did :) That's what I'll be doing this morning! These roots have got to go.

  6. Allergies can definitely be tough to deal with. I never had to worry about them before, until I got a job a couple years ago working outside. Now because I'm breathing in all the pollen and stuff I definitely get allergies. Hope you're feeling better soon!

  7. I've been reading your blog for a while, and I don't think I've ever commented! Figured I'd do so today, and say that I hope whatever you're going through works out! You portray such an upbeat attitude, and a great spirit :) Sending positive thoughts to you!

    • Haha, Julie, your comments are always so upbeat and happy! I look forward to reading them everyday :)

  14. Sending you good vibes to feel better :) That is too funny, I could just imagine people staring at you thinking you are eating straight up PB. haha. If only they knew they goodness they were missing out on!

  17. I don't know what it is, but my allergies have been insane off and on for the past week or so. I'm guessing it's from it being super dry here in Denver right now + the fires up north...who knows. Anyway, you'll do great on tv tomorrow! The imagining people in underwear thing doesn't work for me since it makes me smirk, but maybe it'll work for you :P

  18. We have had an abnomal amount of rain for SE Texas this summer and my allergies don't like it either! Sneezing like crazy over here! {Though I do love the storms} Hopefully your sinuses clear up soon, I know its annoying!

  19. I can't believe you're going to be on TV!! That is so exciting! I'm sure you will be fabulous. I'm down in FL right now so my allergies aren't that bad, but just a few days ago when I was home in OH, they were flaring up like crazy! Ugh, so annoying haha. Hope you have a lovely day pretty girl! Can't wait to see how you get your hair done :)

  20. Hope you feel better soon! I'm trying to avoid dwelling on things too. Doesn't help that I'm sick right now so I can't even work out :( I laughed out loud at the thought of Starbucks patrons staring at you and your peanut butter jar! Good luck tomorrow!!

  21. I love that you eat your oats in a jar in public haha I can only imagine the looks people must give you when they see such a fit girl eating "peanut butter" with a spoon! Hope that getting your hair done today turns your day around... nothing like a little pampering to make a girl feel good :) And TV...? Sounds exciting!

  25. sorry to hear you've been having a rough time. Hope whatever it is that's bothering you get sbetter soon. My allergies have been horrendous this year and I've been putting off going to the doctor but I finally made an appointement after I had to cancel an afternoon with friends!

  26. I love the humor of overnight oats in a jar. I was once late for class in the morning so I took my breakfast with me and the professor stopped the lecture to ask me if I was eating peanut butter during class. Too funny :] You are gonna rock that TV performance!

    • Haha, I don't know if it's much of a "performance," but let's just hope I don't stumble all over my words ;)

  27. I can only imagine what some people are thinking when they see you eating spoonful after spoonful out of a peanut butter jar, lol!! Have a nice time on your mom date this afternoon! That is always fun!! TV appearance?! Can't wait to hear more!!

  28. Ohhhhh TV...... that is awesome! Congratulations and good luck! Can't wait to see it. Also doing odd things in public is natural for me at this point I love making people do a double take.

  32. I read an article this morning about turning a bad day around, so when I read your post I felt I needed to share it! http://www.inc.com/geoffrey-james/positive-thinking-7-easy-ways-to-improve-a-bad-day.html Hope your day improves!

  36. Feel better pretty lady! Sometimes we all have those not so fun days. Its just inevitable. You've got me craving another coffee!
    Reply

  37. I totally get the "funky" days; I've had more than my fair share lately. They're definitely downers and not welcome. I always like to remind myself when I'm just having one of those days that tomorrow is a brand new day and therefore I'll be able to start anew. Here's to hoping your day turns around!

  38. TV? Tomorrow? What time? I don't have school so if it's early, I can watch! Yipee! :) Sorry- I get carried away with these kind of things. How exciting, and I'm sure you'll be great.

    • Thanks, girl! Hope today was better for YOU. We need to chat soon! Let me know when you're around!! :)

  40. Hi Courtney! If your allergies really bother you, there's an herbal supplement you can take called Perimine. My brother gets really bad seasonal allergies but it works very well for him!

  42. i absolutely love your attitude Courtney! it's great that you can take a crummy day and be determined to turn it around instead of allow it to become crummier! i've been working on having such a mindset because, really, everything whether it be bad or good, will pass. nothing is really FOREVER, ya know? and, just like you said yourself, the more you dwell on something the more its intensity will increase! anyways, that's enough of my lil pep talk, haha. i hope you feel better girl and that's so exciting that you're going to be on TV! :)

  • The perfect end to a great birthday with my favorite people.🤗🎉💙
  • Man, time flies! 10 years ago today, we said “I do” and partied our faces off all night long. A whole lot has changed over the past decade, but one thing remains the same...you are still one lucky man @jhoran1314 😜 . Thank you for always putting up with my crap, for being an amazing dad to our boys, and helping me be the best version of me. These past 10 years have been awesome, and fun, and hard, and so rewarding...but we’re just getting started. 😉 Love you more than you’ll ever know 😘 . #10thweddinganniversary #anniversary #highschoolsweethearts #weddinganniversary #bestisyettocome
  • Merry Christmas from The Horan Fam! 🎄🎅🏻😍✨
  • In an effort to help teach the boys that Christmas is about so much more than just what’s under the tree, we set out this morning to spread some kindness and holiday cheer 🎅🏻💕 . We made stops at both Brinley’s Bags and @rmhc_albany, met some wonderful and caring people, and donated some items from each of their wish lists. . While I’d love to say the boys really got it, they were still fairly impartial to the whole thing. But I can absolutely say that I think we’ve found a new Christmas Eve tradition, and I can only hope that, with time, they’ll be as excited about it as I am 🤗 #MOK19 #spreadcheer #spreadkindness #christmaseve #brinleysbags #rmhc #seasonofgiving

Just a GOOD sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich! And it keeps me full for hours! ***GIVEAWAY ALERT!*** Want to try one for yourself?
