Once upon a time, there was a girl who tried to write her blog post. She was about 2 minutes away from publishing it on her blog…AND THEN (dun dun dun) her laptop CRASHED!
Can you guess what happened?
She slammed her laptop lid and didn’t touch it for a whole day.
The end.
So that is why I have not blogged this week. My patience with technology can only last so long.
Anyone else have problems like this?
And my laptop is running out of storage space…and I really don’t want to delete anything. So…I need a new laptop, something awful.
Suggestions? (Anything but Apple, I’m a Windows girl for life)
I’m just going to start over today, fresh and new. Shall we?

This morning I wanted to eat egg whites and oats but I didn’t want to eat them separate. So I combined them! A lot of people do this, so I thought, “Why not?”
Protein Eggy Oats
Ingredients:
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup oats
- 1/2 cup liquid egg whites or 4 egg whites
- A few shakes of cinnamon
- A dash of vanilla extract
- 1 or more tsp of Stevia/Truvia/Sweetener of choice
Directions:
- Put the water in a sauce pan and turn it on high heat. When it starts to boil, turn it to medium heat. Then add the 1/2 cup oats. Stir for about 2 minutes. Oats will fluff up a little bit.
- Add the egg whites
- For 3-4 minutes, stir the oats and egg whites in a figure 8 motion because you don’t want the egg whites clumping together.
- Finally, add the cinnamon, vanilla, and sweetener of choice.
- Top with nutbutters, fruit, nuts, granola, or whatever you’d like!
- This breakfast is filled with protein! Enjoy!
I hope you like this recipe and I hope to be back to blogging everyday! Crossing my fingers 
XOXO Audrey
Questions:
- Fellow bloggers, how do blog everyday? Are you on a schedule? How do you keep it together? What happens if your blog post is erased due to a computer malfunction?
- Should I pick a certain time everyday to post?
- HAVE YOU tried eggy oats before? –They are soooooooo good
When I first started blogging I didn’t know how to use WordPress and I kept losing posts. So frustrating! I usually post at night, just because it’s more convenient for me.
Same here…its really the only time for me to post, but I would love to post in the morning so people have all day to read it. Maybe if I write the post the night before…hmm, an idea.
I type up my posts with Windows Live Writer! It’s free and makes it sooooo much easier. I usually publish posts at the same time just to make it consistent but I’m not chained to that schedule. I blog during my down time! Which is sometimes first thing in the morning, sometimes at midnight 😉 my dad is a photographer and he has external hard drives to hold all his pictures and data, so maybe that could work for you?
I also type up my posts with windows live writer. Usually it will automatically save my post but it didn’t this last time. Really weird. hmm…can you buy these external hard drives at Target or Best Buy?
Yeah I think so! Check out their websites to know for sure.
Okay cool, thank you
Honestly, I just blog when I feel like it. Sometimes I’ll blog twice a day, other times, I’ll skip 2 days in between. I don’t want to post anything unless it’s worth posting, you know? Also, I’m a big time morning post-er. I wake up super early in the mornings (not sure why, but I do), so I’m done blogging by about 7am.
Yeah, I’m the same way…if it’s nothing worthy, I usually don’t post it. I would love to have the extra time to write up posts in the morning
Ugg. Don’t you hate it when that happens?! It’s happened to me three times I think now. And the next three/four times I post afterwards I end up pressing ‘Save’ every minute until I publish my post. And then I get bored of doing that so think it will all be OK – my computer won’t crash on me and BAM! It does it again!
Exactly! It’s horrible and unmotivates me to write my post again
I get what you mean. I have a hard time posting consistently with my crazy schedule. Most of my posting occurs at night when I finally finish my homework. Oh and those eggy oats look sooo good 🙂
