I'm looking forward to breakfasting at Chookooloonk's (aka: Awesome Karen) house tomorrow morning. Catered by Quaker Oats (wow, water – bowl- oatmeal = easiest catering gig ever?? <grin>) to help fight child hunger in America.

Partially because I'll get to see some people I really like (see Jenny's blog post). Mostly because the Quaker Oatmeal guy will be there. Yeah.

Yeah.

So… yeah, I don't really get oatmeal connection either. But by jove, we will watch the inauguration in good company and with a belly full of much substance. More info on the nationwide event (found on MOMocrats):

…guests will breakfast on hot oatmeal with delicious
toppings (including BACON), all for a very worthy cause. Now
through February 28, you can visit Start with Substance
to enter the UPC (barcode) from any variety of Quaker hot cereal.

For
every UPC entered, Quaker will donate a bowl of nutritious oatmeal to Share Our Strength,
an organization dedicated to ending childhood hunger, up to 1 million
bowls of oatmeal. (You must be a member of Facebook in order to enter
UPCs.) But get this: even if you can’t be bothered to track down your
UPC and enter it, or you are not a fan of oatmeal, you can still help.
All you have to do is enter 030000013809 as a valid UPC.
