Last night as I was prepping overnight oats for breakfast, I made two separate batches… one with bananas and one without.
Though Ryan and I both like bananas in our overnight oats, Ryan is really funny about the texture of bananas and adds a banana to his overnight oats in the morning to combat the “mush factor.”
I, on the other hand, like adding bananas to the mix the night before so the oats really take on the flavor of the fruit.
In the morning I simply stir the oats up and swipe some of Ryan’s fresh banana slices to garnish my bowl for even more banana flare.
(Can you see me in the spoon’s reflection in my hot pink bathrobe? It’s Where’s Waldo: PBF Edition.)
Today’s overnight oats included the following:
- 2/3 cup old fashioned oats
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1/3 cup milk
- 6 ounces plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 banana, sliced
Mmm!
Cell Phone Ring Tones
Earlier this week, I was out and about running a quick errand after dinner when my cell phone rang. I didn’t think anything of it until a man near me started cracking up.
“Mambo Number Five? Really?” he laughed.
Ah!
When I first got my phone last year, I set the ringtone to Mambo Number Five to mess with Ryan because he owns (not owned… owns) the Lou Bega CD and swears it is awesome which I find incredibly hilarious.
I never changed the ring tone and Mambo Number Five has blared in several embarrassing environments throughout the past year. (The only person who has a different ring tone on my phone is Ryan. His is set to the first dance song from our wedding.)
I’m sure I’ll change my ring tone eventually, but Mambo Number Five is a surprisingly catchy ring tone and very distinguishable from other cell phone ring tones in public!
I know I can’t be the only one out there with a random and slightly embarrassing ring tone…
Questions of the Morning
- What is your cell phone ring tone?
- What’s the best cell phone ring tone you’ve ever heard?
I remember Ryan’s cousin set his cell phone ring tone to the Laguna Beach theme song in college as a joke which cracked me up. Even now whenever I hear Hilary Duff sing “Let the raaaain fall down and wake my dreams…” I cannot help but laugh.

One, 2-3-4-5….best song! i actually never put my phone on ring…it’s always on vibrate! can’t stand ring tones!
My ringtone used to be 99 Problems when my boyfriend would call. He picked it out himself…just slightly awkward out in public!
My current ringtone is just something that came with the phone but with my old iPhone I used to create my own tones out of completely random songs. My favourite was Prince’s Song of the Heart from the Happy Feet soundtrack.
Ages ago I was at a work function and a colleague’s ringtone was a song from a relatively obscure musical called Tick Tick Boom. We immediately bonded over the fact that I recognised the song and musical that nobody else at the function had ever heard of.
I was riding the train the other day and a grown man’s phone started ringing “Teenage Dream” by Katy Perry. At first I was really creeped out by it – but then I thought that maybe his wife or someone else set that ring because his face turned bright red, he tried to grab his phone and ended up dropping it between the seat – so it rang that much longer! Ha! It was great.
I was having lunch (outside seating) when I heard “lean like a cholo” come on. Trying to be subtle, I glance over to my right to find a skinny little asian boy wearing a bright pink hollister shirt. I was confused and tried not to laugh as he tried to cover his face and proceed to NOT answer the phone. .my friends did a double-take and covered their faces as they turned away to laugh. His friends give him that “wtf” look, and I look over at the table on the othe other side of this kid and they are just cracking up (quietly, of course)..I wonder if he decided to keep that ringtone..who was he foolin’ by not answering it? Haha 🙂
haha that’s funny. Back in the day, I used to set my ring tone to all kinds of fun tones. Now, I just have the normal ring. But, for a while, when I was all “I heart NY,” my ringer was…”Empire State of Mind.” Couldn’t help myself 🙂
Hubby’s is ‘Angel’ by Jack Johnsom, which was our song at our wedding as well.
Everybody else has ‘Pumped Up Kicks’ by Foster The People. I feel a little creepy when my phone is playing a song about going on a shooting spree in public.
My husband set it. -.-
My Husband: “Quitter,” Carrie Underwood
My Mom: “Mama’s Song,” Carrie Underwood
My Dad: “Butterfly Kisses,” Bob Carlisle
My Nana: “Empire State of Mind,” Glee
Everyone Else: “Country Strong,” Gwenyth Paltrow
My husband’s is the Inspector Gadget theme song right now. It’s awesome! :0)
Haha Im so embarrassed to admit I love that mambo number 5 song! ;p
My ringtone for my boyfriend is the Glee version of lucky by jason mraz and colbie callait.
My ring tone… Kings of Leon “On Call”. My husband has the transformers sound. You know when the cars are changing in to the bots. He really is a big kid.
i have a generic one on my Verizon BrickTurd. its pretty high tech, what can i say.
When my fiance and I got engaged I set my ringtone to “goin to the chapel” (yes, I am a cornball, but I accept it :)) I was at a meeting, in a church, and my phone went off. awesome.
I was a junior in high school, sitting in US History class when my cell phone rang and the ring tone was ‘Grills’ by Nelly. 6+ years later and people still wont let me forget it.
I heard that song the other day and it made me laugh. They just don’t make songs like that anymore…probably for good reason. 🙂 My ringtone is “Dancing on the Ceiling” because I love Lionel Richie. It is definitely embarrassing when it rings in public though. Even if our ringtones are embarrassing, at least they are distinctive, right?
I’m currently using the default ringer on my iPhone, which is normally set on vibrate most of the time anyways. Before I got my iPhone, my phone would blare the sirens that go off when the Pittsburgh Penguins score a goal. I loved it, but a lot of people stared!
don’t really do the ring tone thing since i always have my phone on silent/vibrate at work and rarely remember to switch it back to volume after….
a few years ago to prank my mother, i changed her ringtone to Li’l Mama’s “Lipgloss” – PLEASE tell me someone remembers that song. There we were meeting with the director of a fancy country club to discuss my sister’s wedding, and my mom’s phone is all, “whatchu know bout me? whatchu whatchu know about me?” My mother clearly isn’t answering because she doesn’t realize it’s hers. Hy-sterical.
Such a fun ring tone! I keep my phone on silent most the time! I had a bad experience in college where it went off playing toxic when I was 18… My professor wasn’t happy. But I’ve graduated and not in school anymore, so I need I good one! Thanks for the idea!
Oh no- now I totally have Mambo # 5 stuck in my head! It’s the catchy kind of song that I will probably still be singing for the rest of the day. Aaaaah! Thanks a lot, Julie. 🙂
Mine is always on vibrate, which kind of sounds annoying sometimes haha. I just wanted to thank you for your fun posts! I love seeing your delicious breakfasts and your posts always make me smile! : )
Mine is the whistle song from Kill Bill. I probably seem like a psycho killer.
Do you know what Veggietales are? I have their song, “Pirates who don’t do anything” on my phone. Even if you don’t know who they are, it makes people giggle and I always smile. The only other different one is for my old work and boss. Because I hated that place so much, I needed to give it a little roughness, so the intro to Led Zepplin’s “Kashmir” it was. I still love the song, but it was a good fit.

My dad lovesss Lou Bega’s CD, especially the song Tricky, Tricky. I’m thinking about making it the song we dance to at my wedding next year. Something different and upbeat…he would love it!
I think that’s an awsome ring! I usually keep my cell on vibrate a. because I’m usually embarassed if it rings out loud, b. most of the time I’m in class and would easily forget to switch!
When I was in college I was really in to screamo music and set my ring tone for one of my fav songs…ppl around me didn’t really like being screamed at. I quickly changed it.
I think my current ring tone is pretty great, Skeletons by Eli Young Band!
“Jump Around”
Best $1.29 I’ve ever spent!
Hahaha! Love this! I was in my personal training certification class a few weeks ago and the lady next to me had “Love Shack” as her ring tone- which we got to listen to about 4 times throughout the class…. Um, yeah.
Matt just sent me a new ringtone for my phone the other night and I LOVEEEE IT!!!! It’s the “New Girl” show theme song and yes, I do go around the house now singing, “It’s Jess!!!”
ahaha. I’d probably call you out for a Mambo #5 ringtone in public, too.
my ring tone for my mom may or may not have been beethoven’s 5th when I first got a cell phone. “duh duh duh duuuhhhhh…”
however, now, my ringtone is matt nathanson’s “faster,” which I adore. 🙂
mine is nelly’s “gettin hot in herre (so take off all your clothes)”…slightly embarrassing when it went off at work the other day! A coworker looked at me and was like, seriously??
Haha! I love my boy nelly!!
haha Mambo #5 use to be the jam back in the day!
I just use one of the ringtones that came with my phone… I’m boring! 🙂
Honestly my ring tone is always on silent – I’m always afraid of my phone going off at work!
Mine was Everything by Michael Buble but I just got a new phone so I haven’t set It. My mom has different ring tones for all of us in the family. Mine is “these boots are made for walking” and the best is my dad’s which an ominous track from Star Wars.
The very first phone that I had that I could change the ring tone on I bought “Crazy Train” by Ozzy Osbourne.
My mother hated it because the ringtone was in the intro to the song and would scream when the phone rang 🙂
HAHA Mambo #5! A little bit of Monica by my side…so hilarious. I would be laughing for sure if I heard this in the store! I love ring tones and need to download a new one now that you reminded me! I have “Teenage Dream” on my phone but ever since I saw the Youtube video of the cute little guy doing the song, I just can’t listen to it the same way I used to haha. Have a good day! 🙂
Your overnight oats look good but I just can’t get behind them! Maybe I need to give them another try! And omg, Mambo #5– I totally forgot about that song!! How funny! I actually don’t currently have a cell phone ring actually- I keep my phone on silent which works because it’s pretty much always in my hand if I’m available! I have had various Journey songs in the past though that kept things entertaining- or I used to have that song playback when people called? It rotated songs and I thought it was so cool- until my employer left me a very angry message about how they did not want to listen to Just Dance… oops!
AHAHAHHA. He would die with mine. It’s the Jersey Shore theme song. Not kidding.
OMG I love that CD!!! hahaha I wish I knew where mine was… what a flash back! My current ringtone is ‘This is why I’m hot’ the REEEEMIX! lol BUT my favorite is the one I have set for my mom… when she calls me it sings ‘I got it from my mama!’
I love the ringtone I have for my husband. When I’m alone…but in public it’s quite awkward to hear “Yum, yum, yum, human hand” over and over again. Since people sooo don’t get the Foamy reference.
The very end of this video explains: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KyRCQp32p8
frozen sliced bananas in oatmeal is the best! something about the cold texture makes it taste sweeter 🙂
Mine is currently “Manamana” from the Muppets, just because I can. I can’t remember what my husband’s main one is (it was the Halloween movie theme song), but he has Stewie’s “Mom, mom, mom” as his ringtone for his mom.
Mine is Step by Step by New Kids on the Block. It always gets interesting looks in public.
My husband’s number is set to ring to “Take Me Home Tonight” by Eddie Money. It also flashes a horrifyingly bad picture of him.
That’s so funny that you have that ringtone. My boyfriend also still has that cd and still listens to it. Back in 2004, that cd was playing during our first kiss!!! Maybe it will be our wedding song, haha!!! =)
As for my ringtone, it is just some generic ring that was already on the phone.
omg! mambo #5! that’s classic!
i just have the generic ring tone…now i’m tempted to change it to something fun!
My ringtone right now is set to the theme song from the show ‘how i met your mother’, I used to have the theme song from ‘dexter’…apparently I like the theme song approach : )
you two crack me up, i love your music choices. i wish i had cool ring tones on my phone!! i would definitely choose a disney song.
MAMBO #5!!!!!! AHAHAH
Definitely used to have Chariots of Fire…… didn’t save me any embarrassment! Good thing I like funny. :0)
I’m not sure of the name of the song, but when my husbands calls, my phone sings, “Come on baby…kick those daisies” And them goes on to sing about daisy dukes. I love it…lol
My ringtone is the song/music they play in the movie, Halloween when Michael is about to kill someone(:
