Ta Da

Yep. Remember my picture of the messy office way back when? And the same messier office just the other day?

I’m sure there’s more pictures on the blog somewhere, but you don’t need to see those, right?

Friends, today I think I’m ready for company.

Yay!

Just don’t look in the closet. (I hope my house guests don’t have to hang up any clothes.)

Or the scary green room.

Or ask me when I’m ordering my Christmas cards.

Or ask when I’m mailing out your long overdue thank you packets with goodies from SunButter and Flatout from our half marathon for Amelia.

I might just cry a little.

For now though, I’m feel like I made a little bit of progress and am excited to spend time with my relatives.

Thumbs up.

(Ha ha! That calendar in the background is still on November. Go me.)

I have just a couple minutes to put my feet up and get this post done before I’m off to teach a couple classes.

I know exactly what you’re thinking. I think they’re the coolest holiday slippers I’ve ever seen too.

I’ve also managed to get a couple of decorations out (which was not easy with almost two year old twins “helping”). We’ll see how long they last.

No tree is complete without a sock monkey and Muppets.

I’m really not sure why I keep hanging this guy up every year. He does make me laugh though.

I’ve been eating some weird, but delicious things lately too.

Want to see?

Sure you do.

Yesterday my green eggs and oats were topped with cinnamon and Splenda roasted butternut squash. I just roasted little cubes that had been sprayed with cooking spray and sprinkled with cinnamon and Splenda (similar to cinnamon crisps, but they take longer) at 400 for about 20 minutes.

I topped it with sugar free syrup and a tablespoon of SunButter. My friend Sarena gave me the idea when she posted overnight oats with butternut squash and white chocolate peanut butter. Yeah, she’s pretty cool.

Last night I had some roasted broccoli (prepared exactly like roasted cauliflower) and chicken breast topped with marinara and a little goat cheese with a cheese sandwich (with a Laughing Cow garlic and herb wedge and a light string cheese) on the side.

It was good. Not good that I ate it at 10:00 pm though.

Today’s green eggs and oats (yes, I realize I have a problem and yes, I am almost out of Coach’s Oats) had some added chia seeds thanks to a package I received recently from GNC. I just added them to the oats while they were cooking before I added the egg whites. It made my oat bowl even more ginormous than usual.

Oh man, they were good, especially when I topped them with fresh blueberries.

(There’s still some sugar free syrup and SunButter in there. Those are a given.)

Okay, I’m calling it a long weekend.

I’m following doctor’s orders.

I’m devoting my attention to fun family bonding time and living in the moment.

I think there might be some singing involved. We’re getting a little better at our song.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Flat Kitty Friday will be back next week!

Oh….. one more thing….

THANK YOU to all of you who voted for me to be the next Love Grown Foods blogger. We are in friends! Yeah!!!!!!! Thanks for making that happen! I’m so honored and excited and can’t wait to share the LOVE with you all.

YOU ARE THE BEST!
