\"\"<\/a>Hello my little OHCers!\u00a0 How is your Monday going so far?<\/strong> Mine is going by way too fast!\u00a0 I have a ton of stuff to do and it seems like I might not have much time to get it done.\u00a0 Hopefully this week will not be as crazy busy as last week which will provide me with more time to get stuff done here.<\/p>\n

I’m up to my eyeballs in projects and I love it! It is also making me realize several things:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I need to be better organized.<\/li>\n
  2. I need to optimize my phone so it works for me and I’m using it to its fullest potential.<\/li>\n
  3. I need to work on my time management skills a little better.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    My organizational and time management skills are actually pretty good but they can be better and I need to make them better!\u00a0 But let’s talk about food shall we?<\/p>\n

    Yesterday was a glorious food day!\u00a0 A day where all I wanted to do was stuff my face and get my grub on.\u00a0 This may or may not have something to do with the fact that, to quote my friend Angela<\/a>, “That’s what happens when you run a thousand miles.” Ha! :p<\/p>\n

    To be honest, I love the kind of days were I can stuff my face.\u00a0 I am not afraid of food or eating.<\/strong> I love food<\/a>.\u00a0 More specifically, I love stuffing my face with real food that tastes fab and nourishes my body.<\/strong> Yesterday I did just that.<\/p>\n

    After my Thousander, I plopped down on the couch with my Bug (nickname for my netbook), Rocky, food, and my Zensha sleeves<\/a>.\u00a0 My food was some yogurt with homemade granola and chocolate chips.\u00a0 Not too many chips this time!\u00a0 Along with coffee on the side.\u00a0 I couldn’t hold out any longer and busted out some of my fall dishes.\u00a0 The coffee mug has a wee owl on the side of it and my yogurt bowl is in the shape of an owl.\u00a0 He has eyeballs and a beak too, but the food covers that up.\u00a0 The owl bowls I use all the time because they are just way too cute to only use during the fall months.\u00a0 Both these items I got at Homegoods for el cheapie!<\/p>\n

    It wasn’t long after eating this little recovery meal that I was hungry for some real food in the form of pancakes.\u00a0 Specifically pancakes the size of my two hands put together.\u00a0 I use to make small pancakes, now I want the real deal!\u00a0 Thankfully Scotty was up by this point so I could get moving on Sunday Breakfast.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a>Hello my babies!\u00a0 Regular buckwheat pancakes with some fall spices: cinnamon, allspice, and clove.\u00a0 Mmmm mmmm!<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a>Two chicken sausages on the side, some OJ, and cantaloupe in the middle.\u00a0 I buttered those johnnies up and dipped them in maple syrup.\u00a0 Fantastic!<\/p>\n

    When it’s just Scott and I, I fully geek out on food.\u00a0 I’ll take lots more pictures, make very loud “mmm mmm” sounds, and close my eyes.\u00a0 Sometimes I’ll do a little happy dance in my seat and clap my hands.\u00a0 Totally confessing to you all.<\/p>\n

    I told you, I like food.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Scott and I didn’t do much of anything yesterday but chill out.\u00a0 The week was rough in terms of being busy (as I’ve stated way too many times) and on Saturday we spent the whole day cleaning out our office trying to make it more functional and organized.\u00a0 Sunday we needed to just chill, so we did.\u00a0 We hung out and watched Triple D.<\/p>\n

    Um, then I was hungry again.\u00a0 I had to get started on dinner because there was no way I would be able to make it until later in the evening.\u00a0 On Sundays we usually eat dinner between 6:30 and 8pm.\u00a0 Not planned, that’s just how it works out.\u00a0 Yesterday?\u00a0 I was prepping dinner by 4pm.<\/p>\n

    Feed my bellah!<\/p>\n

    I’m totally in fall mode gang.\u00a0 I made a HUGE crockpot of lentil chili on Saturday and yesterday we had some roast chicken breast with root veggies.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a>Local bone-in chicken breasts (buy bone-in gang! Totally so much better!) that I brushed with some olive oil and then put a simple rub on:<\/p>\n
