Hi gang!\u00a0 Last night Scott and I hung out on the couch watching the game and snacking.<\/p>\n

\"PB<\/a>\"Red<\/a><\/p>\n

Red wine and then I had three PB<\/abbr> cookies! :O\u00a0 Love them!\u00a0 They are cookies I made a few weeks ago and leftovers had been stashed in the freezer.\u00a0 Perfect for pulling out when a bedtime snack is in order.\u00a0 The Pens played the Flyers Thursday night and I have to say, Flyers fans are such buttheads.\u00a0 They spend all their energy yelling “Crosby Sucks” (Crosby is the Pens captain) instead of just cheering on their team.\u00a0 Just an FYI, yelling “Crosby Sucks” tends to be less effective when your team just put the puck in their own net.\u00a0 Perhaps you should rethink your strategy.<\/p>\n

I headed up to bed at 11pm and promptly passed out.\u00a0 I didn’t think we would be going to MT<\/abbr> this morning, since Scott while better is just shy of being 100% so I had visions of a light run this AM.\u00a0 However I slept until 8am and while still technically “early” it’s late for me to go on a run.\u00a0 I just kicked it in my office and finally got caught up on a lot of emails that needed to go out.<\/p>\n

\"Coffee<\/p>\n

I spent a little over two hours responding to emails, I kid you not. :D\u00a0 I had a bunch of people to get back to or in touch with!\u00a0 And I hate writing chumpy emails that only say a few things like, “Oh hey thanks!”\u00a0 I at least want to have a conversation with someone.<\/p>\n

Going on 10:30, I got Scott up for the day and made some breakfast.<\/p>\n

\"Oats<\/a><\/p>\n

Fall Festival oats!\u00a0 Basic oats with a little pumpkin added in and a huge apple tossed in at the end to get warm but not cooked.\u00a0 Divine!\u00a0 I am seriously loving the apples added to oats and oatbran.\u00a0 I also added in a bit of Brewer’s yeast to the oats.\u00a0 Couldn’t taste it at all so it might become a new addition to the breakfast routine.<\/p>\n

Here’s a link about Brewer’s yeast<\/a>.\u00a0 It has all this great stuff but I did just read that it’s actually a fungus found on beets and another plant, and that those allergic to mold and penicillin should be cautious.\u00a0 I’m allergic to penicillin so I’ll keep an eye out if I have any side effects.<\/p>\n

I’ve actually been purchasing brewer’s yeast for years as a supplement for Rocky.\u00a0 He’s gets all the same benefits from it as humans, plus it helps keep fleas and buggies away because they don’t like it.\u00a0 Although in general fleas are not attracted to healthy animals (cats and dogs) and a healthy animal starts with a healthy diet. :D \/soapbox<\/p>\n

After breakfast it was a little more office work.\u00a0 Scott was helping me get a Twitter client to work on my desktop.\u00a0 Since my desktop is a Linux machine, I don’t have access to a lot of the more popular Twitter clients.\u00a0 And while Linux has some available, not all of them have everything I need.\u00a0 And to further compound the issue, since my machine is new (Scott built it), my new processor doesn’t support Adobe Air, therefore things like TweetDeck and Twhirl are out.\u00a0 I know, totally boring tech talk but it’s part of my day so nayah!<\/p>\n

Then we broke to take Rocky for a walk and it was gorgeous outside!\u00a0 Cool and sunny, beautiful!\u00a0 After that it was time for some lunch.<\/p>\n

\"Salad<\/a><\/p>\n

Simple salad:<\/p>\n
