What's New Tuesday
Good Morning OFF Family,
It is Tuesday and here I sit awake again. The holidays have really been a schedule buster for me. We really enjoyed being with our Grandchildren over Christmas in Virginia Beach. It just brings home how much I miss seeing them more often. They are growing up so fast!
Mom is still not feeling her best and I am still concerned about her. It seems that we get one problem fixed and here comes another. She hates to complain and sometimes waits too long. I cannot seem to get through to her that if she will call me early it won't be a difficult to get her on the road to recovery.
Having said that I think that my eating is not as controled as I would like. I know that I tend to graze when I am stressed so I try to stay on my toes. I did not do as well as I would have liked over the holidays so now I have to relose a couple of pounds. Oh well that the way it goes sometimes.
I hope everyone here had a great Christmas and will celebrate New Years responsiblely and have a wonderful time.
That is about all I can think to share right now. Have a great Tuesday.
Hugs

Good morning Vera and fellow OFFers!
Less than two hours of work to go.
Yesterday slept for about 4 1/2 hours. Got up and Mary and I went to the gym. Then I picked up my grandson and went to the Stars game. They lost, but I got to spend a night out with my grandson, so I won.
It's that time of the year. I have to start figuring out which players to keep in my fantasy baseball leagues. (A man has to have his priorities)
Today I hope I can sleep unti 1:45 or later. Gotta leave the house by 2:30 today. Have a coupon for Hooters boneless wings that expires tomorrow. I would hate to lose it.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
Work this morning then an old friend is coming to visit. We will probably tal****il we lose our voices. 
We have a clock on the living room wall. There is absolutely NOTHING near the clock. Tom was yelling for me to COME LOOK!!! Annie
managed to take a flying leap to perch on the clock. The furmonster has wings.
Does anybody use a Magic Bullet? My daughter gave me one but I haven't a clue what to do with it. I do not drink protein shakes any longer. Any suggestions?
kisses
Annette
PS - oh yuckies!!!
Annie just presented me with a dead mole. Right on my lap. She was very proud of herself.

Morning all....
Annette, you can make fruit smoothies, omlettes, and all sorts of things.....did a little booklet come with it?? There should be suggestions in the booklet. I use my blender mostly, as I hate dragging out my big food processor. Have you tried the cottage cheese pancakes, I just love them and 32 gm. of protein.
1/2 cup cottage cheese (I use ff) 1 pkg instant wt. control oatmeal (any flavor) and 2 eggs or 1/2 cup egg beaters....blend well and cook on a griddle or skillet sprayed with cooking spray. YUMMO.
I'm off to work again today....hope to get all my hours in today...and hopefully have some work...
The toe is doing pretty good, altho' it looks really gruesome w/o the nail.....they told me to wa**** good with antibacterial soap and put some bactroban or neosporin on it and a bandaid, that was fun! I put a couple 2 X 2 gauze pads on it, so it would be padded.
The DIL said they saw "Marley and Me" Sunday nite and the whole theatre was sobbing at the end.....I don't know if I can take that? I read the book so I know how it ends!
No snow here except some dirty piles that haven't melted...and it's in the low 20's this morning.
Going to finish my decaf cuppa and have some w/c instant banana bread oatmeal.
Have a blessed day,
Hugs,
Pat R.

Done! Your Ticker:
I don't use mine as much as I should. However, I do love taking oats and making oat flour. I also in a a pinch threw croutons in to make bread crumbs for a recipe. So quick and easy. I've been replacing wheat flour recipes in cookies with 1/2 oat flour. It's really good. How about fruit smoothies, Annette?
