Oh, Baby!

“There’s a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning”…according to Jimmy Buffett anyways! However, this has been a quiet Saturday night for me. Eh, I’m trying to be good and lay off the booze for a while for my diets sake. Did I make that sound like I’m a frequent drinker? No comment.

Today was pretty mellow. Matt woke up with a horrible headache, so I just pretty much lounged around. I watched Hairspray, which I thought was good at the beginning, but toward the end I just got annoyed with it.

I also took down most of the Christmas decorations around the house. They haven’t made it in their storage containers yet, just hanging out on the floor in the living room! Oh, next year please remind me to buy CHEAP Christmas lights for the tree. That way I don’t have to take them off! It was just too frustrating!! At the end I gave up unwrapping them neatly and just pulled them down the tree creating a huge mess of pine needles everywhere. Anyways, Matt got the tree outside and in the trash can, so at least that is out of the house. We had hoped to take the lights off the house, but it’s been raining all day. That probably won’t get done until next weekend. Tomorrow’s goal is to get the decorations put in their containers and put in the garage.

Tonight we went to Chili’s for dinner. I was good and stuck with the Guiltless Salmon, which is one of my favs. It’s only 10 points on WW and you get a good sized piece of salmon, black beans and steamed broccoli. Yummy. While we were waiting for our table we saw a guy come in wearing really short corduroy Op shorts. Way to bring back the 80’s, dude! Plus it was, like, 55 degrees out! I though it was funny…you probably had to be there.

Hold on to your britches folks, I got the new Victoria’s Secret Swim catalog today. Sooo exciting…not! I don’t even know why I get the catalog. When was the last time I fit into VS?! I just decided that if I ever WHEN I fit into a VS bikini, we’ll put a pool in the backyard. (Start saving your dough Matt!) And I did 25 minutes on the treadmill tonight while I used my hand weights, so I’m on my way.

I think all the veggies I’ve been eating have finally caught up with me. (Another head of cauliflower at lunch and broccoli at dinner) Otherwise, there must be a smelly frog in the room! TMI??

Finally, I am signing off to watch some Supercross with the man of the house. MMM, sexy motorcycle riders, the only thing that would make it better is a vodka cranberry…

TGIF!

Today has been somewhat of a lazy one. I woke up late again! I’m out of NyQuil now, so I’m hoping not to sleep in so much tomorrow! Anyways, tried the WW blueberry muffin this morning and it was OK. Of course not the yummy fat-filled kind, but still good. I then wrote 5 reports…5!!! I’m the bomb!

For lunch today I experimented a little. I love fried zucchini and squash. Well, I had some yellow squash in the fridge and decided to bake it. I sliced it into thin rings sprayed it with some cooking spray, then tossed it in some corn flake crumbs. Baked it on 400 for about 35 minutes. It came out pretty good! And only 1 point because of the corn flake crumbs. It made a nice side dish to my tuna salad sandwich! If anyone else out there has any other vegetable suggestions, I’m open!

Then I spent the afternoon curled up on the couch chatting with friends and watching TV. But when the time came, I made Matt dinner. I made shrimp tacos. It’s always nice when Matt likes what I cook. He came home and saw the shrimp in the sink and gasped, “shrimp tacos!!”. Yes, I know how to make my man happy…occasionally!

Plans for the weekend:
Take down the Christmas decorations
Tidy up the house
Vacuum & Mop

Now I’m off to watch Pulp Fiction with the man of the house. Have a good weekend and stay warm!! (It’s cold and rainy here!)

I'm sleeeepyyy

Not too much to report today. I went to Target and Walmart to return some things. My mom gave me a Walmart gift card for my birthday, so I wondered around there for a while. I bought some WW blueberry muffins that I'm hoping are good. Sometimes that stuff can be dry. I didn't know Walmart sold other gift cards as well, so I got a Chili's gift card too! Then I meandered around Target and got a couple of Christmas items on clearance. And that's all I did. I tried really hard to work today, but I wasn't too productive. Tomorrow I'm going to have to lock myself up in the office and crank out some reports. If I just sit and concentrate it shouldn't take too long. Then I can get the bill sent out and earn some sort of a living.

Oh, tonight I made roasted broccoli. I was just ok. I think I'm going to stick to the roasted cauliflower for now!

Well, I'm off surf the web...

Warning: Boring

The last few days have been pretty nice. Yesterday I actually got up and made myself breakfast, which isn’t something I get to do when I’m working. I had a couple of pieces of bacon and an egg. Oh and I’ve rediscovered my love of coffee. Well, I have always loved coffee, I just don’t make it at home too often…I’m a Starbucks snob. But since I’m working from home I don’t want to start making a habit of driving to Starbucks every day. I do have to say I bought some pumpkin spice creamer and it was pretty darn tasty!!

Lets see…what have I done this week…I had an inspection on Tuesday and then I had 2 more today. Oh and yesterday I wrote 4 reports. Not too shabby. And I’ve sent my resume off to several companies.

Thanks to anyone reading this boring blog!
