happy tuesday!

so i finished (sorta) making my brothers wedding invites yesterday....i made enough to cover the addresses he gave me (~15). i'm actually pretty impressed with how they've turned out. i'll post a pic in a little bit...but they came out super cheap, and i didn't spend any time on them, really.

a friend of mine and her 1yo came over to spend some time with me yesterday and it was lotso fun. she's a vegetarian, and i made a meal that h liked enough to eat (although he said it tasted "too vegetable-y)..and i survived a meat-less day. crazy.

dentist today....eek!

have a great tuesday!

Re: happy tuesday!

  • Good morning. I'm at work, but so not wanting to be here today. My colleague is coming in late today, so I guess the feeling is mutual.

    Not much on the agenda today. I am going to that conference in Baltimore, so just finishing up all the travel documents related to that.

  • Happy Tuesday!

    Yesterday was a good day. I finally got back to counting calories and being accountable for the food I'm eating. I started back at the gym last week and it feels great to workout again. So I'm happy.

    Jenn- I think a few days a week I'm going to go meatless at dinner and see how it goes. I really want to try eggplant parm. Anyone had it? (i've never had eggplant...)

    It's super busy at work but all I want to do is nest and relax. Such is life.

  • Morning. I'm getting sick and I'm mad at DH because it's his fault. 

    We had dinner at Volterra last night and I had wild boar and it was amazing. I really wish I could go back and have it again today.

  • hi!  sort of a busy day, which is good because I've had a hard time getting things going all the time rather than in spurts.  Also H's rotation is in the same building as me, so we can take the bus together and/or eat lunch together now and then :)
  • Good morning!  It was super chilly, and I'm thinking it might be getting close to turning on the heat Smile  I filled out my voters ballot last night, and am mailing it out today.  I usually wait until the last day or two to vote, so I'm proud of myself this time.

    eggplant parm, made just like chicken parm is really good. smothered with sauce and cheese, you'd never know Wink

    eggplant doesn't have much of a taste to it..it's not good, it's not bad....just kinda there. at least IMO. whenever i get it in my farm box, i just slice it up and roast it like chips. h really likes that.

  • G'morning! Glad to hear the invitations are done. :) It's nice getting projects like that off one's plate!

     Dunno what's happening here today; probably just housework and some research on various baby topics, haha... :)

  • Morning! I've been crazy tired and my sleep schedule is wonky. I usually go to bed around 10 but lately I can't fall asleep until midnight. Yesterday I was cranky because I was the ONLY person in my department as everyone else was out sick and all I wanted was sleep. Got home and collapsed on the couch and we watched Bridesmaids (my intuition was correct, it wasn't good).

    I'm still tired and sleepy and just want to go back to bed right now. Luckily, my stuff to do at home now is deadline-less, so I plan on taking the week off (other than maybe a few dishes and laundry).

    I just made musaca (or moussaka) with mine!

    I'm so glad you like it! That's one of my all time favorite places in Seattle. 

     

    Sara- eggplant parm is delicious. I love it more than chicken parm now. You totally need to make it.

    We've been before - and loved it, but it kind of falls off our radar because it's so close to our house.  I'm spoiled with the food options in Ballard. If I ever move I will cry.

  • Good morning!

    I went to bed with a massive headache and woke up still having said massive headache. I think it's finally going away after several ibu's and multiple cups of coffee. Yesterday was one of those days that just flat out made my head/brain hurt, and I was here late to top things off.

    Tonight - spin class and a coffee date with a college girl I'm mentoring. A little more coffee and I should be good to go. Have a great day all!

  • Good morning!  I'm exhausted.  I think it's the weather and I really wish the Vitamin D would kick in!!  Actually looking forward to hot yoga tonight - it's getting cold! We got our fall pics from our photog which was fun, now I just need to decide what to order. 

    Anyhow, work is getting to be a bit busy, but I'm also taking a class on Friday so it will make it a shorter work week for me. 

    Hope everyone has a good Tuesday! Smile

  • Good morning! Pain medication/house bound is screwing with my schedule! I just woke up! I have not slept this late in awhile... Some family is going to come take me to lunch today and I am looking forward to it! I think I might try one of the restaurant week places. Other than that i am working in Christmas stuff

    Good morning! I love eggplant parm. Yum. But I like it sliced pretty thin b/c the texture of it kind of grosses me out. I think I would like anything breaded, fried, and smothered in melted cheese though. haha.

    My boss told me I can leave work early today since DH made plans in Seattle this evening. That's nice. Our dinner reservations aren't even until 7:30 so I could have taken the 5:30 ferry or the next later one but whateves. I'll leave work early if he insists.

    This!  Eggplant is actually one of a few veggies I tend to really dislike - I love hummus but cannot stand baba ganoush nor can I tolerate eggplant parm.  Although I must say, I do like it moussaka.

    Yea! Have a fun dinner and "dessert" (insert wink here)

  • I definitely couldn't handle meatless dinners. But for me, that would be just veggies, lol.

    Looks like I do have bronchitis, so I'm home from work again today. At least I get to spend lots of quality time snuggling on the couch with the pup.  

  • Good evening! I just got home from work, was a long day. Now I'm going to watch some Fraiser and then go to bed.

    DH still has a cold and was snoring so much last night that I ended up sleeping on the couch. He brought me some cupcakes today at work. Big Smile

    Have a good night!
