Happy Thursday IN's!
Good Morning!! :-) How is everyone today? What's on the agenda for the day?
QOTD: What was for dinner last night? How about dinner tonight? :-)
Re: Happy Thursday IN's!
Morning! Thanks to the Eid holiday Sun- Tues, it's a 2 day workweek! And work is quiet since most people took the whole week off, so I hope to get lots done today :-P
No plans for tonight, we'll probably just relax at home and take it easy!
QOTD: Last night I made a yummy cheesy enchilada casserole! I found it on Pinterest, and it was awesome! Tonight, we'll probably do Turkish (takeaway) from our favorite local place. Can't wait!

Same with the 2 day workweek here: we got Monday - Wednesday off, so today is my first day of work this week. Hopefully tomorrow will be my last. Things are getting hectic with a case I'm on, so it's uncertain.
QOTD: last night was chicken and quinoa left overs, today... not sure.
Good morning ladies!!
I have school, gym and going to IKEA tonight. Tomorrow's no school and I can't wait to sleep in!
QOTD: Last night we had butternut squash risotto (from www.skinnytaste.com), roasted brussel sprouts and salad. It was amazing. Tonight we're going to have homemade pizza...either four cheese (with parmesan, bleu, ricotta and gruy?re) or pear and blue cheese.
Afternoon!
Otto has just gone down for a nap, yay for my own time!
QOTD:
Spaghetti last night, I made a ton so that I can make some lasagna on the weekend. I just pulled a whole chicken out of the freezer for tonight but that is as far as I have got so far!
Um, yum. Can you please ship leftovers? I can just throw a steak on the side for DH ;-)
Today we've got play group in the afternoon, but otherwise nothing going on. I'm optimistically hoping to get some work done while DD naps, but we'll see if that happens.
QOTD: Lunch is the big meal here, so I'll answer that: Yesterday I had leftovers of homemade broccoli cheese soup and a schnitzel. Today I'm either having stir-fry leftovers or making some delicious Greek pasta (artichokes, feta, tomatoes, chicken, and garlic yumminess).
Sure..Germany isn't so far from Switzerland, right?
not much going on today. I'm trying to do the 30 day shred and I was sick yesterday so i didn't do it, so I'll probably do that today, clean up the house, catch up on TV, blah blah blah.
QOTD: Last night we went out to Tony Roma's and I just had soup and salad. Tonight will either be chicken chili or chicken tacos, depends how I'm feeling

Good morning. I got to bed at a much better time last night, so I feel a bit more rested than yesterday. Still looking forward to sleeping in this weekend though. Busy day at work, but leaving a bit early to head over to watch the live Graham Norton show. Should be fun!
QOTD: Was DH's birthday yesterday so went out for dinner. We had baked goat cheese souffle to start, then pave steak with french fries and french beans in a garlic and ginger paste. Sticky toffee pudding with clotted cream for dessert. Yum. Not sure about tonight, will probably just grab something quick after the show.
Cecilia arrived 12 October 2012
Good morning, I am feeling better. For the past two nights, DH and I have gone to bed early and I think that is helping with the stress!
I have a busy day with meetings, and will hopefully fit the gym today.
QOTD: Too much going on last night and I broke down for Papa John's Pizza. Tonight is blackbean casserole or leftovers. Yum!
Good morning. Yay for the Graham Norton, sushi!
Tomorrow my parents come for a few weeks, so I'm doing the last minute cleaning today.
QOTD: Yesterday was a rough day, so I let me H have leftovers and I had tuna and hummus pitas.
Tonight we're having chinese.
Good morning.
My BF is in a new flat and the bathroom light isn't working. As a result, I thought I had put in both of my contacts this morning, but I really only put in one. I will now spend the day working with one eye shut in the hopes of avoiding a headache.
In better news, as I was typing this one of my coworkers brought in bacon rolls for everyone. Yay!
Tomorrow is my last day of work, so I look forward to being able to sleep in a lot.
QOTD: Just some pasta with a jar of sauce. Tonight BF is making an African stew with rice and plantains.
Morning... I feel a bit bleugh today... sore throat, headache, bloodshot eyes... And one of my team has already called in sick (as in he sent me a text!!) so I need to stay and get some of his work done (and just realised that I will now have to chair the meeting he usually does and it's not til 4pm and I've been in since 7.30am!!! grrr... so much for getting my hair done after work now!!)
So, busy day today in work and going to bed early tonight. Hopefully I feel better by Saturday cos we are having a night away without dd and I'm really looking forward to it (does that make me a bad momma?)
QOTD: Dinner last night was sausage tortellini with a tomato and chorizo sauce (a jar with fried chorizo thrown in for a twist!). We've tried this week to eat earlier and its working well (now eat while dd has her dinner at around 6 rather than wait till she's down for the night a bit before 8). Tonight's dinner depends on what DH gets in the grocery shopping today... I made him a list and he's going this pm with DD after visiting his mum.
OMG, plantains. I miss them.
My Thursday is winding down, and I have been trying to get all the information possible on the JoePa situation at Penn State. I'm not a graduate, and have no connection to it other than being a college football fan, but I am an outraged. I hacked my vegetables for dinner with a force they might not have been subjected to had I not been reading the articles and tweets.
QOTD: Last night we ordered pizza and went over to spend the evening with my MIL -- she made cheesecake. My MIL is locally famous for her cakes and pastries. I am so enjoying it! Tonight I made lemon chicken over rice with a side of fresh vegetables -- broccoli, cauliflower and carrots, and left over cheesecake for dessert.
Morning! I'm going to put away all my warm weather clothes today. Right now I have them all over our guest bedroom and we have guests coming next week so I've got to move them.
QOTD: We went out to eat last night. We shared some nachos and W and I shared my chicken and mashed potatoes. I've got leftovers of my meal for W's lunch today. We might go out to eat again tonight cause I'm going to try to get my hair cut in town later so I'll already be in town.
Whaaat? Now I'm off to google this!
Good afternoon!
I just got home from volunteering at the USO here and doing some grocery shopping. Now I'm eating yummy shwarma and about to go shopping for a top to wear to the Britney Spears concert tomorrow. Yippee! So I'm having a good day.
QOTD: I made myself a personal pizza last night. Tonight will probably be chicken and veggies.
Good morning! I'm at work (boo) but I'm interviewing tonight for a volunteer job in my neighbourhood. I'd be working at my favourite charity book shop around the corner from my house. They raise money for a local hospice. They want someone they can call on weekends randomly to cover for sick/holiday leave which is perfect for me since I'd have trouble commiting to a regular shift. Crossing my fingers it works out, I've wanted to start volunteering again for ages.
QODT: I'm terrible. DH is in Paris this week for work and he does the cooking. Left to my own I appear to live off of cheese, yogurt, random crisps and baked potatoes. In no particular combination that makes sense. It's not helping my diet at all!
BFP Apr 2012, EDD Dec 19 2012 * twin h/b at 6wk, 9wk scan * Baby A lost at 12wks, Baby B was my rainbow born at 36wks
Lol, that's me, too.
Lol, me too. I'm totally undomesticated when home alone.
QOTD: We had some falafel & spinach burgers with salad yesterday. Today is chicken something (probably curry).
Afternoon!
I had a midwife appointment this morning and am now in the office. I have a pretty easy day ahead of me work-wise, and grocery shopping tonight. We're having an early Thanksgiving at my house on Saturday. It'll be my first time cooking for 15! Yikes! Should be fun, though.
QOTD: H and I had a late lunch yesterday, so I just had some cereal for dinner. Tonight, I think we'll either have soup or homemade pizza. Whatever's easier since I'll also be cleaning the house.
Good afternoon!
Went for a run this morning after a two week hiatus. It felt amazing. I was pretty freaked to see some snow on the nearby mountains though!
Going for a drink with a friend later.
QOTD: Last night I made lamb tongue. Tonight H is out, so I'll be having leftover Indian. M will have the leftover tongue.
