This week has kind of gone by really fast – with my overtime at work this week, I am REALLY ready for the weekend! Since I got home late last night, and there was so much to watch on the DVR – who watches Modern Family? That show kills! The cast is perfect! And then there were some of my food shows. Man v. Food and Top Chef. I am kind of getting sick of the sibling rivalry between Michael and Brian, and Jenn is just a bit too of a perfectionist to me. But I love Kevin – he’s the one that won the Pork to Pinot contest last week – he has a chance of going all the way!
So since I didn’t put my food together last night, I set my alarm for 7:00, giving me plenty of time to put together a great breakfast and lunch. I seriously can leave my house at 8:30 and be at my desk at 8:45 – how cool is that! (another reason why I should get my ass up and go to the gym!) 😀
I reheated coffee from yesterday since there was so much leftover. Does anyone else do that but me? Because I wanted this:
I still haven’t seen it in the grocery store, but when Tony stops at 7-11 for pop, he steals puts a couple in his pocket for me. So sweet!
I decided to take my shower first, then when I got out, I heard my phone beep. It was my boss. I tried to call her back, but got voicemail, but checked my email and saw some documents that needed revisions and emailed out asap. So I left the house without my lunch bag! I felt naked. 😀
By 9:00, my document sent, I went to the cafe in the building next door. I knew they just announced they had an egg sandwich, so I got one. It was okay. But do you think this is worth $3? I added liberal amounts of Tabasco 😀
So what to do for lunch? My office drawer was bear (need to fix that stat!). Usually I have tomato soup, crackers. Today all that was left was a lone packet of hot chocolate. But then I remembered that I had pizza I brought the other day and never ate – it saved the day!
My friend Cassie at work knows how busy I have been, and as an act of kindness (and a way to bribe me not to quit!) she left these goodies on my chair!
How nice was that? I left the coffee at work and brought the rest of the loot home – and I am wearing the socks right now – so warm and comfy on this rainy night! Thanks Cassie!
I made a lasagna with the remainder of my Italian Sunday Gravy a couple days ago, and it was so nice just walk in the door, turn on the oven and pop it in! 45 minutes later – it was all cheezy!
And I was craving a salad!
I found some radishes in my veggie drawer – I love them, but never think about them!
Biggest Loser Spoiler!
I figure by today, even if you couldn’t watch it on Tuesday, you’ve watched it by now. Did anyone think it was weird that Shay’s step-kids didn’t run to the door to greet her, or even know where she had been for that matter? And poor Dina – she goes home, and everyone around her is eating like crap – did you see her husband order the 2 pound burrito AND a plate of sliders! I did notice when they went back to see how she’s doing, there were no pictures of her husband around – and her son was just so darn cute! 😀
If you want to get the best recap of Biggest Loser – go here! Another reason I like her is that she loves the movie Its A Wonderful Life and cries at each viewing – just like me! 😀
I am about to make a pot of Spicy Thai Coconut Chicken Soup for my lunch tomorrow – you’ll have to come back for the recipe!
Off to watch The Office and snuggle with Tony on this rainy night – see you tomorrow!
that was such a nice surprise your friend left you on your chair!
That pizza looks yummy…
Holly comments! Because you’re the greatest. Mean it. Yummy healthy ideas as always. Grilled sandwiches are always added to the list. Any I’m so glad the pumpkin recipes are coming out again. I should make my pumpkin spice oatmeal again. Have a great weekend!!!
Thanks for the comment! You should pick up stitching again, it’s relaxing as you probably remember.
I love anything with pumpkin spice in it, esp the Dunkin Donuts stuff.
Take care!
OMG! I totally thought it was wierd that her kidds didnt run up when she walked in the door too! haha Step- or not!
Pumpkin pie coffee creamer….I need to make a trip to the nearest 7-11! 😉
I thought that was weird about Shay’s step kids too, especially when one of them said, “where have you been?” That was bizarre to say the least!
But, I’m glad she was still there!
I love that pumpin pie creamer, maybe I can add that to my coffee!!
Thanks for visiting my blog. Always nice to have new readers. I like your blog too so I’ve put you on my google reader so I can visit you more often.
fuzzy socks are the best!! what a nice gift, and how cute that tony gets you those pumpkin spice creamers, what a guy!
What a sweet gift from your co-worker!
Wow, what a cool fried you have at work. Those kind of things just don’t happen in my life much 🙂 (except with hubby dearest).
I noticed Shay’s family’s lack of reaction. Compared to the others who had family members run up to them or huge gatherings waiting for them…it was very sad. A part of me thinks the small reception she got was somehow contrived by the producers to perpetuate her sympathetic story that she’s never “had anyone”…and another part of me thinks it’s just proof that she still doesn’t “have anyone.” Sad either way.
I, too cry at It’s a Wonderful Life. every.time. It’s a yearly tradition for us to watch it with hot cocoa 🙂
I want to watch Modern Family but I keep forgetting! I’m going to have to check it out on hulu – it looks hilarious!
What a sweet gift from your coworker! Everything just screams rainy/snowy night – so comforting 🙂
I watch Modern Family, it’s a really funny show! 🙂
Your meals look so good.
Love the gift from your co-worker. I totally relate to walking out the door without my food/water, I do it all the time, drives me nuts. I watched the BL this week but I guess I wasn’t paying very close attention (I was on-line at the same time) so I missed the Shay/stepkid thing.
what a great co-worker and a sweet thing to do! YES i just watched TBL last night and was thinking the same thing. no wonder shay says she doesnt have a support system at home. i cant believe her step kids didnt know where she was. that was so sad 🙁
You co-worker is so sweet. Small little gestures like that makes me feel so warm and appreciated too.
Awww, I noticed that about Shay’s stepkids too and thought it was very sad. Maybe she just recently married into their family? Either way, it was a bit awkward and I felt for her…
Your lasagna look fabulous!!
hmm, i caught some of that on the episode, but i’m sure the situations play a part in their weight… 🙁 hopefully everyone will have positive experiences and be able to change things around!
We’re going to watch Top Chef tonight or tomorrow! I’m loving Kevin too! I hope he wins!
I’m cheap so I’d “steal” those 7-11 creamers too AND don’t think $3 is reasonable for that egg sammie!
Mmm that big salad w/ the Annie’s dressing looks delicious, I think I’ll for for one right now!!! Thanks! 😉
What sweet gift from your coworker/friend.
I always hate when I have to rush out of the house to school with nothing for lunch/snacks. Had to buy a 10 oz fruit cup today – it was 3.59!
Almost the weekend – yayyyy! 😀
