I woke up yesterday to make zucchini lasagna for our lunch at work yesterday. Before I knew it, it was time to leave for work, so breakfast was 3 leftover almost mock buttermilk pancakes with 3 ounces of sliced turkey breast – which actually tasted really good dipped in the pancake syrup. š
I had a work obligation and only had 45 minutes – not enough time to make it to the gym and back. I looked on weather.com, it was 37 degrees at 11:15 in the morning. I just put on my gym shoes and headed outside and walked for 45 minutes (and was soclose to just skipping a workout – so glad I didn’t!). There are VERY FEW signs of spring people, and they are talking about possible snow in the next couple days. Um, tomorrow is April 1 people!
The zucchini lasagna I made previous, I made into 2 servings for 7 points – this time I divided it by 3, so it was 5 points a serving, with a 2 point romaine/carrot/apple salad on the side – with my favorite dressing: Annie’s Light Goddess dressing. š
I don’t know about your teenage kids, buy mine is busy! With school, babysitting and her job, I’ve said in the past that sometimes we are two ships in the night – I come home for work just as she is leaving. Well Wednesday nights she almost always if free, so I’ve declared Wednesday as Hanging with Hannah! We may just go on a walk, or to a group fitness class, but at least we will have a few hours a week with no distractions.
Last night we decided on dinner and a movie – dinner at The Lucky Monk and to see Hall Pass. The Lucky Monk has the best spinach pizza I’ve ever had. It’s described as:
Spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, extra virgin olive oil and fresh shaved Parmesan cheese
I’ve recreated that pizza at home here. This may need to be on my party pizza Friday menu! š
My guess is that for my portion of pizza and two glasses of wine, dinner comes in at 19 points – totally worth it! Thanks for being my date Hannah! š
Stats for Wednesday:
- 36 points, 26 flex remaining, 26 activity points earned
- 45 minute walk at lunch
- average blood sugar 122
- spending quality time with my daughter = priceless š
Questions of the Day:
- Do you schedule time with your teen kids?
Guess that I got in the mail . . . I’ve never been called to jury duty ONCE in my life!
- Have you ever been called for jury duty?
Have a great day!
I was called once, sat around for less than an hour and the case was resolved before they even questioned anyone. I don’t spend much time with my teen. I think it is hard with a boy. Wish we had something we could do that he’d enjoy before he heads off next fall.
I’ve been called to jury duty once…but as soon as they found out my husband is a cop they sent me home! A nice perk:)
That is so cool that you spend that time with your daughter! I never wanted to hang out with my mom when I was a teenager, but I love it now š
A lot of fun to hang out with your daughter! The spinach pizza sounds delicious and healthy!
Just had my first jury duty experience last week! I only had to go the first day, then we were all told the case was being settled and we weren’t needed. š Free day off work for me!!!
Love hanging with Hannah nights, too cool!
I’m in my late 50’s and have never been called to jury duty………..hope it stays that way! š
love the zuchhini lasagna, i really need to make that! the pictures are beautiful, here’s to a warm april!
I love quality time with my mom. Sound like you enjoy it too!
Ugh…yes, i have been called…but fortunately, never made it to the jury selection. Now serving as a witness…..yes to that….wayyyy worse than having to sit on the jury! haha ) and it’s a sarcastic haha…not a funny one!)
I WISH I could spend more time with my daughter! Like yours, she is super busy, but she is also away at college, so when she comes home, I want to spend time with her…I don’t want her spending time talking to her friends on the phone! š They grow up wayyy tooo fast, and I secretly wish I could stop it from happening! But I can’t! You are lucky you can schedule in time with your daughter. I do try to pencil in time with the boys though. They will be gone before I know it too!
The absolute BEST pizza I ever ate was in Chicago. It was even at a stupid hotel….haha.
I’ve gotten called for jury duty THREE times in my 4.5 years of living here. I just call up and give an excuse ea. time though. Neither of my parents (in their 50s) have ever been called for jury duty. J has a few times, too. Must be our clogged Cook County system.
It is a lot more green here, but I’m afraid it’s going to freeze and ruin the chances of fresh local berries this year! Hope not. I love that you have declared Wednesdays “hanging with Hannah!” I did get called to jury duty and had to serve in 2005, but it was a very good experience and was quite enjoyable for me. It wouldn’t have been as much if the guy had been guilty and I had to be part of his sentencing, but he was innocent and I enjoyed the story unfolding in the courtroom-kinda like watching a movie. Very interesting, and got to meet some really nice people.
I’ve been called to jury duty THREE times (county, state and federal courts) in the past 18 months. In the previous 15 years that I was eligible, I wasn’t called once. NJ just knows how to get you, I guess! I was either dismissed or they didn’t get to my jury duty number each time, but one of these days (perhaps in retirement) I’d love to get a juicy case!
That pizza looks amazing! So worth the points..especially with the wine š I was really busy as a teen…still am! But I always made time for my mommy!
Love your pictures!
Hopefully you don’t have to serve jury duty.
The first time i got called in, I ended up having to serve on a jury for 6 weeks! It was a neat experience but I wouldn’t want to do it again.
I’m so jealous of your date with Hannah! My daughter Jean is in the Dom. Rep., and we talk and google chat almost every day, but it just isn’t the same as just being together. She’ll be home for 2 weeks in May/early June, and I’ll have some of my own dates to talk about!
Yup. I was picked as an alternate and actually had to step up to fill in a spot when one of the juror had a family emergency. It was a DUI case and I felt like I learned a lot from it.
You and Hannah have such a great relationship!!! So nice!!! OOOH…jury duty! FUN!!! Sort of…
Jury duty intimidates me for some reason. I’ve been called several times, and each time, so far, I’ve gotten out of it (I either was a full-time student, moved, etc.) I’m sure my time is coming up again soon š
I’ve never been called for jury duty, but entire fam has been called numerous times in the past few years. My Mom has been called four times in two years, my lil bro has been called three times in three years, and my Dad just got called last month. They’ve always been able to get out of it due to school or work obligations, but I just know I will get it eventually…
yummy!!
