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. 😀
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. 😀
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! 😀
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! 😀
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 😀
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!
Love that you make time to spend with your daughter! I have to do that with Colin, and he’s only 9 – I can’t imagine what it’s going to be like when he’s a teenager!
you’ve never had jury duty?!! I get it once a year here in Baltimore…it’s like clockwork!
I was on jury duty a number of years ago and loved it! That was back when you had a 2 week stint. Maybe it helps that I sat on a jury but I thought the people watching was great and I learned a lot!
Good for you for planning dates with Hannah. I try to do that with my girls too. It’s something you’ll both always remember!
Pizza looks fresh and yummy.
I try schedule things with the kids seperatly – Tarryn normally wants to shop LOL.
I am thinking of starting a annual mom and daughter cruise trip.
I have been called for dury duty twice since becoming a citizen.
I was called for jury duty once. We all sat in a waiting room for 2 hours and then was dismissed!
Yay for Hannah Wednesdays! 🙂
As a teen my mom and I spent a lot of time together. It ws the best!
I got called for Jury Duty the day Ryan was supposed to get home for R&R last deployment. I was able to get out of it (thank God!) because of that and because I hadn’t (and still haven’t) gotten a MO drivers license. That’s $20 that can go towards my shoe or margarita fund 😉
We visit with my stepson and his fiance often. It’s always a blast! My stepdaughter and her hubby are in OKC so we don’t see them boo!
And yes, I have been called for Jury Duty. It’s a pain for me because of the driving. They hardly give you a good compensation to do it. I don’t mind doing it BUT the time it takes away from my business stinks. They had me come back for 3 days and then I got there the last day and they let some of us go, a waste of time and gas.
Have fun LOL
Finally! You got called for Jury duty – I thought it was unfair that not only have I got called twice, but was PICKED twice too!
Glad you had fun with Hanners! I like that the spinach is on top, not all slimy!
Your daughter is so lovely.
And can I haz the spinaches pizzas, pleeez?
As for jury duty – I was called one time for a three day stint. My husband took off work to watch the kids so I could go [civic duty and all!] And each day I got ready, dressed up – skirt, top, pantyhose, heels, makeup – the whole shebang.
And each day, after jurying polling, I was sent home. On my final day leaving the courthouse [honestly a little dejected because being on a jury would be COOL!] I ran into the deputy at the front desk and he said “Dismissed again, huh?” I nodded my head and he smiled and said “Well, ma’am, it’s because you are dressed too nice. They don’t want that here.”
Ohhhhkay. I was raised to respect the courts and I figured I was supposed to dress appropriately. Evidently in the little backwoods county we lived in they wanted the blue jeans and flannel shirt contingent to comprise a jury of their peers. [And this was 45 miles from our nation’s capitol. Go figure.]
Pretty much explained the dress code at Sunday mass too. Sigh.
That pizza looks amazing! I love that you and Hannah make time to spend with each other 🙂
I got called for Jury duty my freshmen year of college, but I got lucky because I had exams that week so the judge let me off the hook.
That pizza looks amazing! Love that you and Hannah make sure to spend time together 🙂
I got jury duty my freshmen year of college, however the judge let me get out of it because I had exams that week. Score!
Yes to being called,but I’ve never served. Always had a conflict or the case was settled before I got there.
How sweet that you are makingthe most of Wednesdays with Hannah. You just never know when that time won’t be there any more – so glad you’re enjoying it!
The pizza looks SO GOOD. Too good!
Looks warmer where you are!
My kids are in their 20’s now and i still try to get together when our schedules work out.
I was going treat Jen to sushi but then i got sick ;(
I love your relationship with Hannah!
Yes to jury duty! Served too. Sat through an entire trial & ended up being an alternate before the verdict was given.
Love that you and Hannah recognize the importance of making time to spend together – not to make you teary or anything, but one of these days that won’t be an option. Relish it, Mama Biz. 🙂
Love Hanging with Hannah Wednesday! So fun!
Jury duty, however, is NOT. It’s a snoozefest of sitting around for hours until you eventually get dismissed! I’ve never been called back for a trial – just tons of sitting around! Bring LOTS of reading material!
Mmm that pizza looks fab!
No jury duty for me…got many years for thattt to happen. Go you on not skipping a workout!
Sounds like you guys had a great night! Your pizza looks fabulous! Way to go not skipping the workout!
Yum! Love that zuch lasagna- fantastic! Definitely making it again. And love your time with Hannah. The pizza looks like perfection. And I love that sometimes y’all go for walks or take group fitness classes together :). My Mom & I love doing that!
