We had an office party yesterday, that started with breakfast. One of my co-workers makes the best breakfast casseroles – this one is you classic sausage casserole – this one is so good – I mean how can you go wrong with breakfast sausage, eggs and cheese? My guess is this slice is 8 points.
I really wanted two pieces this was that good. š
We had a luncheon at work and we picked up food from Noodles & Company – I don’t think I’ve ever eaten there before and it was good – especially their Japanese Pad Thai – I have no idea how to count the points on this plate – any clue?
I left my office a couple minutes early because I had to drop off a package to fed ex. I was making great time! While I don’t have the 2 hour commute (one way!) when I worked in Chicago, my commute now is about 30-45 minutes one way depending on traffic.
Then all of a sudden the traffic stopped. I didn’t move for a few minutes, and I was getting mad because I thought I was going to get home earlier than normal. But then I saw the sirens. When I finally made it to the sirens, I saw there was a 3 car accident, and I saw a girl about Hannah’s age just crying as a paramedic was asking her if she was hurt.
Then I felt like an ass. Here I was getting mad over traffic when there was an accident where someone was obviously shaken up. It reminded me to slow down, not get worked up over things out of my control. Life is too short to get upset over stuff like that, right?
I had sloppy joes on the menu last night – I steamed up these frozen veggies because they were in the half off bin. I would pay $1.50 for this, but never $3. They were in a light butter sauce and each half cup serving is only 1 WW point. I had 2 servings. š
I only had half the bun (the buns I got were 6 points each – I didn’t realize!) So dinner comes in at 11 points. Yes, I love having mustard on my sloppy joes – I think it balances out the sweetness of manwich. š
Stats for Tuesday
- I am guessing about 35-38 points?
- no exercise
- average blood sugar 108
Have you ever been in a car accident? My family was in a bad car accident when I was 4. We were driving in a Mustang when we got hit sideways, which then pushed our car head first into a telephone pole.
I was sitting in the back middle seat (way before seat belts!) and my face hit the passenger side seat really hard. I just remember that everyone was more hurt than I was and I was left in the waiting room while the rest of my family was behind curtains. I just remember a man with a huge 70’s mustache keep asking me if I wanted a candy bar.
He reminded me of Gene Shalit – I am totally dating myself – I am sure the 20 somethings that read this blog are like, who the hell is that??
One side of my face was black and blue for the longest time, but I ended up having a dimple on that side of my face. Luckily for us we all survived. š
Make it a great day! š
Gene Shalit’s name now just makes me think of this:

Oh goodness, I love a good,cheesy breakfast casserole! Doesn’t get any better!!! I’ve been in one car accident. I was 16 and had my license for about 3 weeks, I was car #4 in a 7 car pile up. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured.
I do that too, get all worked up about traffic then bring myself back to reality, whats really important here?. I had an unlicenced unregistered driver run up the back of my car about a year ago. Scared the bejebus out of me. Luckily it wasn’t serious but still haven’t got the car repaired because the guy was uninsured too!
I don’t think we have manwich here, sounds intriguing!
I love those moments when I realize there is a bigger picture and usually life isn’t worth getting upset over! They don’t happen often b/c as my husband will tell you, I think I am the center of the universe. š OK, I’m 31 and even I don’t recognize that scary dude! I would have been scarred for life if I was left shaken up with a bruised face in a waiting room while a guy like that was offering me candy bars. HORROR! lol
I’ve been in 1 bad accident and it was horrible. I wasn’t terribly hurt but just the whole experience totally shook me up. I always feel so bad when I see accidents because I know that someone’s life is changed to some extent.
I even feel bad when I see someone getting a ticket because I know that feeling and I HATE it!!
Noodles and Co has nutritional stats online! š
I’ve never been in a car accident, and I’ve never tried Manwhich before!
whoops, just saw your comment about converting the counts to points! Sorry, I’m of little help š
I’m so jealous of your Noodles and Company lunch! I love their food!
I’ve been in a car accident before. When I was six, we were in an accident with a semi….I broke my hip. It was pretty bad and I still remember it very well!
That breakfast casserole looks delish! Cheese is one of my very favorite things but I have developed an intolerance for dairy – “sigh”. I’m still in withdrawal.
I got hit once while running while I was in college. Luckily I was able to get up and walk home, even though the guy was FLIPPING out over having hit me and wanted to take me to the ER.
