Tuesday Snoozeday

Swazzle

Hello! How is everyone today? 

It is cold here and I don't like it. My car said it was 25 when I left for work. I can't find my good, warm winter coat so I've been stuck wearing an old not great one  Hunting it down will be my #1 priority this evening. 

Last night, H and I went to a class at the gym. I really love when he goes with me. It makes it so much more fun and he pushes me when I want to stop or go with a lighter weight. When we got home, we made dinner together which I also (for the most part) love doing. He actually followed the recipe instructions last night so everything turned out well and dinner was absolutely delicious (HC black bean burger with roasted sweet potato fries and onion-pepper marmalade). 

Tonight, I'm working until 5, I'll get home around 6:30 and then I want to do at least 30 minutes on the elliptical. Dinner is another HC meal and then.... PLL IS ON!! So this will be me:

Good morning.  How is it only Tuesday?

Yesterday after work, I came home and threw some chicken pieces in water with veggies and herbs to start a broth.  Then I fell asleep.  H came home and picked up some food from my mom, so we ate that for dinner.  I took a bath, started some laundry, turned on Netflix, and then fell asleep again.

Good morning! I'm battling a sinus infection and a bit of laryngitis. We have this new health app thing that lets you facetime with a doc. Then they call in a prescription. I was able to do it at my desk yesterday, in under 5 minutes. It was a lifesaver because I can't take any time this week since we are so short staffed. I don't plan on using it on a regular basis, because I'm not completely comfortable with a doctor diagnosing me over the phone, but I knew what I had this time. So I guess when it's a situation like that, I'll utilize it.

Anyhow, I got home last night to GORGEOUS kitchen floors. I'm so stinking excited! Tonight we're having Fiesta Chicken Soup in the crock pot. Shit better be good. I was super disappointed in the meals I made from this freezer crock pot post on pinterest. It was something like 20 meals (10 recipes). I've only liked one of them so far. I think we're going to go to Ikea tonight as well and trade in the damaged cabinet door. 


Do you snooze in the morning? Sometimes. I used to hit the snooze button a good 5-6 times. These days, I'm usually up with the first alarm. At most, I'll hit it twice.

How late do you sleep on the weekends? Not late at all, thanks to Noah. 

What's your morning ritual? Shit and FB, shower, get dressed, do makeup, get the eff out the door.

What are you wearing today? Grey slacks, purple top, black flats.

If you watched any TV last night, what did you watch? I watched Dancing with the stars. I've never really watched it before, but caught the last several weeks. Bindi is absolutely amazing and I hope she wins it tonight. Last night had me sobbing. The whole mutual loss of a parent thing has me feeling quite connected. That NEVER happens with me.

What's your favorite number? Don't have one.

What's your favorite color? Purple

What apps do you use on your phone the most? Google, FB, Pinterest, Instagram, and Block Word

What websites do you visit the most? TK and FB

What book are you reading currently? (If you're not reading anything now, what'd you read last?) I was reading Sorcerer's stone but got distracted with life and need to go back and finish it.

labro

I love @beanbot2002 and @untouchablets honesty here. All three of us have admitted that one of our first get-ready steps in the AM is to pee/take a shit. Apparently all the rest of you wait to do your business until you get to work.

minskat30

Good morning!

@swazzle - way to go at the gym!  I'm glad you and your H motivate each other at the gym.  I don't really like to go with my H if I'm honest...stupid but I like to go without any distraction and get in the zone so to speak.  

@cocobellaf - Sleep where you can.  Sleep is your friend right now.

@labro - Can you ship me some homemade whip cream?  That sounds amazing right now...I want to eat that for breakfast.

@untouchablets - Have fun at Thanksgiving!  Is it a surprise to everyone that you are visiting or just some?

@beanbot2002 - How cool is that app!  I'm sorry you aren't feeling well though. 

--------------------------------------
Today I'm really tired.  I made Rajah's appointment for surgery yesterday and its scheduled for the 8th so here is hoping his knee holds out until then.  That was worrying me last night plus H and I both have colds from our flight/India trip.  He took Nyquil last night because, well, he can.  I wasn't sure if it was safe (it wasn't on my safe list of meds from the doctor) so I opted out and tossed and turned last night.  I'm so glad for coffee this morning.  

I have a butt load of work to do today so there is that going on.  In addition, I have an OB doctor's appointment today and I'm looking forward to that.  I have a bunch of questions for her. I'm mostly being a worry wart I think so I'm hoping she calms me down.  I need to get my infection from India checked out to make sure it went away and I'm more than a little nervous about the cross-contamination that happened in India with my Celiac (though I know there is nothing I can really do about it).  I'm sure she'll just reassure me but its nice to hear that everything is ok from your doctor, KWIM?

On the bright side, I had a good workout yesterday and I'm going to try to go again today.  It helped with my mood though not with the nausea like I hoped.  I'm getting a pre-workout smoothy this time to see if that helps.  I haven't worked out in two weeks so it was nice to get back into it.    


Do you snooze in the morning? 

-Nope, I'm usually straight out of bed when the alarm goes off. 

How late do you sleep on the weekends?

-I try to sleep in but Rajah usually gets me up, honestly, around 7 am at the latest.

What's your morning ritual? 

-Get up, bathroom (pee, brush teeth, comb hair, put on makeup), get dressed, feed Rajah, give Rajah a potty break, get H's breakfast and snacks together for the day, clean up the kitchen a bit and take out the trash if necessary.

What are you wearing today? 

-I'm looking pretty cute today if I say so myself.  A little black dress with a white suit coat.

If you watched any TV last night, what did you watch? 

-Negative, I ate a sandwich and went to bed as soon as I got home from the gym. 

What's your favorite number?

-3.  I have to kiss H in 3's too.
 
What's your favorite color?

-Blue is my favorite but I love black too

What apps do you use on your phone the most?

-I have an app that lets me see Rajah from home (its a security camera we have installed in our house where we can talk to him too).  Its my obsession.  

What websites do you visit the most?

-Here, CNN and Buzzfeed.

What book are you reading currently? (If you're not reading anything now, what'd you read last?)

-I'm currently reading a LLC Agreement for work...that should count as a book...a really boring book.

Get dressed, usually put on makeup, make a shake if I have time, grab snacks to bring to work, feed the cat, rush out the door because I'm always running late

Whoops. I definitely pee as soon as I get out of bed but I never poo that soon.

I poo first thing in the morning because it guarantees my pants will definitely fit better.

Question for all of you...what is your favorite Thanksgiving menu item?  What about Christmas?  I'm hosting Christmas this year and need menu ideas...its hard to host holidays that don't have "traditional" preset meals (unlike Thanksgiving) because H is Indian and wants Indian food, BIL is Mexican and wants Mexican food, my family is Danish and wants Danish food and I just want to eat something at this point that doesn't make me want to gag.  I could use ideas/inspiration from your menus?

As for me...for Thanksgiving I'm really looking forward to it.  My sister is making gluten-free mac'n'cheese for me (she uses all the "bad" stuff to make it and I could care less) and I'm beyond excited for that and turkey and her mashed potatoes with tons of butter in them.  I've been struggling to eat lately because of this nausea but the thought of Thanksgiving food is making me drool so I plan to eat all of the things I can.  

I also have a rant today....why are certain people so bitchy at the gym?  There is this woman in my spin class and she always saves a bunch of bikes for her friends.  She was a complete bitch to a new guy in the class yesterday who took one of "her" bikes and questioned whether he was actually in the class or on the "wait list" to get in because she hadn't seen him before.  She acted like she fucking owned the class and even the instructor told her to calm down and her friend could go take the one other empty bike in the class.  I felt terrible for the new dude.  The class was full and I didn't want to escalate the situation but I felt like telling her to back off...thankfully the instructor did just that.  

500days

@Swazzle Real talk, it's cold outside! My hands are officially cracking from being dry, ugh.

@minskat30 I hope you have a good OB appt today!

I am cold and tired- what else is new! I'm wearing a puffy vest all day since it's dress down at work.

I am exhausted. Last night H and I finished painting the first coat on our deck. We were trying to finish the first coat before it rains later in the week, then we'll have to go back and put on a second coat of paint. For some reason I thought it would go quickly because we had already painted quite a bit of the deck, but unfortunately what was left were all the little nooks/weird angles so it sucked (and took us 4 hours!!!). We finally ate dinner at 9:30pm and passed out. My body hurts this morning but at least I got a bit of a workout from painting (feels like it anyway). I'm glad today will be a slow day at work. Contemplating that second cup of coffee now......

Do you snooze in the morning? Absolutely. My alarm goes off at 6:15am on weekdays but I usually can't drag myself out of bed until 6:45.
How late do you sleep on the weekends? Usually till 9:00, maybe 10:00 if I'm really tired from the week.

@swazzle - H does the same when we go to the gym. It's nice to have that extra push!
@untouchablets - Have fun!
@labro - My mom and I are doing the same. I told her there's no reason she needs to cook everything when I can make half of it! Also, that pic is accurate!
@beanbot2002 - I hope you feel better soon. Getting sick over the holidays is the worst. Can't wait to see a pic of the floors!
@minskat30 - Oh no! I hope you feel better too!

.......Is it 5:00 yet???

@minskat30 We have a set Christmas Eve menu but it's all German food and most definitely NOT GF.

On Christmas Day we traditionally have a standing rib roast (NOMS), fresh green beans, oven roasted potatoes, gravy, corn pudding, and usually some other stuff. I don't remember what we have for dessert normally, probably red velvet cake.

Also, that lady is a bitch. Wtf? I hate when people get all snooty because they are a regular at a class, that's what makes it so fucking hard about not being a regular gym goer or a new person.

ETA:

On New Year's Day we have a ham from Honeybaked Ham, collard greens, black eyed peas, potatoes.

I've realized that basically  none of my food is Indian friendly (assuming your H doesn't eat pork? Or possibly red meat?), GF, or even diet friendly....

@beanbot2002 - Feel better! Your floors are seriously gorgeous. 

@minskat30 - I hope everything goes well at the doctor! It totally makes sense to me that you want her reassurance about everything. For Thanksgiving, I love stuffing. My mom's, specifically. She puts bacon and sausage in it and it's just so delicious. I can't think of what we have on Christmas except for ham and pineapple bread stuffing. That woman sounds like a complete asshole. That poor guy. I would probably have left and never went back.

untouchablets

Does anyone have any experience with uber and their surge pricing? Im trying to figure out a way to get to my aunts on Thanksgiving. she's only being half nice and not willing to pick us up from our hotel in the city. She wants us to take a train to the mall of America and pick us up there... So I'm trying to find out if uber will be better (as in cheaper) than a car service. Since every company I have called thinks I'm reserving a car when I literally say I'm just checking rates. Ugh.

jenna8984

I can't wait for tomorrow to be over and have the 5 days off with H, then Monday I fly to ABQ so even though I'll be at meetings I won't be in the office for another week after Thanksgiving. That's kinda fun!

Do you snooze in the morning? Never. Set it as late as possible and pop up
How late do you sleep on the weekends? unfortunately H goes to work at 6am Saturdays and when he gets up I can never fall back asleep. Sundays we "sleep in" together til 7am.
What's your morning ritual? pee, brush teeth, wash face, get dressed, pack lunch, leave. total of 35 minutes (hair is either already straight from the day before or goes in a 5 second pony tail)

@cocobellaf those are really random favorite numbers lol

@swazzle wow you leave for work so early.

@beanbot2002 hope you feel better soon!

@minskat30 lucky number twins! and to answer your question I'd say my fave Thanksgiving food besides the turkey is butternut squash. I make it like mashed potatoes, but with brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg.

labro

@jenna8984 Yummmmmmmmmm how could I have forgotten the butternut squash??? So delicious! I like it roasted - cube it and place it in individual foil packets filled with onion, salt, pepper, olive oil or butter, and a little brown sugar.

@untouchablets I don't. I only know of one friend who used them on New Year's Eve and paid over $100 for the service...

minskat30

@labro - Your food sounds amazing.  I do not eat healthy food for the holidays...isn't that the whole point?   You are right that H doesn't eat pork or red meat (I think he has had a steak like twice in all of the years we've been together).  My GF issues plus H's food aversions and my BIL only liking Mexican food means chaos for menu planning.    As to the gym, I'm not keeping my mouth shut the next time she opens her trap and acts all high and mighty.  She's one of those people who I think works out TOO much...I feel like a bitch saying it but it isn't aging her well.  

@Swazzle - Bacon in stuffing?! Yummy.  My sister pretty much told me I was SOL for stuffing this year like the last few years because gluten-free stuffing ends up tasting like mush.  Blech.  The palate remembers though.  I feel like the guy almost left the class after the witch reamed into him.  I'm glad he stuck it out.  

@jenna8984 - Butternut squash...yummy.  I love sweet potatoes...I'm hoping that is being made this year too.

@labro good god.
