How's your Friday?

    It's nice and sunny out today, so that's nice.  I'm meeting up today with one of my sisters who is in town and we'll be doing our little belated Christmas exchange thing and just hang out.  That'll be nice.  I am starting to think about how my Christmas break is almost over though, ugh my sleeping schedule is all messed up.

    Uneventful.    My regular job slow which is nice.    I'm going to work tonight at the club.  Only 2-3 more nights (not sure if I'm working Sunday or not).     

    It's a beautiful day clear day today.   Kind-of wish I was skiing, but all the crazy tourists are still here (long lift lines).  I will wait till next weekend to go.  










    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    I just wiped off the giant dry erase 2014 wall calendar at work. It was oddly satisfying.

     I then wrote 'Andrea's Wedding' in giant letters on the September 12 square. That was even more satisfying.

    Is it Friday? I can't keep my days straight anymore. I'm probably going to forget to go back to work when Monday rolls around. *ducks from internet projectiles thrown by those at work today*

    I'm freezing in my house and we have no snow. Giant groan. I need to go to the gym but I just keep thinking:

    I actually want to go to the gym, but my gym is next to my office and since I don't have work today, that's all 35 minutes away from me.  FWPs.

    I am doing four loads of laundry from our holiday trip while watching Friends on Netflix.

    I can't believe it Friday already. After two weeks off of work, I have to go back on Monday. That's making me sad.

    My new phone comes today! (My woe of first world problems on Wednesday.)

    My boss just emailed me that I can petty cash lunch for anyone who actually showed up today.

    Now I have to decide where to order from for everyone....damn FWPs.

    I'm working from home but can't concentrate. Instead, I'm knotting, catching up on work reading (instead of the project that I need to be working on), and eating everything in site.

    Also, I'm super not excited about going to MIL's birthday party alone. There's a lot of family in from out of town and I find a long night of embarrassing myself attempting to speak Spanish exhausting. The upside is we'll give her our gift (which is perfect) and there will be a ton of amazing food.

    DH leaves soon for the weekend and the kid is with his mom so my biggest question is how to narrow down all of my wonderful ideas for my weekend alone!

    I'm in the waiting room at the doctor's office for my eyebrow. My fucking eyebrow. About three months ago it started thinning out and now it's GONE. I am bald above my right eye.

    So now I have to get shots of steroids above my eye and I'm scared :(

    Smile: It's my last day off of shut down, so I'm bumming around and planning the errands I need to run. Like buying books and craft stuff. Big errands.

    Groan: I did nothing all morning and now I feel like I've wasted the day. I also didn't do about a million things I had planned to do over shut down. Sigh. A week sounds like a really long time, but it's not.

    Also, total FWP here. No real problems to be seen.

    It's so dead at work.  I haven't done very much with makes me bored.  I like being busy so I'd either like to have work to do and be productive or go home and be productive (or just watch movies from the movie thread I haven't seen ;) )

    Also, I coach tonight after work.  It's been nice not having to worry about that obligation for a few weeks.  And then I'm driving 1.5 hours to pick my parents up from the airport.... good bye Friday night....

    My office is closed today but I've been in since 9. Boss said he would buy the team lunch and then didn't. Waaahh.

    Smile: I'm not working today.  So right now I'm knotting from bed.

    Groan: I need to go to the gym, but I think I might have pulled a muscle in my ass.  So that might put a damper on my gym plans.

    Groan: when I went food shopping earlier, I saw such a cute stray cat. He came up to me and let me pet him, even under his chin. I bought him some food that I gave him when I was leaving. I felt terrible not taking him home with me. Smile: I just finished making some soup (turkey meatball with tortellini and spinach) and I'm going to make some chocolate chip brownies. H and I are going to visit his father in the nursing home, so we will be bringing these to him. He loves my cooking! :-)

    Groan:  I'm at work today.  It's dead.  When my boss called in to check on us the 2nd in command said "its really dead.  No real point in being here"  Boss said "it's a great day to catch up"

    Smile:  At least I'm dressed comfy.  These maternity jeans are pretty comfy as are my uggs.  Eventually it will be 5pm and I'll get to go home and snuggle up on the couch with my boys.  DH was a huge help yesterday.  We took down all of the Christmas stuff put it all away.  DH did a shit ton of laundry and cooked dinner while I relaxed.  I think I'll keep him :)

    Oh and it's pay day!!! $$$

    I haven't made it to the gym yet, but I did make a big pot of tomato/spinach/chickpea soup, have some roasted chickpeas in the oven right now, and sweet potato chips ready to go in next. So I feel like it's a halfway win?

    Sounds amazing.  I'm weird and love chickpeas and sweet potatoes.  Do you mind sharing the recipes?

    It's a good day - work gave us today as a holiday.  Not looking forward to work on Monday, but time can go by quick now because I can now say we're 3 months away from the wedding!

    I took today as my personal paid holiday ( I get one per year, must use by June 30th). I've done some grocery shopping and whatnot, but not much else. FINALLY got syllabus for spring A class, but instead of starting the readings early, I'm watching DH play Destiny.

    Having two girl friends over for dinner. DH is grilling steaks. I'm making sides. Right now too lazy to remove steaks from freezer to thaw. 

    Otherwise enjoying a lazy day, the fact that the biig bottles of wine were on sale at ABC, and watching my tabby go nuts at the birds outside, and actually running into/ bouncing off the sliding glass door (she's fine, just keeps forgetting there's glass there).

    The soup I just sort of threw together... canned tomatoes with basil and garlic, frozen chopped spinach, peas and carrots, fresh green beans, chicken stock, roasted garlic, a parmesan rind... simmered while the chickpeas were cooking (I used dried) and then tossed those in.

    The roasted ones I just dried off well, spread on a cookie sheet with a little olive oil, and roasted at 400 for 35 minutes until they were crispy and brown. Tossed with some cajun seasoning when they were done.

    Sweet potato chips I sliced with a mandoline on the thinnest setting, tossed in olive oil, sprinkled with smoked paprika and chipotle chili powder, baked in a single layer at 375 for 10 minutes, flipped, then another 10 minutes. They look a little burnt but I think they taste good. Might experiment with a lower temp/longer cook time to get them crispier without being so brown.

    The office closed early, so I'm in bed with the furkids binge-watching Friends on the Netflix.  It's amazing.

    This day is dragging. We are now going to go to dinner with my parents and relatives visiting from Canada later, so that should be nice. 

    I can finally give my uncle my STD. My parents screwed up their address.

    FI just officially requested his time off for the wedding and honeymoon, so that's pretty damn exciting. He's more jazzed to tool around on his new sled in the shitty bit of snow we've got left than anything else today lol.

    I just want this fire to take. My house is chilllllyyyyy and I need to be warm, dammit!
