All in its glory

So apparently I’m the top scorer in my soccer league!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m on fire in this indoor season, if I do say so myself. I’m in two different leagues this winter and I play twice a week. There hasn’t been a game yet where I didn’t score. We’ve been playing since mid–october, and we’ve won every but one game. Last night’s game was pretty tough, we only had one sub as did the other team. I scored the first goal of the game, and then after that I lost track at how many our team scored. (Two for me yesterday) but we won 7–1, ahhh victory.

I’m so glad it’s Friday.

Tonight I’ll need to go to Shoppers Drug Mart and pick up a pair of black tights to wear tomorrow, because it’s frigid out there right now. I’ll need some AA batteries for my crap camera too, so I can take some shots throughout the evening. At work, we’re having these daily contests for free drink tickets, and I’ve been winning. Hope I don’t get too tipsy! Maybe I’ll share them with the boyfriend.

I have nothing for lunch. Maybe I’ll eat some cheesecake that’s in the staff fridge. Oh mmm.

Next weekend, which I should have booked for this weekend I’m getting my eyebrow wax and pedicure, right before I go home for Christmas. My brows are completely unruly right now, and no amount of makeup is going to cover up those bushes now. I never thought of my Christmas party. TOO LATE NOW! It’s okay, I’d rather have them nice and freshly done right before I go home for 2 awesome weeks. The little Asian woman I go to is so sweet and amazing. My co-worker actually recommended me to her. She totally under charges and takes her damn sweet time when she’s doing anything to you. I’m not kidding when I say I’ll be sitting in her basement for 2 and a half hours next Saturday morning getting impeccable treatment from her. Her little girl who is 9 always helps me pick out really nice colors for my toes. Heh. I can’t wait to give her a really nice Christmas tip!

YAY!!!!! Boss lady brought in like 20 Christmas CDs! I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

I can’t wait to sit down and relax after the Christmas Party. I’ve got Rock Band on the mind, playing in my PJs all weekend long. How about you guys—What’re you all up to?

Edited to add: I GOT A RAISE TODAY! Merry Christmas to meee!

Cooking and sharing with you!

Well, I’ve had a few requests to post recipes of some of the things I make for my din–din. But, I won’t post these just yet, all you readers, you! You’re going to have to sit still and I will push the pages live once I make enough to be post–worthy, decked out with photos and directions to help. Hehehe! Some of soon–to–come recipes are here in this post. Exciting!

SNEAK PREVIEW:

I’ll have more to post in the next few days. I’ve been slacking, because it’s been pretty busy lately. Getting my Christmas Party dress out of storage, and trying to find my heels to match, getting the Secret Santa stuff ready, and getting ready to move into a new place, and packing for HOME. More details to come!

My weekly dinner menu

10 Comments

To save money on groceries. I do out a weekly list of what I already have in the fridge to try and use up all the produce and frozen meats so they won’t sit in the fridge/freezer too long, and have me forget about it. I’ve been slacking for the last few months on writing down weekly menu’s. But then I jump back on the wagon, and for the past 3 weeks I’ve been writing down on the frige what we’re going to eat for the week. That way boyfriend can’t ask me at 3 o’clock while his cravings kick in at work for food: “What’s for supper?”. Ahhh!

So here’s my list for the next little while—all cooked at home! We rarely eat out and it’ll usually be on a weekend out to McDonalds which is a cheap meal in itself. YUM! (I sometimes do a lot more than a week’s worth, since I get on a roll with all kinds of recipes dancing in my head) lol:

DECEMBER 1–6
Monday: Angus beef burgers (blue menu!) & shoe string fries
Tuesday: Salmon with basmati rice and a ceasar salad
Wednesday: Chicken teryaki stir fry with basmati rice
Thursday: Chicken wraps (I put low fat shredded cheese, chopped tomatoes, red/green peppers in strips, taco seasoning on the chicken, shredded lettuce and a tablespoon of low fat ranch dressing. All wrapped up. Yum!)
Friday: Pork chops, steamed asparagus, baked potatoes, and boiled carrots
Saturday: Asparagus wrapped in chicken served with rice (This recipe is the best. My Mom did some experimenting and it’s now on my weekly menu. Flatten out the chicken breasts, sprinkle some cheese and add 3 stalks of asparagus. Top with salsa and chopped tomatoes!)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
DECEMBER 7–13
Sunday: Parmesan garlic potatoes with pork chops and carrots|
Monday: Gemeli (Basically gemeli noodles, with a bunch of shredded cheese and tomato sauce)
Tuesday: Rotini with vodka sauce and chicken
Wednesday: Honey mustard chicken with basmati rice and steamed broccoli
Thursday: Chicken quesadillas (My own, are my favorite. I should post this recipe!)
Friday: Cressendo chicken pizza—bought for $3.99!
Saturday: Staff Christmas Party
____________________________________________________________________________________________
DECEMBER 14–16
Sunday: Chicken pad thai with red peppers and tomatoes
Monday: Pork tenderloin served with roasted potatoes and cooked carrots
Tuesday: Supper over in the next city, with my Mom’s cousin(I think!)

Wow. So that’s our meal plan until December 16th. I never usually stray off that either. Because sometimes I feel ambitious and chop up my veggies a night in advance so I don’t slack off. Notice we don’t have many left overs? Literally once a month I’ll make enough left overs (usually it’s with Chicken Pad thai, as per request from the boyfriend) that I save some for lunch for the next day. (That, or home made macaroni and cheese).

My mouth is watering. I have a stupid frozen dinner for lunch today.
