OOTD – May 25, 2010

3 Comments

This morning we were rushed to get everything ready in time. I had my alarm set or 6:30am so I could play with Alfie for a bit before he had to go get things removed from his body at the vet today. Well that didn’t end up happening because my blackberry’s alarm didn’t end up going off! Instead, I woke up at 7:15 from Scott’s blackberry alarm and I popped out of bed and got dressed immediately.

We had to drop Alfie off to the vet between 7am — 8am. We made it there in time, but I think Alfie knows that vets are now a place where he gets poked and prodded at. Because he was making weird noises, not necessarily growling. But doing something weird with his mouth, and digging into my shoulders when I was carrying him.

Once he was left at the vet, we drove home and I got ready for work. Thankfully I get my work clothes all sorted out for the whole week on Sunday (or this case Monday since we had a long weekend), so when I got out of the shower I was alllllllllllllll ready to go.

I took some photos of my outfit when I was on my break at work, in the bathroom lol. Don’t mind! I love new clothes. It was actually too hot to wear this cardigan when I was outside earlier today. Imagine that! LOVE this summer heat.


Ring: RW & Co (October ’09?)
Necklace: Forever 21.  I think this was like $4.o0 or something! (Recent purchase – but since they put up new accessories almost daily, it’s probably not available)
Watch: Fossil Stella
Bracelet: Aerie lol
Cardigan: Old Navy ($24 ish)
Tank: Jacob $18
Shorts: Old Navy (Bought days ago, I think it was like $20 something dollars)
Shoes: Michael Kors “Amber Flats” — bought in Toronto

Are you doing what you love?

Literally.

Someone I know is in the painful process of switching careers right now. For the longest time I never knew something like a Graphic Designer existed, and I’m so glad that I found it out somewhat early on. I’ve been told I am quite the late bloomer with things. But at least I’m still in my twenties, for now … and am doing what I love. I guess I’m what you’d call lucky. I have a full time permanent position, I have a terrific fun-loving boss, and I’ve been here almost three years. It gets better and better each day. I can take Univeristy courses paid by my workplace to better my skills.

It just doesn’t get any better than this.

Do you love your job?

Organization of the desk calendar

october-2009-calendarAnyone who lives in South Western Ontario can vouch for me that yesterday was extremely beautiful outside, correct? It was 18ºC out there!! People were wearing tank tops and shorts. Of course we had to go out and enjoy the last bit of weather before the weather turns.

So, what does your month end calendar look like?

All my favorite people’s birthday are in October. Boyfriends, close friends and loved ones. I wonder if that means something? Do I flock towards them subconsciously?

Get this:

Boyfriend’s birthday: October 4
Best friend #1 birthday: October 22
Best friend #2 birthday: October 27
Nephew: October 31

That’s gotta mean something. haha. I always found that pretty interesting.

I hate messing up my calendar. I get paid on Friday’s, the purple $ sign you see scratched out was when I obviously couldn’t do my math right and got confused drawing every second Friday off as a pay day. Ugh. So I had to scratch it out. Unfortunately I do not get paid three times in October. Whatevs. It’ll be more exciting getting paid 3x a month come JANUARRRRRY.

November is looking pretty similar though too.

Annnnyway, onto more organizing for the week. Here’s my menu plan. I really need to get rid of a lot of things in our freezer (it’s the type that’s attached to the refrigerator, so it’s JAM.PACKED with pork chops and other frozen stuff that was on sale.)

Monday: Macaroni and Cheese
Tuesday: Chicken, mashed potatoes, and carrots (we bought a 10lb bag of potatoes!!)
Wednesday: Pork tenderloin marinade (without the pork tenderloin, just reg. boneless chops), with roasted potatoes, and broccoli
Thursday: Chicken penne alla vodka (Haven’t made this in aaaages. It’s so high in fat. Any recommendations for a replacement of Whipping Cream? I’m also going to replace the penne pasta with large shell pasta that was something likr $0.75 for a huge monster bag)
Friday: Frozen pizza (also on sale. We have three in the freezer)
Saturday: Honey garlic pork stir fry. (I haven’t had honey garlic on anything but chicken before, so hopefully this will be edible.)

Most of these meals can be found on my recipe page. I also plan on making jube-jube cake this week. MMMM. My Mom’s (grandmas?) old recipe. I haven’t had it in years. But it’s super easy to make. I’m stoked!
