Good morning!
Not too bad today. I can't decide if I am trying to come down with or get over a cold. I feel great during the day, but when the sun goes down, I start coughing and a stuffy headache comes on. I did a few errands today, picked up a local paper and saw that the solicitor who let me go the week before Christmas is in need of a legal secretary for an immediate start. Can't decide whether to laugh or cry on that one.
QOTD: I'm not sure. DH has a late class on Monday and Tuesday nights so it's do-it-yourself dinner on those nights. I have some leftover white beans and rice, but I'm not sure I want that. If not, there is really nothing in the house to eat.
I can't fall asleep. Trying to read myself to sleep but wasn't working to well.
I'm planning to take the EL into the city and getting Chick-fil-a for lunch. Then do some window shopping and a little exploring. It is suppose to be pretty warm out so I think I'll head to the Lake for the breeze.
QOTD: I have no idea. Not pizza I've had a overload of that. I'm thinking of making bruschetta. And then Mozzarella with Tomatoes and balsamic. I need something a little fresh tasting. But we are heading to the grocery store late and will be hungry. So I'm thinking it will be a roasted chicken from the Deli so we can eat right away at home.

Gaaahhh, Chick Fil A sounds SO good. I definitely need to go there when I'm in the US!!
Not much going on here. Working then teaching Zumba (as long as I have students)!! Then home to hopefully relax - we went to happy hour last night, and DH overdid it, so he's paying for it now, lol.
QOTD: I'm running home at lunch so I might throw some chili in the crockpot. Otherwise...no clue!!

I'vs been feeling down lately so figure it will be a good pick me up paired with some time exploring the city. It has to be bad for our budget when I noticed they added a store here. But DH has taken me there for cheap day nights. Lol

Good morning. Today's a busy day at work - teaching and then interviews with 9 kids for a leadership position. Then I have the house to myself tonight as my DH is going out with a friend for drinks.
QOTD: not sure...as it's just me, I might go to M&S and get a ready made meal

Not much going on here. Just working. Went to a store opening for a fancy perfume, just had lunch and went to grab ice cream afterwards with a coworker. Now just getting through the rest of the day! QOTD: Bean and cheese tacos I think.
PS Sorry I have no avatar or siggy pic, I'm real, promise!!

Morning ladies I just worked from home today and had a boring frozen pizza for dinner cause dh is out to a fancy dinner with work people tonight. I did make a quiche for lunch tomorrow though too as my friend & her 2 little girls are coming over - looking forward to that
Not much on for the rest of the day. I think we're having soup for dinner.
I'm thinking about going back to school.
What are you thinking about going back to school for? Are you thinking TAFE or Uni?
I'm not sure on TAFE or Uni, or even what for. I just know I need some sort of mental stimulation and if I have to go to school to get it then so be it.
I need to check to see which one would give me "life credits" and since $$ is tight, which one is covered by Austudy.
Now why would my sig picture show up yesterday, but not today?
If your siggy pic is a little kitty I do see it
Good morning! The weather continues to suck over here, blah. This morning i should hit the gym and then wait for the fresh direct order to arrive. Later today I have class then I'm going to pick up a friend of mine at work and show her our new place. I haven't seen her in a couple of months since she's been travelling and I can't wait to hug her!
QOTD: I have no idea yet but I'm definitely going to make mayo 'cause we've been out for a week and I keep promising hubby that I would make it

Good morning!
Today a good friend from college is stopping by with her DH on her way from VA to San Fransisco. I haven't seen her for 3 years, so I'm really looking forward to it. Then in the evening, my aunt and her partner are coming and staying with us for 2 days on their way from MD to Iowa to visit more family. Occasionally it is convenient to live in the middle of the country :-) If nothing else, it's a good stopping place for those travelling cross-country!
QOTD: Haven't thought that far ahead yet. Since we're staying with my parents, we usually just go with the flow. My dad has some eating restrictions so we're a little more limited in our selection than what we would normally eat at home, but it's not a big deal.

Good evening! Late to the party but I miss our GM posts. DH stayed home from work today and I was WFH in the morning, so we got a little bonus time. Even though I was working and he was kind of lounging around watching TV, it's still nice to 'see' him on a week day.
QOTD: I made home-made chicken-less noodle soup with celery, carrots, peas and whole wheat pasta. Also made a raspberry, blueberry and blackberry cobbler, which is just finishing up in the oven now. Can't wait!

Good Mid-Afternoon!
So far today I have run overlong on yoga practice (and narrowly missed a parking fine), spent half an hour under a tree pondering my fate, and then grew up and decided to work on my dissertation. I am currently feeling annoyed with myself for not being more productive.
QOTD: I am making nase goreng. It will be interesting since I have no peanut oil and no desire to get in the car and attempt to purchase some across town at the Korean store. If it doesn't work out, oh well.

ha! What subject area are you in? I'm working on my dissertation in poli sci. My distraction of choice is usually TN/TB or my DD.

I'm in Romance Languages, and let me tell you, it is absurdly hard to focus sometimes. I get all antsy about the world, about teaching, about grants, about pretty much everything, and then write NOTHING. I'm here because my Chair is my friend on Facebook so there is no way I can be on there all the time...
And I love Spanish lasagna, so please send some over here whoever just posted about that!
It's my first lasagna here and second time making bechamel - you sure you want some?
Don't get antsy about teaching and grants - you can do it! If you've already got two years of teaching behind you and you're interested in Spain, let me know. There's a great, albeit competitive, program available. Well, that is if our economy doesn't tank in the next two weeks.
