Oh man I am SOOO glad today is friday- I think I woke up with a huge grin on my face lol.
Hubby told me I’m not allowed to cook dinner tonight he’s taking me out- I’m like sure why not- as long as it’s not burgers and fries!
Last night I made pasta with brussels sprouts for dinner- it was good. I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture- sorry 
Basically I boiled the brussels sprouts till they were warmed up all the way- then cut them in half and put them in a skilled with a tiny layer of EVOO. Then cooked them till the bottom’s were browned and tossed them a bit to get some sides browned. After that I added it to the multigrain pasta with some alfredo sauce. My sister enjoyed it- I thought it was pretty good- and my husband? Here’s his dinner:
Yes that’s right- spaghettio’s. I was like really dude? REALLY?! Whatever lol- my husband, the perpetual kid at heart- I wonder what he’s going to be like when the two of us are in our 60s and 70s? I should get his neurologist to scare him into eating veggies :p
Oh and yesterday was the pre-inspection- which went over very well. I was only asked to do 2 things, and one was just get rid of some chemical’s that I somehow missed when I had gone through and inventoried our chemical supply (just 2) and then to put in our chemical record log some animal serum that we had purchased. Though I reminded the lead that she told me not to put this in- and she was like really? Do you remember why? I was like no I can’t remember but you did- and she was like “oh yeah I’m sure you are right but let’s just put it in now.” Which is totally cool with me- I really like our technical lead- she’s really smart and nice and a good teacher also 
Oh and so yesterday we got an email at work saying Knotts Berry Farm is having their annual Fire and Police Personnel Promotion. Anyone who works in law enforcement gets free admission to Knotts from November 26 to December 20! AND I also get to bring one guest for free. AND AND AND anyone else with me- up to 6 more people- get in for $15 a PERSON!
This is really good considering tickets are usually like $45 a person! I think they are having a November special right now where regular tickets are $30- but still- that’s still good! I want to go when my mom gets back on the weekend after Thanksgiving so that’s me, husband, mom, bro, sis, and sis’s bf. 6 people total and that would cost us $60 for tickets when normally it’d be at least $180! They also give 10% discounts for AAA members inside the park at the stores- woo!
I forgot my pill this morning- so far I feel okay but I hope that it doesn’t affect me too bad- I just worry I’ll feel hungry when in actuality I’ll be feeling tired- I think that was a big part of my problem before- but one day shouldn’t be too bad. I brought my lunch but the leftover dinner from last night just doesn’t seem appealing… I’ll probably go to El Pollo Loco for lunch.
Oh and before I forget has anyone ever used those microwave egg cookers? I’m thinking of bringing eggs to work and trying out one of these things- but I’m afraid the egg will be rubbery and gross so I don’t want to waste my money. Let me know if you have used it and if you liked it or not
Have a good weekend everyone!
Update- yeah not having my pill today is definitely a very BAD thing- I’m totally exhausted and have already almost fallen asleep at my desk two times… I’ve eaten two pieces of chocolate hoping it would help- it does temporarily then I crash again *sigh* I’m angry with myself for eating candy but I don’t know what else to do at this moment… I’m praying hubby calls me to go home soon. I’m calling my doctor’s office for an update to see if the approval was given or not. I hope it is cuz really I can’t keep living like this- I was reading about people whose sleep apnea is so bad they can’t even work! How sad is that?
GAH I called the doctor’s office they haven’t done ANYTHING- they were like oh we have to do pre-authorization? I was pretty mad and was like YES- I called the girl last monday- and I came IN last monday was told it was going to be done- why hasn’t it been done? I’m sitting here exhausted waiting for my medication WTF… The girl apologized and said she’s going to do it right now… PFT WE’LL see I’m calling on Monday morning at 8 am- I’m so pissed off I want to scream and cry and give up.
Nice!! I have always wanted to visit Knotts Berry. Sounds like it will be a blast with your family! I don’t have a microwave egg cooker, but I do cook my scrambled eggs the night before and throw them in a Tupperware container and heat them up the next morning in the microwave at work. They don’t get rubbery or anything like that..to me it tastes like they were just made. Worth a shot!
Hey now - don’t be hatin’ on spaghettios! I love them! 380 calories per can for the ones without any meat things in them - fits my calories schedule
Now the sodium - that’s another story - which means none for me 
I miss spaghettios 
Have fun with the family outting. Sounds like fun!
What a great deal on KBF! That would be a great outing!
I’ve used one of those MW egg cookers years ago. It was okay but nothing special. I think you can get the same results without one. Hungry Girl always tells you to cook them in a mug. I’ve been wanting to try that but haven’t yet.
Have a great weekend!
TGIF <3
LOL I will be flying in to Cali to join you. Please pick me up tomorrow! jk
I will definitely try not to obsess. I’m just so scared to fail.
That’s so romantic going out for dinner. My bf isn’t the spontaneous type lol. HAVE FUN
great deal on Snotts!!! Haven’t been there in a coon’s age, but been thinking of going. Have a GREAT weekend, and enjoy dinner out tonight!
Have a great dinner out tonight and a lovely weekend!
I laughed outloud when I saw his dinner.. I mean GROSS!!!! UGH!!
I haven’t been to Knotts in years. It was fun, but I still am a die hard Disneyhead!
I use a microwave omeltte maker. It works fine for me.
I have 2 microwave egg cooker things. One I bought in the US at some grocery store - white plastic, can do 2 eggs at once. Eggs turn out rubbery and yucky.
I have another thing I bought several years ago at a kitchen store - it’s like a big egg shaped think sort of but with a stand built into the base. It screws apart, and the top has a few holes poked in it. I still see them at kitchen stores from time to time - it was more expensive than the one I bought this summer (I’m thinking around 10$ but I dont remember). The eggs come out better - not perfect, but better. Edible, at any rate.
Here’s the issue with both of them in an office environment : they stink. Like, way WAY worse than microwave popcorn. Everyone in your office will look around like “who just cut one?”. I air out the kitchen when I use it, and cant imagine smelling that in an office environment…
I guess that’s why I started to look into different baked egg dishes to have for breakfast. I made several egg casserole things where I cut into peices (or baked in muffin cups) and then froze & popped in the microwave for the mornings. Nowdays I’m way into quiche for breakfast and or for lunch, but it’s the same idea - quickly available low carb food…
