Housewife

     I left like such a housewife today! Finally I had a full day off and this is what I did all day:
     My day started off with me making a large batch of plain & chocolate chip pancakes with some bacon (some of which I candied) and spinach and cheese scrambled eggs for everyone - all of which was delicious! :) Next I spent quite a few hours cleaning my entire house top to bottom as well as doing some laundry. Then it was time to go to Mass and I was scheduled to read - yes, we have a later Mass on Sundays and it is mainly hosted by youth.
     Right after that I started making dinner - Creamy Chicken and Vegetable Lasagna - and let me tell you, it was to die for!! <3 It's funny because I made traditional Ground Beef and Tomatoe lasagna the other day and thought of doubling the quantities so that I could make two lasagnas instead - one for that night's dinner and the other one for me to freeze and have another night where I'd have less time to prepare dinner. I did end up making 2 very generous portions of lasagna and I still had quite a few ingredients left over but not quite enough meat to make a third lasagna. Instead I decided that I would use the meat and cheese separately the next day and make some tacos and/or burritos. However, I still had a ridiculous amount of cooked lasagna noodles left and had no idea what to do with them. Until today, that is, when I decided to do a different kind of lasagna. And as ridiculous as it may sound, even after 3 lasagnas, I still have a large amount of cooked lasagna noodles left. So since I still had some chicken and creamy sauce left from tonight's Chicken lasagna, I decided to cut some of the cooked lasagna noodles into thin strips (like linguini), add the creamy sauce to it and pack it all up in a Tupperware for me to take to work tomorrow for lunch with some chicken on the side.  And yes, I do still have lasagna noodles left over and I don't when know what else I could possibly do with them. I feel like I am not going to want to even see pasta - especially lasagna - for quite a while after this.

Lastly, since my boyfriend did pass by for dinner but missed having breakfast with us, I packed him some pancakes and strawberries and blueberries separately for him to enjoy with his pancakes tommorrow morning during his early shift. Speaking of early shifts, I should really go now as I also have an early shift tomorrow!

Goodnight and hope I inspired you to spice up your leftovers a little!

Sleep

Ive been having a lot of trouble sleeping lately - Im exhausted and try go to bed early-ish but take forever to fall asleep and then just wake up at 6-7am without an alarm and I just can't go back to sleep.. I'm not even sure what to think of this all..

Crazy

Yeah, I know, I haven't posted in forever! But not only have i been crazy busy with work and such but my computer is giving me a lot if problems. So much has happened I don't even know where to begin and to be honest I don't even think I'll have time to go through it all. I'm not even sure if I'll be able to continue doing this weekly much less everyday.

There have been some interesting things happening however. Firstly, i received my 2nd julep maven box in the mail recently and I actually didnt know I had even signed up to get it and was originally mad that I was charged but I was very pleased with the contents of the box do I'm not complaining. Not sure if I'll get one next month but I know to be careful now for next time.
Secondly, I bought some adorable bras 2 days ago for a great price from la senza! I also got the cutest coffee mug from pink and with that purchase I got a "mystery gift card" which ended up being $10 which I used at Victoria's secret and got a free panty :)
Thirdly, I spend quite a bit at the estelle Lauder counter and received a free gift also!

Not bad but I just really hope that my computer stops giving me problems soon so that I can start using it again instead of only tying posts on my iPhone - that also explains why there haven't been any pictures posted with these posts...I still don't know how to do that with my iPhone..
PS Happy Easter!! :)
