Melbourne Cup day. Wahoo. Is anyone else not as excited as me? ;)
I couldn't win a thing if I had the only ticket. That's always been the story of my life (though Wifey would most likely say something corny like, 'you won my heart' - barf ;) ). As I'm telling everyone this at work, what happens. I end up with a winner and second place in the office sweeps. Okay. The second place doesn't count as technically I bought that one for my mother-in-law (who does have the knack of winning things - even if she didn't have a ticket in something, she could most likely still win). Yay for me.
Brekkie. Normal - cereal, fruit & yoghurt (a bit too much yoghurt - still getting used to the new container).
Lunch. Provided by work. Oh. My. Freaking. God. The spread was AMAZING. But you know what (you don't so I don't know why I bother even adding that), I didn't feel tempted by things - not even the sweets or breads...or cheeses. I had a slice of roast beef, a small slice of ham and some salad (no dressings). Oh, and a 1/2 a pita pocket. I was very content with that. Oh (yeah, here we go...), I did have a small chocolate (but that was only 'cos one of the girls thinks I'm too good at avoiding the sweet things - our office seems to have a lot of them around).
When I got home, I did my usual exercise routine. 51 minutes and 670 calories later I was a pooped bunny...who should've really been thinking of preparing dinner but couldn't be bothered. Wifey can do it - she's better in the kitchen than I am, anyway. A lovely beef stir fry soon resulted from her swift hands. Since we had some leftover buttermilk, Wifey whipped up a delish chocolate cake - very nice. I, on the other hand, had lunch responsibilities again. Using up the rice paper, I changed lunch to be rice paper rolls again (been a while). Actually, it is for Wifey's lunch and my brekkie (I have meetings all day for the next couple of days - huzzah!).
I won $70 in the office sweepstake...score!!! We had a spread put on the by the teachers college today. I sat in my chair sipping coffee, and didn't touch a thing. Was very hard, it had lots of cute things like chorizo sausage rolls, salmon and cream cheese on french bread and chocolate brownies. I had to enjoy (?) the smells instead...
ReplyDeleteMmm. The spread sounds good, Cass. It does get easier. I now don't worry about all the cakes that get brought in - and I easily didn't worry about the cheese platter (which would've been my biggest weakness).
ReplyDeleteAs an aside, you should see the pizzas we do now - nothing like the ones I used to make when you'd come around for dinner with Bee & I. ;)
Oh, and $70! You teachers are rich, eh bro ;) haha
