Evening everyone
Welcome, russetred!
Ragz, well done on staying out of snack-trouble! I find that tea helps most of the time. In some cases it is also that my mounth is just bored and I need something to keep it occupied and then just have a sherbet lemon or a peppermint chewing gum.
Wasn't such a good girl today... Am alone in the office, so no chance for a proper lunchbreak on Friday as we open seven to two. So just a quick sandwich squeezed in between some costumors at the counter and a phone call with a guy whos name sounded a lot like snowman....
Left the right after we closed at two, went into town to find a present for my best friend - without sucess - and then had some time to pass until a doctors appointment, so ended up at Starbucks...
Busy weekend ahead. We're having a party going on in the neigbourhood so instead of sandwiches or that like we agreed on having soup, some small nibbles and cakes, so I'll make a huge pot of my vegetable-barley soup tomorrow.
On Sunday I'll meet friends for a coffee and some knitting in the morning and in the afternoon we're having a family gathering (well, small one, parents, sister and me) to pack christmas parcels to donate to charity. And then it is already Sunday evening....
Plan - or better mindless eating report...
B bread on the go
L sandwich
D pasta with cheese and a bit of bacon
S cake, cappuchino
