Tis the Season to be Jolly

by Nicci on 12/14/2009

Cousin’s Office Party Recap: I danced to ”Journey” with Lisa, her boss, and there were pictures taken of me…don’t know if I’ll ever see them!  Her boss has a beautiful house in the country and the party was fun.  I drank 3-4 glasses throughout the night and woke up even sicker from my cold and headache from drinking.   Then I remembered why I don’t drink like that anymore.

TWO DAYS TILL… RADIO CITY ROCKETTES

My office is going out to lunch on Wednesday and then we’re seeing the Rockettes Live, for our Holiday party.

On Sunday night, I ate dinner with my friend Tiffany, who came down from Plano.  We  had a great time eating at Mr. Chopsticks and catching up.

I ordered Basil Chicken with Brown rice.

Monday seems to be  a great day too.  I wasn’t busy and I was offered a position at work!  I love my job as the Exec. Admin Assist. to the CEO, though it can be crazy sometimes. The other position does not pay more and it’s more work…I politely declined. ”Mama didn’t raise no fool” lol :)

I like my big office and don’t want to deal with Intake and crazy clients. Intakes phone rings like crazy and people are too rude, I dealt with attitudes, as the receptionist in the past…made me a mean person too. I’m happy in my current position anyways…I just got this promotion 6  months ago too.

Breakfast: Emergen-C and a juicy red apple.

Look at that Fizzle

Lunch: more leftover veggie pasta and another juicy orange…I’m on an orange roll.

Dinner: Black Bean skillet burrito.

Pre-made black beans and spices.  Add 1 cup of spinach, 1/3 cup onion, 1 cup diced tomatoes, 1 cup brown rice. Mix all ingredients in the skillet, cook on low.

Stuff into a yummy burrito!

Lunch did not feel me up, so I had two burritos tonight.

This yummy meal made 6 burritos and took less than 10 minutes!  Chris had two burritos as well and I will be freezing the others for lunch tomorrow.

Dessert: another orange b/c I’m feeling them right now.  I think my body is trying to tell me I’ve been slacking on Vitamin C.  Hey, I did great today with no meat in my meals…go me!

Good Night,

-Nicci

Amanda (Two Boos Who Eat) December 17, 2009 at 9:30 pm

YUM those burritos look great!

I’m with you, if the pay isn’t any more and it’s more work….why do it??? It’s like the old saying, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”

Erica December 17, 2009 at 7:33 pm

The burritos look fantastic! So up my alley. Good luck with the run this weekend! You can do it- I will be thinking of ya!

Thanks for the burrito recipe! Can’t wait to try this. :)

Seeing the Rockettes sounds so fun! I wish we were doing something like that at my office. Congrats on being thought of for the position at work :)

Allie (Live Laugh Eat) December 15, 2009 at 4:06 pm

SO jealous you’re seeing the Rockettes!! Love the mug btw.

Holly December 15, 2009 at 1:21 pm

basil chicken is one of my fave dishes – i ate it all the time in thailand! and i am uber-jealous about the rockettes…that is going to be an amazing time!

Jamie December 15, 2009 at 11:58 am

MMMMMMMM YUMMY BURRITO!!! I LOVE MEXICAN!
Your comment made me LOL. That salad wasn’t too bad… I just wanted more goodies on it… maybe some chicken… maybe not LOL I have no idea!
Yeah… I need to actually set that goal for myself and work toward it. It’s just hard for me to push myself! LOL I let myself slack off too much at times!

janetha b. December 15, 2009 at 10:49 am

Dawn (HealthySDLiving) December 15, 2009 at 9:44 am

Mari December 15, 2009 at 9:04 am

Ohhh I hope you have fun on Wednesday! I went to go see the show a few years back and I loved it =)

That pic of the beans in the skillet is so pretty…something about the colors lol

Becca December 15, 2009 at 7:25 am

Gah!!! All the food looks so good, and good for you for turning down the job! If you are comfortable in your job (btw we have the same job) and this new one didn’t make more, and had a smaller office, there was NOTHIN” to think twice about!

RunToTheFinish December 15, 2009 at 7:02 am

man I have tried emergen c and jsut can’t drink it! So jealous you get to see the rockettes I think tha woudl be such a neat show

diana(mymarblerye) December 15, 2009 at 6:53 am

it’s funny how alot of the bloggers slowly stop eating red meat or any meat at all without realizing it! BTW I see you are trying to load up on vitamin c! great idea during this time of year! Spinach in a burrito…interesting..so interesting I wanna try it.

Laura Georgina December 15, 2009 at 6:05 am

Good decision on the job front–it can be really hard to say no to things sometimes, and it takes a lot of confidence to do it when these things come up!

I think those burritos may make it onto my table tonight….

Lindsay Perrone December 15, 2009 at 5:56 am

Oh my, that skillet looks like heaven. I used to go see the rockets EVERY Thanksgiving with the family. Let me tell ya, once or twice is enough. I give them credit (believe me, I’ve never looked that good in a little outfit) but there’s only so much kicking a girl can take. Hope you’re feeling better today.

Marisa (Loser for Life) December 15, 2009 at 5:40 am

I would love to see the Rockettes!

Your burritos look yummy!

Jolene (www.everydayfoodie.ca) December 14, 2009 at 9:48 pm

Lovely picture of the oranges!

Katie December 14, 2009 at 9:29 pm

I used to be SO addicted to Emergen-C, haha!

One of my friends is a Rockette!

'Drea December 14, 2009 at 9:14 pm

That Basil Chicken with Brown Rice sounds and looks so good and hearty.

I just love basil.

LC December 14, 2009 at 9:02 pm

This looks GOOD! Makes me hungry.

katie December 14, 2009 at 9:00 pm

Angela (Angelalovesfood) December 14, 2009 at 8:59 pm

YUMMM, everything looks healthy. I also LOVE your mug and especially how you drink your Emergen-C with it:) I need to find a cute mug that has happy meanings like yours.

Lesley Lifting Life December 14, 2009 at 7:33 pm
