Good evening!
Thank you for sharing your thought’s in this morning’s Friend in the Mirror post..lots of interesting insights and stories.
Today I had what I call an ‘E-work’ day- which is a ‘paperwork’ day just on the computer, electronically. I have a Retail Sales Tax return due Friday so I have been working on that as well as inputting all my receipts, banking, and invoices. Mileage tracking didn’t get done yet. I need to start setting the time aside each week to chip away at it because I hadn’t touched my business tracking document since my corporate tax return in the winter. It wasn’t a pretty sight!
I actually have G-cal email me and pop-up every Friday to remind me to do my E-work, but I have been ignoring the messages for about 6 months now!
[For my post on how to use Gmail Calendar see here. Clearly, I am an example of what not to do! lol]
Dinner tonight was the quickest kind…the leftover kind. Hallelujah.
Featuring leftover Patty Pan Stuffed Squash:
Cute as a button!
The stuffed zucchini was yummy too.
and leftover Beet, Apple, Orange, and Raspberry salad:
I admit this wasn’t the best flavour pairing, but I had to use up the leftovers before we pick up the CSA tonight so it was this or the garbage. I am happy to report I ate almost all of the produce this week! Eric helped too. Teamwork! Our two crispers are ready for another fill.
I will leave you with some of my favourite links over the past week…enjoy!

Tonight, I hope to accomplish several things: 1) Finish tax return, 2) Hang smallest collage of food photos, 3) fold laundry (darks), 4) Upload more photography prints to online store, 5) Garbage night, 6) READ EPL.
I will be lucky if I get one of the above done, but crazier things have happened. lol. Have a GREAT night!
I’m terrible too about ignoring my calendar reminders! It kinda defeats the purpose, but I’d still rather have some sort of visibility of what I’m supposed to be doing!
I for one am tackling that cherry/banana/coconut bread recipe later tonight. I am counting on it to satisfy a 3-fold craving I have for muffins, bread, and carby sweetness…oh yes.
I do the same thing with my “To-Do” lists… I think I have FAR more time to get things done then I actually do. Isn’t it the most rewarding feeling when you are successfully able to cross off everything on your list, though?! Love it.
Oooh I missed that patty pan squash last night, they really are so adorable! Looks scrumptious! Good luck with all that you need to get done tonight, sending productive thoughts! =P
I can’t imagine all the work you need to do on the computer. That would drive me mad!
Isn’t it amazing how sitting at a computer all day can be so draining and exhausting? I had a computer day today too and BLAH by the end of it.
Great links! I’ve just started taking advantage of the Google calender, and so far it’s been really helpful, although I admit to ignoring some things, too :D
how do you spot people who make your recipes? I posted a photo of my cherry banana coconut butter bread here! http://s.rvxn.org/2010/07/19/you-answered-i-listened/ :D
I always love your links! I think I’m addicted to them :)
I hate doing things at night (chores that is) – once dinner is over, I am just done for!!!
You have been busy!
Ooh I’m gonna go read the link about the effects of prolonged sitting. Seeing as how I sat in front of my computer ALL DAY LONG, I’m sure this will make me feel superb :) Oh well, I’m headed to the gym soon so all is not lost!
stuffed zucchini, i must have that again, its delish!
sounds like you have a busy night, good luck!
Doing a little bit of those tasks each week really helps… that way you won’t have to have a ton to do later. But sometimes I’m the same way, I’d rather relax and do what I love and then have a pile of work later. It’s worth it sometimes! :)
My goal someday is to be featured on your blog ;)
A busy day is a good thing!
Leftovers aren’t exciting but the convenience makes them the best.
Loving these health round ups. Thanks Ange ;)
I’ve given up on my to-do list for today! It just didn’t happen! Your patty pan squash looks so yummy!
