Bet everyone can't wait for the weekend!

I also had Thursday off of work and got to sleep in until 11am:)

Woke up, got dressed and made myself a luxurious bowl of greek yogurt with Flax Z Snax's Wild Cherry Nut Granola which was the perfect start to my day...sweet, creamy and crunchy!

For lunch I made turkey burgers.

Ate these awesome Terra Sweet Potato Chips with my meal!

Lean Turkey Burger on a Whole Wheat Arnold with SF Ketchup, SP chips and a Fuze.

I made Angie lunch and brought it to her...turkey burger, cheddar bunnies and a SoBe.

Stopped at Menard's and picked up more topsoil and potting soil and these SF Gummies!

My mom's new minature Shetland Sheepdog Rosebud!

On the way back home we had to fill up the truck and I ate some cottage cheese.

For dinner I made Pepper Steak Stirfry with short grain brown rice.

Had a cup of the last of the Edy's NSA Butter Pecan Ice Cream.

04.28.09 Lunch & Snack

This morning was pretty hectic since it was the first day our group started accepting European UNIX tickets...everything went well though. Also had a lot of normal tickets we usually get and a few websphere recycles.

Took a break at 9:30am and ate my yummy Peanut Butter Cookie Larabar:)

After my break all the way until lunch it was busy with the new European UNIX tickets, legal servers, reporting servers and at the last minute I had to run to Bldg 277 to thumb a WTS server that wouldn't remote restart.

I was hungry for lunch by noontime. It was such a gorgeous 60 degree afternoon and I was so excited to get out...ended up going with some coworkers to OCB and I didn't do too bad.

(Taco Salad - 200 cal, Fish with Green Beans - 220 cal)

(Cucumbers, Tomatoes and Honeydew - 40 cal, NSA Apples - 45 cal)

(Nonfat Frozen Yogurt with a crumbly Sugar Free Cookie mixed in - 250 cal)

My entire lunch was about 765 calories

Got back to work and it finally calmed down a bit and I was able to close a bunch of tickets we were working on. I did drink a lot of water at OCB so I had a quick minibreak;) 

The rest of the afternoon there were quite a few distributed folder and access requests I completed for employees in AD and then we had Siteminder issues again. 

Finally got my 20 min break at 3:40pm and took a nice walk outside<3

Went back in and got myself a snack consisting of the last of my Sweet Potato Chips with the last of my Pineapple Salsa...so sweet and refreshing!

04.27.09 Afternoon Snacks and Dinner at Houlihan's in MSP

After I got back from lunch it was still really busy! There were issues with WTS and another hung server but this time I was able to remotely reboot it. 

A coworker of mine got the next ticket and had to run over to 277 and the KVM switch was actually bad. Throughout the afternoon there were more issues with CMMS, CSMS, Siteminder and USS Shipping. 

It was nice to take a 20 min break at 3:30pm...took a walk and got myself a snack which was a serving of FSTG's Sweet Potato Chips with TJ's Pineapple Salsa.

Work was busy up until the minute I left...around 5:30pm I mixed myself up some Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt with Truvia and Bear Naked Triple Berry Crunch Granola. YUM!

Dave and Ang picked me up at 6pm and we headed out to MSP Airport to meet up with Leeann and Dennis from the JWS Forum at Houlihan's. 

Leeann was just flying back from Europe and had a 4 hour layover on her way back to Canada and wanted to meet up with all of us for dinner. 

Leeann was a really nice, sweet lady and had a many interesting stories from her trip. 

Dennis was quite quirky and entertaining and he thought that I looked like Hot Donna from That 70's show...
