After a very pathetic (but delicious) dinner on Tuesday night:
Avocado on buttery english muffin. With a side of chips I had at small group.
Last night was the only day probably in the past 2 weeks where I didn't have anything I needed to do. And even then, a friend had invited people over for a scrapbooking thing. I wanted to go, but I had just been feeling stressed and worn down lately. So stressed that at work I kind of snipped at my boss about being overworked and the next thing I know he plops this on my desk:
He told me to relax and if he wasn't stressed about stuff, I shouldn't be either. Um, yeah, you aren't stressed because you keep giving ME everything to do!
Anyway.
So last night I decided I needed an "Anne day". I came home. I went for a run. (second run of 2012 and it was hard!) I tidied my messy apartment. I read some of The Lucky One (good! now I want to see the movie!) and I made dinner.
I attempted to make my friend Liz's spicy thing from Monday. Mine was pretty good too. But not quite as spicy. I don't know how she does it, but everything Liz makes is just wonderful.
I stirfried red peppers (fun fact: has the most vitamin C of any fruit or veggie!), broccoli, onion and garlic. And put it over brown rice and browned ground chicken. And of course topped with
this delicious sauce.
Yum!
And then I decided to make dessert. I had a quart of strawberries that needed to be eaten and some dark belgian chocolates in the freezer since Christmas and so I made:
I ate every one. And no, I didn't feel bad. Strawberries = healthy, dark chocolate = sort of healthy. Plus this does not happen every day, and hey I ran 3 miles :)
More important, I also finally had time to sit down and work on a letter to Andrew that I've been wanting to write pretty much ever since he moved out. I know it won't change things, but God has been moving in my heart and changing me. I remember someone once told me if you feel the spirit prompting you do to something - you should do it. Because if you fail to, you could miss out on blessings, but even more so, your heart could grow hard towards God and his movings. And I don't want that to be me!
And a verse for today:
Micah 6:8 He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

1. I love that your boss gave you SoCo, hilarious!!!! I hope you had a little bit:)
ReplyDelete2. Avocado is so amazing, have you tried it with brown rice and black beans? SO. GOOD.
3. I'm glad you had an Anne day, you should have one of those at least once a month!!!
