A Day In The Life Of Me

Well good evening all. It is 7:14pm and I should be working right about now. Thought I'd take a little bit of time out to write a little something about my day :)

8:30am - Woke up to my handsome boyfriend making me porridge for breakfast.
9:00am - Made lunch & got ready for work
10:15am - Left for work to pick up the gals.
10:45am - Arrived at work & started my great day!!

Throughout the day I spoke to 9 customers who I happily booked in for filter changes. I went to 'Reduced To Clear' - which is the most AMAZING place ever! Heaps of stuff for real cheap!! Bought some unhealthy food which I didn't need. I bought Skittles, citrus flavoured :) I did buy some water!

I am about to start eating really healthy and get nice and fit for summer so I can get tanned and be happy with my body. So was meant to start Zumba this morning but was too cold to get outta bed. (Bad Start!) On a good note though I have been eating salads at work for the last 3 days which is good! Also made a homemade Pumpkin Soup which was devine, was my very first one too :)
Recipe:
Pumpkin Soup | Slow Cooker Soup Recipe
The classic, perfect for the whole family. Put this on after breakfast and you'll have thick, delicious pumpkin soup at lunch time!

Serves 6-8
Cook on high for 3 hours

1kg pumpkin, butternut, squash - any kind of pumpkin
3 large onions
1 Tbsp dried garlic granules (3 fresh cloves peeled, crushed)
1 Tbsp dried chicken stock powder
1 litre warm water

Put the warm water, garlic granules and stock in the slow cooker, stir to dissolve stock powder.
Peel and de-seed pumpkin and chop flesh to 1cm cubes, add to slow cooker.
Peel and finely chop onion, add to slow cooker.
Cover and cook on high for 3 hours.

It's ready when you can see the contents is mashable. Add about a tablespoon of butter, and use a potato masher, whisk or immersion blender to mash the soup. If it is too thick, thin with hot water, milk, coconut milk or warm chicken stock.
My family like it thick, served as is, with a huge grind of freshly cracked pepper on top, and a grainy bread or roll.

Honestly you gotta try it. It is very yummy.

Only half an hour to go till home time! Yes, that's right I finish at 8pm Monday-Thursday. I start at 11am Monday - Thursday. Friday's though, 9am-5:30pm. My hours are pretty crazy! I love my job though so I don't mind :)

Keen to get home & blob on the couch & watch UNDERBELLY the new season! Best show ever!!

Well that shall be all from me for now. Speak soon :)
