X-Files Off Topic #41: because our friends are there through good times, bad times and times you need carrot cake!
 

Thanks for the new thread, Leanne! Love the title!

I wish I had some carrot cake, right now...

Haha nice title :lol:

Carrot cake is nice, but there's better cakes. :lol:

Thanks for the new thread! :hug: I love the title.

I really like carrot cake, too.

The only exercise machine I really like is a stepper, but you're sitting down. They used that for my back, and it made my legs so much stronger.

As you can tell, I'm not much of a fitness adult. :lol: Other then walking.

Hey Theresa! :wave: Good to see you out and about. :)

What's for dinner Claire? :wave: Was there any leftover pasta from what your daughter made?

How's your leg feeling since you've been up and around?

I'm having lots of leftover salad, (I mostly love the dressing-it's Ranch, but with a kind of pepper in it), and my leftover lasagna. :drool: Love both of those.

Ugh, can't wait to have my fridge running. Then I can have fresh (well, bagged) salad in there, along with dressing. :) Just got up from a nap, so I'm talking about everything I was talking to myself about before I fell asleep. :lmao: :blah:

Hey Kim, feeling bit better so thought I'd pop on. Had a bit of family drama over the weekend, so its been a bit tense here.

I am so hungry right now. I only had toast when I finished work. I think Jon and I might be having a date night later this week :) One of our fave restaurants.

Hi Theresa. What cake do you fancy, right now?

Are you ill still? :hug: Sorry to hear about the family drama.

Kim, my leg is really sore to the touch. I think it does get more sore at the end of the day, though.

I had my favourite, spaghetti bolonaise. Yum! No pasta left over from what I had, but my husband has eaten the other leftover pasta which the kids had yesterday. (We all had different things last night.)

That sounds nice. I hope you have your mini fridge soon. It'll be great for you to have one. :nod:

I kind of don't feel well, my stomach needed some TUMS today on top of my regular stomach pill so far. I'm still gonna eat lunch, even tho I'm not feel starved. We will see how this goes. I want to go to the condo again tonight if the kids are here. I have leftover pizza and some potato soup in the fridge.

I'm so not in the mood for being at work today, :thud:

Yeah, I just had carrot cake so I couldn't think of any other quick food. :lol:

Sorry about your family drama, Theresa :hug:

Theresa, :hug: I'm glad you're feeling a little better. I hope you and Jon have a great time for your date night.

Claire, end of day is hardest for me, too. :hug: I'm happy you had a good dinner. That sounds really good.

Leanne, my stomach has burned more this week too. Are we all becoming virtually connected from online? :lol: Seriously, I hope you get feeling better soon. :hug:

Cheesecake is my favorite cake. Other cakes, I don't like the new type of icing they use here.

:lol: Kim, we are becoming connected for sure over the power of the X-Files OT. *cue creepy X-Files music*

That's too bad your stomach has felt more burn-y too. Is it just cause it's February?? :eyebrow: that's my go to, blaming February!

I don't really like cake. The best cake I've enjoyed was prison cake, literally cake baked in prison. I prefer chocolate cake. But I really prefer pie if given a choice for dessert. I'm not an icing or frosting fan very much.

Claire Hello! I don't fancy carrot, but I could do with a sponge cake.
No I am not ill anymore, just a tad sniffly but I do have my meeting with my head about my illnesses tomorrow.

Thanks, its tense and I am ignoring my dad, but let's see if it'll blow over in a couple of days.

Leanne Thanks :hug: Its making me incredibly anxious, and I went to work really pissed off, so I was extremely hard on my class so I do feel bad.

Kim Thank you. I'll chat to Jon tonight and watch a bit of Modern Family and see if that helps my mood. Modern Family usually does soothe me. I believe there is some Masterchef on later.

Oops double post!

Yeah hopefully it will blow over in a few days of distance or cooling off Period!

Well, I couldn't take it anymore! This school is feral today and the back room I'm working in has no heat and on top of it my stomach felt a bit sick so I loaded up myself with my supplies and books and have come to the staff room to do my stuff where there is heat and no kids making noise, just couldn't take more. :thud:

And tonight I just need to go to the condo and have no noise! Maybe take the "Soothe" book with me and start it cause I feel like a need a time out completely. I just feel guilty about not being with my cat after he's alone when I'm at work.

Ok, I told my husband I had a craving for carrot cake and he drove off to the local petrol station and got one! Best of all it was only 50p ! Reduced due to the best before date I expect. I've just had a small slice and it's lovely. :)

My leg has totally ceased up this evening. I had to read to my son downstairs and couldn't go to tuck him in. :(

I'm sorry it's making you anxious Theresa. :hug:

You do what you have to, Leanne. :hug: Take care of yourself.

I love cheesecake too, Kim. :sigh: I have a weakness for cake, can't you tell? :lol:

Good on you Leanne, you do whats best for you.

And thanks, I hope so :nod: I'm still holding a grudge and I can hold a grudge for a long time. I'll probably stay at Jon's this weekend to get away.

Claire, bless your husband, thats kind of him:)

:lol: I'm so happy I suggested and mentioned carrot cake and it actually caused you to get some in real life Claire! :lol: :high_five: hope it tastes good for being gas station cake. The ones here in the staff room are homemade apparently!

Yeah, I feel like I'll be tempted to work in the staff room here often on Mondays cause of the peace and quiet and heat plus I'm sitting on the couch. It's more comfortable. :nod:

I'm sad your leg is causing you so much trouble, I thought it would be better after all these days! :hug:
