Thursday: how the soup turned out

Well, I got home and found that the soup had more turned into a casserole...all the water was gone. Probably because I put in extra rice because there didn't seem to be enough. (I added more water too but apparently not enough.) But, since all the liquid was gone there it didn't overflow. :) I tasted it and the result was not very good. So Ben and I ended up putting in some cream of chicken, salt, and cheese, and then it turned out quite good.

Which is fortunate, because we have about four large meals of the stuff left.

Wednesday: cooking

Today was a cooking night. I made a chicken and wild rice soup that I hope doesn't boil over too much tomorrow because the crock pot is really full. Luckily Ben is working from home so he can keep a small eye on it. I also put quite a bit more rice (and therefore a bit more water) than what it calls for so I hope the proportions end up being correct. After that I made spice bars for a picnic on Friday. My plan is to precut and preserve them so that we can have some in our lunches for the next few days too.

During most of this I got to watch So you Think you Can Dance. My two favorite guys did really well but my favorite girl didn't do so well. We'll see what happens tomorrow!

Tuesday: baseball

Today we went to a baseball game with our Bible Study. It was fun, although I'm not sure it is something that I want to do very often. I don't pay enough attention to the game. It also didn't help that we scored zero runs. :(

Saturday: Sims

Well, we got a new computer game (Sims 3) this past week and so both Ben and I played a lot today. But some weekends like that are nice. We did get several chores done too, including cleaning out some closets. :)

Friday: happy donut day!

Today is donut day. So after dinner we got some donuts!!

Thursday: headache

My headache started this afternoon and is still periodically around. It isn't a terrible one, and when I don't move it goes away. So I've done a lot of not moving tonight. This allowed me to give my full attention to "So you think you can dance."

Tomorrow's Friday!!!! It's kind of been a long week.

Tuesday: second new project

Today was my first day at the second project. They seemed a little bit more prepared, but still not completely prepared, so there was some down time. But I'm optimistic that following days will go well.

It was weird seeing people I used to work with everyday around but not working with them.

My (old) project was officially terminated last night. This will mean more layoffs coming up, possibly the end of June. (There was an e-mail that said something about the end of June, but I couldn't tell if that is when they would know how many they needed to layoff or if that is when the layoffs would be.)
