Friday: dice

We were supposed to go camping this weekend with some friends, but it had a high chance of rain all weekend. I am bummed, but we managed to do some fun inside things instead.

Friday we went out to eat, played a new dice game, played a dice riddle, and then played bounce the dice into the cup. It was actually a lot of fun.

Wednesday: an enjoyable day

So work was "fun" today. At the very end of yesterday it was too, but before then it was just ok. I think some of it is that I have a little backlog of work to do, so I have a few options and aren't in constant fear of having nothing to do.

Now it's time for "You think you can dance!"

Sunday: Scarlet 2

Today I got my picture with Scarlet. After that we went to the pool and had a slow lunch.

Saturday: Scarlet

Travis and Allison were in PA this weekend so we went down to visit them and Scarlet, their new daughter.

Ben and Scarlet..

Having fun by the hotel...

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. :(
