I tried a new recipe today.  I found it here.  And now for a review!

First, I used canned chicken from Costco.  One can did the trick.  (So much easier than cooking chicken ahead of time and then shredding it.)  Second, I didn't have 3 Tbs chicken stock, so I used 1 chicken bouillon cube and 3 Tbs water (approximately).  Then since chicken bouillon ( Read more... )

We went to DI on Wednesday night and bought an exercise bike.  Except the display didn't work when we tried it, so first we put it on hold, ran across the street to a convenience store, bought a 9 volt battery, went back to DI, hunted down someone with a screwdriver, replaced the battery, and tested it again.  It worked.  So we bought it.  Except ( Read more... )

First things first, the A key on my laptop is being fritzy as of late, so I apologize for any missing a's in this post.  It's really annoying.  I think there may be a crumb or something underneath it interfering with its proper function, but alas, I have no compressed air and I'm kind of afraid to pop it off just in case I can't get it back on ( Read more... )

After a bit of a break from the near-constant reading I used to do, I went to the library again for the first time in several months.  No, I didn't stop reading for several months, I just acquired my books from other sources and didn't read quite as much.  Anyway, I made up for it today by reading three.  It was positively delightful to just sit ( Read more... )

6:40am: I seriously contemplate going back to bed.
6:45am: common sense rules and I take a shower instead.
7:25am: I take rhb to work.

We recently upgraded our TV.  This posed some problems when we brought it home...  It no longer fit on the stand thingy we were using previously.  Clearly this was an excellent excuse to rearrange the furniture ( Read more... )

A quick summary of my trip thus far (since I fly home early tomorrow morning, I doubt much will happen after this anyway):

In my dream last night I distinctly remember telling my mother all about how I ate vegetables this week.

It was a really odd dream.  It also involved working at the Office of IT (rhb's job) and printing out a very long power point presentation?  Huh.

Seriously though, I really did eat vegetables this week.  On Tuesday anyway.  It was the "Fruits ( Read more... )

School started.  Ergo, I have no free time anymore.  I spent close to 5 hours doing homework Saturday afternoon... sigh.  And now I'm procrastinating doing at least that much more.  BUT I will say that it's pretty nice only having all but one of my classes 3 times a week (exception: cooking is on Tuesday nights ( Read more... )
