Does anyone have bento ideas?

I have a big list of things to do today! I'm finishing up my last hour at work, and it's SLOW, so I'm allowed to make a quick post complaining about all the things I have to do. ;) I like where I'm working now, but I came in to something a little dissapointing tonight, I was promised a fulltime position here, with an average of around 40 hours a week. The next week they only have me scheduled for 34, then the next for 32. I don't think I will qualify as fulltime if they're going to do that, and that means I won't qualify for insurance.. I'm going to apply to a few jobs just in case, and talk to my manager.

Tonight I'm fixing chili for Alan! We bought ground turkey a bit back and he wants to use it up. I found a neat Rachel Ray recipee online that looks pretty yummy. I started reading through her website and she had some cute packed lunch ideas that got me all fired up to start making bentos again! I want to make healthy things for Alan and me so we have more energy. He has sooo much to do, and has to keep his mind awake to do them well. Do any of you know any foods that help with your memory? Or hell, any cute bento ideas? Or just cute lunch ideas? I doubt he'd get sick of asian-themed food, but I'd like to make a wide range of things. Do any of you pack food anywhere? If you all want I can post pictures of what I make for us, he brought his camerae so I can take pictures when I look at furniture.

I have fallen head over heels for IKEA. Next to Alan and Vernors it is by far the best part of Michigan.

Last night Alan suprised me and came home early! I was really happy because we don't get to spend that much non-stressed-out time together. He took me to Wendys and then to the bookstore! We both nabbed copies of Ted White and Blue (Ted Nugent's new book) and poked through them. It was cute because he reads about the same speed that I do, we'd flip the pages about the same time. I know it's dorky but that made me feel all warm and fuzzy. I also picked up information on their club meetings there, I am going to make good on my promise to myself to push out and meet new people.

Guess I'd better start printing directions on all the stores I want to visit today. I hope you are all doing better, I know that most of my friends are still stressed out/having trouble right now, feel free to call if you want to talk...or if you want to visit.... ():)
