Mmmm Mmm good!

Eating healthy and dieting means I get to try new recipes.
Lawschoolgonnabe and I had a girls night last night. We made yummy drinks, discovered that even though we may like the olives alot, we do not like martini's. We watched movies. Fight Club was my choice, lsgb liked it, which made me happy. Then we watched her choice, Cruel Intentions, it made me happy too. Then we watched Mr. Brooks. Good movie as well. We also made yummy food.
Here's the recipe from last night:

Thai noodles with Spicy Chicken
thin rice stick noodles
cut-up chicken
brocolli
green peppers
onion
mushrooms
1/3 c. chicken broth
3 tbsp Asian Fish Sauce or soy sauce (we used the soy, makes for a bit less spicy)
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp red curry paste
2 tsp. packed brown sugar

Place noodles in a large bowl of boiling water. Let stand until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain and transer to serving bowl.
Cook chicken in large skillet. Transfer to a plate.
Add vegetables and broth to skillet. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. STir in fish sauce, lime juice, curry paste and brown sugar. Add chicken and cook, stiring until heated through, about 1 minute.
Top noodles with vegetable, chicken miz. Enjoy!

I'd never had curry before, and I actually enjoyed it. This wasn't too spicy at all.

Tonight's dinner was a made up one on my part.

Chicken breast(s)
tomato
mushroom
peppers
onion

Chop up the veggies, throw in on top of chicken breast in an inch or two of water. Add clove of garlic, salt, pepper, basil and oregano. Serve with rice or potato!
It's quite yummy and smells particularly good while it cooks!

Productivity abounds!

Hello!
I've been sending email after email today, just felt that's how I should begin a blog post too.
But it's been a very productive today. It was h4h work day. And I got lots done. I have my penny jars done too! I suck at drawing houses though. Anyways, I know where we're staying now, and I know that we have lots of showers and we don't have to buy any of our own meals! All good news, in case you were wondering. Ooo and the campus chapter from the university there is going to feed us one night, that should be cool! And my worries about money might not be so necessary, also very very good. But I was looking at past year's stuff and I am sooo stunned as to how we got away with as few fundraisers as we had.
Anyways, I now have to move onto school work. I somehow got stuck doing a seminar next Monday. My prof who gave me a horrible mark on my paper last term assigned me the first one of the term. Again. I'm angry with him right now. The mark he gave me on my paper was completely unreasonable, and part of it was because he said I didn't have enough reference, this is because he didn't include the cases and acts that I used because he had said they would count as references. Oh yes, angry am I.
And I have a debate on terrorism on Friday. This is all good and bad. Bad cause its so soon in the semester, but good because March and April will be easy months for me. However, January and February are going to be brutally busy.
Anyways, I think I'm going to order food. I'm too tired to make anything, my head hurts and I'm just being lazy.

"Weekend" in the crazy place

So I went home for a couple days. That was fun. Almost missed the bus to get there, forgot to give my cat food while I was gone, and didnt' turn off my alarm clock.
However it was a good enough time. I had pad thai for the first time. It was actually quite good. I'll looking for somewhere up here where I can get it. Actually, I have Saturday morning off for the first time in weeks so I'm thinking about going to the market, if I can scrape up the money to buy a few things.
I finished the "Fifth Life of the Cat Woman": terribly enjoyable. I was done after only a few hours of reading. I loved it. Was a good feel-good-in-the-midst-of-bad-stuff kind of book. And if you like cats, you'll enjoy it very much. The conversations between the characters and the cats themselves are quite amusing and usually revolve around tuna. If you like history; you'll also like it. The "catwoman" begins teaching history and she teaches what she calls the "latrine version", the version about the ordinary people. I particularly like that aspect of history. I realize that the kings, queens, nobleman and lawmakers have an important place in history but it was most often the ordinary people who make history what it is for us. I particularly like her means of teaching her students. The only thing that made me uneasy was the whole love story thing... and the fact that she falls for one of her brothers in a past life. Little odd but I suppose it was a past life and they arent' blood related anymore sooo...
Anyways, I'm now onto the Hobbit. I'll let ya know how it goes.
I'm on vacation this week. I get two all summer so I chose this week in order to get some time in with "the leaving one" and go home. I don't get another week off like this until the end of August. Then I come back to work the long weekend and then classes begin. Hopefully. Money issues have begun to pose a slight problem and I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do. The choices consist of three: move home (this is not a good thing, this would requiring quitting my program as well as Habitat and that's neither of those are things I want to do, besides I"d go crazy), move into residence (means I have to get rid of Jack and I despise the idea of residence... they make me homesick and its not enough independence) or move and get another roomate (I have no idea who that would be since the only people here I know who would want a roomate are leaving half way through the year and that would leave me screwed, plus I don't want one). So it is a dilemna. Hopefully to be solved by working like crazy for the next couple weeks and working during the school year which chances my very already slim shot at law school.
I had more home and family stories to share but I will share later. Today I clean and finish unpacking a couple boxesl... (yes two months later and they still aren't unpacked).
