sick people..

Aerlie woke up this morning with the stomach flu... so shes been sleeping on and off..

i came home after work, she was upstairs.. she came down for a bit, i tried talking to her but shed give me a glare.. so i pretty much left her alone... we did watch some jersey shore when i came back from hanging out with tyley and adam.. sick people annoy me.. i even annoy myself when im sick..

but on other events.. i has a day off tomorrow... im debating if i should just have an x files marathon all day... and see how many episodes i can watch lol.. should be interesting... lol.... if i do it.. or i can work on that calendar ive been pushing off for years.. lol

ya i think the calendar will be a better idea.

anyways i should head to bed..

im still not a fan of the bed...

Stupid bed

I'm not a fan of the temp new bed...

I love my room mates

This is our family picture as aerlie calls it... It's Jeff, Me and Aerlie...

though Jeff annoys me on occasion, and aerlie can be messy... these two people i would say are my most favourite room mates i have ever had... i wouldnt trade them.. :D

Beer Soup

Heres the recipe for the beer soup

1/2 cup of butter (salted or unsalted. i use salted)
1 leek cleaned and thinly sliced
1 Carrot peeled and cut
1 stalk of celery
salt and pepper
1/2 all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of dried mustard
4 cups of chicken broth
1 bottle of newcastle beer
2 cups of sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cups of parmesan
1 pinch of cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon worcestershire
2 table spoons of parsley

(i usually cut up 2 cups of carrots, leeks and celery, just to have more veggies in the soup... you can also add potatoes if you like, i usually add one)

in a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. add leek, carrot, and celery and saute until softened, about 10 mins. season with salt and pepper

stir in flour and dried mustard until incorporated and cook for about 1 minute. add the stock and ale and bring to a simmer over high heat. reduce heat to medium and cook, whisking to break up any lumps of flour, until mixture is slightly thickened, about 5 mintues. add the cheese and whisk constantly until nicely melted, 3-5 mins longer. do not let boil. stir in the cayenne and worcestershire sauce, taste and adjust the seasoning.

and thats it!

tuesday

i had my job developer meeting today, we discussed what i was looking for and what to do when i apply for jobs... so i pretty much apply for jobs and then tell her where i applied and she follows up on it.

im hoping something comes my way.. i need a job... or even a second one...

i also talked to my boss today, she said she was gonna speak with the manager about getting me to help in other departments.. but im going to talk to the manager tomorrow about it, just incase she forgot, because she does do that... its just i can not live off of 16hrs a week..

took the dog for a walk today, it was only for 20mins.. but it was cold..

i think i may go to the library after work tomorrow.... i wants to get me a book

not much else is happening..

babies..

A part of me really wants to have kids, actually cant wait till i have some...

until im at a gathering where a lot of kids are located, then my mind changes.... im not a fan of changing diapers, and the drool...

on other news.. so far on the not being lazy and walk more resolution.. so far so good.. i took a walk on sunday, and one today.. monday i was out and about with friends.. tomorrow i plan to walk to after my meeting with the job developer at the college.

my walk plan is to walk down van norman, then back up tupper.. both are hills, and i used to walk up a hill on my hour walks in toronto.. im gonna time it too.. i may plan to do an hour walk a day.. but probably 30mins in the winter for as its a little cooler.

anyways not much.
