Quit your Bitching!

Okay that title is directed at me...

After receiving some negative comments on my last post about how it can get a bit boring being a stay at home girlfriend i decided that i should keep those thoughts to myself so as not to upset my friends who are out in the workforce.

To combat some of that boredom I have taken on a new challenge of cooking!
Things are going well so far and I haven't burnt down the house which is a very good thing! This week I have made two successfully dinner and a batch of mint chocolate chip cookies - from scratch! Flour, sugar and all that....not out of a plastic tube! For those of you who don't know me, this is huge! Prior to this my cooking resume listed things such as boiling water...crying and pretty much not much else.

I do have to say that my first take at the cookies didn't turn out so well and had to be dumped out. I missed an all important step of combining the sugar and eggs first before adding in the flour...putting it all into one bowl and then mixing...doesn't actually do anything...it remained crumbly and kind of dry! My second take went much better and actually produced cookies. I have to work on my oven timing...the first group in the oven were a little under cooked and the second group were a little over cooked. But they both tasted okay, which is really the ultimate goal, right?!

If I am able to get all my school work done this weekend I hope to continue my cookie baking experiments, as well as cooking dinner. Wish me luck! :-)

Stay at home girl friend -- WEEK ONE

Boring...

Not that I am complaining, it is great not having to worry about working, but it is boring not talking to anyone during the day. I have plenty of school work to keep me occupied, but I find myself getting antsy for human communication.

Of course this first week still feels like I am on vacation...I wake up several times in the middle of the night thinking that tomorrow is the day I have to go back to work.

The other down side is that I don't really have much to blog about...no annoying co-workers to bitch about...I am sure once I get into a regular routine things will get back to normal for me, but for right now things just seem very strange...

SNOW!!
