The boys have their spring jacket and tie dinner in 2 weeks and all I can think of is chicken as an entree. (There will be a vegetarian meal!) It’s not that I can’t be creative with that but I also don’t want the girls ruining their dresses and the boys needing to send their suits to the dry cleaners the next day. Seriously, sometimes I care more about those guys than I do about the food. SO! As for dinner, chicken for sure, green pea risotto instead of regular rice or pasta, and dessert is looking to be along the lines of a carrot cake. It’s spring, right? Rather than having the chaos of the winter dinner’s crazy molten lava cakes (although they were a success), it’ll be easier to make a massive carrot cake, a huge fruit salad and perhaps pick up a couple of gallons of ice cream and let them make sundaes.
Just a couple of more weeks left for me and then it’s off to a nice long vacation with no idea as to what the hell I’m going to do in regards to income. My father is attempting to find land in Puerto Rico to start a tilapia farm and I’ve asked him to bring me along to help him out. If that doesn’t work then I’m really going to find something part time so I can still spend time with Rina. She’s starting to speak a little bit clearer now which is wonderful and fun to listen. I hope she keeps improving having me around her more. Now to bed and to enjoy Marathon Monday no where near the marathon, but perhaps with the little one at a park.
janin–I posted on darlene’s blog, but it was older and I don’t know if you saw it, about the summer. What I do is apply for unemployment for 2 months. Since the frat house isn’t part of the state school system, I qualify for a temporary lay-off, so, I can get 60% or 80% of my salary, I’m not sure which. In Kansas I just go on-line and fill in the forms, then they send me a debit card and put money on it every week. That freees me up to do projects around the house at home, that I don’t have the time or motivation, or energy to do during school, and I don’t haave to get a summer job. You might try that.

i think if you put less meat and more seasoning/sauce in most of the foods, itll cost less and taste a lot better
