Goal for this Week

On Sunday, I mentioned that I needed prayer because of my homework situation. I have fallen behind with homework in some classes and it has been hard catching up. Well, Monday evening I got all my homework done and my test finished for the class I have been most worried about. Now, my goal this week is to get everything else caught up. I have made a To-Do list for the next few days and they are filled. We were going to try to go to the district games on Friday, but unless we start wizzing through everything, I don't see that happening. I told Matt we are going to become hermits and sit home Friday night and get this stuff done. Add in tonight and some of tomorrow night, and hopefully we will be caught up enough that I am satisfied. We have the volleyball tournament on Saturday, and I don't want to be doing homework in between games. So, on Sunday, hopefully I will be able to say "I am good!" (and not stressed)

VERY Proud

I forgot to post this earlier, but I just wanted to say how VERY proud I am of Matthew. Yesterday, in church, he got up and said a few words of inspiration. Now, for those of us who are around him a lot, he likes to say his two cents (even though he thinks they are worth far more :)) all the time. He is usually talking in front of a couple of people and they are his family and close friends. This all changed yesterday when he got up in front of the church to talk. When he started to get this message together, he started to get nervous. We were on the phone late Saturday night and I do believe he went over what he was going to say five times before we got off the phone. I didn't mind. I knew he was nervous and needed to practice. That night, and on the way to church, I made sure to say a special prayer for him because I knew he was very nervous. I think he did a wonderful job and I told him I could not tell he was nervous. He said it was a good thing the pulpit was there because his legs were shaking really hard. I'm glad he got up in front of the church, because like we learned in the movie Friday night, we need to all face our giants. I'm glad Matt stepped out and did something he does not normally do. I just hope when my time comes around I can at least try to do the same good job and represent the class well.

You guys are correct with your brain teaser answers! You each get five gold stars! I have more questions, but want to save them for later dates.

Brain Teasers

Just a few questions I wanted to ask you:

I will help you with your writing,
Probably through me you will see,
But if you want to ship me,
You'll put me right inside of me.
I wear many different hats you know,
In construction plus I'm tracing,
I also do work for the board,
Lots of kids use me for a racing.
You can fold me, tear me,
Rip me without using all your might,
But be careful how you touch me,
I may give you my famous bite.
What am I?

What number, when spelled out, has no repeated letters and has each of the vowels (not including Y) once?

I Impressed Myself

"What's oleo?" She asked the boys putting up the stock.

"Oleo?" They replied. "I've never heard of it. Have you ever heard of this?" They turned and asked some of the other boys crowding around.

"Nope. Why don't you ask Millard? I bet he would know."

Off the cute little couple goes down the aisle.

"Do you know where the oleo is?" She asked the older gentleman putting up the stock.

"Why yes. It's on the back wall."

"By the milk?"

"Well a little further down. It's right before the eggs."

So off the cute little couple goes again. She, totally confused with this oleo business. Him, wondering if he is right about this oleo business (which he was, but he didn't tell her what it was until they found it).

"This is butter and margerine." She tells him when they get back there. "I've looked here and I have found no oleo."

They continue looking until Millard joins them again with a big smile on his face. "Oleo is margerine." He explains. "You must have an old recipe because that's what they called it in the old days."

"Aaaahhhh..." was her reply. "I thought that's what it was." was his reply.

So the cute little couple found their oleo, checked out with the groceries, and headed home to cook supper.
The End

I am officially a master in the kitchen! Well maybe not, but I can say that I finally cooked something that was not Mac and Cheese, Hamburger Helper, or chicken nuggets (those are my other famous dishes). I cooked Italian Crescent Casserole. I had never heard of it. But, the meal was about what Matt wanted and this is what he wanted cooked. There were times when he tried to join me and give me pointers, but I booted him out and said I'm going to do it. As I was cooking, I was a little apprehensive about what was coming together. It turned out great!! Next time, I'm going to change just a couple of things, but other than that the meal was great. Add some chocolate chip cookies, and we just pigged out.

If you want the recipe, it is in the old church cookbook or you can ask me.

I'm Sorry...

It's been a long time, and I'm sorry. I have been so busy these past couple weeks, and when I'm not busy, I don't remember to post anything. Do you remember that post about a month ago that talked about Valentine's Day? Well it's tomorrow and I'm not ANY further along. I do know what I'm going to make Matt, even though I don't remember what it's called.

We have had so much stuff piled on us for homework. Last night we were sitting in class and she asked us if we had an assignment almost finished. I hadn't even started!! I don't think anyone else had either. So I didn't feel that bad... But, everytime I turn around, there's more homework and assignments for us! It's getting kinda bad. I don't think it is as bad as Katy Jane's homework problem though.

I have also realized after bending down and trying to get through the cold wind, I am ready for Spring to come. More importantly, SPRING BREAK!!
