Post Script

"My life has been the book I would have writ, but I could not have lived and uttered it both." -Emerson

Post I would have liked to have done and how I felt about them;

1. My oldest daughter graduated from BYU. (Proud)
2. Family vacation in Provo (Fun)
3. Ward from the '80's reunion (Wow)
4. Visit with old Friend (Educational)
5. Quilts (Confident)
6. Primary Teacher Appreciation (Good)
7. Dale just accepted a NEW job (Surprise)

Cracker Barrel

Went to dinner at Cracker Barrel. It felt like Grandma Mason heaven. I ordered the veggie platter with; okra, green beans, pinto beans, hash brown casserole and cornbread. I drank 6 glasses of water and had a great time.
Post more about graduation later.

PMS

I hate the self doubt and tears that I get with PMS. I'm glad my hubby loves me anyway.

Prince William Ward Reunion

I went to high school in northern VA.
Several of my friends from church (in the big 80's) now live in Utah and I've only recently found them on FB. I want to see them so I have arranged for a reunion to cut down on individual visits, makes since? I have received email's from 2 more people who live out of state who are going to try and make it to the reunion! I am surprised and SO excited! I have not seen these people in over 25 years (except Shelly).
What does this say about the Youth programs of the church?
I remember when...

Housework!

A kind small child visiting said, "Your house is dirty". (out of the mouths of the innocent)

We are use to our dirt and after he left we looked around and said "what was he talking about"?
Today I'm kicking around cleaning, so for at least a couple of days, we are clean.

I know how to clean a house well, I just choose not to. I wish my mom could have taught my kids how to clean, I'm not sure that they know how to? I did not clean as well as my mom when I was a kid, so I'm hoping that they grow into knowing how. Is that possible? We'll see.

St. Patricks Day Menu

We don't eat green today. We try to eat as authentic Irish as we can, but the last few years I've leaned we ain't eaten authentic anyway.

Corned Beef (is not from Ireland. The traditional meal comes from New England.)
Irish Potato Candy (originated from Philly to commemorate the potato famine in Ireland 1845-1852)
Potatoes & Cabbage
Irish Soda Bread (authentic, don't forget to knead the dough 12 times to honor the 12 original apostles)

Maybe next year I'll dry green eggs and ham.

Zumba

I have to get out of my pj's and leave for my Zumba class in the next 15 minutes. Do I? or Don't I? I love my pj's and I love my bed!
I don't particularly like this teacher. She's good when she is teaching but she frequently has one student do a very s*xy routine. Lots' of hip action. The teacher also takes lots of breaks and expects us to keep going and she is always at least 5 minutes late starting the class.
Shut up and go.
P.S. I LOVED the brussel sprouts!

Yeah Me!

I am still losing weight with WW! Yeah Me! I made it to the 5% sticker! That means I lost 5% of my original weight. I posted my big sticker on my fridge to remind me to get another one. I am so happy for such a little thing as a sticker. I even had a 25 point Azteca Seafood Chimichanga this week.
I have been working with my youngest daughter in the kitchen this week. She/we have made Maryland Crab Cakes, Hush puppies, and she made Apple Fritters by herself. We had a lot of fun in the kitchen together. Tonight I hope to try the horrible vegetable Brussel Sprouts and some Risotto w/some kind of meat?
