Today starts off so well with mom waking me up an hour and a half before my alarm is set to buzz. She either needs powdered sugar (which I didn't have) or for me to go get it. I had a terrible headache and told her so so she said that I needed to come out there and work on the baked ziti prep and she'd go get it. Grumble ( Read more... )

Cake number five- a hit! It was a six inch round cake on top of a ten inch round. The top was covered with roses (which, admittedly, looked more like mums) and very little fussiness to the sides and edges ( Read more... )

Well, I've had my second day with Josh and it has been interesting to say the least. He's still testing my boundaries and I'm trying not to come across as uber-bitch. (I hear you, peanut gallery.) He definitely seemed to warm up to me more today. I just hope this continues ( Read more... )

I have a job. I've known that I was on my way to getting it but I finished my CPR/First Aid training on Friday so I have cleared all the hurdles to begin my employment. YAY! I will be working with Easter Seals/UCP of North Carolina. My job will entail working with physically and mentally challenged individuals in their homes and communities ( Read more... )

And what food there was! Fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, homemade rolls, macaroni and cheese, green beans, slaw, an assortment of pickles, deviled eggs, and ( Read more... )

Don't know why but I felt like updating. I should be getting in bed because tomorrow, if it's cool enough, dad is taking me out to the "range" to do some target practice. Yes, with a gun. And anyone who knows my dad and the meds he's on will shudder. However, this is my time to shoot, not his. For some reason, he thinks I'm a great shot and ( Read more... )

I just got a piece of mail today that made me very happy. Mission Hospital, the place in Asheville that took care of my broken leg, excused ALL of my debt to them. $84,000. YAY! 2/3 of my debt is gone now!
