And Time Moves On

Hi, folks. It's me, again!

I've spent the morning making Chex Mix for Josh to take to preschool for snack, reading the news, responding to email and being incredibly ill because I ate a Wendy's cheeseburger last night for supper. (It's the cheese – EVERY TIME I eat fast food's version of cheese, I get sick. Why'd I do this to myself. SHEESH!)

We (Chris, Bee, Josh, Mom and I) spent the day yesterday in Garden City getting tooth work done. Chris and Josh were easy - no cavities, no problems. Bee had a missing filling, three teeth that needed to have sealant put on them and two small cavities. (She didn't even need any anesthetic.) I, lucky me, had to have a crown put on my back molar because it was cracked and giving me a lot of trouble. (I can't believe how much crowns cost! YIKES! Our loverly Blue Cross/Blue Shield doesn't pay for major dental work. Nice, huh.) I didn't think the dentist was ever going to stop drilling.

I've approved my classes for the Spring semester and they don't sound too bad: Technology in Society, Intro to Leadership Behavior, Current Political Issues (that one should be interesting) and Industrial Management. I'll have a busy semester, but I'm looking at that for the next three years anyway.

I think I'll end here, as I seem to be rambling, with an interesting recipe: Mrs. Paxton's Raw Apple Cake, it sounds really good for this time of the year. Let me know if any of you try it and how it turns out.

Things I'll be doing today: Homework, housework, finishing up Josh's Halloween costume (he's a ghost) and pulling out our now dead tomato plants.

Oh, by the way, here's a couple of sites with really wonderful, amazing carved pumpkins: Masterpiece Pumpkins, Ray's Sculpted Pumpkins, & Pumpkin Gutter. Wish I had talent like that, don't you?!
