So can I have a diploma?
Seems like if I can score 90% (and it should have been 93.3%, if I’d bothered to read two easy questions properly) on a quiz that apparently most college seniors, at every school surveyed, failed—seriously failed: 53.7%, on average, between last year and this—I should be able to score some sheepskin.

Cleaning out Grandma’s House
It’s a hard thing to do.
She’s only been gone a month, and I really was hoping that we’d be able to wait a few months more before we had to do this, but since Troy is no longer thinking of buying the house, we need to get it ready for being put on the market. […]

Fits like a Mitt
It’s seemed from what I’ve read that his views match mine the best, so I’m not terribly surprised. I figured it would either be Romney or Thompson.
Others can join the fun here.

My first diet….
I’m 37 years old and I’ve never been “on a diet” before. I’ve never had to be, until now.

We’re getting organized!!!
We’re both very organized people by nature, and we tend to be perfectionists, but you’d never know it by our house . . . I think our house is a mess because we both feel that we want to wait to do things until we have time to do them the right way — […]

Kids woke us up around 7:00 a.m. I was still sleepy and fell right back off, so apparently Carole got them their breakfasts. They watched PBS kids shows and Carole did computer stuff. I got up around 8:30, I think, and after some breakfast played with the kids for an hour or […]
