My kids think I’m insane. I’ve been sitting here cackling at the above posts.
Congrats Bobbio!
I’m in the “meh” camp when it comes to grits. Maybe I just had poorly made grits; I dunno, I wasn’t overly impressed. I ate them the “correct” way with butter and a little salt and pepper.
I happen to love Cream of Wheat. I like the old-fashioned kind that you have to actually cook, and I cook it with milk. When it’s done, I add butter and brown sugar. I haven’t had it in ages though.
Okra is slimy. Okra is teh yuck! Sorry, guess I’ll never be a Southerner.
Hershey’s is NOT chocolate. It is wax. It’s edible if it’s the ONLY chocolate in reach and one is having INTENSE chocolate cravings. Otherwise, only DARK chocolate will do. Lindt and Godiva are good.
My checking account is $130.00 poorer. That’s what it cost me to purchase my daughter’s ASB card, pictures, and annual. God help me when she’s a senior. I didn’t pay for a parking permit (another $25.00) because she doesn’t have her license or a car yet. We still need to get her enrolled in Driver Education.
The actual moving through the stations went very smoothly and quickly. The hold up occurred when she received her class schedule. They had mistakenly put her in Fitness Walking and American Studies II. She already had all the phys ed credits she needs. Also, she took AmStudiesII last year. So, we had to wait for the counselor to get her schedule corrected and adjusted. Fortunately, we were able to get her schedule fixed without jeopardizing the other classes, although she didn’t get to take Sociology, which is what she asked for in lieu of the Phys Ed or Am Studies.
So, she’s taking AP Junior English, AP Psychology, Algebra II, MS Office, German (second year), Anatomy/Physiology, and her Advisory period.
I foresee lots of homework. But, she’s jazzed about the Psychology class and the Anatomy/Physiology class.
Hubby is headed up north after work to get finger printed for the renewal of his CDL. Truckers require background checks now, so he has do this in order to renew his license that is expiring next month. It also cost us $94.00 freakin’ dollars. This will be on top of the cost of the actual license, which is more expensive than the regular license. He has all the endorsements on his license. More money to spend. This is a requirement for his job (the background check), but we won’t be reimbursed for it. Which is kinda sucky. I wonder if we can claim it on our taxes next year.
Well, I’m going to cruise the Dope for a bit.
But I like them as a butter delivery system. It wasn’t until I got older that I realized that my mom treats Cream of Wheat like grits: salt and butter only. Sugar or milk on Cream of Wheat - yuck. Fried Cream of Wheat, fried in butter with salt and pepper, yum!
I’m always so careful, but I always lose a couple of keepers when I’m reorganizing the shelves. Maybe library work isn’t for me, after all.
