Hahaha!!
Hey people... I just realised I hadn't blogged for a week, so here goes...
I am readying a Family Circle from November 1993... I am sooo glad that fashions and recipe tastes have changed since I was in year 1. At the time of this magazine being published, it was fashionable to eat pate, even if you hate it (which I do...). It was good to bake stale jatz/water crackers "to give them a new lease of life" (as you do...). Everything was "authentic" with the whole gum leaf decorating anything and everything kinda style. And I'm only up to the kitchen tips page!!
This week has been pretty good. Monday was job hunting during the day, cooking dinner and then Biblestudy. We had a cake for Jon & Lititia's birthdays. I didn't take a photo though!! It was a square cake with bright green icing, and it had farmyard toys stuck on the top, and the tractor to the side, because it wouldn't fit on the cake... (Jon is an aggie and Lititia is a vettie... the farmyard cake was the most fitting cake for the two of them...). Also on Monday night I cooked (for dinner this time) french-onion chops, cheesy macaroni and broccoli and cauliflower. It was good. And I also cooked a chocolate pudding for Mum and Dad for dessert, but I didn't have any time to consume that, cos I was busy cutting up stuff for Biblestudy supper and packing up Aphrodite, Mickey and Blackie. They went home on Monday night.
Tuesday: Childminding at Wagga Baps in the AM, and in the afternoon, I had a skills test at Workforce on Tap. I scored 100% in beginner Excel, 40% for intermediate and 60% for advanced, and for Word: beginner 86%, intermediate 88% and advanced 38%... Someone want to explain that?? Then after that skills test, I went and bought another five fish (2 comets and 3 "feeder fish") because I got a 48L tank given to me while I was away at MYC, and Chalk and Cheese wouldn't venture out into the "vastness" of their tank, so I got some more fish, and now all 7 fish use the entire tank.
Wednesday: Sonlight at Wagga High - we started planning the ExoDay that is going to happen later this term. Then I went down to Christian Bookworld Wagga and bought a few Gospel tracts, a cool notepad, and Rack Shack and Benny VeggieTales DVD (about the firey furnace... inside the Nezzar Chocolate Bunny factory)... Then came home and watched/listened to the dvd three times... Hehehe... I made dinner again... Shepherd's Pie... And it worked!! The meat was browned (there was a stage that it was reminding me of cat food which reminds me of pate...) and the potatoe on top was cooked to perfection. I also did broccoli, cauliflower and carrots to go with it (fresh veggies!! [we usually have frozen...]) Then we went to the Winkler's place to have cake for Hannah's 13th birthday - Happy Birthday Hannah!! Then came home. Woo.
Thursday: I think I stayed home all day. Yeah. I did. I didn't even venture outside. I cooked dinner again: a sausage and pasta tomato-based bake. It was really yummy. Broccoli and carrots for the veggies again. (I am getting a little sick of broccoli...)
Friday: I spent 12 hours at Wagga Baps. I got there at 9am, did music sorting all day, and then at 7 I transferred my thoughts to CrossOver... We had "Back into the Swing" which was a pizza night. Ham & Pineapple pizza is by far the most popular pizza. I left the Church at about 9.15 - more than ready to go home! It was a good day though. We are pulling all the music (sheet music) out of the horrid folders, putting them into manilla folders (one song per folder), labelling the folders, making sure that there is complete copies of the songs (like, all the pages are there) and writing where the song came from (eg: SIS 390 = Scripture in Song, song number 390) and then making sure that it is all legal in terms of CCLI licencing. It is a long process, but there was quite a bit of it done yesterday.
Today: I slept in. Got up. Read the paper. Read a magazine. Played the piano. Had a shower. Started cleaning my room. Come online.
I am going to go laser zone-ing later on tonight though. 8pm to be exact. A group from UniChurch is going. I'm looking forward to it!
Anyway... I am going to continue reading this ancient magazine (I really don't know why it was on the coffee table, and why it caught my eye...)
There was a new WotW this week too: Oblong. New one out on Monday sometime too.
