i had written this big long post which i was going to entitle: "fear, adventure, and courage: the story of a power outage at 3 on a Sunday afternoon" but our computer FROZE moments before i was going to save it and i lost it all! i think everyone can relate to the frustrating feeling of loosing a post, or an e-mail. i've come to believe it is one of the most character-revealing tests of all times.
so i'm just going to start all over again. moving forward, no looking back! sorry, the story about our power going out is going to have to wait for another rainy day....it wasn't really that interesting. can be summed up in 2 words NO POWER. there. done.

so i'm going to start by thanking ruth, for the thinking blogger award. *snicker* i'm so honored.

:)

so what now? i don't really know. i haven't been up to too many adventures this week. My mom and dad are gone...so i've been filling in the mother role of our household. :) of course, i couldn't do it with out the encouragement of my 2 big sisters (aka: my 2 other mothers) but today, all by myself, i made banana cream cheese cake, and now supper is in the oven just waiting for when crystal comes home at 5. oh JOY! maybe tomorrow i'll make pistachio!
on the job front there is nothing new. i haven't started looking actually. i've been doing a little here a little there, but nothing permanent. we'll see what happens there.
ok, i've got 5 minutes before crystal arrives and i have to warm up the beans!
