Madgeylou, it's great that you are wanted as a full-time employee. Says a lot about your work.

The only driving I've done for the last 3 days is to the post office & library. Normally I would have walked but it has been very cold here. It's 3 right now. I know for some of you that's a mild winter day lol but we're freezing. Wish we'd gotten our insulation in this week instead of next!

Cooked dinners at home. Ate up the the last of some apple/cranberry crisp for breafast in my plain yougur. Ate leftover baked potato soup for lunch. Last night I tried a new whole wheat pizza crust recipe. Turned out nicely. Fed a couple of Tyler's friends. I'd bought a tub of sugar cookie dough for $1.14 on clearance after Christmas so I baked cookies last night so the guys could have a treat.

One of Tyler's friends spent the night. At 1:30 a.m. I woke up thinking I smelled burning popcorn. Got up and sure enough, Tyler had tried to make popcorn and was scrubbing the pan thinking I'd be mad. I haven't bought any microwave popcorn in months and he's trying to figure out how to make popcorn on the stove. We do have an air popper. I'll have to show him how to use that. It could save me money on pans lol Though I think I'll have him make some on the stove top today to give him some pointers. I have shown him before but it's been a while since then. Of course, he COULD read the instructions on the bag of popcorn. .... Nah, that would be too ... logical.

Drove down to Detroit last Sunday to visit Ian at the Detroit Auto Show. He was there with the solar car team. Going to try posting a photo for the first time. He is holding a part from the solar car and that is the solar car behind him. (if this works )



We were supposed to bring him home for this weekend but he ended up getting another shift at the auto show. So we'll save some gas money and he'll probably have more fun there.

Today I will be going to Meijer to pick up a few things. I should be able to get 4 boxes of cereal for $1.15 each between sales & coupons. I've been craving Cheerios, of all things, so this works out well. Tyler eats cereal for snacks too so this is cheap.

Got $10 in free itunes for buying DH's brand of razor blades. Yeah! Received a $6.93 refund from an over payment on a Dr. visit. That'll go back into the medical envelope.

Found out yesterday that on Monday Tyler's dream college will be evaluating his application. We really liked the vibe we got when we visited the school. Classes are very small, like under 15 usually, which would be great for Tyler. He wants to run for them & it has a great music program. If you pray, I'd appreciate prayers that his application would be favorably considered. And if he's not accepted, that he would be at peace with that. Thank you!
