We pulled out the Easy Bake oven today. Our daughter got it for either her birthday or christmas. Did you know that you don’t have to use the pre-made mixes? There are recipes out there that tell you how to make your own mixes. Call me stupid, but I thought that the mixes were special. We made Chips Ahoy chocolate chip cookies (from the mix – I don’t think we’ve quite made it to the level of making our own stuff yet.) We left them in for the specified time, but they turned out a little gooey chewy. Very tastey tho. Not any faster than making the break and bake cookies, but there was bonding in this process.

Today is football day…..ugh. Who invented it? Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with football. It’s just that when I was growing up it was always on TV, so I’m not partial to watching it when I was forced to watch it when I was young. We only had one TV, so if you were in the room, you had to watch it. DH wants me to watch it with him. At first he thought I didn’t want to watch it because I didn’t understand it. I understand it all too well.

I haven’t finished any knitting in a while. That’s sad, I know. I am working on a baby blanket and am thinking about starting on a second one. I know too many people going to have babies. I have also browsed some sites and found some potential projects that I would like to start. It’s just a matter of finding the right yarn. Being on a budget, it will more than likely come down to acrylic. Please don’t throw the stones.

Don’t even start. I know that I said I wanted to work on being more timely in my entries, but there’s been a lot going on. First things first though….

Congrats go out to Alison. Let’s all send girl vibes her way!

Now….what’s all this “a lot going on” you say? Well, at work they’ve moved us to yet another position. We weren’t even out of training and now we’re back in. They told us that we will be in training for about 6 to 9 weeks. We’re supposed to learn functions from every department in the company. We’re the expert knowledge base. It’s been fun so far. We’ll see how it is when we actually start working in Decemeber.

I am done with school. I still owe them a little money, so I don’t officially get my diploma until that’s taken care of. I have to pay $65 on top of that to actually have them send it to me.

We had no air conditioning for 3 days in our house. It just happened to be the 3 hottest days of the summer. Luckily, we know a guy who works on air conditioners. He came and looked at it and it turned out to be that the air and the heater were running at the same time. The air was blowing out at around 80 degrees. He found the problem and now we’re blowing out at 68 degrees!!!!

That’s not all….our septic alarm keeps going off. The breaker shorts out and the pump shuts off. DH changed out the outlet today, so we’ll see if that’s the problem. Keep your fingers crossed. I don’t feel like going out and getting a new pump.
