Daily Quiz Score: 77

I got my first non-A grade in class this morning. We take a quiz every morning after a short QnA session with Mrs. Follett and I've always (until today) made 100 or greater. The quiz we took Monday, we got back today... I got a 77!!!! O! M! G!

Luckily, no one really scored any better! When we sssllloooooooowwweeeddd down a bit and worked the problems out on paper one simple step at a time, the answer was so totally clear. Lesson learned, Mrs. Follett! We're so gonna totally ACE the mid-term Monday!!

Go US!!!

OMG! ...Really?!

I thought this day started out so well, but I should've known by the way this whole week has gone.

I've gotten very little time in with Grandpa. Monday I had school and had a TON of homework! So, I didn't get over to his house until around 2:30pm and then I didn't stay but an hour or two at a time. Tuesday, I went visiting teaching, so that was all morning and early afternoon. Wednesday was school again and I was able to get my homework done before Grandpa got home from his doctor's appointment.

Then, as I'm getting ready to head over there by about 3pm, I rememebered, I had Achievement Night to get done. So, Wednesday I didn't get to his house until around 8pm. (Cooked some AWESOME catfish, though!)

I decided to stay the night with him because of all the missed time. I woke up at 7am, back to my old schedule... Cool! Went to my house and fed all the critters. By the way, anyone want any Californian Rabbits?!?! I have two breeding pairs and a solid white male. Ready for breeding or ready for the freezer! Anyway...

Then the fun started. My tire was flat and ended up having a concrete nail in it, so it was an easy fix, no new $130 tire needed! WAHOO!

Dad and I drove over to the shop to get the portable air tank, so I could drive to the shop without damaging anything further. I pulled out of the shop and ran over a "piece" of sheet metal that a retard of a lazy man left out! No names mentioned! *cough* ELMER CROSBY *cough*

The "piece" of metal is huge, but so was the grass and I should've remembered it was there...but...anyway, I didn't and the truck got stuck on the back right tire, (because of the pieces that have been cut out).

Busted up the back emergency brake cable... Yippee!! Only $25, so not too bad. Dad decides to cut the metal and catches the grass on fire UNDER the truck. Ggrrrr!!!

(Its 11am by now and I still haven't been by to see Grandpa.)

I need Dad to build me a 3-Rabbit Hutch and we go over to the lumbar stack and start picking up some of the "pre-owned" lumbar pieces we can use and he flippin steps on a nail! A trip to the doctor's office for a Tetnus shot.

Get home around 1:30pm and I'm just now seeing Grandpa! I hate days (this whole week) like that!!!

Anyway, all's well. I probably won't get my hutch today (Dad's last day off) until his next rotation off (in four days). Oh, well... I'll get it eventually, right?

Let's hope tomorrow goes better. And the funny thing is, I'm not that stressed/ticked off/upset. Just going with the flow, I guess...

MoNeY mOnEy MONEY

I was asked the question yesterday, "What would you do with $25,000?" I thought I would have trouble finding something to do with all that dough, but I kind of didn't, once I got going. $25,000 goes really fast!

Okay, here's my budget for the money:

25,000
-6,300

Pay off my truck

18,700
-10,000

To buy this cool pre-fab cabin/house thing which is too darn cute and better than what I have now - not to say I don't love the house I'm in - I'm just saying I could do with something better, ya know?!

8,700
-4,000

Savings!!

4,700
-2,500

Let's not forget tithing!

2,200
-2,000

Towards school

200
-200

To simply BLOW!!! Woo-Hoo!!!

That, my friends, is how I would spend my $25,000! Soooooooooo, all I need now is someone to hand over the cash or money order, because I sure do not want to take a chance with a bad check.

Marital Status Necessary?

"I'm not single! I'm a-vail-able!!"

Yeah, I tried...

I need an attitude adjustment.
