I hate MATH!!!

OK, not really, but I'm sure not happy with it at the moment.

I had to pre-test the other day for the multi-media class I want to take.
I didn't do well on the math section, so I've been studying for when I have to take the REAL test. I did really well on the main part of the test, and even on the computer section with terms and such. Math has just never been one of my good subjects.
I haven't had to use fractions and algebra for decades. Why do I need to test for it now? That's what computers and calculators are for!!!

This morning was great tho. The Bishop came for Baptisms and Confirmations. There were a bunch of them! 30 or so. It was a long service, but what a glorious day! God must have been very happy because He gave us wonderful weather today!

I should have walked when I got home from church, but had to get busy studying math. :(
Hope you got outside to enjoy some of the beautiful weather.

Where did the day go?

I had a long list of things to do today.....

Started out with a benefit breakfast at 8:00 for the Hutto Choir going to Disney soon.
Planned to get busy when I got home, but instead, took a nap.... the day went downhill from there. I did a few things on my list, but not very many!

Maybe tomorrow after church I'll get motivated. Think I'll go to bed soon, so I can get back on a regular schedule. I've been staying up way too late these days, then I don't want to get up!

Hope you are all having a great weekend!

Computer gremlins last night.....

Didn't get to post. Every time I tried to do something, I got the "not responding" message. Finally gave up and went to bed at 12:15 this morning. Had to get some rest from a busy day for another busy day today.

Yesterday was testing for a class I want to take, then a retirement party, then some retirement paperwork for myself, then rushed home to get E and head out to a presentation about our businesses to the Entrepreneur Network meeting in Round Rock.
Went pretty well, I think. We got a lot of good feedback and contact suggestions.

Today started out with getting gas, and making a business contact there, then went to the bank for retirement paperwork from them for deposits, then voted, then job club, then Sprint for a car charger since my phone battery wimped out, then HR to turn in retirement paperwork, then main building payroll to drop off ONE page for them to fill out for TRS, then home to get E to go to a fish fry in Georgetown. I'm even more tired from typing it all!!!

Hope all of you had a great week, and have an even better weekend!

Lots o' soup!

Tonight was the first Lenten soup supper. Ate too much! Only had one bowl, but ate bread, then drank water and it all puffed up!

Today has been a busy day getting ready to show the slideshow of church photos at the soup supper, and to present our businesses to the Entrepreneur Network meeting tomorrow night.

Seems like I did a bunch of other stuff today, but can't recall what.
I did clean off my desk some so I could find things. A little more organized now.
Must go to bed earlier than last night (actually 3:00 this morning).... tests tomorrow. I have no idea what kind of tests. Can't study for them.
Say a prayer!!! :)

Snow Day!

Hope everyone had a great day!

I might have been even more excited about it if I were working and had the day off because of it.
I did get out and take some neat snow photos tho. It was nice to be able to do that when I wanted to.
Took pics of the snow at church, then some kids having a snowball fight.
Got some interesting shots of snowpeople on the field at the stadium.
Then some at the old Lutheran church and cemetery.

Was a really long afternoon of photos and then half price burgers at Sonic where we watched the big snowflakes falling as we ate.

A very good snow day!!!

Learning something every day....

and making new friends.

Went to a couple of good classes today, and met some really neat people.
Had a good lunch with some of them.
We had Chinese.
My fortune was, "You don't have to worry about your future."
That's a good one! I'd like to believe it.

Well, back to work.

Wonderful weekend!

I had an amazing weekend at the church retreat!
Made a great new friend and got to know some others better.
The weather was overcast until this morning, but sunny and gorgeous today! We went to the Narrows yesterday and today. I got some great pics.... well, I haven't loaded them on the computer yet, but they have to be great since it was so beautiful out there with the waterfalls! The other times I've been there, not much water. I love just sitting watching and listening to the waterfall. The power of God right in front of our eyes!
The retreat center is a wonderful, peaceful, spiritual place! I love spending time there! Looking forward to the next retreat already!

Busy week ahead, better get some rest.

Blessings,
Lori
