Better Score, Broken Player, Bob's Hours

Quick post, then off to bed. Yeah, it's late.

See Cornerstone for the Winter Break Highlights for Tuesday.

After sledding today, the car wouldn't start. Just clicked repeatedly. Called Bob, he said get someone to jump it. That worked! I was amazed as I really didn't think that was the problem. So, hopefully all will be well with the van.

Got the taxes e-filed today. Finally. I don't know why I put it off so long, when we get money back! I just hate dealing with numbers.

My job training went better today. Attended the first live meeting session online this morning for some more training and then took another "test" tonight. Did much better than yesterday's. And I felt better today when I found out my poor score from Monday was still better than the average score. I think I will like the job.

Touched up my nails and cut my own hair. Like the hair, but the nails look patchy. They need to be redone. I like how they look and since I will be typing a lot, I figure it will give me something to look at. lol

Didn't Tae-bo today. Too busy and too tired. Didn't go to the Pampered Chef show either, though I wanted to.

Bob got the schedule for next week and he has FOUR days instead of three! YAY! I guess a couple people quit.

Suzy was carrying Emily's CD player up the stairs tonight and forgot the handle was broken. It fell down the staircase all the way from upstairs and busted apart. David to the rescue! He fit it all back together and duct taped it, so that it works. Well, the CD player works anyway. The cassette deck door broke off and was unsalvageable.

Made chicken potpie (Bisquick crust) tonight and it ALL vanished. LOL Also made blueberry crisp with the last of the blueberries from summer. It wasn't as well-received. What will I make tomorrow????

I don't have to go anywhere at all on Wednesday or Thursday, though I imagine I'll need to go at least to the store and library at some point before co-op on Friday.

OK, that wasn't as short as I had predicted, but now I am going to bed. Morning comes early.

Blintz!

So, those cooking magazines have been inspiring. What can we have for lunch today? Ah! Cherry Cheese Blintzes. Never mind that I've never made these or that we don't have any cherries. I have several hours before work and I have a couple cans of raspberries I bought on sale a while ago. How hard can it be?

Well, blintzes are apparently crepes (really thin pancakes) wrapped around a cheesy filling and topped with fruit. OK. We can do this. But I need to rope a kid into helping me since... well, just because. So, I grab James and tell him lunch is a secret and HE GETS TO HELP! LOL

Did you know an 8 year old can make crepes? Neither did I! My dad used to make us crepes on special occasions. They aren't too hard if you have a Teflon pan, but they take FOREVER. And a Day! lol


Doesn't he look proud of himself? I told him I thought he was VERY good at doing these and that not too many kids his age have done it!



















These are the blintzes on the way to the oven. David did the wrapping. He has a "thing" lately about being photographed. I feel a blog post coming on!
