What a week, huh?</p><p>It hasn't been as hot this week and it's been a little easier to keep my plants alive.</p><p>On Monday, I had made one of the premade lasagnas from Trader Joe's. The guy that works there said they always sell out super fast. I didn't eat before I went to practice, but wanted to make sure the kids had food. Only one kid got food and Buster decided to eat the rest of it. Alli and I didn't get a dinner that night and I wanted to see why they sell out so fast.</p><p>I ran Roller Derby practice on Monday night. We did a lot of endurance type things and fun games. It was a good night and I always appreciate good attitudes.</p><p>I received an award for a paper I wrote in Ecology and Environmental Science. They thought my lesson plan/activity on the Dead Zone in the Gulf of Mexico was wonderful. I might need to include it in my Ecology unit now.</p><p>On Wednesdays, I've been going to my friends skate fit class and love it! I'm going to be sad when school starts again, but she said she's going to try for more evening class times.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZcFB0AuATviK46V4-E9dEA5zv_cCq9qFCIAlunzEw_ho5a-seVPFpgKRXeNpthFoW0fmgIaqA2H9dCcxMb42xHBL0bptFVs_mGURHQ8qOnUpAeBCKrbyEmzSC1L9we8aoBSm4dN1PNThVp2gwDCxxpDDGYt5ao0HMNEEc9uH-FaVs32bCy7Gt2SG_/s320/IMG_3672.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="189" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZcFB0AuATviK46V4-E9dEA5zv_cCq9qFCIAlunzEw_ho5a-seVPFpgKRXeNpthFoW0fmgIaqA2H9dCcxMb42xHBL0bptFVs_mGURHQ8qOnUpAeBCKrbyEmzSC1L9we8aoBSm4dN1PNThVp2gwDCxxpDDGYt5ao0HMNEEc9uH-FaVs32bCy7Gt2SG_/s1600/IMG_3672.jpg" width="189" /></a></div><p>Peyton acquired yet another car. He is going to keep this one though. He wanted to take me for a ride and we loaded the dogs up and went around the neighborhood. Down the main street from our house, we saw a huge bird in the road. It was a vulture. I had to get a picture of it because it reminded me of a Facebook post that I saw. Someone didn't know that vultures lived in Kansas. Vultures are a vital part to any ecosystem.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit0Akmr8i9mTgbA4Ry2PraP0sCY9VnSl2BBHULe-UDD2vbDn4oc_BaqYMaU8Xsi1qJ7T3VYSDpC9Y9ahOXAoHPGLwTYYeKDGG0Kp-sDtp19eWmqDFhR1MNchL9X9iPNqZVOBX-N04bpy7m2HA-W-Kd_sLPiwFASx4No1XyOifoxST4E7ks9b9GYGUJ/s320/IMG_3671.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit0Akmr8i9mTgbA4Ry2PraP0sCY9VnSl2BBHULe-UDD2vbDn4oc_BaqYMaU8Xsi1qJ7T3VYSDpC9Y9ahOXAoHPGLwTYYeKDGG0Kp-sDtp19eWmqDFhR1MNchL9X9iPNqZVOBX-N04bpy7m2HA-W-Kd_sLPiwFASx4No1XyOifoxST4E7ks9b9GYGUJ/s1600/IMG_3671.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><p>Thursday was my once a month payday. First thing, I paid all my bills for the month. It was a little to get used to, getting paid only once a month, but now it's not that bad. I just pay all my bills and know how much I have for the rest of the month. They paid out my unused PTO and I had extra duty pay from a weekend leadership camp that I was a chaperone on.</p><p>I did some shopping, because I like shopping. Haha. I picked up a dress that I will probably wear on the first day of school. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyomoHqnJp2rQfnWzeoBdudNZwop1nGwvznhcHNML7sWo19XjC7312e6VX3-tlq8LnFVJDllj2owUImUvOY_m0stUmpSsLUhtTxl7vwrg1HsFmTsxC9zybukmBgUUOTtHIYpYMDVsFaWAer_96d1L5etBjOv5ARiXTBaKZeAq_6sIEoVU5VL_R3aP4/s693/dress.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="693" data-original-width="520" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyomoHqnJp2rQfnWzeoBdudNZwop1nGwvznhcHNML7sWo19XjC7312e6VX3-tlq8LnFVJDllj2owUImUvOY_m0stUmpSsLUhtTxl7vwrg1HsFmTsxC9zybukmBgUUOTtHIYpYMDVsFaWAer_96d1L5etBjOv5ARiXTBaKZeAq_6sIEoVU5VL_R3aP4/s320/dress.webp" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>I did some work on lesson plans.

Favorite Summer Destinations: anywhere! I love exploring and going to new places, I also love going places I have been before. I love going to Lake Sammamish in Washington and to the beaches in Destin, Florida. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Lobster Two; font-size: medium;">2. Warm or Cold?: Both! The summer we went to Alaska was the best! I loved the weather and enjoyed the colder weather because I knew back home it was crazy hot! I love hot places too, especially places with less humidity than Kansas.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Lobster Two; font-size: medium;">3. This summer I have done a few shorter trips: One to Denver, which I flew there and one for a conference at the Lake of the Ozarks, but I squeezed some vacaying stuff in also. I am going to go to western Kansas for a long weekend and I want to either go to NW Arkansas or an Oklahoma trip. I haven't decided yet. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Lobster Two; font-size: medium;">4. Ocean, Lake or Mountains?: All of the above! </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Lobster Two; font-size: medium;">5. Best travel tips to share? I always give myself plenty of a time cushion, especially when flying. I rather arrive early, then late. Be prepared when traveling by car, don't forget to pack that cooler and extras you might need!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Lobster Two; font-size: medium;">6. Vacation Budget Tips? Not sure....I guess shop around for coupons and deals on tickets and things. I like to see what free things are offered and outdoor adventure type things.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Lobster Two; font-size: medium;">7. Overpacker or underpacker: Definitely an overpacker, but never on purpose! I just can't make up my mind of clothing choices sometimes!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Lobster Two; font-size: medium;">8. Vacation planned in advance or last minute adventures? I want to do both, but mostly mine are planned way in advanced. I like to research and come up with a logical plan!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Lobster Two; font-size: medium;">9. Group vacations or immediate family only: I like to stay with friends, but the traveling part, I do alone. I like family vacations, but I really enjoy solo vacations! lol</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Lobster Two; font-size: medium;">10. I do not travel with our pets. My dog is a ball of anxiety and I cannot even imagine taking him on a road trip. </span></div><p></p>Morgan Cartwrighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07178122106812607258noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530861955875581027.post-34489262605042531432022-06-28T10:08:00.000-05:002022-06-28T10:08:02.018-05:00Alli's Graduation :: 2022<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhl2uS-QF5d82uuSq1iUNB4pZCD9XPLsAzZ7T8pVX1WJBM5q473aWdHQz6A_9pXpZylhxEVfxCB7ivsp51GMuv20LmbNybNi4i52AWyvImqQrfbosdUcB4I1RJR9tjFcXfuYabnlFmJQNLq2lky8ocs7mKgvY7cNCUfeq4ldgtxm_S_I3jlc9sMV0e/s320/IMG_3069.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhl2uS-QF5d82uuSq1iUNB4pZCD9XPLsAzZ7T8pVX1WJBM5q473aWdHQz6A_9pXpZylhxEVfxCB7ivsp51GMuv20LmbNybNi4i52AWyvImqQrfbosdUcB4I1RJR9tjFcXfuYabnlFmJQNLq2lky8ocs7mKgvY7cNCUfeq4ldgtxm_S_I3jlc9sMV0e/s1600/IMG_3069.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Lobster Two; font-size: medium;">Alli graduated in May of this year!

How is your summer going? It's been so hot and stormy around here. It's better today though, Buster will actually go outside and not fight it. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Lobster Two;">I love having the summer off. I don't feel super productive, but why does one always need to be productive? :) </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Lobster Two;">I have three more papers to write to finish up my Masters. This has seriously taken so long, but everyone moves at their own pace and I took a few years off. I plan on finishing them up this week and being done. I get a pay raise once my transcript is finalized, that's the end goal, right?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Lobster Two;">This weekend was the final House team game for Fountain City Roller Derby. My team came in third. I feel like I played my best game ever and my team did amazing. I cannot wait until the next House season. We had a huge crowd come out to support the league. All-Gender games start in July. I am on a new team, the Regulators. I look forward to getting to know everyone and having fun. I am still a part of training and I've taken on a few more volunteer duties, like recruiting volunteers for games and writing the newsletter. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Lobster Two;">How was your weekend?</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUlqWA0yV3sQTytv-18XB7wIfnCVuET3rv_VGunt1NGuHZ9Tv4S33XiK6zQGtuhDKTFyLS0yovnhkjqhpnbVjTg0W91HusZkiXg4vo1rNZDd_dzi9I8-U72H8OxMAaozpzmwX1OfFoPkCBCH5Q1p2HzMLWdAWA4emkRcq6a2lSgFVxUP4pTTLCzDlz/s1800/2A6B5EFF-2F48-4960-95C9-BD9D77C35CA8.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUlqWA0yV3sQTytv-18XB7wIfnCVuET3rv_VGunt1NGuHZ9Tv4S33XiK6zQGtuhDKTFyLS0yovnhkjqhpnbVjTg0W91HusZkiXg4vo1rNZDd_dzi9I8-U72H8OxMAaozpzmwX1OfFoPkCBCH5Q1p2HzMLWdAWA4emkRcq6a2lSgFVxUP4pTTLCzDlz/s320/2A6B5EFF-2F48-4960-95C9-BD9D77C35CA8.JPG" width="256" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4bLI56uBB3EtxDLoaCHt4eW2cgR4yuGbn-oKtb-9_cJ_BiiRcNFA8E-acRHbO52MqbotyGB3krK9LkomirSrYghdadZmZTA6U6X1Nd2o-HAi61uehGXO6NHgnZzpq2yVQ8FtZfe5QQkllSAgotFbT-LzmqByHHwt0YS5_yiMwIVMtnKMZion6l8MW/s320/5240CD06-5AA2-4D88-A902-45E2B4BDFB28.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="256" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4bLI56uBB3EtxDLoaCHt4eW2cgR4yuGbn-oKtb-9_cJ_BiiRcNFA8E-acRHbO52MqbotyGB3krK9LkomirSrYghdadZmZTA6U6X1Nd2o-HAi61uehGXO6NHgnZzpq2yVQ8FtZfe5QQkllSAgotFbT-LzmqByHHwt0YS5_yiMwIVMtnKMZion6l8MW/s1600/5240CD06-5AA2-4D88-A902-45E2B4BDFB28.JPG" width="256" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZmyPK4WywHN1quxVwToHIk7TJ-j6-oGNexs78bHlWN5L5P_Z9E92ys2-iYhanjCM4Q-r4S0YbWcNfhJfqf1rp8ZzGXuVJeQa_NVWX4BGxENjH11v7V3rUiW4nKQNV8pB2Uu8-KLbHpDia5pVRNmoqY51YZAZNeu-aNaBkZr67njWrpamsux9sFmB1/s1800/33187C13-5D23-40EA-BA4E-24902A8D1B63.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZmyPK4WywHN1quxVwToHIk7TJ-j6-oGNexs78bHlWN5L5P_Z9E92ys2-iYhanjCM4Q-r4S0YbWcNfhJfqf1rp8ZzGXuVJeQa_NVWX4BGxENjH11v7V3rUiW4nKQNV8pB2Uu8-KLbHpDia5pVRNmoqY51YZAZNeu-aNaBkZr67njWrpamsux9sFmB1/s320/33187C13-5D23-40EA-BA4E-24902A8D1B63.JPG" width="256" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTnsmlvgwttIJqbvs77K0tgV2ME6UEg4Cp8ZLFo3Q2_JcMaP0Kbrf8_QkgkzP_gEBlqvWjVTLi2-ruzivSR_-gV88QmMvftkg5OSK24xLwMajcIxxbxURhRU7VDwzrYwbVEtLeWqLguyArdMsVEYMeGsiFVIjS9jjECY5Dw9nGHN1TGqow07vP2W_T/s1500/CA105341-41B8-4B68-ADAE-AAB3FBC78267.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTnsmlvgwttIJqbvs77K0tgV2ME6UEg4Cp8ZLFo3Q2_JcMaP0Kbrf8_QkgkzP_gEBlqvWjVTLi2-ruzivSR_-gV88QmMvftkg5OSK24xLwMajcIxxbxURhRU7VDwzrYwbVEtLeWqLguyArdMsVEYMeGsiFVIjS9jjECY5Dw9nGHN1TGqow07vP2W_T/s320/CA105341-41B8-4B68-ADAE-AAB3FBC78267.JPG" width="256" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Lobster Two;"><br /></span><p></p>Morgan Cartwrighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07178122106812607258noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530861955875581027.post-19322399228406077002022-03-14T16:43:00.003-05:002022-03-14T16:43:45.270-05:00Hello Monday!<p> Hello Monday! Spring Break is here! What did I spend my first day doing? Mostly sleeping and resting....but I have a good excuse! I got back around midnight from a five day trip as a chaperone to the East Coast. It was an Ivy League college tour + New York Sight Seeing. We started in Boston and ended up in New York.</p><p>It was exhausting, but so much fun. I have a few takeaways that I will post later. Here are a few pictures I took. </p><p>Yale is better than Harvard.</p><p>Unlocked achievement: Driving through NYC in a snow/sleet storm.</p><p>Also: visiting Liberty Island in a snow/sleet storm.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEionFmo4hFyszdPHguiDPRERovjmrnYj94ogLU4L_z5y_KATFF0noe76d3YYDDjqqxvHGkowT4cTnBTcDvdbu5RjT_mf8gkq4j199-rMKhoUh7wsawlG-jwuGNilbDo7dElpMcdlWlyO3beWGzEC6tLecViUjW3zCEhC3BTncwo_MaY_7dIbDeaJhwf=s320" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEionFmo4hFyszdPHguiDPRERovjmrnYj94ogLU4L_z5y_KATFF0noe76d3YYDDjqqxvHGkowT4cTnBTcDvdbu5RjT_mf8gkq4j199-rMKhoUh7wsawlG-jwuGNilbDo7dElpMcdlWlyO3beWGzEC6tLecViUjW3zCEhC3BTncwo_MaY_7dIbDeaJhwf" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjjZ-JtBVa_jmrwKtVrmXZbZvjDi8MmMxSZKwqfSW1gdNc3-wDDDSLoZLmeltVziCMkagJ5OW2i-06lGu-4jbHepZmPRD9fJgPAkbN0gqRXCZsmSKDW5GJQMmYtRqBcwN8FB05kbSfNlth4TYStMH4QBNYwD0OI7WUKWwW9yiEphAIO8jDBWmHlhgQq=s320" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="320" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjjZ-JtBVa_jmrwKtVrmXZbZvjDi8MmMxSZKwqfSW1gdNc3-wDDDSLoZLmeltVziCMkagJ5OW2i-06lGu-4jbHepZmPRD9fJgPAkbN0gqRXCZsmSKDW5GJQMmYtRqBcwN8FB05kbSfNlth4TYStMH4QBNYwD0OI7WUKWwW9yiEphAIO8jDBWmHlhgQq" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgN_28UCUv3V5bjnpA5HDnYwUxaYyW-TXvwf69HWRXB99Jdsj9i6tC7Gi0lbiNtnMCrmd0nw9Yo4ezws6UB8QvWMyOPWu14gwMLCGEpQyAhIDZONoG4cgU-XsGqQg_Gs5_bkIBuRaxfeDPX1oPpPniVxEh1ga-h8KblCOzlrJ_q5SIq5x6Kt_0k5K73=s320" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgN_28UCUv3V5bjnpA5HDnYwUxaYyW-TXvwf69HWRXB99Jdsj9i6tC7Gi0lbiNtnMCrmd0nw9Yo4ezws6UB8QvWMyOPWu14gwMLCGEpQyAhIDZONoG4cgU-XsGqQg_Gs5_bkIBuRaxfeDPX1oPpPniVxEh1ga-h8KblCOzlrJ_q5SIq5x6Kt_0k5K73" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjh_uWsJotv-ZK4j60TbZ23flx_Fz2wh-Z7FjMwS2GXowU5lSTrP_U-YsWB3wWit8dj-OxN9vF7EV67hJ542cgVTQYhdOJRTTEaso_ujAW-YLhHlEsJ0ibbBQTJfPK8stnjnsbmfOzkfkgy8Sj8i7JzBdJZowmlFYWrxNCH712K8BD1ufr-P-2zF5rC=s320" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjh_uWsJotv-ZK4j60TbZ23flx_Fz2wh-Z7FjMwS2GXowU5lSTrP_U-YsWB3wWit8dj-OxN9vF7EV67hJ542cgVTQYhdOJRTTEaso_ujAW-YLhHlEsJ0ibbBQTJfPK8stnjnsbmfOzkfkgy8Sj8i7JzBdJZowmlFYWrxNCH712K8BD1ufr-P-2zF5rC" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiYl9L3JFL6MYdGP3GMCOfxpfyiMRD9Eh6nvWLmf0JBZRNB5nY6ifXAs97y1PHfxXwSH43bv9_vuS4-SCFf-tWo3Sua6UoFheJzwww8ODV-KokByrnGt9FsiHCPJfmYlS58AKiXtQCdWqy1Zvz0tRnu-Pd2K7RGGjcvIvx1gcqNYq21Pyk0E9wDJ54y=s320" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiYl9L3JFL6MYdGP3GMCOfxpfyiMRD9Eh6nvWLmf0JBZRNB5nY6ifXAs97y1PHfxXwSH43bv9_vuS4-SCFf-tWo3Sua6UoFheJzwww8ODV-KokByrnGt9FsiHCPJfmYlS58AKiXtQCdWqy1Zvz0tRnu-Pd2K7RGGjcvIvx1gcqNYq21Pyk0E9wDJ54y" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I hope everyone has a happy Monday!</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p>Morgan Cartwrighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07178122106812607258noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530861955875581027.post-18783185337809324582022-01-18T06:00:00.043-06:002022-01-18T06:00:00.215-06:002022 Goals + Meal Plan<p><span style="font-family: Voltaire; font-size: medium;"> Whew!

I woke up to the most unusual dream. I had a dream that I was in a old house, but no longer lived there, and I look up to see my car being driven down the road at a high rate of speed. I have a tracker on my car and the person drives to Wisconsin and I follow them. I live in Kansas. I'm not sure how I followed them since my car was being driven by a thief. I had to look it up and it means (amongst other things) that it can be a sign of a conflict of interest. I will lend that to agreeing to come to a meeting this evening for a group that has given me a bit of emotional drama and I don't want anything to do with them any longer. I spent two years in leadership for the group and honestly, it was miserable. I dedicated so much time and energy to making things run correctly and was treated like crap. Okay, done with the heavy stuff.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Cabin;">It's a day off! I made a list of things to get done and I've started checking items off. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Cabin;">I finished my Cellular and Molecular Biology class. I spent so much time studying for the final exam and I'm pleased with the results. It doesn't give you the exact number of items you missed, but my guess is 1 on the cell cycle portion and 2-3 on the other two sections. This is my last objective exam for the Masters program and I'm jumping for joy!</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEicxXZR_x_oQx4uT7RPPyvgC1WwBR_t50n4sFhnTHsLkpv-JDnjOf0_IuZBZaniXjnqZwyuLAIC2rXnd0815f1r_P07MuTskBR2Gu-ElsgJ1S0B0c1jG6j4UpjcLxKfSehVXSWik0o4lPPwfsvqRz_6tvaKaASo5Q8OmBt9dIPEkxUBjZ5RclM-PiES=s320" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Cabin;"><img border="0" data-original-height="192" data-original-width="320" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEicxXZR_x_oQx4uT7RPPyvgC1WwBR_t50n4sFhnTHsLkpv-JDnjOf0_IuZBZaniXjnqZwyuLAIC2rXnd0815f1r_P07MuTskBR2Gu-ElsgJ1S0B0c1jG6j4UpjcLxKfSehVXSWik0o4lPPwfsvqRz_6tvaKaASo5Q8OmBt9dIPEkxUBjZ5RclM-PiES" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Cabin;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-family: Cabin;">I am working on my Zoology class and set a deadline to be done with the tasks by the end of this week.

He moved out last Friday and they picked up the trailer full of stuff yesterday. He hasn't even put his house up for sale or anything. His girlfriend moved in a few months ago and they are expecting. He told me a while back that he planned on moving, I just thought he would go through the normal processes of selling the house first, lol.

Did you know Tarot started out as a card game for rich people in the 1500s?? There are directions somewhere on YouTube on how to play the card game. I am going to look it up sometime. The class was super interesting. We got a deck of cards. I am up to four Tarot decks now. Weston Wine Company is also themed like Harry Potter at the moment, so I had to try some Butterbeer and a Butter Beer Sorting House cupcake. Both were delicious.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiPM_o_M9CLi8dVvPoz8faFEk4l-_y_EKiSrCdIbOsp5MY4WLpaun8cWQPQLQTYWW9UbmSEAUmDR0Xz_zGXaq3763C9rH5_iGPSXagNUNXgeMKvPEKAqvjRnFccJ6L-GoM4AebypCLE-uTuv0tny5OWr1JKIE6tqSee5A1dDhNt9RwHBArC7IPa_oKr=s320" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiPM_o_M9CLi8dVvPoz8faFEk4l-_y_EKiSrCdIbOsp5MY4WLpaun8cWQPQLQTYWW9UbmSEAUmDR0Xz_zGXaq3763C9rH5_iGPSXagNUNXgeMKvPEKAqvjRnFccJ6L-GoM4AebypCLE-uTuv0tny5OWr1JKIE6tqSee5A1dDhNt9RwHBArC7IPa_oKr" width="240" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgdortW2MqXkp00LJnMSUbbQK6hU0k7lQ_THi5mJKW-fzd6xsHCZiSbMzTKKdKwBzT3zMuukBWc0bI4IFztjmuHYD737tj01urKxYimPg-cEJOdTV62KR9UTKi-rsYzuqJN1y6CS4p--eY7vdFEEW7kG2Ar6-uo7C5Fm4Ue_DL8uPg4HYntNlrWLF6B=s320" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgdortW2MqXkp00LJnMSUbbQK6hU0k7lQ_THi5mJKW-fzd6xsHCZiSbMzTKKdKwBzT3zMuukBWc0bI4IFztjmuHYD737tj01urKxYimPg-cEJOdTV62KR9UTKi-rsYzuqJN1y6CS4p--eY7vdFEEW7kG2Ar6-uo7C5Fm4Ue_DL8uPg4HYntNlrWLF6B" width="240" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;">The Card I pulled for today is very fitting, considering the weather and not wanting to go anywhere. </span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgaplzMeHqUgceNwTgAMxCApz85TS_6h1y-FN-IsBcuBSrDrq2fdAUpd4o3hKkMKTUQYPXr7iVDmwz5VeCboy34oc6OShUzbfZOt-LS1VCf_1rsx7gM8FrpqH7LpP_e4FpppmLSCun70t1rpd_LE84X5WTvLoOPoH-UYyv_erEYPA3AZJZRyHFNF6ty=s320" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"><img border="0" data-original-height="216" data-original-width="320" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgaplzMeHqUgceNwTgAMxCApz85TS_6h1y-FN-IsBcuBSrDrq2fdAUpd4o3hKkMKTUQYPXr7iVDmwz5VeCboy34oc6OShUzbfZOt-LS1VCf_1rsx7gM8FrpqH7LpP_e4FpppmLSCun70t1rpd_LE84X5WTvLoOPoH-UYyv_erEYPA3AZJZRyHFNF6ty" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;">Wednesday evening was our first team scrimmage!

Basketball coaching is exhausting and I feel I don't know what I am doing half the time. The girls are nice for the most part, but basketball isn't a priority for them. I think for the game tomorrow, we might have 8 players. I am grateful for that. (we have 12 on our roster officially). </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Oxygen;">I put some chicken with buffalo sauce in the instapot and I'm waiting for potatoes to cook. I am going to make some shredded buffalo chicken potatoes. I've never had them before, so I am hoping they turn out well. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Oxygen;">Since it was still daylight when I got home (I leave when it's dark and get home when it's dark), I was able to take all the trash to the curb for pickup. I forgot last week and have had to clean stuff up multiple times because the creatures of the wild enjoy the trash a lot. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Oxygen;">I have practice tonight, we are doing a scrimmage, the first one as a team. I'm excited. On Monday night, we had pictures for the program.

It's tough and I teach Freshman, but I love it. I don't love all the parts, but I do love most of them. This week, we are finishing up our big cells unit. We did some Cell Cycle activities earlier this week and worked on Cell Regulation and Cancer today. Out of all the sections, the one that has peaked the most interest has been the cancer portion. It's probably more relative and they have heard/know more about it. We are going to have a big test after the holiday. They will have a day just for test review and to go over anything they want. I have a fun online escape room for review. I love Cells! haha and they are so fun to teach. One of the other science teachers went around and gave us big boxes of the Immune Max. I'm not sure how well it worked since our Chem teacher was out today and I got to sub. I enjoy that group of students though. (And we get paid for subbing now! Which is why I didn't mind as much this time)</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiAlKj9g3nb0qgSRnUQOT6lzbs2t7QdHRxJB7i9dWajq3NJP6jHYT7X49MJy6wDzik22id2b8j0iq-JoQXgMTcHi1XsrLWOBWEmIepfsSSWH1zJQ04MmmW_ZfFGkNXAy4lWCCNcJe2RSqhKckFG6oK-0GSzfAM_RCtupjTeUyGpB068ZqS9mDJWY4WY=s320" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiAlKj9g3nb0qgSRnUQOT6lzbs2t7QdHRxJB7i9dWajq3NJP6jHYT7X49MJy6wDzik22id2b8j0iq-JoQXgMTcHi1XsrLWOBWEmIepfsSSWH1zJQ04MmmW_ZfFGkNXAy4lWCCNcJe2RSqhKckFG6oK-0GSzfAM_RCtupjTeUyGpB068ZqS9mDJWY4WY" width="240" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-family: Oxygen;">I want to introduce everyone to my Tux. He showed up in my backyard in June/July time last year (Ferret the feral showed up not too long afterwards). I started feeding Tux because he looked so sad. Like he was dumped or something. I think he was. It took about 3 weeks for him to warm up to me, so I could get him in a kennel to have him checked out. When I took him in I found out he is a 16 pound, neutered cat with no microchip. Obviously, I had to keep this boy. (Don't worry, I posted first trying to find an owner). I got him tested, vaccinated and microchipped. He's my forever cat now. He's the sweetest. The other cats are fine with him. They even cuddle. It's the best.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjUlhwJ9BQPAVgODCDTi9UvHP5SRDD9jz8RTNIAleuuzeKR1TrwCKYFIVMUf5EcSB7n4lSs0WZ24CcMR8ofUrSovGTDoRWZMIHTd1rqNENmh42b_20uwCcIPY7Y2qE1F4nKBRrA3qFVuNqULoLzVE30XXtP-sCI2N6bmq7TqCqXKELRs_HD5zkF1JZJ=s320" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="320" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjUlhwJ9BQPAVgODCDTi9UvHP5SRDD9jz8RTNIAleuuzeKR1TrwCKYFIVMUf5EcSB7n4lSs0WZ24CcMR8ofUrSovGTDoRWZMIHTd1rqNENmh42b_20uwCcIPY7Y2qE1F4nKBRrA3qFVuNqULoLzVE30XXtP-sCI2N6bmq7TqCqXKELRs_HD5zkF1JZJ" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: Oxygen;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Oxygen;">How's your week going?</span></p>Morgan Cartwrighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07178122106812607258noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530861955875581027.post-45355858549439259222022-01-06T10:23:00.002-06:002022-01-08T10:32:32.852-06:00Hodgepodge Questions: January <p> <span style="font-family: Coming Soon;">I saw this posted on another blog and wanted to take a swing at the questions.

But it didn't happen, some people didn't get any in our area. I got around a half an inch. What we did get through is the cold. That bitter, bitter cold. So cold that I had 30 students missing between all my classes. That's a lot! It's almost a 1/3 of them. I'm anticipating finish my Master's Degree in March (I wanted it to be February, but sigh, it's not going to happen). I'm anticipating fun things in the future! Not sure exactly the fun things, but fun things.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Coming Soon;">Here is a picture from New Years Day, when we did receive a bit of snow.

I have three stacks of 30 books each. I am going to read the first 30, then move on to the next pile. This is not all of my books. It's just a way of organizing to get them read.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Coming Soon;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Coming Soon;">I made some delicious biscuits and gravy.

It was a pretty ordinary day. I picked up some photos from CVS, ran to Party City to pick up a masquerade mask (because the dogs decided to eat the one I already had.), met Sue for lunch at Margarita's and went to a Murder Mystery Night.</p><p>The Weston Wine Co. (about 40 minutes from my house) hosts quite a few events. I had attended the 1920s themed murder mystery night back in the summer. I ended up being the murderer. I was a famous actress and I offed a journalist who wanted to reveal way too much about me. It was such a fun night. Everyone dressed up and afterwards, we all had drinks down the street at the St. George Hotel bar. </p><p>I ended up signing up for the NYE event. My sister and brother in law were originally going, but my mom got exposed to COVID at work and was not able to watch my nieces. I went by myself. I enjoyed my wine tasting. Got a sample of the hot spiced wine. It was yummy, but strong. I ordered one of their wines, the Genie in a Bottle, to enjoy during my time there. I got their cupcake sampler; gingerbread, eggnog and hot chocolate flavors.</p><p>This group was smaller than the first one I did. It was supposed to be a masquerade/formal attire keeping with your character. I was disappointed that about half the people didn't do the masquerade thing and one group showed up in jeans and leggings. I am so glad everyone else was fancy though. While we were supposed to be up discussing the clues, the non dressed up people were not staying in character and one of them didn't even get up to speak to anyone. Like, how are we supposed to get that person's clues?!? lol</p><p>My character was a paranormal investigator. I got a dress that had ghosts and pumpkins on it. I printed up some ghosts pictures and got all in character. It was so much fun. I'm sure they thought I was over the top, but aren't you supposed to be in a mystery night? Too bad my sister wasn't there, we would have been all dramatic together. </p><p>I had a fun time and the story was a good one! I was surprised by the ending. I will probably do another one later this year.</p><p>Have you ever attended a murder mystery? How'd it turn out for you?</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj7n8YvvxaY4IKzDE9zdz3HDJM7y52aq5jvikhWRUBEl3danrZHCMas5Ocy863uf6aRiHpM9HXgXBz9BmKSgggipeGJECILkaLCHL9kPr5FF86UBV8qVAd9mJO4QSZe2_uDKF7MPpmG4cq4HMvnP4wspPaJHTtpOfaCUYN3r7uX5IyGEtUDLAOU15e5=s320" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Does it even work anymore??</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Philosopher;">Hello, hello everyone! It's been a while. I'm not sure if there is anyone left to read. I've been reading and lurking. A few people have stopped the blogging business and others I subscribed to have made their blogs private. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Philosopher;">2021 was an interesting one for sure. But we did it, we made it! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Philosopher;">I don't really have a recap. I didn't stick to my word of the year. I don't think I will pick a word of the year for 2022, I will end up forgetting about it and be disappointed when I finally do remember it, because I didn't act upon it. Maybe the world should just pick a word....like Kindness. Everyone just be kind and nice to one another.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Philosopher;">I did land my dream job. Finally. After a million years. More on that later.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Philosopher;">I had a corporate job for about 9 months full time and 3 months part time cause I couldn't abandon my coworker/friend. It was sad that I got paid for three full days for Thanksgiving, even though I was part time for three months before that. They averaged your number of hours worked that year and decided your pay. After three months part time, I was still at an average of 42.5 hours per week. So sad and not a brag. I was not cut out for the corporate world.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgd6h2B0mmjDCIaFMNeOy_K77TcSQeZoitV4PBYqfQ_s7A7EyJ6gXXv9McsZaDxLTiFRvdQfm20Dz1wxJx5MFz-LBrHoEt-DD0cO7rHR0fNOIsR5tuIAj5fkIcZTb-fySbecjE0Q0uQRzshI6adfb8ibXaKJ-8gGMJHoZbXyMQj70wo3NlGPKeMbhLW=s2304" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2304" data-original-width="1728" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgd6h2B0mmjDCIaFMNeOy_K77TcSQeZoitV4PBYqfQ_s7A7EyJ6gXXv9McsZaDxLTiFRvdQfm20Dz1wxJx5MFz-LBrHoEt-DD0cO7rHR0fNOIsR5tuIAj5fkIcZTb-fySbecjE0Q0uQRzshI6adfb8ibXaKJ-8gGMJHoZbXyMQj70wo3NlGPKeMbhLW=s320" width="240" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Philosopher;">I re-entered Grad School. They changed the requirements and about half of my earned credit hours don't count for the degree, but they do count towards certifications, whatever that means. I have to complete additional classes, which aren't difficult, it's just difficult to find time to get them completed. (But time is being found to do so)</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Philosopher;">Someone dumped a cat in my woods. He's now my cat and lives in my house (after all vet precautions, of course). He's a 16 pound Tuxedo cat named Tux. See what I did there?!? :) I'm up to three cats now and I'm not sad about it.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Philosopher;">My car is paid off, guess I crossed that one of my things to do in 2021 list. Yay?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Philosopher;">Alli is doing a few dual credit courses and hopes to become a dental hygienist. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Philosopher;">Peyton is money savvy and enjoys making it. He's a sophomore now. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Philosopher;">Tanner is working on obtaining his dream job. Slowly, but surely, he will get there.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Philosopher;">I quit one derby league and went back to my original league. I am no longer in any leadership positions and I NEVER WANT TO BE AGAIN! Skater only for me!<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Philosopher;">What's been going on in everyone else's world? </span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Morgan Cartwrighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07178122106812607258noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-530861955875581027.post-69591366560768755842021-05-14T06:00:00.001-05:002021-05-14T06:00:00.195-05:00Five on Friday! <p>Hello, hello Friends! </p><p>1. Guess whose back, back again? Tanner's back, tell a friend. After nine months away, he is back in the country. He is busy applying for jobs and honestly, I'm not sure what else.

It's about school. It will still be a hybrid schedule....but....the kids will be able to switch classes four times a day! I am so happy that Peyton might have a little more normal Freshman year. I know I got a message from his Auto Services teacher that he asked to principal if he could do small groups in the shop and the principal wasn't opposed. Peyton will actually get to work in the shop. I feel like auto repair is a valuable skill one can have. He has a B in the class, so he will be eligible to go. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: Lobster Two;">I had planned to take my Grandpa grocery shopping on Saturday, but the side roads were still pretty bad, so we postponed until Sunday. I ended up doing the shopping for him. The risk of him slipping on the ice outside was still there and not worth taking the chance. We had a small lunch together and watched some TV. He had the gift I got him out. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyjswNOrf-AYyhVto7jNhm9hn8Yfd32wjB5xhR-8fcw4mZAJ7XtP-n4h9nzGumU8TRqP2RgETAEQeqvY1-32qVM4YMFSIRreWFYQWL3NIzJ7Dx3-VNAmx27EnhwnrnFbQPM7M1iVLCkNo/s320/IMG_8082.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyjswNOrf-AYyhVto7jNhm9hn8Yfd32wjB5xhR-8fcw4mZAJ7XtP-n4h9nzGumU8TRqP2RgETAEQeqvY1-32qVM4YMFSIRreWFYQWL3NIzJ7Dx3-VNAmx27EnhwnrnFbQPM7M1iVLCkNo/s0/IMG_8082.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Lobster Two;">My sister came over with her husband and kids to visit for a bit. We all headed to my mom's house for our postponed New Year's Day lunch. The champagne that was highly recommended from the Trader Joe's gal was a bust (everything else she recommended has been good though), so we opted for cheap champagne and orange juice.

It made me cry, but the ending was so good and I am glad it turned out the way it did. I have also finished a book called "The Snow". I like the idea of the book...but the dialogue was atrocious and a tad bit of character expansion would be nice. The author actually has four more books in the series. I'm indifferent in wanting to purchase them. Do I want to know what happened? Sure, but not with four books and horrible dialogue. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Lobster Two;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Lobster Two;">I did work on Sunday for about 4 hours, so I could start Monday off with less work. I knew we were going to be swamped with end of the year freak outs and the long weekend. My coworker came back from vacation on Monday and we had a mini meeting with our c & c team. On Tuesday, first thing in the morning, she found out her great aunt had passed from Covid, she will be out for the next couple of days. I feel horrible for her. I'm going to try to get her address and send her something. We had a few meetings and started working on a few things. If she is back on Thursday, we are going to have another meeting to flesh out some items. I did a rough draft on the definition of business days, when customer service should chat us instead of email and an email template. Sometimes half the battle is figuring out what CS need/want us to do. I put some parts about what we do all day and that we have a lot of other work than answering chats or emails. Like...a lot.... :) I, seriously, love this job though and I think it's a good fit for me. It keeps my brain working and there are a lot of moving parts.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Lobster Two;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Lobster Two;">I took Draco with me to do a Target run Monday night. We did the pick up service. It saves me money not going in the actual store. So...much...money.... He was nervous when the guy was putting the items in the trunk and wasn't sure what to think.

He woke up at 10:30 and asked me what was for dinner. lol.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Lobster Two;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Lobster Two;">Tuesday was the day of packages. We got our chewy order, some of the race medals I ordered, some lipsticks I had ordered, the Cat Lady box (which I thought I canceled, even had the email, but was pleasantly surprised with the charge on my card), an amazon package and our BarkBox from December. Poor BarkBox! Better late than never. I did get refunded and a free box for next month because of the shipping delay. It wasn't even BarkBox's fault. It was stuck in a facility for over 20 days and finally moved out of the facility on the 29th of December. I didn't ask for the refund or the free box. The toys were so cute though.

On Sunday, we had two interviews for the Board of Directors for the Kansas City Roller Warrior. They both went well and I enjoyed meeting new people, even if it is just by Zoom. Monday and Tuesday were work days and they were hella busy. It was the year end panic for some. As long as they are finished by midnight on the 31st, they are good to go. Monday evening, I went with my mom to see lights at the Olathe Community Center.

I didn't do a lot. We ordered Wings on Doordash. We had two more interviews for the BOD. (We've had a total of 10. It's exhausting) I went to the grocery store afterwards. Around 7:30 pm. It was nice, the people were nice and it was a good experience. I did have one guy ask me if I was "shopping for the big storm". I laughed a little and told him I was only buying for the week and I didn't have any milk. I couldn't possibly be preparing for the storm without milk! I had eggs and bread, because we were out of eggs and bread. </span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: Lobster Two;">Thursday was a holiday day from work. Alli asked me to go get a manicure with her. I passed on the manicure, but I did get a pedicure. I hadn't had one in over a year. It was nice to sit, relax and read. I engaged in conversation with the sweetest girl next to me about reading. I was starved after the pampering and we went to Amigos. Yes, another Mexican restaurant. I am so happy we picked it. I ran into Sharon and Paul. We got to catch up on gossip (from six feet away and masked, of course) and boy, did I have some juicy nuggets. My daughter and I decided to leave a 100% tip for our waitress. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5rj4uv5F98ZOV87rAFoGSYfTI9KUcWMXu0z47QA3-RxI3uCujP2SOSF55ud686IL6VXyZCCC_L_UqOsvgJ1DJf6BS9lrsGyYpCbmydtJmIjBMPT1o2tK174jIlrxPdcLkCPZXP-RcsTQ/s320/IMG_8046.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5rj4uv5F98ZOV87rAFoGSYfTI9KUcWMXu0z47QA3-RxI3uCujP2SOSF55ud686IL6VXyZCCC_L_UqOsvgJ1DJf6BS9lrsGyYpCbmydtJmIjBMPT1o2tK174jIlrxPdcLkCPZXP-RcsTQ/s0/IMG_8046.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Lobster Two";">I traded in the scratchers tickets that my mom always gives as stocker stuffers.

He's only missing a few thing in English, Algebra and Biology now. He finally turned in his big essay for English.

We went last year and it was super cute and decided to attend again. They only allowed 30 people per session and it's a nice sized park. There was night trail hiking (my advice: don't turn your flashlight on, it totally ruins your night vision and others night vision and makes it more difficult to navigate and see the stars), moon viewing, star gazing, storytelling and wish making. My niece wished for a poodle. She told me as soon as she stepped through the wishing tree. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwJ1z8a0QvS28Ngmjz4ULHDH1Uh-IEVzv3ggjDFTHo8cUHWhyphenhyphen-PxRrg5Cs5dJdoFYIeHt2PSSy5pTNcwliu6Cz0NV2IxdMFyPzE6B-JQMFEP0Wq9yhBKADib5_cruP7_RZdyhOelZkJ4I/s320/IMG_7931.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwJ1z8a0QvS28Ngmjz4ULHDH1Uh-IEVzv3ggjDFTHo8cUHWhyphenhyphen-PxRrg5Cs5dJdoFYIeHt2PSSy5pTNcwliu6Cz0NV2IxdMFyPzE6B-JQMFEP0Wq9yhBKADib5_cruP7_RZdyhOelZkJ4I/s0/IMG_7931.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5fJqMinJ_qIu6Ojq5u5VQI-QbgA1ZpTjTT_BdnFcXneOAq7lFR4WFVkMEnmiH_ixm9Uwv4F_jOzAnQqHSEc2fjOaj6MjsBl9NeCXNzZZYRu0PE82B1dqxRW8rNCGNhaWHlx10nxiUbEg/s320/IMG_7933.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5fJqMinJ_qIu6Ojq5u5VQI-QbgA1ZpTjTT_BdnFcXneOAq7lFR4WFVkMEnmiH_ixm9Uwv4F_jOzAnQqHSEc2fjOaj6MjsBl9NeCXNzZZYRu0PE82B1dqxRW8rNCGNhaWHlx10nxiUbEg/s0/IMG_7933.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirQvRQzAd62yHE08sSIkoB0SiRViVD-WMvLwqiAF1cZ85AKVcHunABNMAI9JMl-AlR3aF1HyCzbP54Ym7-hhEY5flzZG3Js7iUo4gAQARH5Cymx2yGVvstcggje8OlzsGnLov1YMPgxdc/s320/IMG_7935.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirQvRQzAd62yHE08sSIkoB0SiRViVD-WMvLwqiAF1cZ85AKVcHunABNMAI9JMl-AlR3aF1HyCzbP54Ym7-hhEY5flzZG3Js7iUo4gAQARH5Cymx2yGVvstcggje8OlzsGnLov1YMPgxdc/s0/IMG_7935.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs90ASZ-FlXjETJVNASM10MmJku2gO5cFtbMU7BtklaKFkCosk243ZajvSjZZGeFTjrDdiLf0TYFNw5_RzoJdnGC2wF66H0SrRlue6HSd13UYHA3ArxQ7hTJthD6JYxPX43TZbs4qEKbI/s320/IMG_7936.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs90ASZ-FlXjETJVNASM10MmJku2gO5cFtbMU7BtklaKFkCosk243ZajvSjZZGeFTjrDdiLf0TYFNw5_RzoJdnGC2wF66H0SrRlue6HSd13UYHA3ArxQ7hTJthD6JYxPX43TZbs4qEKbI/s0/IMG_7936.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4996MbVOXhm0ytln3rtJynn2OiwruBZs8rztgg8Ge_ATXuRPPJYURJnSjkbjY5sdQhBkAn1alldOF2uZ1d4V9QtuI8Brd6m5_FSK6JDObAyMD61V1-apKdpytNXtpQoN7cJZxX-uz6kA/s320/IMG_7938.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4996MbVOXhm0ytln3rtJynn2OiwruBZs8rztgg8Ge_ATXuRPPJYURJnSjkbjY5sdQhBkAn1alldOF2uZ1d4V9QtuI8Brd6m5_FSK6JDObAyMD61V1-apKdpytNXtpQoN7cJZxX-uz6kA/s0/IMG_7938.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJBFpfaYvvL9UNNFs5Is4_xDenwZjj_CQAfKEy0ZAUaAdTtNUudTGHpaVXjvrm2V_VYYw-o6WJLrboK-3FoXvv6Dlp4nK7rEKSM0DtXwsYcAQq9jHWsFj4LMOf1LvND7RhZYiXED-cmWg/s320/IMG_7939.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJBFpfaYvvL9UNNFs5Is4_xDenwZjj_CQAfKEy0ZAUaAdTtNUudTGHpaVXjvrm2V_VYYw-o6WJLrboK-3FoXvv6Dlp4nK7rEKSM0DtXwsYcAQq9jHWsFj4LMOf1LvND7RhZYiXED-cmWg/s0/IMG_7939.jpg" /></a></div><p>Tonight, we got to view The Great Conjunction!

I have a lot of blog reading to catch up!</p><p>School is nearing it's end for the year. Only three days left for the kiddos then it is winter break! Since most of their stuff is online, they can work on missing assignments and everything to get caught up during break. Let's just say...Peyton is a bit behind in English. Alli's online teacher is actually getting online a few times during break to open tests and quizzes for kiddos. She's getting paid for it, don't worry. :) The principal asked her to do it and who doesn't like extra money. </p><p>I found someone to order Girl Scout cookies from. My daughter is no longer involved in GS and my niece isn't either. But, I have an order in. Shipping a few boxes to Tanner. Hope he enjoys.</p><p>My new job. I love it. I love the company, the coworkers, the work! It's all new and exciting. My first month and I already had two PTO days to take. I did them on the 23rd and 30th. That way I would get two five day weekends in a row. I received a super nice sherpa blanket and am awaiting a package from UPS with goodies from our employee engagement committee. This is so different coming from a government setting to a corporate one. I know 2020 has been the pits for some, but I call this new job a bright light. </p><p>Here are a few pics from the past week or so. :) </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6hVed5_NIGzUdAqNM-mtCeKJnIoerPLaSxvERZG1wFbGUJxvpLHYoWcAp7GUya6U2j1NdfOI8mYXvyVwjsSTuISTgbOQC2ZJ5mlOhjiFZEq2hlRyJsBsJwTylPWVOX5HSEhVirRDbHbY/s320/6F6F244C-2829-47A6-A1D8-77E6CF968FC7.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

What? I am so excited. I have a meeting with HR to virtually do my ID process, First Day Orientation online and a meeting with my new manager. I don't have my computer yet. HR said it's on it's way. I can do all the things listed above on my own computer, so it works out just fine. Nice, easy first week! I think I made the right choice on starting this week.</p><p>It's been a busy morning already. I met with Alli's remote teacher. She is on target with most of her classes. She can use the holiday break to get caught up in one of the them, but the other one she is sitting on a test that has to be supervised. She will have to wait until next week. I met with Peyton's geography teacher. Peyton is doing a good job, has attended all the virtual meetings and his teacher said he can still do the project he is missing. I know Peyton had started on it, just not sure where he is at with it. I am going to have him turn it in this week. I had already warned the kids if they have missing work, they would be doing it over Thanksgiving Break. Thank goodness, neither of them have a lot missing. </p><p>This weekend I decorated the front room. I've also been going through things. I found a couple of boxes with DVDs. Probably around 100 of them. Maybe more. Half of them are missing. That means they are floating around this house somewhere. I will donate a majority of them. A few I am keeping because they are classics or favorites and can be passed down.</p><p>Here is Kibben in the tree before I can even get the lights on it. He hasn't gotten up in it since I put the ornaments on. I let him have his fun for a few minutes. :)</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVR2ekY1iQZMvR-9vHuLbU9xehrsCGI3JfGRHu53GBo_8QMYQGW_9yPB1_j92OPaXS8OMHxNSI8x4ueqCWArRIXfj3uobFhzTLdPn6pwAwN3YXMyAajGzjEV-1BaPfDgTKjyLPW4o5wdI/s320/IMG_7575.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVR2ekY1iQZMvR-9vHuLbU9xehrsCGI3JfGRHu53GBo_8QMYQGW_9yPB1_j92OPaXS8OMHxNSI8x4ueqCWArRIXfj3uobFhzTLdPn6pwAwN3YXMyAajGzjEV-1BaPfDgTKjyLPW4o5wdI/s0/IMG_7575.jpg" /></a></div>I went shopping on Sunday. Aldi's has a bunch of fancy cheeses for not fancy prices. I am making a charcuterie board for Thanksgiving. I bought a bunch of meats, cheeses and crackers. We are not having Thanksgiving on Thursday. Our family needed to postpone until Sunday. My niece was exposed to COVID 19 and quarantine ends for them on Saturday. So far negative tests and no symptoms. Whew! On Thursday, my mom, the kids and myself are going to my grandpas apartment and having a small dinner. Chicken, scalloped potatoes, rolls and a cake. My grandpa is making the cake. He has been wanting to bake one for a while.<div><br /></div><div>I picked up a few things for him at the store and brought them out to him on Sunday. We are keeping him out of the stores as much as we can with the rising cases. Gotta keep him safe. :) My mom shopped for him yesterday, but he had forgotten a few things. We watched a little TV and I told him about Big Sky, I figured he would like that. He plans on watching it on Tuesday when the episode airs. </div><div><br /></div><div>I did some online shopping and worked on gift lists and what I need to purchase. I need a few more ideas for my teenage boy. He will probably end up with some money for shoes. It will make him happy though. </div><div><br /></div><div>Peyton attempted his permit test on Friday. He missed it by two questions. He will have to try again. It took Alli a few times to pass also. Some of those signs are ones that you do not see often.</div><div><br /></div><div>Here are some pictures of Peyton.
