How do you like the skirt I made out of my Ikea curtain fabric? It was a great three hour project. Last Friday Miranda called me up to accompany her on some shopping. Afterwards we had leftover chili at my house and got Zaley to show off her laugh.

Here are the new decals we got for our gadgets. I love my purple dots! I finally got my old ringtone running and got an ebook reader for the scriptures.

I made these peanut butter and chocolate oat crumbles last week. They deserve 7/10. Easy to make, fairly tasty, healthy oats…but they were not spectacular. Sort of blah. And they are super crumbly, leaving messes all over. I might make them again, but I would not reserve the base crumble for the topping – I’d put it all on the base. Then I’d put more chocolate on the peanut butter-condensed milk layer and smear the melted chocolate around, like on my mom’s peanut butter bars. Here’s the recipe if you want to give them a try.

Things are going to be boring this week. My folks are out of the country so there isn’t any dictation for me to transcribe. I’m slowly reading a book on how to create websites. I might work on theirs a bit. I have my second hepatitis shot tomorrow and I made a dentist appointment for Wednesday. Tuesday we’re going to see Ben’s cousin’s jazz band perform. I’m excited to see his family again – it’s been months, maybe more than a year since we all got together.

On the school front, I’m down to two weeks. That’s also the estimated time when Regis said they would be sending us our schedules. Nothing so far today. I need to go to campus to get a medical terminology book to take their pre-requisite quiz (that they just sent out Friday. Gargh. Why can’t they give us more warning for anything??). This morning I matched codes on my tuition invoice to the bookstore book search and I think I have a list of the books for my first term. Before tax the estimated total is $889. Criminy. And that doesn’t include lab tools, scrubs, shoes, the required PDA software, or my stethoscope. I’m so glad I have supportive parents who are willing to help me get all the education I want.
