just for fun

Try out this test, and see how you do- it gets easier with practice LOL. But I do have to say, I think we studied states in 4th and 5th grade. Not 3rd.

*sigh* Our printer has died. Well, no, it hasn't died, it just chews up paper. Or prints so the last 2 inches of each line are strung out and blurry. Or jams itself for no obvious reason halfway through a document. So it's no longer working. I have tried resetting it, but nothing changes. And I cannot take it apart, because for some mysterious reason the screws are stripped. To my knowledge, nobody has taken it apart since we bought it. *BIG sigh* I really don't want to have to buy another printer, but...

And I am finally going down to the school to see which teachers will have W and M this year. *18* more days until school starts- hooray!

For today, my list of favorite things:
  1. Fresh squash from our garden. Still craving them steamed with butter and s&p, even after having them almost daily for a month. Oh, and tomatoes- I am SO anticipating the big Beefsteak ones, once they ripen!
  2. Getting to exercise without feeling pain in my hip. Hooray for PT ;)
  3. Having a talented soccer player for a sister, so I can go watch her games.
  4. The cool breeze that blows through my south windows, cooling my house and saving me money (so I can afford to replace that @&%! printer)
  5. Looking at my scrapbooks with H, and seeing how he's grown in one year.
  6. Hearing "Sure, Mom!" from M when I ask her to do me a favor.
  7. Having a good chat with two of my neighbors about kids, and husbands, and life.
  8. My family *happy sigh*
