Today is Monday

Mondays...aren't they great?! I'm kinda in love with them! It's the beginning of the week and i'm still so happy from church. Its not Thursday...when you just can't wait for the week to end :P

Today was an amazing day! I got my braces tightened and they are now blue instead of pink because blue reminds me of winter and especially snow...don't ask me why...but today I was a little home-sick so instead of going with the red and green idea it took Seth and I an hour to come up with for Christmas, I went with Blue! It makes me so happy!!! and it reminds me of Utah's snowy mountains!
Today I did math and lets just say, I rock! It's supposedly Thanksgiving brake and I did math. That's pretty awesome right?! Oh the joys of a home-school! I also read ALL of George Washington's rules of civility. Here are a few of my faves:

*Keep your nails clean and short, also your hands and teeth clean, yet without showing any great concern for them.

* Show not yourself glad at the misfortune of another though he were your enemy.

*Do not express joy before one sick in pain, for that contrary passion will aggravate his misery.

*Gaze not on the marks or blemishes of others and ask not how they came. What you may speak in secret to your friend, deliver not before others.

*THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK, pronounce not imperfectly, nor bring out your words too hastily, but orderly and distinctly.

*Undertake not what you cannot preform but be careful to keep your promise.

*Speak not evil of the absent, for it is unjust.

*Be not angry at the table whatever happens and if you have reason to be so, show it not but on a cheerful countenance especially if there be strangers, for good humor makes one dish of meat and whey.

If only teenagers these days could even live ONE of these rules, this world would be a better place!

I made dinner tonight...it took me three hours! Thank goodness I like cooking. I tried making chicken soup...it didn't work as well as I had hoped. Sorry Boby Fley or whatever your name is, that recipe is not going on my keeper list! I also made bread. That recipe will be on here once we get a decent picture of a loaf of bread. Tonight's bread didn't rise quite perfectly and Fierb wouldn't let me take a picture with in-door lighting anyway! With the bread I made our favorite tuna melts. They are amazing!!!

I'm tired and tomorrow we have a full day of baking ahead of us! It's pretty exciting!!!

One last rule for ya before I hit the hay

*When you speak of God or his Attributes, let it be seriously; reverence, honer and obey your natural parents although they be poor.'

Just some things to think about this week ;) I'm out!
