Birthdays and boredom

Hello everyone -

So, I'm going to try to stick to only a couple of topics. I think that's why I don't get on as often (because I try to summarize rather than talk about only a few things).

Today is day 6 of my 6 day vacation. Of course, remember that it was a combination of Wed/Thurs/Fri snow days and the three day President's Day weekend. Normally I wouldn't be ready to go back to school, but I've had a nice long break so I am ready.

Yesterday was my birthday celebration. I had to help clean up, and then go to cross pin making for an hour. It really broke up preparation for dinner. All I did was cut ribbon (with the help of three other people). We got home at about 5:30 and had to hurry to prep potatoes for roasting. For dinner we had steak, roasted potatoes, green beans, rolls, and, of course, cake. The cake was an experiment, which I don't think will be baked again. It was rather odd, not very cake like.

I will talk about my presents in a post later today. I decided to take pictures of them and post them here for you to observe, but the camera my dad bought a few years ago drains its power when it sits for a while (which it has). I had to plug it in so that it could recharge before I finished all of the picture-taking that I wanted to do.

Talk to you later...
