oh happy day!

the past 48 hours have been thoroughly fabulous and full of new experiences.  yesterday, i attended a truly wonderful church service with an amazing message and fabulous worship time.  then i went to the italian car show with ron, which was somewhat disappointing, but only because there weren't very many cars there.  it brought back all sorts of memories of going to car shows in the summer as a family.  kinda made me want a rootbeer float from the frost stop :)  AND then the greatest part of the day, we had lunch at Casa Bonita!  Casa Bonita is the Chuck E Cheese of the mexican food world.  They have a restaurant that seats up to 900 people, with a waterfall, cliff divers, puppet shows, skits, and a pressed penny machine.  The food isn't faulous, but how can you beat burritos, fresh sopapillas, and a pressed penny.  obviously i am pretty impressed with pressed pennies, but how can you not be?

today we got up and took the boat to the lake.  i spent most of the morning throwing sticks for hobbes because even though his hips don't work and he can't walk anymore, he can still swim.  after our adventure to the lake, i cleaned the kitchen and my bathroom, then i did a serious amount of studying and made some yummy dinner.  tomorrow i have to make pie dough in less than 25 minutes so that i can pass my quiz on thursday.  i also have to be kitchen manager this week, so i have to be seriously on my game!  but we get to make ice cream and we are learning about yeast, so it should be really fun.  yeasty guys are truly amazing and i am seriously excited to learn all about them.  yay for what should be an awesome week!
