I studied well for my nutrition test.  I was done with 55 questions in about 20 minutes.  There were a few little questions but for the most part I think I aced this thing.  It feels good to have 2 tests down and three to go.  Now, I have a research paper to work on for the next two weeks and get that turned in and then I  can do my presentation up front, too.  I want as much as possible out of the way before November.  I also had to ask my chef instructor if I could do some office tasks instead of catering and restaurant functions so that I could be off my feet a bit more right now.  He was good with that .  He keeps asking me if I am sure I don't have cancer or something bad.  He is quite serious.  I keep reassuring him I will be fine.  So I will be going in to do some typing of recipes into their database and working on the cookbook and website a bit.  When it is up and running I will share that with you guys. 

I still have lots on my plate for this week even though the most stressful thing is past.  (the test)  I have a mini flower arrangement to do for Friday... (which I suck at, btw...) and then I have some tea cookies and I am praying my Shasta daisies open up so I have something to submit for the horticultural exhibits.  If they don't I have a single rose cluster I have but it is not the same... It is such a long story as to why I am still doing this flower show after I told then THREE times I really had a tight schedule and could not commit.  They are pushy old ladies and quite annoying... I don't think any of them remember having children and a husband and being in school and cooking all the meals and going to a weekly Bible study and studying for a test and homeschooling three children and waiting for surgery while in great pain most days and and and and.....  They don't get that I am busier than the WHOLE GARDEN CLUB COMBINED!!!!!!!    *bigsigh*...  I sigh a lot don't I?  LOL  Anyway, after this event I am out of the circle until I have more time to just hang out with them - which, at this rate, will be somewhere around 2035. 

I am going to make tomorrow as relaxed as I can possibly make it even with the extra tasks I have to do and I think E(9) will be getting a crash course in helping mommy make a miniature flower arrangement.  She is quite creative and I think she can do the brainstorming for her poor brain dead mommy.  LOL  We will go to the store for a few items in the morning and then go from there.  It will have to be a very few due to the budget and I think I have some fabric here we can use.... now if those daisies would just BLOOM!!!  Any suggestions on forcing them??? 

My next post will be thirteen things I wish I had time to do this week...  LOL  or something to that effect.
