Aww it is cute. I cannot seem to win crypts or ice fields, two-three steps in and I'm lost or booted out.

Ahhh home. Relax a bit. Figure out dinner. Forgot to unthaw anything sigh Sleeping teenager. I know he stayed up all night but no idea what time he fell asleep, he was awake when I left this morning.

And yes yes yes! NEW achievement! (THREE!!) For feeding all cookies! Hope I get my hard to get ones. :P

I can't win either, but I still keep trying to do it :P

Wheeeee for new achievements!

Work today.. and it's picture day. Then directly to the food share, then pretty much directly to the football game and working the concession stand.

What'd you end up eating?

Oh we got firehouse subs lol And I got the scratchcard cookie this morning!! Yay!

[edit] 730pm My brain hurts. I've been focused on the stupid lesson plan for my "game" since 4pm. I THINK I have it completed as much as I could. AND since I wasn't sure if we were supposed to do the old lesson plan or the new revised one (although the new one says its for infants/toddlers and so I don't THINK I should use it at all being as my game was based for 4yr olds), I copied and pasted ALL my crapola into BOTH templates. (AM I BEING TOO EXTRA?) THEN filled out the parts in the regular template that were NOT in the revised one. AND typed in RED INK into sections "I do not know what to put in this box" or something similar for the ones I had no clue LOL ALSO one section was for TECHNOLOGY standards- and my game didn't use it? So I wasn't sure if I HAD to put something there. I chose one and sort of explained it on the teacher section, but simply put "This did not seem to apply" on the student section of that! UGH SO CONFUSING I also did my discussion post and comments. The other students were way more descriptive of the activities than I was in their posts but oh well.

Tomorrow I am going to read and work on at least one of my chapters for the reading log - that assignment now has "No due date" since the teacher hasn't uploaded the chapters yet, but I do have the book, so I can work on it. And tomorrow/Sunday I'll also work on my discussion post (I have to create a schedule) for the infant/toddler class. Fun. :P At least I have examples to look at! lol

[edit] 1018am Well since Nathan was awake, I dragged him out (Ok NOT REALLY but still...) for breakfast at IHOP and then to walmart to shop. Nothing like fussing at the kid that he HAS to get a job or we'll be eating ramen noodles...and then go splurge to eat out LOL BAD ME! :P Oh well.

Then home, unpack and put away groceries.

Then got an email alert about my dads upcoming storyworth questions, so I went in and browsed around on that, and thought of three questions I wanted to ask, so I made my own questions and moved them up to be next. Then I looked at the "book" and decided it was horrible the way it was laid out (random questions everywhere LOL) So I organized it into "types" of questions. Like, childhood/family, work, military, etc. Reads much nicer now. I plan to "open" it to my brothers after Christmas (one year of questions), and let them comment or ask any questions they might have to add to the book. Right now its only got less than 100 pages, and we can have like 400 if I remember right. I might go in and add some pictures later too. My papa added one of his favorite childhood book and one on the cover of the book and thats all so far LOL I did notice a few places we'll have to go back in and edit the stories (as when you reply through email it sticks random email crap on the page and that needs to go! As well as a few typos or misspellings.)

DONE. Too many gellys :P

Iz slept until 11:30 and didn't get out of bed until 11:50 when Sean got here LOL. I loveeee ihop, we don't have one. It's our vacation food! :P

The storyworth sounds SO COOL. I wish we had someone to do one with, but they're all gone. :(

Aww well, do it with YOURSELF! Give it to your kids later :P

I battled the mini gelatin 50x with Sheli earlier. Then got tired of it LOL I need to do more if they're still there? I hope so. Oh well if not. I didn't complete ALL of my quests, but I got a good bit of them done before the reset, so thats nice at least!

I got distracted by mowing the lawn and the stupid lawnmower tore up the belt again but I got it back on and finished the lawn since it wasn't broke completely. And then I got distracted by classwork. I have turned in the game lesson plan (along with a comment hahah) AND the infant lesson plan (and a comment). And am working on the discussion thread - toddler schedule. Whee I think I'm about done with it :P Then it will just be 2 comments on others schedules when they post (no one has posted in that yet...) AND I still need to read and try to start the stupid reading log.

It was another not very exciting day around here.. which was GREAT.

Iz didn't wake up until I woke her up at 11:30 LOL.

Sean mowed our lawn.. well, part of it. He's killed the battery twice and hasn't even finished the front part of the front yard haha. And I followed him with the leaf blower near the road, at least.

Good job!

And I made ham and El made green bean casserole and Iz contributed by making a frozen pumpkin pie.. so that's what we're having for dinner :P

:o N O! NO NO NO NOT FROZEN PUMPKIN PIE!!! You gotta get the Libbys canned :P Do you remember the jingle? LOL I always think of that (Tho I usually buy walmart brand now) "If it says libbys libbys libbys on the label label label, you will like it, like it, like it on the table table table" LOL Also I just always make pumpkin pie from canned pumpkin, I learned how to do it with my gramma and do it like she did. AND I think it tastes way better than frozen pie. But honestly, if ya'll like frozen pie, go for it! :D LOL

I'm doing broccoli/rice casserole, and I did TWO big batches of chicken breasts - bbq and lemon pepper - and I am planning on making some frozen meals for me to microwave for lunch and dinners those nights I"m all "Forgot to thaw anything, dunno what to do for dinner" I wanted to do bread, but didn't remember in time, so I might make that tomorrow (Fresh homemade bread, yum) I'm making biscuits for tonight.

Just finished Carl and he was VERY NICE to me, three new items, and a bunch of older ones, including some expensive older ones (over 500k). I think only 3 of his quests he didn't give me a freyalise item!

It's the expensive one? LOL. I have lots of canned pumpkin but we were going super easy :P

Carl was nice to me too. Nothing I wanted though lol. Congrats!

Hahah well Libby's isn't TOO expensive honestly. But I can't remember any other type of pumpkin puree? Except walmart brand, which IS cheaper. I'm sure there are others. I think the Libbys jingle was for canned vegetables tho but I don't really remember. I just remember the jingle LOL I remember a lot of old jingles (Tootsie Roll....Toys R Us, Oscar Mayer Wiener...)

Carl gave me a bird. That was the only thing I was happy about, the others were just nice to get so I can sell them LOL

I went and played games with my neighbor for a while, but am back. And gonna try to finish my quests. I did do 25 more battles on the mini gelatin.

[edit] Morning! almost 7am. I woke up around 530. Stayed in bed til about 6, then got up and did dishes, I am baking some muffins (from a mix), and I also moved my shoe shelf and shoes into my bedroom. Then I got on here, and I have fought the mini and glider gelatins both 25x, and have started my quests.

I HAVE to get started on that reading log today tho. Ugh. (I mean, I don't but I DO since I CAN. I don't want to keep putting it off and then I have to do it along with OTHER assignments) I looked at it, its not hard. I have to read each chapter, and then decide what is the most important thing I take away from it and write what page it came from, and why I think its important. (for each chapter). I am sure I can do at least one or two chapters today if not all three.

710 - Carl wasn't quite as nice today, only 8 quests gave Freyalise items. And only 1 was something I wanted. At least a couple others were expensive items! :D

Booo Carl!

Yeah, its pretty cheap, that's what I've got :P I just didn't want to go through the hassle of mixing it all up. It tasted really good, it was Marie Calandars. I didn't cook it long enough though :(

Ooof. Not cooked long enough isn't good. At least you thought it was still tasty!! I'm baking mine today! Just turned on the oven to preheat. Since I got my whipped cream yesterday I can now make pie. Lol I hate when I forget the whipped cream. I can eat pie without it but it's not as good.

Yeah, our whipped cream froze, so it was just.. weird now. I picked up new stuff today :P

I got 3 new books from Carl today! AND a cookie I needed from Pete!

Unlocked Gelatin Marauder! Defeat Gelatin Gliders in battle!

Whoo hoo! Only needed 55 of those.

I don't know how many more I need. A lot I guess as I haven't gotten any notices of achievements lol But I have now battled the minis 125x this time (this gelly war) and the gliders 50x

Ok edit: I went and looked

832/1000 (of 3500!!!) for mini gelatins And 202/250 (of 555) lol weird number but ok then!!!

I fought a thousand mini gellys yesterday I think LOL.

The gliders were way easier! :P

OMG My dog just ate over half a pumpkin pie! DANG IT! It was on the stove, cooled down, we had JUST gotten pieces of it and ate it, I was in here trying to finish my school work, and Nathan was in his room. She has been AWFUL today, she got in the litter box, she got in the trash, and NOW she ate a pie!! :o I put her outside, obviously she needs some exercise or something, I'll have to make Nathan play with her or something, I dunno. ARGH!!!!!

I was in the LR reading my chapters and working on notes for that assignment most of the afternoon, but every time I left the room she did SOMETHING. I came back here to type it up and turn it in, and turn in the schedule, and make comments on others schedules. Now I have no work until tomorrow nights assignments open.

I did fight some more gelatins, and I got You've earned the Gelatin Marauder achievement! and You've earned the Basic 20th Anniversary Kumos Cookies achievement!

Need rift and storm cookies still for the others. ONE tempest event since this started.

I can't battle non-stop. I get bored by that. I do like 25-50x and leave for a while LOL I guess that means I probably won't achieve all of them any time soon, but eh. I did start doing the mini's with my other pets, as at least half of them should be able to defeat 25 minis.

[edit] 6am My dog is a freaking menace. She barked and whined over half the night, kept waking me up. (the front end of the runner line is closest to my bedroom) I am surprised my witchy neighbor didn't text me (her bedroom is the same location as mine) :P I know she's used to being inside most of the time now, but I really thought she'd settle down out there. Its nice and cool, not cold or hot and she does LOVE being outside. UGH. So now I'm super tired and have a long day to deal with (class tonight, the LONG one).

Oh no! Yeah, sounds like she needs to be tired out!

I need rift, storm and scratchcard still.

I get bored too, I just did 10 at a time. But I was watching TV, so just.. kept going 10s :P

I only made her stay outside because I was worried she'd barf or poop overnight if I kept her in ....

But yeah. She needs something!!

I'm gonna try and do a few more quests while it naptime....

I woke up at 3am for no good reason. I think because I knew Alex had to get up at 4:30 instead of 5:30 and so it just.. turned everything wrong, you know?

Oh ugh. Yeah. I hate when I wake up too early for no reason. Especially if I don't have to get up! I'm so tired right now and I don't even want to THINK about class, but I did bring home more observations to record in the log for that. So yay for something. Just gotta type it up.

Need to finish Wiz, then can do Battle and Drills. AND spend all my onhand sP so I can do Sarah.

edit 520 Hit 1000 mini gellies You've earned the Gelatin Defender achievement!

[edit] 6am Hey guys. In case you were bored of my college class talks... the drama is about to be back. I won't go into that quite yet.

But there is college drama too. Last night I realized the "game lesson plan" I did, is going to be wrong. Because I didnt do the "game" properly. On THIS WEEK's assignment, it states NOT to do a typical "matching" type game. AND that I have to take pictures of my game. Somehow I missed that. Its not in the syllabus. It wasn't in LAST WEEKS assignment details (That would have been helpful). So now I am thinking I'll have to do the assignment completely over again (if she lets me) or lose points. AND right now I can't think of a different game based on the GELDS for the age group I chose. AND THEN. She finally showed us examples of what she wanted for "advocacy toys" and for the final project presentation. She wants us to do TWO toys! I thought it was one. She did approve the sock doll idea I had at least. And discussed with me a few other options, so I am going to do some sort of spinner toy (think, pinwheel or helicopter type toy). AND THEN the final project. IS A FREAKING DIORAMA!! Like, I have to create a diorama of a classroom and a playground!!! AND take pictures of it for a slideshow, AND write a paper about it and about how its the "optimal play learning environment" I don't have materials to create all that kind of stuff!!! And I can't just draw it or anything, thats being lazy (Which she did mention, "I'm not going to say which ones, but you can tell who was lazy about their work, and who put in effort" as she showed us the slideshow of examples done by other classes. ARGH!! ALL THIS IN TWO MORE WEEKS? (maybe 3? I forget. Either way its a LOT) And she is all "Don't go buying things to do this, use stuff from around your house!" EXCUSE ME BUT I DON'T have crafting crap around my house anymore. I'll HAVE to buy stuff. ARGH!

[edit] 450pm Ok. A little calmer now. STILL a lot to do. BUT I did think of another game while at work, and got my pictures, and so I've spent the last hour or so redoing the lesson plan. It was easier this time as I could go off what I had already done and change what I needed to. And based off whatever feedback I get, hopefully I'll learn how to do the lesson plan better. IT TOOK AWAY THE OTHER ONES I submitted. Ugh. I didn't know if it would do that or not, but its ok. I literally put on there 2nd attempt, and it should tell her it was my 2nd attempt AND I wrote ANOTHER comment about redoing it once I learned I wasn't supposed to have done a matching game sigh

Now Nathan wants firehouse so I guess I'm gonna go grab sandwiches for dinner.

OK, your schooling is a disaster lately! :( Hopefully it will go smoother from now on!

And oh no about the rest. :(

I swear, since I didn't sleep well Monday, I haven't slept right since. I need caffeine to get going this morning :/
