3.00 tip on 2.99 Papa Johns order...not exactly what I had in mind, but that's the way it worked out
Will continue to follow my holiday surprise giving, though, too!

When did people forget what Ball jars are? "Um, ball jar? Is that, like, a beach game?"
Made 6 pints of the most luscious organic strawberry freezer jam today, which should keep me on a sugar high for the next year!

Checks in yesterday, so should have it in hand when I get back from Budapest!!

Couldn't be easier, love this concept

App complete...passport office will expedite as soon as I take in checks for the fees...sick today, so will finish it up tomorrow and have passport in hand in a couple of weeks. Need to find out total costs and figure out how to get them reimbursed.

Yikes...need a blue passport for Taiwan...who knew...

American Friends Service Committee gets the whole enchilada!!

Have the recipe...need to get 4 cups of strawberries, 4 cups of sugar (yikes...can this be TRUE???), 1.75 ounces of dry pectin, and 5 pint jars

Re JD, have researched online (not crazy about it, but possible), as well as two-year programs. Of those, I have narrowed the field to a few and have contacted one for information. Next, research LSATs and LSAT study guides and courses and request info of the remaining top tier choices.

Still looking for a guide...first two did not pan out...tiring of telling the same old story to the same old blank faces...may just have to get creative.......

Still looking for the expired passport...hmm

Learned what an ambigram is LOL and got a book on Kindle to read all about it before I start my great name project(s).

I have found and compiled the 50 Questions...and begun to think on them...another thing to add to my work with the guide!

I have a guide--I hope! I will contact his office tomorrow and, hopefully, begin the process I am looking forward to the adventure. I have a number of thoughts in mind, but need to have a sounding board and a plan.

I have located the facility to visit...once I have my ticket purchased, I will contact a guide and make the arrangement for the day

On many days in the past 10, I have been good to myself and forgiving of others...and it was fairly easy to do in the compatible group with which I traveled. At home, I have more difficulty doing this and become a person I do not want to be. I will continue to seek out readings and a guide...have one to call on tomorrow...so that I can maintain some equilibrium as I go through these personally turbulent times.

No decluttering for 15 minutes while in Bulgaria, but did keep up the habit by clearing out purse and tote every day and it helped me to be a better presenter!

Days 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14...woohoo...DONE--but today...today, didn't remember to do this and was gloomy all morning. I must remember to get back on track...smiling later in the day helps, yes...but I am still beating myself up for the lost morning...need to work some more on being kinder to me...

Days 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15...woohoo...DONE

Going to China in late March-early April...have started researching the available facilities.

Downloaded a list of all the prizewinners. Coincidentally, they represent ten different countries, so I will start by choosing one from each country--and fulfill another goal--before tackling the rest of the list

Oh, wow...wasn't planning on doing this just now--but GBK's got to run to North Carolina for an undetermined period of time--and maybe out to the west coast soon--so I will be looking after the Girlfriend for the interim.

Day 1, Moses for his sense of humor
Day 2, Geri for her strength of character

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t
understand life. John Lennon
