1. I went to the library today and one of the books I was checking out wouldn't scan. It was an older paperback. I told the nice lady checking me out that I could get it another time, I didn't have to have it today. Then the head library lady says, "Let her take it, she's family." Do you think I go in the library a lot? I have lived here for 14 years and have been an avid user of the library so I am proud to be considered family! Let me take this moment to say that if you do not use your local library you really, really should! Our library has tons of tv shows on DVD, tons of movies (including the newest ones), on DVD as well as every book imaginable. Sometimes I will see a book on a blog or someone will mention a book they are reading and I go straight to my library's website and find it there and place a hold. The internet is a wonderful thing when paired with the library. I go online at home, search for and order books from our system (all the libraries in the county) and then pick them up at my local library. I don't even usually have to go in. My girls take turns running in with the library card and picking up any holds. We live in a small town and so if our library system has all this I'm sure most libraries do too. Support your local library!!
2. I see no difference between bleached and unbleached flour. Do you? They are both pretty white.
3. Opening night of Grease, Jr. was last night and it was an awesome show!! Here are a few pictures. Hannah played Patty Simcox--the annoying preppy cheerleader who likes Danny. She was very funny last night!
4. I have been eating pretty horribly. I've learned so much in the past year yet I easily fall back into unhealthy eating. One thing that I have to get used to and deal with is that I need to eat healthy food even when I don't feel like it or don't like it. Just because I don't feel like drinking a green smoothie, I need to drink it anyway. I need to eat my greens and my veggies even if that is not what I'm craving or what my body is "asking" for. I'm going to start tonight by drinking a green smoothie for dinner. For real. 5. My kids have been watching Brady Bunch a lot the past two days. I love that show!! I've seen every episode and generally know what is going to happen based on the first five minutes. I haven't taken the time to sit and watch with my kids but I've been listening to it. I have to say though--those girls (even Carol) are so snotty!
6. I colored my hair today, I hope that I was able to cover those few stubborn greys that I have. Last time I colored my hair I could see the grey hair within a week. I only have a few but I hate seeing them there! One day I'm going to grow up and actually go to a real salon to have my hair colored but for now I must do it myself.
7. In the last three days I've made 4 batches of chocolate chip bars and 4 batches of lemon bars. All for concessions at Grease. I've now memorized both recipes I think.

Yay for eating right. :>) We all battle that but you are overcoming! It all starts in the heart. Good job.
The pictures are really cute. I'm glad you all have the opportunity to enjoy theatre. I miss doing it myself. That is where my husband and I met--in a musical teamed up as singing and dancing partners (though neither of us had ever danced prior-it was a hoot.)
I always love reading your blog. It's like reading a story or a magazine.
Keep writing. It's so fun to read.
