Thank goodness the class is over and the test has been taken. I won't know the results for at least ten days but I feel I knew most of the material covered on the test. What makes me nervous is that a passing grade is an 85.
Well, it has been a long day and I'm very tired. I am so thankful to all those who said a prayer for me. I truly appreciate it. I will post my grade, good or bad, as soon as I get it. Have a good night. I'm going to bed.

Update and Thank Yous
Well, here is an update on my car... it's totaled! If I'm not mistaken, the AC unit was busted up and I believe something else was messed up but I don't recall what it was. Needless to say, the damage was more than the car was worth. All for a piece of gum. The good thing is, no one was hurt. I don't even have whiplash.
******************************
I just wanted to say that God has blessed not only me, but he has been pouring out blessings all over the place these past couple of weeks. I just wanted to share that with everyone. Hopefully, I can share the full extent of his blessings very soon. It's been amazing!
******************************
I was also wondering if everyone could say a quick prayer for me around 2:30 tomorrow. I have the Health Dept. test and I'm kind of nervous. Everyone else that is taking the test, already has prior knowledge when it comes to the food service business but not I. Thank you Vickie for the encouragement. I feel better about it since you told me it wasn't that hard. Still, I could use all the help I can get.
I also wanted to say thanks to everyone who reads this thing and also, to those who comment. I really do appreciate it. I hope to keep it updated better.

Life comes at you quick...
....in the form of a little black Honda, or at least it did for me! Yep, I had a wreck and it was so my fault. I was at a stop light and had gotten a piece of gum out, when the light turned green. We all began to go but I looked away for a split second (I know, that's all it takes) and looked back up and there it was, that little black Honda. I was really surprised by how hard I hit it! I really wasn't going that fast because there isn't much space between lights.
So we pull over to assess the damage. Up until then, I had been fine but by the time I parked my car, you guessed it, I was shaking and crying. What a baby! I knew that my car had taken a beating b/c I couldn't see the end of the hood. It was curled under. ugh! Then, the guy, who's car I had rammed into, pointed out that my radiator was busted. Green stuff was running everywhere. His 8 year old son thought it was cool.
Oh yeah, did I mention he had his son in the backseat. He was taking him to school. I've had two wrecks in my life and both times there was a kid in the car and both times that kid comforted me! (The first wreck wasn't my fault... it was weather related) Thankfully, no one was injured in either one. This little boy today was so cute. He reminded me a lot of Dylan. He was very nice and politely asked me a lot of questions. He said that he was going to have something cool to talk about when he got to school. Glad I could help. He also thought it was funny how I made Mt. Dew go into his and his dad's hair. I kinda thought it was funny too. Gotta find something funny in that situation, right?
Anyway, we looked at his car and there were only a few scratches on the bumper. He said there wasn't any reason to call the police (whew... I would have really cried). Then, we exchanged info and Casey came to pick me up. We headed back to the house to wait for the insurance agency. To make an already long story short... I won't have my car back for about two weeks and we won't go into how much it's going to cost to fix it... "like a good neighbor, State Farm is there" (thank goodness!).

Just call me Rose
Sorry it has been so long since I've left a decent post. The past 2 weeks have been busy. A lot has been going on and I'm thinking that it is only going to get crazier ( but in a good way).
It all started when I got sick the week before last. I'm still trying to catch up on the house work because of it and I was only out for less than two days. It is amazing how fast that stuff backs up on you. Also, I had to play catch up with my school work.
Speaking of school work, that is next on my list of things I've been busy with. Last week I had three tests, my photography portfolio and drawing sketch book due. I believe I made an 'A' on all of the tests but I'm still waiting for my photography test to come back. I love my photography class but it is an online class and basically I teach myself. A requirement of the course is to go and develop your own film in the school darkrooms. It is so much fun but very time consuming. I spent about 5-6 hours in there last week only to find out that my film should have been thrown out. I had a friend who took the class last semester come in and help me. Unfortunately, we went on what she remembered and my film was under developed. I went back this week b/c one class was canceled for the day and developed my film myself (closely reading the book of course). I did better but no one told me that I had to make sure the film reel didn't float up in the container. When I was finished, I found that part of my film was in the developing chemicals longer than the other half. Oh well, I now know exactly what to next time. Maybe I will be able to scan a few photos next week.
Also, last week I began a new class and it's not even at school. I am taking a class at the Health Dept. on food safety and regulations for Casey's bbq place. It is a three day class, held every Wed. from 1:30-4:30. Next week is the last class and TEST. Another test! Man, I can't get away from them. This is one that I am nervous about. I don't have much experience in the food industry. I worked as a hostess/busboy at a restaurant here in town for about a month (if that long). The only thing that I learned there was that I didn't want to work in a restaurant ever again. Go figure! Everyone else in the class already owns their own business or works at Zaxby's. Say a prayer for me about 2:00 next Wednesday. :) By the way, did I mention that I have to make an 80 or higher to pass?
I'll let you know how that turns out. :)
Well, I gotta get going. Sorry this was so long. I was called Rose growing up b/c it took me so long to tell a story or explain something. I know I am forgetting something but my brain is on idle this morning and can't remember anything else right now. Hopefully, I'll be able to keep this thing updated better.
P.S. I was trying to find a picture of 'Rose' to put on here but came across this and thought it was funny. I apologize for the language.

Well, my dad would be proud to know that none of the Yankee from my mom's side made it into my speech. I hope to have a better post tonight or Thursday (tomorrow is too busy).

Help a mutha out!
Ok, so Avon is calling. My mom is now an official Avon lady. If any of the 4 people that read my blog like Avon and aren't committed to someone already, then send your business her way. She even has her own website where you can place an order (so it will be super easy)! Have a great day!

Please Pray
Last night, during the nasty weather, a good friend of Casey lost his mother, stepfather, and 17 yr. old stepbrother. His friend is one of the sweetest guys you will ever meet. He has seen so much tragedy. His biological dad died when he was really young. His stepfather pretty much raised him and his sister. He has been to Iraq and lost some of his hearing over there. His ex-wife was AWFUL to him and now he's lost his family. He and his wife are expecting their first boy together in the Spring. He also has a beautiful daughter that is about 8 yrs old. I'd like to ask everyone to please keep this family in your thoughts and prayers and any others that might have lost anyone in the storms. It's just so heartbreaking.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For us, the storms weren't that bad. The same storm/tornado that killed that family, headed straight towards our side of town but all we got was a little wind, heavy rain, and lightning. For some reason, our city seems to have this protective bubble over it and we don't get the bad stuff. I hope it stays that way. However, I always prepare for storms and last night was no different. I made sure we had blankets and such in the bathroom and that I could easily get to Dylan (his room was a little messy). We had a tornado warning and I even got me and Dylan in the bathroom around 3:30 a.m. but that lasted only a few minutes. I am thankful that there was no damage and I still have my family. Please keep Casey's friend and his family in your prayers.
