No new car

I'm sad to say that Mark will not

be getting that new car.  :(  We are

so used to doing things certain ways

and NOT so used to having our hand

in a certain position for more than 2

days (with 10 minute breaks every hour) 

and he accidentally lifted his hand.  I'm

so sad for him.  After 2 days and about

4 hours, to lose was hard.  They had

already lost about 16 people by then.  It's

just not natural to have to keep your

hand on a car for hours.    I hope he gives

himself a pat on the back for having

lasted that long but he's probably

mad at himself instead.  I'm

proud of him for even trying!

This is the start of another set

of cards.  I am so in love with the metallic

thread that I can even put up with

the tangling that happens.  The thread is

a little bit stretchy which makes it tangle

much easier.  Sometimes the tangle

is too difficult to get out and you

have to start with a new piece of thread.

 

I got a text yesterday from Pam with

my "homework" for Monday's class.

I have to review the story of the three

little pigs and consider how to tell

the story from each character's

perspective.  I had to read the story!

I totally forgot about the wolf falling

in boiling water and dying and that's

how the pigs escaped from his clutches-

in addition to having the strong brick

house, of course.  It's pretty sad that

I had to read it again to remember

such a simple story!  That's what getting

older does to you, I guess.   I never

liked the story anyway.  Even as a

child it insulted my intelligence, LOL.

Yeah, yeah, I know there's a reason

for the story.  "Do it right the first

time and you won't have to do it again."

At least that's what I get out of it.

But it's still a dumb story.  I doubt

I told it to my kids.  I did read Dr.

Seuss but hey, he's a literary genius.

 

Happy Thursday!
