The Days Keep Rolling...

It has reached the point in summer where the days just seem to blend into one another, leaving me confused as to what day of the week it actually is. What's worse is that I'm having trouble recalling what I did just a few days earlier.

Relating this to my summer mission...the huge challenge that has loomed over the past week and a bit has been the challenge to keep myself occupied. I believe I have done quite well. For those people who REALLY know me, you know I get bored easily. When I am bored I am not always the most cheerful person. Thankfully I'm getting better at dealing with free time.

Day 42 - Thursday, August 12th

Challenge: To bake an apple pie from scratch.

Results: It was fun and tasted pretty good too. Even Sean thought so (but he may sometimes feel the need to lie to me). What was most important is that it occupied my time for a good chunk of the afternoon.

Day 43 - Friday, August 13th

This is one of those days which I have forgotten...but I do remember that I was busy for most of day.

Day 44 - Saturday, August 14th

Challenge: Play a game and if you lose (or start to lose) don't be a sore loser.

Results: I didn't have to deal with the losing part because I just so happened to WIN every game we played. GOOD DAY!

Day 45 - Sunday, August 15th

I went to Winnipeg but didn't really stretch myself too far.

Day 46 - Monday, August 16th

Challenge: Bake ALL afternoon and then give it all away.

Results: I managed to muddle my way through plenty of recipes...most of which turned out well. We got rid of most of it, but couldn't quite cut all ties, and managed to keep some samples for ourselves.

Day 47 - Tuesday, August 17th

Challenge: Make some plans to get out of the house...it's time!

Results: Next week is shaping up to be an awesome looking week.

Day 48 - Wednesday, August 18th

Challenge: Spend some time at school and get a solid plan for the year in mind.

Results: I have been doing lots of thinking about math (what could be better) and really like where things are going. I am excited!

Day 49 - Thursday, August 19th

Challenge: School supply shopping.

Results: Well this is one of my favourite things to do - so it really wasn't a challenge at all. Guess I fail!
