Why do sheets not fit mattresses anymore? This falls under the category of minor things that I get obsessed with fixing, irregardless of the fact that I have not control over them and in reality I’m just wasting my time. Anyway… here is a post that I actually wrote four years ago but never published.

Challenge yourself – take as many as you possibly can, be involved in extra-curricular activities, be an officer in a club or organization, volunteer, and in your spare time it would be good if you could do something like start a non-profit. And then you might be able to get into a good university.
Really, who knows? Because lots of kids do all that and then they don’t get into a “good” university.

It was all foods I absolutely loved, or grew to love. I certain I didn’t love the asparagus when I was five. I do know I started eating it just for the buttered toast drenched in cream of mushroom soup that was on top!
It was the only time of year we had most of those dishes, but a bit repetitive. So when I finally got the chance to host my own Christmas, I decided I wanted to do something different for dinner. I’ve changed the menu every year since, but a beef roast is often featured….
