God Made My Fingers and God Made My Toes.

So i'm filling out this paper work for school next semester. It's crazy. Basically, I'm your typical middle-class American college student that makes enough money to not qualify for any grants, but not enough money to actually pay $25,000 to go to school. 
Beautiful.
So about this paperwork. Basically here's what it is. It's called a professional judgement form. Since my Dad has been gone, my Mom's income has dropped drastically. But that doesn't show on my FAFSA. So I have to send in all of this stuff and if it's approved, I may get my school paid for. Which would be awesome. If it isn't approved... well... we'll figure out plan B later. 

Financial Aid has never been an easy-breezy process for me. I think those people were horribly damaged at some point in their life. They aren't good people. 

There's something you should know: I'm currently not eating meat. I've done this before... but it didn't last as long as I had intended. I always thought this would be easier because I only eat chicken, fish and turkey... but those are hard for me to give up. But ya know, Jesus died for me. I can go without meat. So if you have an vegetarian recipes... pass them on over. 

I'm "babysitting" at my friend/boss's house because he is in the emergency room. 
Around 7 AM tomorrow morning he will be appendix-less.
Here's what I walked into this evening:


I about peed my pants. This is the weirdest dog on the planet. 
shh... don't tell Bill. He's very partial.

And here is what is in their front lawn:

This is much funnier in person. Up close you can tell that it's pewter or whatever. But from the inside of your car it looks like a black Jesus. 
It wasn't expected at all. 

It's late and I'm bored. We don't have television at our home so when I'm at Billy and Ami's.... I binge. It's bad. 
I just watched 2 hours of Dawson's Creek.(I'm pretty sure I've never seen a full episode of that show until now.)
ugh... I must go to bed. I'm going to go lay down with this guy.

Go to myrecipes.com and make their ricotta and spinach stuffed shells, only I don't use ricotta. I use cottage cheese. It's the best.
Look up a hearty lentil soup recipe on allrecipes.com
Black bean soup is also yummy and will give you the stuff you're missing from your meat. Just type it in the search part of allrecipes and pick the recipe with the highest rating. You can't go wrong.

It was the appendix! Wow.
Oh... I thought they were African American! Man, now I'm a little bummed.
But that picture of Reese is the best thing.

A) Dawson's Creek...?
B) who taught Gabe that song?? It's not like they have children's church where you live...

My word verification to post my comment is "agingno". I swear, my life is The Truman Show.

We had to put one of those collars on my dog once. Didn't stay on very long; he hated it, tried his hardest to get it off, and we were afraid he would hurt himself on the thing.

Another time, Arnold was sick of the dog's shedding and put a t-shirt and a pair of long john bottoms (legs cut short, and hole for his tail) on him! And the dog love it! Go figure.
