• There were 4 people out from work today so the rest of us had a busy day covering for them.  It actually wasn't too bad...it was very steady and busy without being overwhelming.  I thought, at least.  Perhaps there were others who would disagree. 

  Tonight I had dinner with D from church.  We tried a new place called Le Chalet.  It is a fondue and crepe place.  I had never been there before.  I liked the ambiance, and the food was good, but not great.  I'd rate it a 6 out of 10.  I can't remember the name of what I tried-it was a puff pastry of some sort, but flattened, with a sour cream sauce of some sort, and then cheese, bacon, and apples on top of it.  I really liked it.  D liked what he had too, which was some meat concoction.  It tries my patience to listen to him order a meal out, because he is so unbelievably picky.  It is not an attractive quality, I can tell you that!

  I am watching Pride & Prejudice right now.  When we went to visit the babysitter yesterday, she and I were discussing movies and she thought I should watch this, and so she sent me home with her copy.  I didn't really necessarily plan to watch it tonight but then I figured it was silly to go to bed at 8:00 on a Friday night, so I decided to watch this instead. Now I am all caught up in watching Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy fall for each other.  I read this book YEARS ago, but I had forgotten how it went, so maybe things will take an unexpected turn of events and she will fall for someone else.  Who knows?

  Also while watching, I fried up some hamburger for this week's recipe.  I can't remember the name of it, but it has a cornbread bottom, and then a mixture of hamburger, mixed veggies, cheese, and tomato paste for the topping.  It looks very good.  I hope that the cornbread bottom doesn't get soggy-but we'll see! 

  In the morning I will be at job #2 by 10:00 and then have plans to go hiking on my favorite mountain after that.  I will probably get off by 5:00pm, which should leave over an hour of daylight.  I think I can make it to the mountain and around, so long as I take the bottom trail.  I'm really looking forward to going, as I haven't been in months. 

  I read a quote yesterday-don't remember who said it, but it was like this:  "If someone wants to be a part of your life, they will make an effort to be in it, so don't bother reserving a space in your heart for someone who doesn't want to stay."   What do you all think of that? I think there is something to be said for it, although I think we need to not harden our hearts TOOO much.  I've been guilty of that.
