I have got to start watching what I eat again. Last night, Miranda was zonked and didn't want to cook. My cooking abilities are limited so we ordered a medium "Perfect 10" from Big Cheese Pizza. Nellie ate one piece, Patrick didn't eat his piece (he doesn't like pizza), Miranda ate two pieces, and I ate the rest (4 pieces)! I was ashamed.

Nellie and us are in a power struggle. Needless to say, she is whipping us big time. She brought her "A" game. She refuses to do a nombre deux dans les toilettes. Nombre un is covered but not deux. Negative reinforcement doesn't do squat. Positive reinforcement isn't available because she refuses. We cannot just make her go and she is just going to have to decide to change. and she will. eventually. But, oh the horrors.

Guitar stuff is sitting here, unpacked. I am going to try to get it unpacked next week. I'm a big believer in not getting in a hurry. Tonight is church, tomorrow night is cleaning out the car, and Friday night and all weekend, we are going to be in West Plains, MO. So next week is the earliest and then I will start my preliminary recording. I'm going to try to put 10 songs down on the computer and then sell my guitar. I believe Duncan Prior is going to do the CD for us, so I will email or send him the tracks and call it good.

Tomorrow night I have to clean out the truck and Miranda is packing. I am not a neat person but I had no idea that a vehicle could look as bad as ours does now. Food and drink in the car is one of the worst things but we are on the go so much, we don't have a lot of choices.
