A-Z Intro

School.... well, it is a job as in it is work... at least it was for me. Never came easy so it was work for me. :P I am partial to that author bit, though.... school just brings up bad memories of my indelible inability to remember the right answers. haha (Not sure why that's funny... retrospect I guess )
Mod
That cheeseburger pie sounds scrumptious!!!!
Sierra, does the cheeseburger pie happen to be a recipe from Trim Healthy Mama? Just wondering cause we make a meal exactly like that. :)
Mod
Yes, it is Tamara!!! Everyone in my family loves it!!!! I htink it's pretty good myself :D
Yeah, we like it too! Although it's a little rich for me, I like to tame it down with tomatoes. :)
Mod
The cheeseburger pie ting does sound pretty good.

I can never remember ANYTHING. I'll read the lessons, go to do the assignment and be like, "Wait, what?" I can remember everything else in life, but school.
I do love being homeschooled though! It's especially nice, because it allows me to do the things I love doing more often. Like writing. :)
