A Mad Tea Party

See Goal Number 10? Kiss it good-bye. I hosted a tea party at my house today. It was lovely. I made scones and danishes (which helps with goal number 63), as well as cucumber sandwhiches. That was quite an adventure. Neither my mother nor I had made any such food before, but our directions were fairly easy. The danishes turned out delicious, as did the scones (although, I'm more partial to danishes).


I finished cooking around 1:30, ate some sausage for lunch, and then got ready for my friends' arrival. I wore a one-shoulder dress with my brand new wedges (I've been dying to wear them, so I jumped at the oppurtunity). Finally, Meaghan and Madison got here. We ate, chatted, and Madison played classical music. It was a great day.


Oh, goal number 60 can be crossed off as well. A couple of weeks ago, I saw The Phantom Tollbooth at my school. Not only did I get math extra credit, I got to see a play I hadn't read since sixth grade. It wasn't the best performance, but for a high school play, it was good. I'm glad I went.

I'm headed to New Orleans the day after tomorrow, and I'm sure some goals will get crossed off then.

I'm a terrible blogger.

In my defense, these past few weeks of school have been crazy. Thank goodness I only have one official week and exam week left. Then summer! Hopefully I can knock out quite a few goals over that break. I haven't been doing too well on that front.


That's not to say I haven't been working on some of my goals though. I started reading The Bell Jar today, and although I didn't get to post this before May ended, I most certainly didn't forget about my May saint.


Actually, I was confirmed exactly a week ago, so in honor of this, my May saint is also my Confirmation saint: St. Clare of Montefalco. A nun extremely devoted to the Passion, Clare actually saw a vision of Christ, and He placed His cross on her heart. What a perfect reminder to us of all the cross we are called to bear on our own hearts.


Also, I applied to Starbucks the other day. It was a long application, and kept asking me questions about what adjectives I would use to describe myself or giving my hypothetical situations. Then, completely out of the blue, it started asking me about where I lived during Katrina, if I was displaced, and the like. It completely threw me off, because Katrina isn't mentioned a whole lot here, especially since it happened nearly six years ago. But hey, if those questions help me get a job, I'm okay with it. They probably don't get many affirmatives to that here.


Anywho, that's it for now. I hope to have better and more frequent updates for you within the upcoming weeks.
