Thank You!

Thank you so much for your help, Vanessa! Deb, can you read my random thoughts now? It looked fine on my computer and on my daughter's computer when she read it, but when I went back to edit it, it showed up in weird little webdings hieroglyphics thingies. So I'm wondering if that is what y'all were seeing too and thought I was talking in alien or something. I'm sorry. Please leave me a comment and let me know if I fixed the problem. My daughter says other times the font size is too small or the ink color too light to show up on hers and makes it really hard to read as well. I apologize. Thanks, Deb, for asking so I'd know there was a problem. So now you think my whole alliteration explanation was weird too, right? Oh well, what can I say? Can I blame it on the cold weather freezing my brain? Please? When you are stuck at home for days on end watching it snow and when you do venture out it is 35 below zero wind chills, it does weird things to your mind for sure. Today we went to school on time for a change, but then they announced we'd be getting out at 12:30 as there were blizzard warnings coming. Pretty soon they announced we were getting out at 10:30AM instead! So I drove to town to be at work 3 hours! When the kids were gone, I stopped at Pamida and got my husband's meds and some other winter necessities for my daughter's car and headed on home in blowing snow. The roads were drifting pretty good already in places. But I got home okay and made lunch and then did laundry and made a new dessert recipe and a pot of homemade beef stew for supper and a pot of split pea soup as well. I'm the only one who likes split pea soup, so I don't usually bother to make it, but what the hey, I had the whole day practically. Now some cornbread muffins and we will have a feast. The wind is absolutely howling outside right now and although the temp. is currently 15 above zero, it is zero wind chill. They are saying tomorrow's actual high is to be zero and Thursday's high temp is to be 5 below zero (THAT'S A HIGH?)! So we will see if there is school tomorrow or not. We are to get another storm just like this one on Wednesday and more snow on Friday and Sunday. My daughter is to start driving to college tomorrow morning. I am picturing her having to take off through all those wonderful snowdrifts and it is scaring me.
Well, I am going to go fold clothes. Once again, thanks for your help. Please leave a comment and tell me if I fixed the problem. OK?

Aaaahhhh! Much better now. I am able to read your Random Ramblings. Such fun figuring out all that financial aide. Ha! My husband is the Dean of Students down here, so I know what a headache all that can be. By the way, did your daughter go to Drake? We have a nephew who is heading there in the fall. He will be playing on their soccer team.

Man, you have had some rough weather lately. I wish you could send some of the snow down this way. I want it to snow at least once this winter.
