That's GREAT, LeAnne! You're only the 2nd person whom I know has completed all the Briefs 101's so far!

I have all but the one adding "the" to the contractions mastered. Because they conflict with so many of my other briefs, I've had to rework a lot of them. They're such high frequency words (that's, there's, where's), it's taking longer than the other ones to learn. I had just about given up on those, when all of a sudden during Wednesday's job they started to click, and I realized "I can do this"!

LeAnne, have you completed Briefs Group 1 through 10? Have them mastered?

Mark,
Pizza always seems to triumph with teenagers -- husbands too :) Cute story. And, yes, we are blessed beyond measure in this country!!

Mark, I was feeling pretty good yesterday with the new Briefs video because I already had briefs for most of those. Then today on the next video I found out how many I don't have briefs for. LOL And I even learned to invert the A in theory oh-so-many years ago.

Got to tell you all a funny story. My daughter Madison (17 years old, senior in high school) would not like me telling it, but you guys won't tell, right??

Today after she came home from school, I asked her if she wanted to go eat with me, that I hadn't had lunch. She said, sure.

We got in the car, and I said, where would you like to go?
"Anywhere but Panda or Wendy's," she said. (Panda Express is my favorite fast-food)

I'll let you choose, I said.

How about Jade Bamboo, she suggested.
Kind of expensive, I said, but we can share and just order water.
Nah, forget it.
How about Chick-Fil-A? (all the suggestions are by me, from here on out)
No.
How about Taco Bell/Long John Silver's?
No.
McDonald's?
No.
Burger King?
No.
Fajita Willie's?
That's expensive.
True. How about Boston Market?
No.
Fuddrucker's?
Expensive.
Yeah. How about Jack-in-the-Box?
No.
Kentucky Fried Chicken?
No.
Schlotzky's?
No.
Quizno's?
I hate Quizno's.
Wing Stop?
No.
Subway?
Nah. There's JUST NOTHING GOOD AROUND HERE, she said.

(all these places are within 8 minutes of our house!!!)
Do we live in a great country or what???? And do our kids not realize it????

LOL Hope you enjoyed that. It just happened today.

Oh - we ended up eating at Cici's Pizza. LOL

Is anyone attending the CCRA convention at Miramonte next week?

Comment by Gwen Brass on September 29, 2009 at 23:10

Yes, I'll be there. Definitely say hi if you see me! I'll be sure and wear my name tag all the time.

Gwen, you'll be in the Gorge this weekend? I was planning on going, but finances haven't cooperated at all. Wonder if it would be worth the trip just to pop in and say hello to everyone. Only an hour's drive for me. If I go, I'll look for you!

Actually, no! I was listening to them in the order they're listed on the archive page. I listened to the first 10 or so (and then I did a few of the speed sessions), so I see now that that only includes Part 1 and Part 2 is further down. So I guess 3 and 4 are down there too. I'll have to go looking! Thanks.
