So, even though it's not the last week, we took our final "exam" in my writing class. I use the term exam lightly because the questions did not require right or wrong answers, just thought. We could answer any 5 of the 50 questions, but we had to answer #46:
"What makes something beautiful?"
-- How would you answer that question?
Later, while waiting for my next class to start, one of my teachers was harried about entering some grades into the computer. I said "Well, I can help if you want. I'm not doing anything and I was a pretty good data entry clerk at my last job." So I spent an hour inputing the scrawls from scraps of paper. When I was done, I was joking about owing me a sandwich or a pack of Ramen. Instead I found two five dollar bills on my purse! So thanks!
At my next class, I met up with Gene, the classmate who I made a beautiful blue and silver beaded lanyard. She loved it and donated $25 for it! And she gave me a set of notecards she found. She said "I saw these and thought of you instantly" They say "what's shakin'" and have a picture of a piece of bacon on it. I love them!
Now, with my free $35 I decided to go see a movie since I have not been since Christmas when I went with my friend, Jeff and saw "Django". I went to Studio Movie Grill and unbeknownst to me, ladies get in for $5 on Tuesdays! I ended up seeing "Identity Thief" and laughed out loud quite a bit.
Just the other day I was thinking, "How can I generate some more income?" I'm still working on that and I will test it out soon.

I would love to meet your mother, Vicki! She'd be my own age, thereabouts. How wonderful to have a mother who's so very proud of you!
What makes something beautiful, to me, is the aesthetic enjoyment one gets out of it. Which is what your mother said so well, much better than I can, in her email.
I'm glad to have an internet friend who's digging her life so completely. I'm living my "shut-in" life, vicariously, through your blogging your awesome adventures... so keep on keepin on!
