If you are not a family member and you ever call me Liz Willy, something bad will happen to you.

I'm just letting you know. But anyway.

I weaseled a $23 book out of Mommy and Daddy. Yup, they were thrilled that I wanted a book with a mini-Bible study in the back. But it's all good. I love Max Lucado's books, and I just got his most recent one, Come Thirsty. More on that later, probably...

I may be able to weasel a very cheap guitar out of Mommy and Daddy also. My dad's old one never stays in tune very long, just long enough for me to practice. Now, don't get your hopes up. I'm not making any promises, I'm just bored. And I know the Em and Am chords now. Yay for me.

I also began another cross-stitch. I really must be bored. But it is kinda rewarding when a picture appears. This time I'm doing a puppy and a kitty. Hee hee.

Yesterday I prepared my very first seafood dish. Tilapia with jalapeno and lemons. It was yummy. And tilapia is a kind of fish. I never heard of it until I got it from the grocery store last week, so I took a gamble. Especially since the recipe I used was supposed to be for trout. But tilapia is a little bit subtler in taste than most fish, so it didn't interfere with the strong tastes of the lemon and the pepper.

Saturday Jennifer and I went to visit Stacie. We ate pizza, threatened to murder this guy who kept calling her (I said, "Where's my gun?"), and then we had a singalong. Jennifer and Stacie grooved along to Mariah while I screamed for the madness to end (I used to really love that song, but if you hear a song at least 3 times a day every day for 3 weeks, you won't like it anymore...). But I got her back. Stacie and I sang Alanis Morrissette while Jennifer looked at us like we were nuts. (We were acting a little tipsy, throwing our heads back and pretty much yelling, "It's like RA-A-AIIIIN....ON YOUR WEDDING DAY!")

Huh. And I thought I had nothing to write about.
