Bucket List-Algebra

jachancellorLeave a comment

I can now say that I have conquered Algebra!  I received my final grade of “C”.  I will take it.  I so struggled with this.

I knew the material, just really struggled with the tests.  Overall, I did well.  I am so thankful it is done.  The anxiety with the tests was really overwhelming.  I tried my oils, medicine, and breathing techniques.  I still found myself staring at my test with – uhm – what is this? I LOVED this from Carmen.  My family has been incredibly supportive.

I have made it a goal to take six courses (two classes per semester) in 2018 beginning with Statistics (math again), and Nutrition.  I am not looking forward to the Statistics course, but I am the Nutrition course.  I think if I can get through this next math, I will be okay in school.  I know that I will struggle, but just looking forward to learning and growing.

So onward, right?  Happy to have a break for a couple of weeks.

Blessings!!

An invisible thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance.  The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break.  May you be open to each thread that comes into your life —the golden ones and the coarse ones —and may you weave them into a brilliant and beautiful life.

Thankful for the golden and coarse threads in my life journey.

Blessings!

Lunch

My Mom used to eat canned, sliced pears and cottage cheese together all of the time for lunch or a snack.  I crave it every once and a while.  Today is one of those days.

Firecracker Saltines

jachancellor1 Comment

I made these years ago when I had them at church potluck and had to have the recipe.  I loved them, and they are highly addictive.  (Not good for a reset week – but we are having a potluck a work today, and made these last night.)  These pair well with my pimento cheese or on their own.

Ingredients:
1 cup canola oil
1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch (dry)
3 teaspoons of red pepper flakes
4 sleeves saltine crackers

Instructions:
Place sleeves of crackers into a large Glad container.  In a bowl, mix oil, ranch dressing mix, and red pepper flakes.  Continue to stir the mixture. You don’t want the red pepper flakes to settle.  Drizzle the mixture over the crackers.  Put lids on the container and turn upside down every 5 min. for 30 min.  Will keep for up to a week.

Blessings!
