I made myself another three piece, Christian pizza dinner last night which was a nice way to end the day. Not a ton else to report. As I mentioned yesterday, fall break is coming up this weekend and since I don’t have school on Friday, I’m counting down the last two days of class until I get myself a nice little five-day break.
On days like this I might start throwing out a couple of questions to my esteemed audience.
