Jonathan wants to join the
Invention Convention at school.
Now we need to come up with an idea.
I wanted to do a button on the tv
that when pressed would make the
remote control beep so you could
find it when lost. But after looking
at some invention convention videos
I see someone has already done this.

Soooo...
if you have any ideas for an invention,
please send them my way!!
It doesn't have to be electronic
and can be anything you can think of
that would make life easier.
It cannot have a patent.

Ok I just glanced in the fridge
and it's time to use up some
stuff.
I have a bag of stir-fry veggies,
a package of sliced mushrooms
a couple packages of salad,
maple sausage and some
leftover shredded cheese.
I also have my ham and bean soup
in there thawed out as well.

So need to figure up
a meal plan for a couple of days.

maple sausage, shredded cheese
and lettuce- Taco Salad.
Need nacho chips.

Stir-fry veggies-
Stir fry veggies with
teriyaki sauce over brown rice.

Maple sausage, mushrooms-
salisbury steak with mushroom soup
gravy with sliced mushrooms.
And mashed potatoes as a side.
(have a 10 pound bag of potatoes also)

Ham & bean soup
with cornbread and salad.

My tip when using fatty ground
meats is when draining I also
rinse off the meat with hot water
to help remove more of the fat.

I seen that this new show

Earlier today my mind was drawing
a blank when put on the spot
for an invention idea.
I remembered something I always
thought they should make.
If you have a house full of boys
you know how disgusting the
toilet area can get. Someone
always dribbles or
overshoots the whole thing in the
middle of the night for a backboard shot
because they are peeing blind in the dark.
Gosh sounds like I'm talking about basketball, lol.
So I want something that
fits onto the toilet lid hole with
a rounded back like a urinal.
Maybe even make it glow in the dark
for the middle of the night pee breaks.
It would need to be glow in the dark
because not everyone has an outlet
in the bathroom that stays on
once the light switch has been turned off.
So having a night light in there is out
of the question.

Finally, after 2 days, I got
my latest cupcake done.
It consists of a jumbo cupcake (bottom)
and 4 mini cupcakes.
I'm so glad this one is done!
I've never had one give me
so many problems.
I had to redo the top as
I wasn't happy with the first
one I made.

5:00pm

I saw a glimpse of the news preview
on channel 6. A picture on there
looked like UV so upon further
investigation of checking out
their website I found it was UV.
Apartments are being burglarized.
Campus Crime Alert.

8:00pm

Both kids are spending the night
at a friend's house.
Boy the house sure is quiet.
It doesn't feel right.
