Preppy Photos. Plum. Personality.

So here are some pics of DD's first day at school as promised. :)

Summer dress, hat, school bag (with her bag tag made with Mommy's love) :D :D

She was soooooo tired, she fell asleep in the car on the way home.
Poor thing.....

Not only was she tired, she made me tired too! I can't remember when was the last time I had to wake up at 7.00am!!! Losing 2 hours of sleep, doesn't just make you go feel tired 2 hours before your regular bed time. It completely knocks you out all day! Man! I could not concentrate driving, I welcomed a forum newbie by a name that's not hers, congratulated another forum member but spelt her newborn baby's name COMPLETELY wrong! I don't know if anyone remembered one of my entry last year this time when Ellen started kinder.... I left my front doors opened while I left to pick her up? Yah... I'm just about there right now...

For the 1st 3 days at school last week, she could not finish half her lunches! This is coming from a girl who cries hunger every other hour when she's at home. One day, she even complained that her lunch is cold. Oooops... can anyone tell who she got that from? :D I basically told her to suck it up, that's life at school babe! LOL.... And I see layouts coming soon, especially with the last photo. :)

2 posts ago I said I was going to make my Plum Jam. I finally found a few decent jars. 2 hours later, I was about to pour my jam into the sink. It just wouldn't set! This is when I started googling for topics like "JAM NOT SETTING"... THEN I found out that my plums, though high in pectin (hence no jam setting sugar required), are now too ripe. Plums that are too ripe start losing their pectin. AND cooking it for too long also causes pectin to break down. So the solution??? Label them as PLUM SAUCE. Use them as glaze. NOW I HAVE 5 JARS OF PLUM SAUCE... ANYONE WANTS SOME???????
