I&#8217;m off the hook for dinner tonight.<\/p>\n<p>That was a good thing, because I had to spend a couple hours going to and from school to prep for my final tomorrow morning. Eek! I am so, so scared. I realized en route that when I get really scared, I listen to the Christian radio station a lot more. They direct a lot of their messages to people in crisis, and it&#8217;s so reassuring to hear over and over again how God is there and won&#8217;t let you down.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, I was very happy to discover that the chef there was my favorite chef at the school, and he let me use his already cut-up chicken for my final. I didn&#8217;t even have to cut a chicken! I hate working with raw chicken, so that felt like a tender mercy.<\/p>\n<p>Then I came home just in time for pest control to come de-bug our house. They also washed the entire exterior of our house with peppermint spray to deter mice, my #1 phobia. I continue to use mint scented products for my personal care because I believe so strongly this will deter the rodents from my presence. The idea that my whole house has just been <i>bathed<\/i> in peppermint spray is unbelievably invigorating.<\/p>\n<p>After that, we went out to dinner. We found a Groupon for a restaurant called Oregano&#8217;s. The food and service were a let-down, but the ambiance scored perfect points!<\/p>\n<p>Here are my pictures:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_0556.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7132\" alt=\"IMG_0556\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_0556-e1430543867867-768x1024.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_0565.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7133\" alt=\"IMG_0565\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_0565-e1430543889200-768x1024.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_0572.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7134\" alt=\"IMG_0572\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_0572-1024x768.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a>Then we came home and I did my homework assignment while Abe and the girls packed.
