I've been making a lot of meatloaf lately inspired by Crystal's post. She is right, that ketchup topping (ketchup, brown sugar, mustard) is delicious!
In other news son K told me has a new girlfriend. She is a pretty girl and sounds really nice. He is 19, so it's normal. I was just hoping he could keep his focus on school for a bit longer as we work towards a college diploma. Staying positive, maybe this will make him more mature and focussed. And I don't know if it is a good or bad thing that she doesn't live close by although they are at the same school for now. As I've mentioned K has a non-verbal learning disability which affects math and english. He had a really awful first girlfriend when he was 16. That one couldn't understand why he had to listen to his parents at the time. I don't think I'm too protective, more on the practical side.
So how do you spell 'focussed?' Some say 'focused'.

The meat loaf looks grea. Hope that K's new girl friend will be good for him!
The meatloaf look so good.
Oh I hope the new girl friend will be nice to your son:)
I love meatloaf! David has been wanting me to make one again. Maybe, I will.
I am glad your son has found someone he likes. It's important to have good heterosexual relationships.
I can't believe I've been spelling it wrong all this time, or if it's considered wrong
I love the ketchup, brown sugar, mustard topping on meatloaf. I add it all the time! And I spell it 'focused'. It's nice that your son has a girlfriend. Our kids need to learn how to be in relationships, and when they're in one, they also learn about who is (or isn't) compatible with them. That way, they make good choices for long-term relationships.
Adam it seems Canada and Europe (Australia and New Zealand too) do focussed and America does focused.
thanks for your insight everyone!
The photos of your meat loaves remind me of fruitcake which reminds me I need to start assembling the ingredients for that venture.
I spell it focused. I hope your son's new girlfriend is understanding, I'm sure she's very nice.
It is meatloaf season, soon. This hubby can still eat at home. No dairy, eggs, yeast, she says, reminding herself... !
You know I spell it both ways. Either one looks wrong doesn't it. I guess I usually do it with the two ss.
Oh Christine I do not envy you. Your son and his new girlfriend. Your kids are going to be fine, absolutely fine. They have wonderful parents and great values. Mistakes will be made as he is young but he will bounce back and do very well. I guess given his last girlfriend was so awful you would naturally worry how this one is. But least he got the awful girlfriend first and that will mean he will know what he doesn't want with the next one. You are a great mother and I can say that as I have been reading your blog for forever. Say a few prayers and leave it up to the universe. The great thing is he tells you about it so that is a big deal. Just keep the communication going and hope you get to meet her soon.
