Let me know if you didn't receive it. My Bible name was DayStar Needeleye. I don't think I was blonde, just a light brunette. I was a seamstress for Helah when I was in Troy, and she used to scare the heck out of me. She would buy material and get a pattern she liked (didn't matter that it was 3 sizes too small for her) and then tell me I better not make any mistakes, and it better fit her right! Whew! I did a lot of sweating and praying, ha! Laundry was my other job there. I also did a little childcare.
They tried me on cooking once - and only once - that was a nightmare. I had never cooked a thing before in my life, and I was supposed to have dinner ready when everyone came home at 6:00. Well, I had no idea it takes more than 5 minutes to cook stuff - especially raw vegetables. So when everyone came home at 6, and the pots had not yet reached boiling temperature, and nothing else was even beginning to cook, I was so in the dog house. They didn't ask me to cook again after that, thank God. I even got rebuked for making the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches wrong once. Geez! Ah, well, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. :-)
