I'm contemplating starting again blogging. But I still have to take one more final. So I'll leave you with this classic tale of my summer vacation in July of 2005. Enjoy.As John was going not only to see his Mom but also his step dad Rick who raised him, he packed his 45 caliber hand-cannon, which normally lives on the top shelf in the garage. (Attention Burglars: It's gone now.) It seems that

So today was my last real day at work. I do need to go back tomorrow to oppen the door for someone, but I'm done. YAY!***Earlier today, I got to revisit a painful moment.I was sitting in the car at an intersection today and I glanced to the car next to me, seeing a woman I had met before, maybe four or five years ago. And I remembered meeting her at my work, and she had with her what appeared to

So, let's call it a 6 month Sabbatical. While I went to school and worked.So much has happened.So little has changed.First up: My job is ending at the end of March. The corporation is closing my branch. I'm fine with that. Hopefully I can draw unemployment this spring and summer. If not, I have two interviews for design jobs lined up. Which is exactly what I don't want to do anymore. So, here's

I am done with alcohol. She has betrayed me for the last time. This body took three days to fully recover from four beers and a shot of Frangelico. And then I pop over to my blog, and find some unauthorized nutjob has posted a lot of information about my life I would normally not have shared in a public forum. After all my years of loyalty, this is the final straw. No more liquor for me. Carry

Whatever.My best friend's first ex-husband saw me, grabbed my face, and planted the best kiss I've had in a LOOOONG time on me. Called me his girl and told me to leave my husband.

Yeah, faced with the prospect of 12 hour workdays and dealing with my son's ever-increasing Kinder problems I have decided there is no way I can do 12 credits, even online. So I dropped them all. There were waiting lists for the classes I was registered for, so I like to think it was my little way of helping other students get the classes they need to graduate, so they can avoid lives of crime

It's not for having been busy. It's just that my life is so boring, I can't even start a post without getting sleepy.But that's gonna change, real quick.I have been working at pizza hut since the middle of June (though it feels so much longer) and having a little extra income and seeing how much more we really need, I came to the conclusion that I had to get a job, stat.

I was sitting on a D plus with no hope of passing. I need to get OK about the dissection and then I will take it again.I'm taking the summer off school.

While in line for my pre-class coffee yesterday, I ran into a girl who has my same biology class, but in the morning. I asked how lab went that day, and she told me they dissected a fetal pig. The smell was worse than the worst spoiled pork dipped in formaldahyde you could ever imagine, and at that idea, I wretched a little.

I took my final exams on Monday. Usually I am constantly checking the school website to make sure I got an A but this quarter I am checking to make sure I passed. Seriously.I applied to the Radiologic Sciences program March first and will know if I got in or not by May 15. Which seems like a really long time to wait. If I don't get in Plan B is to take another year of physics and chemistry so I

Maybe it was that kirby salesman who I yelled at through the door to go away last week.I have another stupid lab practical wednesday.

I cleaned my house and cleared it of children and husband to host a study group today. Understand that this took amazing feats of organization and whining, things I am typically not capable of.

After an all-star cramming session, I made it in to take my exam. I think I did fine, but I no longer care because since leaving school today I have been attacked by the worst stomach flu in the history of the world.

D) all I can think about is what he would be like in bed.And in Speech yesterday, some 19 year old athlete decided to look me in the eye during his speech, and I found myself wondering if he did that because he

My last final exam was Tuesday. I have been home, basically slipping into the same "I suck at being home" funk I escaped by going to school. Ah, well. January 3rd the new quarter begins.I have some good news, and some rather disappointing news.The good news is I finished the quarter with two A's and an A minus. Better than I expected, not as good as I'd wished for. But still pleased with myself.

Only two weeks to go before final exams. I am dangerously close to an A minus in two of my classes, must get them up before the end of the quarter.I am not a perfectionist, I just need straight A's (or pretty dang near) to have any hope of being accepted into the Rad Tech program. I was happy with my B plus in chemistry last spring but now that I know how many people are competing for so few

Pervs.Although I find it hilarious (because, you know, I'm a twelve year old boy ) that the last five times I've spoken in class I've gotten to use the word gonads repeatedly. GONADS.

I just smoked 2 puffs off of a found cigarette. The shame.I did manage to get ahold of myself before going further. I am going to pretend it didn'thappen, because I have made it 48 hours almost on half a smoke (early yesterday morning.)I am doing pretty well, although my school routine tomorrow may make it a little rough.Everyone who ever told me the secret of quitting smoking has said, "You just

I never organized all the reasons I am quitting smoking. I think maybe if I write them down, I may be more motivated. Because there is that moment, whilst trying to quit, where I lose it and stop at nothing to get a smoke. In that moment, I can't remember why I am doing this to myself. I must print this out and tape it to my steering wheel.1. Early death. Not appealing.2. Chemotherapy, emphysema.

AAARRGH.Could not fall asleep last night, for the patch, it BURNS. Stings. And itches. Which is possible to ignore during the day, but lying in bed? With no distractions? Not so much.So far consumed today: 1 pack of gummy lifesavers. One half bag of caramels. One half of one wayward cigarette found in my car, before coming to my senses and destroying it. The nicotine patches are working, it's

But first a quick update:My perfect score in Biology has been lowered to a 93%. Damn you, organic chemistry.Said organic chemistry was such a bitch, I missed s few episodes of Bonehead Math and Communications for Dummies (just to keep up with the homework), hence those grades are probably low A's as well.Real-life actual new friend mentioned before? Totally crazy. Like, paid an excorcist come to

I can't find the time for anything aside from going to school and doing biology homework. It's making me crazy, because everyday I think of something I want to blog about, but I never find the uninterrupted time. Right now I'm dashing this off while the baby is napping, but the molecular structure of amino acids and polypeptides is waiting in the office for my full attention.I think I made a

I am suprised this movie actually made it to my little city. Sadly, and not suprisingly, I was one of eight people in the theater including my two companions.Powerful Stuff. As Moveelvr said, you could really tell it was not an American Movie.That is true on so many levels.You must see this film.

I must be getting older. It's my birthday and I really don't care.My mom made us dinner and a cake last night...(my favorites) and babysat Saturday night so we could go see a dumb movie (I voted for The Constant Gardener, but was overridden by somebody's desire to see Four Brothers.)The movie was so dumb that I wanted to leave halfway through but J said (while agreeing it was dumb) if we spent

I have had such a bad run of luck the last week or so involving by rebellious physiology. Major dental issues, (2 temp crowns, 1 perm crown, loads of pain) and an odd swollen purple node on my jawline that I was told by my dear dentist was a leftover "bruise" from my last round of novocaine (not infection, as I had feared.) Upper respiratory infection complete with sinus pain and the runny nose

I had a great weekend in Reno, the wedding was a beautiful outdoor affair, we spent some time gambling, winning just enough to justify losing more (whoops) and seeing family. We were able to swing staying in a couple of nice hotels, and we had dinner oone night at a fantastic Japanese place. (I had the Chateaubriand, of all things, Tepanyaki style.

In better news, I wasn't on it yet.After waiting at the local airport for over an hour (which is a lot to wait here, only one airline) we were told our flight would be delayed two hours, which messed up our connecting flight. So we're back at home, and we'll leave at 5:15 AM. Yikes. I am more disappointed at the early hour than at not flying tonight. I laughed when they told us. I also got a lot

I will take you up on it ASAP.Tomorrow we are supposed to leave for what was once planned as being a fun weekend without the kids.

Things that are contributing to my foul mood. (And no, I am not PMSing. That's way worse than this:)1. I went to the doctor today about my lower back pain, which was way better this morning than it has been. He proceeded to make me wait for 45 minutes, then manipulated my back in such a way that I can no longer sit, stand, or lie down without pain. Then he told me I need an MRI.2. Oh, GOD THE

I just returned from the grocery store. Thankfully, Baby is asleep and SuperBoy is playing video games. My non-perishables and produce are sitting on the dining room table, begging my attention, but I have ignored my kitchen for so long I have no where to put them. I need to clean out the fridge, but before I do that I have to take out the garbage and unload the dishwasher, which isn't finished

What began as an innocent little sleep over is now a full blown slumber-thon (I imagine, without the slumber part.)My most adorable pregnant friend Lisa just came by to drop of her two oldest girls to stay over with my nine year old. She also had her younger two with her, ages four and two. I couldn't ler her leave with the younger two, because it's pretty obvious she's in the early stages of

So, it seems Moveelvr is trying to kick the smoky habit. Best wishes to him, I have tried many times and I have not had the mental strength to do it.I think it's my fault he started in the first place. We were in our senior year of high school, and painfully cool. In fact we were so cool, we were the only ones cool enough to notice how cool we were. So in 1990, it wasn't really cool to smoke, but

So sayeth the 4 year old superboy.So a couple of weeks ago I sent the kids to Vacation Bible School every morning for a week. And, while we as yet have not gone to church as a family, I really thought it would be good for them. While I dislike some Christians, what's not to love about Christ? I wish more people in the word were Christ-like. Including me.Anyway, the theme of thew VBS was "Jesus

Although it looked to be a soft green at the hardware store (and currently looks that way on my fingers) the paint in the laundry room is decidedly white.I'm only halfway through the cutting in, though, perhaps the green will .. aw fuck it, at least it's clean.Whilst prepping for the painting, I noticed that the mildew on the ceiling did, in fact, just wipe off.I was sure it was a stain, as it

The bedskirt is all wrinkly though....I was sure I bought a queen size skirt but it is way too big. Hopefully big enough for my king size bed I hope to have one day. The duvet is convertable for just that purpose. I couldn't get my files to fit in the desk (long story) so that bitch will just have to wait.Laundry is almost all done.

Less sick today, ready to get busy.It's the perfect kind of summer rainy day here at the Accidental House. Cool and windy, lots of wet, smells so clean. I love it. By the way, when you leave your carseats out in the driveway overnight, they might get wet, rendering you unable to take the kids out of the house at all.SInce I am stuck here, I decided that I spend entirely too much time doting on

As often occurs, I have put my day on hold trying to get the baby to sleep. I have been negligent by way of routines, and now I am paying the price. I could shower while she's awake, but that would be too easy I guess.As it's now 3:30 the odds of me getting anything else done while I wait for my elusive shower is highly unlikely.TOmorrow's goal...Shower before J leaves.
