End of the week...

So the last two weeks of school have been busy - tests, papers, presentations. I completely bombed my presentation for Postive Psychology - I had it together the week before, but when I presented a week late, I just stumbled and stammered and sounded like a fool. ME - TALKING - in front of a group!

Talked about Older women and Younger men in my Human Sexuality class....I'm all for that....NO - wait, I can't be - Kent is OLDER than me ;) JUST KIDDING - I love my man! But this led to how older MEN are proscecuted far more often than older Women when they are with kids younger than the age of consent. The "teacher" from Willow who was arrested and charged with a LOT of charges - is listed on the family watchdog site - proscecuted for ONE count of 2nd degree sodomy. Makes me sick. Had it been a MALE - he'd be locked up. Freaks.

Nothing really exciting in my other classes....just the usual. Our school's weight loss challenge started - the first week I lost 7 pounds, this week nothing - but I didn't gain either. :/ Hopefully will do better this week.

So, we left for North Carolina on Wednesday evening - after I took my workforce issues test. Drove for a little over 13 hours straight. By the time we got here, I couldn't walk. My back was hurting so bad!! I'm going to contact the pain treatment center when I get home - gonna have to. NOT looking forward to the drive home :(

Spent time with my Aunt Marlene and Uncle Philip....Melissa and Carlee came over and Carlee is the cutest baby girl EVER!!! She has latched on to Avery - as most kids do! And she's 'playing with her friends' and 'I love my cousins'. AND she has an accent just like Melissa's and I LOVE IT! :) My favorite-est cousin Scotty will be here Sunday and I get to meet his wife. I'm trying to keep an open mind, but no one is good enough for my Scotty! :p Seriously though - the family loves her, so I'm sure I will too!

We went to Mystery Hill today - I'd share the link to the place, but I don't really want to recommend them. It was $74 for the 'tour' of the place....sheesh...what a JOKE. The kids DID enjoy it though! I think the adults didn't need to go through. Tristan got car sick on the drive up - a CURVY mountain rode, BEAUTIFUL views, but nasty curves. He said afterwards "getting sick was SO worth it!!!" So, as long as they had a blast and made awesome memories!! I'll post pics when I get home! They had a 'vortex room' where gravity worked differently. Balls rolled uphill, and water flowed uphill....and it felt like it was pulling you down when you tried to walk. Then we had a bubble room - the kids got to be encased in a huge bubble - they liked that too. Then we had a great lunch and came back to the hotel. The kids went to the 'gym' in the hotel - by gym, we mean, 4 machines. One weights, two treadmills, and one bike. WOW. Now, everyone is snoring except Tristan, JJ, and I.

Tomorrow we are going swimming, then the kids are going out for pizza with Uncle Philip and I'm going to party with Melissa! :) WOOHOO!!! Then BBQ on Sunday with Scotty and his wife, then we are heading home!

Alright, signing off and goign to try to sleep some more....was wide awake when it was time to try earlier!

Be safe and carry on!

What to do? What to say?

Trying to come up with something to write about...googled all kinds of 'topics' things. Came up with a lot of 'areas' to blog about, but nothing that fit ME. Sometimes I could write for hours, and other times - I can't think of a thing to write.

School has been good the last couple of weeks - nothing 'huge' to talk about. In my minority groups class - I had a classic "Obama hater" who chose to pick a fight with me. I put him in his place in one witty comeback - and the professor was impressed, I think. I hate idiots. I really, really HATE idiots. I don't care if you don't like him - he IS our PRESIDENT. Live with it. I lived with the 'Dubya' fiasco for 8 years.....get over it.

Two weeks ago Wednesday....I came down with a cough....the congestion set in by morning, and the ears were throbbing. I've officially had this 'crud' for almost 2 weeks. I've had friends tell me that I should go - or should have gone....to the doctor. Antibiotics won't help - maybe with the ear infections, but I practice a 'less is better' approach to those - given the problems my kids have had with them. The ears aren't hurting anymore, and I have my voice back - to the chagrine of a few....:p I postponed my presentation in Positive Psych b/c I had little voice, and still felt completely cruddy. I missed two classes this week - and I don't ever do that!

Got a new laptop this week for school. I think for around the $400 I spent - it's going to be a GREAT help for me. The only drawback is that I can now watch the TV while on the laptop. Or lay in bed on the laptop. Must remember to keep depression in check and NOT live in my bed! I don't think this will be a problem, as I'm pretty happy lately! I do love doing my homework on the couch instead of at the desk....has helped my back pain immensley....Sa-WEET! :)

Watched a few episodes of 20/20/48 hours/dateline/60 minutes this week - all about husbands killing their wives b/c of affairs. Let me just say this - I'm happy I have the husband I do, b/c he would NEVER do that!!! Those shows make me sick - I can't imagine getting a thought in your head that murder would be easier than divorce....SERIOUSLY? When confronted with the options, you chose KILLING someone over a divorce? REALLY? I've been around a lot of people who have divorced - and while it isn't the BEST option for the kids - it's WAY better than MURDER. Dumb@sses.

Slightly addicted to farmville this week. We can collect gold this month instead of valentines. I'm currently #1....but that changes every few minutes. I have almost 400 - and that's after 2 days. What can I say...I like being #1!!!! Also another reason the lapop is a blessing/curse. I can check my gold status from the living room or bedroom....I know...jealous, aren't you!?

Going to bed soon....Kent is home after a week of working out of state, and it's nice to have someone to snuggle with again. :) Have I mentioned that I love my hubby? Cuz I do...he's pretty hot....:p

Carry on and be safe!

Carry on and be safe...
