Friday again...

Sigh. I got hooked into watching Survivor last night. Now I'll have to watch EVERY single episode or I'll not be able to go on. I hate it when I get hooked to a show like that. It happened with the first season of Survivor. I saw the third episode, and from then on my dad and I had to see how it played out. Poor ol' Hatch! :)

The girls' room is clean. Phew! That was a CHORE! I don't know how they do it, but they can destroy that room in no time. Then it gets too overwhelming for them to clean it by themselves. It's done now, thankfully.

Superbowl this Sunday. Yay. I am so excited I can hardly contain myself (Don't step in the dripping sarcasm) . I think Andrew and the girls are going over to his dad's to watch the game, but I SO don't wanna go. Not sure what I'm going to do here all by my lonesome! Guess I'll have to muddle through. Maybe I'll rent a movie. Any good suggestions?

I'm really craving some Hickory Cheddar Cream Cheese from Big Apple Bagels . I go there about once a week for a Caramel Latte and sometimes a Breakfast BLT. The cream cheese is the DEBIL! Going there makes me feel like a grown up. Cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich in a cafe with NO kids is such a treat. It's the little things...

Hundreds Day

Today was Cora's 100th day of school. They had a bunch of activities with 100 of a lot of different things. Cora brought 100 rubber bands. She came home with a cool Crown that had 100 little stickers on it.

I played a little Super Mario Brothers tonight. Cora was playing and couldn't get past a part, so I came in and kinda commandeered the controller from her. It was a blast. I hadn't played in a LONG time! It felt good to play like a kid again.

Phew!

So, I got my first quiz in Bioethics out of the way. Did pretty well on it, and even caught a mistake in an answer. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. Thank goodness. Now, to get my other two classes' work done for this week. I just read a short story called "The German Refugee" for my American Ethnic Lit class.

I'm shooting again tonight at the bow club. I haven't practiced all week, so hopefully I don't tank too badly.

Cora's teacher called this morning because Cora forgot her lunch. She said that Cora didn't know what to do, so I told her to tell Cora to just eat at school. Cute kid.

I watched the European Figure Skating Championships the other night. All I could think of was how I missed my dad. He and I used to watch figure skating together all the time, and Olympics time was an exciting time for us. We'd argue over if the Americans would win Gold. We'd speculate on who would pull off a quad.
I'm still watching this year, but his presence is definitely missed.

Ok....

Ok...maybe I'm completely deluded. I created a poker themed digital kit tonight. It's not much, but I had fun playing around.

Here's a preview.


You can download it here if you want to give it a try. Please let me know if you encounter any problems with it; I'm pretty new to this. Also, please leave a comment if you take it; I would like to know if anyone likes it.

Thanks!

"Tell us about your first paycheck. Who did it come from? How much was it? What did you spend it on? Have you never received your own paycheck? How do you feel about that?"

My very first real paycheck was a direct deposit pay stub from the Mississippi Army National Guard for my first weekend drill. It was only like 80 bucks (I was a Private). I was 17, and that money was SOOOOO cool! I sure did think I was a grown up! I don't even remember what I did with that money. All I know is that it ROCKED!

What a freaky Winter this is!

It's RAINING! There is NO snow on the ground. This is MICHIGAN!!!!! It's just totally weird not to have snow and it be 5 degrees outside.

Not much going on today. I'm supposed to be going to get my brother- and sister-in-law from the Detroit airport today. They were on a week-long cruise. Bah! :) Driving to Detroit is not what I wanted to do today, but my MIL can't do it. It'll be alright.

Hmmm...what else. I watched a movie last night that I had never heard of! It was "Staying Alive" with John Travolta and Cynthia Rhodes. I can't believe I actually watched the whole thing since I really don't like John Travolta. There was even a cameo by Sylvester Stallone, who also wrote, produced and directed it. Total 80's movie!
