I passed!

I passed the test! I don't have to take the class! I have one class to take I'll be done December 21st and I graduate. Perfect Christmas gift to myself!

What a difference a weekend makes

I'm feeling much better. Although, I'm tired from my busy weekend. I slept really well all weekend. I woke up a couple times with Sam snuggled in my arms. My sweet boy.

Libby and I started running. I need to get my butt in shape - literally! It didn't help that it was in the 90's and humid. We didn't run much/far since we're just starting out but I could feel it in my breathing.

I felt good after running though. I felt like I was doing something for me plus spending time with my sister is always a plus! I love that girl heart and soul.

We (Libby and I) saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I loved it! It was pretty funny. I love Johnny Depp. He can play any character fabulously! The movie was so wacky, what's not to like?!

I'm still waiting for my test results for my class. I'm entirely too anxious. I'm so afraid I'm going to fail and have to take the dumb class.

I did my friend's hair for a wedding she's in. I can't believe I didn't take a freakin' picture. It wasn't anything extraordinary but I like to take pictures of all my updos.

I'm so blue

I've got issues.

I think I'm having some sort of crisis.

I'm isolating myself.

I want to be left alone.

It's not fair to my friends.

I want to surround myself with positive people.

What do I want to do with my life?

Shouldn't I have some direction by now?

Happy Dance

Okay, I am beyond excited. I haven't had good news for so long that I'm not sure how to handle myself.


I started (part time) going back to school in the fall of '96 while I was still doing hair full time. I took one, two, or three classes each quarter. After I was 2/3 of the way through, I took a quarter off. That quarter turned into four years. I finally got back into it last spring and now, after all this time I will be done the end of this year.


The happy dance news is that I thought I had three classes left but now with careful checking, rechecking and asking, and double checking I know that I have ONE class left.


Can I believe this? Can you? One class and I'll be done. I dare not say it's "only" an AAS because it's quite an accomplishment for me. The whole time I was in school I worked full time. For more than half that time I also had a part-time job.


I'm done with school after this.

Freeee... kind of

I just took a hefty sum from my savings account and paid off my student loan. I have rid myself of paying that sucker for the next five years. I can now take that monthly payment and put it towards my savings for a home. I think it was the best thing to do. I got rid of that burden, the interest, all that jazz.


How tempted am I to take that monthly payment and do something fun with it? Very. But I'm a saver and I know how to restrain myself. Owning a home is far more rewarding!


Damn cool

The Boss Man

Is it really neccessary that the Boss Man be here everyday, all day? Isn't there an important meeting to attend or some off-site project that needs his attendance?



I've got slacking off to do and this is just a huge interferance.
