Grad School

I am patiently waiting (okay maybe not so patiently) to register for next semester in school. I have one class that I can take, I have already gotten my work schedule rearranged to fit the class, and I have been trying every day to see if they have posted my registration time. Today it was finally posted - noon on the first day of registration. Noon? Really? This particular class fills up so quickly that I am going to need to be sure that I am ready to register exactly at noon because I don't have a back up class I can take. So far this semester, grad school has been a lesson in patience and frustration. The professor puts himself to sleep during class (not a joke - it actually happened) and he hasn't graded papers that we turned in back in February. My team project is going very slow, so I just keep nudging my team mates to get their portion of the project done so I can get my portion done (I have to write the "conclusions" section of the project) and move on to the next semester. This is why I prefer individual projects over team projects.

Greys Anatomy & Private Practice

I have been a Greys Anatomy and Private Practice fan from the very beginning. Unfortunately, it seems like the shows have become more about who is sleeping with who than about the other story lines. I am starting to get a little bored with them. Come on writers, get back to what made the show good in the beginning; the stuff that drew us to get hooked on the show.

First Dog

One of my coworkers got her first dog this weekend. She has been thinking about it for a really long time and just happened to drive by one of the pet stores and saw the rescue group outside. This little pup caught her attention and so she made the leap into puppy parenthood. Unfortunately, the friends who were with her told her all of the easy things about raising a puppy and forgot to tell her about the not so easy parts like potty trips outside every 2 hours and how little sleep you get until they settle in to their new routine. She was a little frustrated today from lack of sleep, but after we talked for a while hopefully she will enjoy the new puppy.

Happy Easter

I hope everyone has a happy Easter and gets to spend it doing exactly what they want. We will be spending ours quietly at home watching movies and just relaxing.

Happy Easter.

Baby Maddox Has Arrived

I received a text from my brother today that baby Maddox finally arrived. He was born at 8:29am weighing 8.5 pounds and 21 inches long. I can't wait to see his first picture and hopefully this summer see both him and Seth.

Plantain Halcyon Lily

In October/November last year, I was in Lowe's and they had some plants on discount. They looked pretty sad, but they were only a quarter so I decided to by 2 of them. They were called Plantain Halcyon Lily. It was really hard to tell what they were supposed to look like, but for a quarter what did I have to lose. About 3 weeks ago, I checked them and the roots were still good, so I planted them in the ground. Today I noticed that at least one and maybe both of them are going to come back to life. I can't wait to see the lavender colored flowers they make.

Thank You

One the way to work today I started feeling really sick. I just kept talking to myself and saying "just make it to work and you will be fine". Well about the 1/2 way mark I knew I wasn't going to make it to the office before being ill, so I found a convenience store and pulled over. I barely made it out of my car before I got really sick. I was a mess, I had "stuff" all over my shoes and my clothes. Thankfully some really nice lady who had apparently stopped to get her morning coffee came over and asked if I needed some help. She went inside and got me a bottle of water. I was so embarrassed, but I felt so horrible I gladly accepted the help. I had some napkins in my car and was able to wipe myself off enough to not get the mess all over my car. I turned around and came back home. So, whomever that really nice lady was.... Thank You for starting out your morning taking care of me.
