2nd Week 3rd Semester

So it's the end of the second week and I am so overwhelmed. I think it is funny that I am so overwhelmed because the assignments haven't been hard. They have been very time consuming but not hard. Taking classes on excel and accounting didn't seem so easy to me but now that I am in them, it is completely different. I am hoping in the next few weeks it will get more difficult. I have learned a couple tricks I didn't know about in Excel. So hopefully I will just get better at it. :)

In my personal life, last week I decided to only eat chicken or fish, so no beef, pork, etc. and to not eat anything deep fried. Last week I did a wonderful job. Over the weekend I did go off that plan and then a couple more times this week. So I added a couple more things in this week. No pop or potatoes. The potatoes didn't stick. JS got me this wonderful potato soup cause I needed a warm meal and was having a bad day. It was delicious. So I think with potatoes I have to really think about it. But the no pop has been pretty easy. I have tried to only drink water, milk, and then juices that are 100% fruit juice. It has gone pretty well. Not sure what to add next week, hoping to add some exercise in there at some point but for right now that is what it has to be. I am just so busy anyway, I can't imagination adding exercising at this time. JS has set a rule that we have to take Quinn out to walk at least once a week. We did it last week but have yet to take her out this week. So hopefully this weekend we can walk her both days. She gets exercise in the house but she needs more and so do we. :)

Not sure if I have shared enough about my little man, Michael. He is the cutest baby ever and he is almost laughing. He gives the belly shaking but has yet to vocalize his laughter. It will be wonderful. We FaceTime when we can and he is quite the talker when you can get him going. Sometimes he just watches me talk. I think he is amazed by the Ipad. He also likes to watch himself on the Ipad. I think most kids are like that though. Sometimes I actually have a conversation with Jillian but it is usually my time with Michael. Jillian doesn't seem to mind cause she likes to spend time with him too. I did get to hold him for a few hours when we went to WV for a visit. Hopefully we can visit again before he is too big to hold.

Life is pretty good today.

Today

Sometimes its hard to come to work. You just never know what will happen on any given day. Today, it was hard to come to work. I am alone in my office but there are about 150 other people here right now. Not sure how I feel, I just feel down. I hope today brightens up. It is pouring the rain right now but maybe there can be sunshine at some point?

This Week (Its Tuesday so I am so late)

So this week was not a busy week. I can't even think of anything specific I did besides going to the dentist. And the Hubby went New York City for the weekend.

I love going to the dentist. It is where I excel. :) I have good teeth what can I say. :)

So having the Hubby gone for the weekend was lonely. Quinn whined a lot. She likes us to be home together. I really wanted to watch Prince of Persia but I didn't send out the Netflix disc in time to get it til Monday. :(

So just two more weeks til I get to schedule classes. I am still very excited about school. I just hate how slow the process for everything is. I need to see what credits transfer still and I need to get my financial aid in order. I called today to see how much the fees are going to be. She said with 7 hours of classes (that is 3 classes for me, I know the one class I want to take it is a one hour credit) it is around $700. That is way more than anyone has told me it would be. I am so glad I filled out my FAFSA.

Life. I hate cleaning. Before I met the Hubby I was clean. My home/room whatever was clean. When younger I kept our home clean. Every room. Laundry. Everything. I am broken now. I don't care. I care when people are coming over but it just doesn't happen. My kitchen is such a mess. I was thinking the other day, how much would someone charge me for them to clean it. I try to do small jobs and then I don't do it. I don't know how to get out of this not caring.

Reading

Ok so I have finished two books from two different series. :)

I really like the first series. It has a lot of vampires from different countries, many from Scotland, and they wear kilts. Its really a good series. I wish the library had all the books in the series. I got the first one from the Hubby, he bought it from the bookstore. :) This book is called The Forbidden Nights with a Vampire by Kerrelyn Sparks. Usually these books are more about the man finding the woman to love but in this one it was more about the woman, It was a nice switch.

The second book is from Laurell K. Hamilton. I was reading her Anita Blake series and found this Meredith Gentry series. I could not imagine more sex from the Anita Blake series but I found more sex in this series. It is not about vampires (I know you just gasped from the shock) but it is about fae. It is a really good series, I believe this is the third book in the series, Seduced by Moonlight. The only thing I didn't like in this book is the detail. Sometimes it is just too much. In this book you were introduced to a lot of people and she describes every single one in detail. It can just get a little too long. But I love the story and I like how her stories flow right into the next book and I am glad I have many books to read. I am going to hate to read the last book and then have to wait for the next. :)

Reading

So just finished The Dark Hunter Companion by Sherrilyn Kenyon. Oh my gosh this has so much information, it took me forever to finish. I did not read all the lists of gods, people, dark hunters, etc. There were just too many and they are explained in the stories so it doesn't matter. I liked the Q & A with Acheron. It was hard to get into this cause it's placement is like five books back, so a lot that has happened had not happened in this book. One of the funniest things in the book is a journal from a Dark Hunter. It is in a timeline form and it is hilarious. You do get more information and a few excerpts from a couple books. Great book, just a lot of information to take in. Now finishing up another series. It's good to get through the series instead of going back and forth between several. Oh yeah, this also gave me several short stories that I haven't read yet for the Dark Hunter Series. Now I have to find them. :)

This Week.

So this week, let's see what happened. Monday, I had dinner with Adam Richman from Man v Food. It was really awesome. He is a great conversationalists. Then we went to see his lecture. It was awesome looking at where certain food comes from. He was awesome. Instead of going to the after party for chocolate covered bacon (not sure about that) we went to a MEGA broomball game. On Tuesday, we got up early to vote before work. I didn't even watch the results but I did vote. :) That evening we watched Brian play hockey with his team Duck Butter. They made it to the playoffs. YEAH! On Friday, we went to another MEGA event. This one was the Button Mashing Contest. It was so much fun. Its really funny to watch people play games that they have no clue how to play. Today, we went to two MEGA broomball games. I believe they were the last of the fall season. The winter season will be starting soon.

So at tonights broomball game the Hubby decided he was going to go out on the ice. I cringed every time he fell. It is not something I enjoyed watching, especially when he began running on the ice.

Quinn is getting on my nerves more and more. I love her and she can be so cute and a really good dog. But when JS is not home she will whine for hours. When he is home, she doesn't have to be touching him but needs to be in the same room. When he comes home to take a nap, she whines even more. Cause he is home and she can not be with him. It is slowly driving me crazy. Hopefully when he gets his time off for Thanksgiving and Christmas she will get enough of him to last a little while.

Money Money Money. That seems to be all I think about. I am hoping to get this money from the lawsuit soon but it could take awhile. I am hoping I get as much as I am supposed to. I have plans for that money and we could really use it right now. I am just so tired of nor having money. It has never been this bad before.

I think I have told everyone about getting back into school :) Everyone is so excited. I am very excited. I just hope I can get some good classes and get all my classes transferred (that can transfer). I know one class I want to take but it is only 10 weeks and one credit. We'll see what happens. So far I have gotten my banner number, paid my enrollment fee, got my email account, and signed up for my advisor session. It's taking so long. :(

This Week :) (I am late with this blog)

So this week, let me see. On Tuesday, I got my acceptance email to Miami University, then I had to wait on the acceptance packet with more information. On Wednesday, our bank account went negative :( then I got paid early :) and the Reds tickets were finally refunded so by Thursday the account was back to positive with no fee (THANK YOU). Thursday I went to hubby's boss's baby shower. It was a lot of fun with baby games I had never played before. Very good food too. :) After the shower, I went to RedHawk Chef which was a lot of fun. It was really cool with the special ingredient being apples and each team had to do dishes from a certain country. And there was only a slight fire. :) On Friday, went to the MEGA Halloween party and took lots of pictures. I think I took more pics of Brian than any one else. :) He looked so sad but it was the makeup weighing down his face. After the party, we went to the AfterDark Night at the Rec. I was so tired, I didn't last there very long. I ate and then walked around the track for a few and then went home to sleep. Sunday was Halloween so we went to MEGA's broomball game. Then gave out candy at home. It was so much fun but very cold. We ran out before trick or treat was over.

Getting accepted to Miami was an awesome day. There was a tornado warning for a couple hours so I really couldn't tell anyone except those around me. :) But the hubby finally heard after he picked me up from work. We didn't have a celebratory meal until Sunday. Went to Fiesta Charra, first time since they moved. Still good. :) Everyone has been excited for me. I called my mom while she was at work, she was at their customer service desk and screamed. :) Good day.

The bank account was just so annoying. ugh! didn't know what to do, so I asked to be paid two days early. And it wasn't a problem but not something I will do unless absolutely necessary. We got it fixed though. It was stupid ESPN Magazines fault.

The shower was fun. I knew between 1/4 and 1/2 the people there. She almost didn't open my present, it was placed behind her. :( But she liked it. It was of course something from the Reds. Very cute outfit with a baseball heart on the bottom. :) Came with booties and a bib.

RedHawk Chef was cool. Hubby found out how to make a quick chicken tortilla soup. Hopefully, we can make that sometime soon. And I got to show people how to eat a cupcake :) I was really proud of myself. You take the cupcake out of the paper, tear it in half and place the bottom on top. So you have like a cupcake sandwich. You don't get icing on your face. :)

Alright that is it right now. Will blog more next week.
