"Updates"

Haven't posted anything in awhile, been so busy with school. Never knew Summer Session was a bad idea for one class, let alone two classes. 6 more weeks!

Matt and I went to Jim Thorpe on Fathers' Day weekend and left the girls with his parents, we had a great time just "being". We could nap (!), eat, shop and do whatever when we wanted. Nice change of pace. I absolutely love Jim Thorpe, been there many times, but this was Matt's first trip. I think he liked it overall. The art galleries and outdoor activities were more his speed than the cutesy shopping :)

New restaurant that I highly recommend is "Moya", it is on Race Street, across the alley from the Bell Tower. Don't believe all the silly on-line reviews, the food was good (maybe a tad underseasoned were the short ribs), plentiful and the service was outstanding!

Working on studying for a Bio test for Monday night that covers 5 chapters; I think things will calm down a bit after that; it is a large chunk of info. Thank god I am not taking a writing course currently as I just used 2 semicolons in one sentence. Kurt Vonnegut said something about semicolons which was “If you really want to hurt your parents, and you don’t have the nerve to be a homosexual, the least you can do is go into the arts. But do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites, standing for absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college.”

Ciao, for now...

"First Day"

I am not sure if it is community college or all colleges, but I have turned into one of those "in MY day" people. The girl sitting behind me in bio class was on the verge of tears because she didn't know what glucose or an enzyme was. There were several kids in my algebra class who were taking the class for the 2nd or 3rd times.

They all text throughout class, they were surprised there were lessons on the first day of classes.

It was interesting. More to follow, I am sure...

"Changes"

Tomorrow my girls will be ending 4th and 2nd grades; where did the time go?

I will be starting school for myself on Monday. Kids think it is a riot that anyone would intentionally go to school during the Summer AND pay for it.

I still need to bake a cake (while they are at school tomorrow) so they have a snack and a "Happy Last Day of School" cake.

Yes, even I can be sappy.

"I Have the Right to Type"

The beauty of the internet, the printed word, television and other forms of media is you can choose what to read or watch or listen to; if you don't like it, don't tune in.

Apparently there is some confusion as to why my neighbors hate me.

The ladies went on a camping trip 4 years ago. We got drunk. We told each other things about our lives and swore we wouldn't say a thing to anyone about what was said.

When we got back from the trip, one of the husbands saw me and asked, "What do you talk about all weekend - us men?". "Ha ha", I replied, "yeah, you know how we girls get when we are together."

From that has come forth a SHITSTORM of people not speaking to me, looking the other way when I come outside and saying nasty things behind my back.

I am so fucking sick of it. Get over yourselves.
