Argh, one day away from it and the cats already instill major damage!! I chased them but they ran into hiding evading my severe anger and wraith. The star is now missing a piece of plastic, two ornaments shattered and one light string was half on, half off. I tried to fortify the base with throw pillows and gifts thus disallowing them access to the ( Read more... )

I finally was afforded the opportunity to set up my Xmas tree yesterday. I'd planned on procuring a new plastic one as the previous model is about 20 years old. I found a good deal at the Family Dollar *shameless plug* on the tree, ornaments, cards, etc. I must say, it came out very nice considering it only cost 20 bux. I have a lot of leftover ( Read more... )

Just got in from happy hour though it was more like 2 hours. The buzz is now settling in nicely. Still having some mixed emotions about a lot of things lately *I suppose updating this more would bring those situations to fruition*. Been doubting a lot again but perhaps it's only a phase. Strangely, I don't recall having such a bad year of ( Read more... )

It's also for Auditing...Much to my surprise, I received an A in my last course! My test average, including the final, was only 84. There must have been one heck of a positive curve. I could see that given the intensity and volume of the material. At any rate, I'm excited as it's now 3 A's in a row. Takes a lot of the weight off of doing ( Read more... )

Another Friday here in 2004...This year has flown by! I can't believe Xmas is coming up next month. Hell I think it's five weeks away! I thought that 2004 was going to be my year alas I was 180 degrees off the mark. I have a lot of hope for good tidings in 2005. I know for a fact I'll be done with school so that's one. Also, I don't intend to have ( Read more... )

Yeah!! Finally, what was perhaps the most intense 11-week semester is finally complete. 9 more months and I can finally walk the stage once again. I can't wait, I'm throwing a huge party come next August regardless of what my neighbors say or do. Bonus...got 40 bux for selling my book back. Now, back to my regularly scheduled beer.

Ahhhhhh....a collective sigh of relief from Auditing 708-71. All grad students were stressed, pissy, but able to put on their 1/2 hour displays in professional fashion. I think mine turned out much better than it had any right to be. It's times like this that the doubt falls to the wayside and I realize that business was my calling. Even the ( Read more... )

Another Thursday, another four-hour auditing marathon. Suffice to say, I am petrified about the final. As if the first two exams weren't difficult enough, this one cumulative! I really need to get to the gym to work out this stress...of course, that's not possible, gotta attend the 'extra' MBA classes today and tomorrow. Interestly enough, a few of ( Read more... )

I must say, I was impressed with the Onandaga School of Therapeutic Massage. With a name like that, I was under the impression it my be a seedy operation. It's right across from California Rollin' which I've heard so much of but never actually been to. I still feel 'out of it' even though the sessions was at 6:30 last evening. Perhaps I'll notice a ( Read more... )

Nothing starts a day like a giant picture of Dave on my monitor. Stacia rules! Anyways, got some good news about my mother today. She qualified for Social Security and is already receiving it. The standard process can take upwards of a year to be approved. I don't know if the hand of God intervened or her doctor really went to bat, but it's truly ( Read more... )
