Is it fair that since I'm technically a student at GPC I wrote some stupid essay for a scholarship and was chosen among the top 3% and am having my essay reviewed to receive up to $10,000? I'm sure it isn't having somebody with an English degree competing against a bunch of 17 year old high school students...but ask me if I care? I need the money ( Read more... )

Baby Jack learned how to clap yesterday. So cute. You look at him and clap or even say "Yaaay Baby Jack" and he smiles and claps his hands together softly ( Read more... )

I'm very proud that I've done so well with breastfeeding. A lot of women give up after only a few weeks or months (if they do it at all). In a way I totally understand the desire to have somebody else be able to care for the baby in that way, but it's really neat for me to be the only one who can do that for him. Yes, it really sucks not having ( Read more... )

Well, we made it a year. Too bad we can't really do much to celebrate other than maybe going out to dinner ( Read more... )

I swear to god if I don't start getting some sleep I am going to die. Our government uses no sleep as a torture method for a reason. Go long enough without sleep and you'll do just about anything to get some...including confess to things that you didn't do. In fact, the insanity that results from lack of sleep might actually convince a person ( Read more... )

We bought a gun this weekend, which is pretty cool. Went to the gun show, saw lots and lots of rednecks and picked up a Tec 9 (drive-by gun) for $200. It's nice to know that if some guy breaks into my house I can protect myself and the baby. Ever since we had Jack, it's been a point of concern for both me and Jeremy. What if somebody breaks in ( Read more... )

Grrr..I left my dead cell phone in the car last night and even though I told Memme that he needed to bring it in if he took the car to work this morning, he didn't. Before 2 days ago, it would have just been a slight inconvenience, but now that I got that transcription job I might be missing out on work. They call me if they have a job for me to ( Read more... )

I love my (our) new car ( Read more... )

Oh, and one more thing ( Read more... )

Since my car is a dead piece of shit we go yesterday and drop a big bomb of cash on a really nice car. It's a 2001 Passat with a V6, black leather interior, and all the bells and whistles. It was actually not too expensive. It is a 5-speed, so I get the nice added stress of trying to learn how to drive it without looking like an idiot. I don't ( Read more... )
