I keep looking up my stats online to see if grades have been posted and to see if next quarter's registration has gone through.

Over.

Over.

And...

... Over.

I've managed to find two "unofficial" grades posted, I have a B- in a class I struggled with a great deal, but am still happy I took it and an A in a class I loved. One more class to go, and ( Read more... )

We have construction going on in the apartment.  We've moved all our stuff out of one of the closets, bathroom, and part of the bedroom so the owners can remodel and charge us a lot more money.  We're getting a Washer/Dryer out of the deal, but really, there is one about 30 ft away that we use no problem ( Read more... )

Time for Plan B

Stewart and I are major planners.  I know, if you look at our history, it appears to some that we are ‘fly by the seat of our pants’ type people. However, we aren’t really.  We do look for paths that take us out of our comfort zone, but before going down those paths, we do mega research.

Apple sucks!

All of my family members and those friends of mine, who keep in touch with me by phone, realize that phone communication is not the best method to get my attention.  I forget my phone when I head out the door. When I carry it, I am prone to leaving it in the floorboard of the car for a few days, until my daughter e-mails me that she has ( Read more... )
