Tina's Multiplyin'

Before I get to today's post I want to wish our friend Tina the best of luck on her surgery today. We're all pullin' for ya and know that everything will turn out just fine.

We love you and Kat and are here if you need ANYTHING -- now if I could just remember what f'ing hospital...

Whatev -- we'll be there!! :D


Can you believe I have YET ANOTHER headache??? Sheesh!


So everyone in the house went to bed on Nyquil.

...this is not a good sign.


This morning Katie (Katie which blog should I be linking to for you???) -- cracked me up on the highway...

This little pickup truck was riding my bumper and was alllll the way to my left on the highway -- totally aggravating me.

Well, at one point this guy ended up in front of me and I noticed that he had one of those "How's my driving?" signs with a phone number on the back.

So I tell Katie that I think it's funny that I was just annoyed w/ his driving and then saw that sign and what does she do??

...yep. She called the number. LOL

Frickin' nut.


After I dropped Katie off at work I was driving the 3 exits to my exit and on the highway (and I wish I could've gotten a picture)... was a sign on the overpass that said...

"Te Amo Princesita"

For the linguistically impaired that means I love you princess. ;)

...anyway -- I thought it was the sweetest, most romantic thing... can you imagine driving down the highway and seeing a sign from your sweetheart for the WHOLE world to see like that??

That guy/girl DEFINITELY got some brownie points for that one. :)

So I'm in full-on panic mode about what to do about the school/teaching thing. I've decided to do the ARC program but -- it's about $3,500 AND my bachelor's degree has to be done by the time I sign up (May 16th) -- though I think I may have a WEE bit of wiggle room if I'm just finishing up when that time comes. HOPEFULLY.

I've also gotta take my Praxis I still... which I want to do next month so in case I fail it I have time to re-take (I can re-take it up to 6 times -- once per month -- within a 12 month period).

I also found out that I will be one history class short when I finish my B.S. so I have to figure out how to fit in another history class BEFORE May -- which means I may have to pay out of pocket since my financial aid won't cover another class in those terms. Am I pissed that the University of Bridgeport didn't tell me I needed all these history classes? You betcha.

They knew my goals. Now when I'm down to 6 classes left I find out I need 4 more history classes? Which would be fine if I didn't still have 3 non-history classes yet to take. Grrr.

I also have to find time to do some volunteer work with youth -- which I've started looking into.. It's part of the application process -- though I could waive out of it -- but I need every advantage I can for getting accepted into this program (there's only a 30-50% acceptance rate for getting into the ARC program).

There's just SOOOOOOOOOO much to think about and do in the next several months just to get INTO the program... not to mention the work involved after I'm in.

I'm this [ ] close to just throwing my hands up and giving up. It's just all so overwhelming.

BUT... Jess has been great and very, very supportive and encouraging and she swears up and down that I can do this.

And for my own sanity -- I have to at least try.

....sigh....

Can you explain to me the purpose of having a fake scrotum hanging from the trailer hitch of your pickup truck?

I'm just wonderin'....
