OK folks – with your help, she made it to the Semi-Finals… Please vote for her again. Only two days to vote! http://theworldaccordingtomisha.blogspot.com/2009/04/kitty-fight-club-sf-2-sanjee-vs-tama.html

Yay!  I got an “A” for my class.  Yippee.

Ok, no classes for the summer.

Working on exploring a new thing…  We’ll see what comes of it.  I’ll let you know (and maybe see)…

I turned in the final exam yesterday at about 2. Life after class has been nice.  No class this summer.  We’ll see what happens in the Fall.

As you can see Basil has enjoyed the weekend!  I hope you did too.

The draft of the final is done!

Tomorrow will be spent with much coffee and red marker (not really since it’s online) – but I foresee sitting in the dining room with the PC and the french press of coffee.  I have tons of milk and sugar, so I’m all set.

I think breakfast will be “eggy bread.”  Sounds like a breakfast of champions to me.

Courtesy of The Cottage Smallholder: “This is sometimes called French Toast or Gypsy Toast and is a great supper snack for children, invalids and people who have already enjoyed a good lunch earlier in the day. It is at its best fried in bacon fat but a tasty slim line version can be made with a little rape seed oil.”  Um, and what isn’t best fried in bacon fat!?!?

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel – I just hope its not another train!

Ta y’all.

thanks much to all who voted for cute Tama-Chan.  Things were very close yesterday afternoon but sometime late in the day – Tama-Chan took the lead and won by 100 votes!  How very cool!

The task for today and tomorrow is finish the final and submit it! 

I am NOT taking a class this summer.  Nope, not gonna do it!  Semester off so I can finish that other certificate.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!  Time to go drink – then finish the final (wow, doesn’t that sound like a bad idea)…

Alright everyone – please help out a blog pal…  I read this blog, The Poupounette, about a dog and a cat (and now a kitten) living in France.  They are adorable.  They lost their dear older kitty pal earlier this year – Sen-Chan was only 18 months old – it was very sad!

Anyhow, they need help with votes!  Tama-Chan is up against a might (cute) foe and needs your votes.  Please vote for Tama-Chan – she’s just the cutest EV-AH!!

I just voted and they are TIED!  218 votes each!  Let’s push this over the top!

Also, Tama-Chan has a new little sister, Sei-Chan and she’s a contender for the future.

Ok, back to work people!  Please vote for Tama-Chan!

Yesterday I drove Mum to Williamsburg to visit with someone she’s known for over 60 years! We used to visit Aunt B when I was growing up and I used to have to play with her daughter M when we’d visit. The last time I saw M was when I was about 12 or 13 and M was 11 or 12. After that, I was old enough to stay home when Mum and Dad went to visit. M was not one of my favs to hang out with when we were growing up, so I was a bit apprehensive about this part of the visit too.

When we arrived, M and her family were out but they came back after a few minutes. She looked exactly the same as she did over 30 years ago. We sat around talking about all kinds of things and Aunt B said how she was surprised at how much I was talking. Apparently I was a very quiet child. I was shocked! I asked my mum later and she agreed that I was very quiet when I was growing up. I kept saying “Really?!? I was that quiet?” Why don’t I remember this about myself? I’ve certainly made up for it – ask my friends… No comments required!

I found it interesting to hear what I was like from someone who knew me a long time ago and hasn’t seen me in 30-ish years. She was very shocked, she remarked a couple of times and I found that really funny. I mean, I was just being me. The question I have is, for someone who has known me for 30 years and has seen me over those years – do they see a big difference? I’m not sure if I can see huge differences in people I’ve know for that long.

Anyhow, the visit was really nice. It was great to have a day off from work and not have errands or chores to do.

It was a good weekend.  Catching up with friends, hanging out with mum, lots of church this morning (baptism of a friends nephew – much fun – 18 month old so he was not particularly into having some strange man hold him leaning over a bucket of water! but it all happened okay in the end), an attempt at shoe shopping (unsuccessful) and an impromptu trip to Ikea (always successful – bought $36 worth of stuff I didn’t know I needed!)…

Week ahead – final exam for my class.  Five questions – essay, open notes.  Due NLT 6:00PM on Saturday night.  I have a few diversions planned for the week but mostly I’ll be working on my exam.

So, this may belong filed under “TMI” (too much information) but I gotta tell ya…

You shop at our favorite big box store, you find things that we like – whether they be shoes, unmentionables, oatmeal or pens.  Then you try to buy the style of pens we like – ya, we’ll say PENS, again and the store doesn’t carry them anymore.

Maybe they are just out of your favorite PENS so you keep checking back.  Well, the time finally comes when you really need new PENS!  What now?  You try a different style of pen, but they’re just not right!  Life is not good when you don’t have the right style PENS.

Well, the interwebs come to the rescue.  You can buy just about anything out there – even the kind of PENS you prefer.  So, the knock on the door today from the postal carrier indicated that my new PENS had arrived!  YAY!

So, if you can’t find the style of PENS you like at your favorite big box store – you can probably get them online!
