WOO HOO!!!

Had class last night and got my mid-term back. First mid-term since 1994. Want to know how I did? I got an 88 3/4. Yes, you heard it right, 3/4. 1/4 point taken off for the oversight of putting "self portrait" in the title of one of the paintings. Whatever! This is the first time that I'm not either embarrassed by my grade or going "whew!" I think I did well for being out of the school thing for so long.

Class Tonight

Tonight's the last class before my midterm. I'm getting ill already. Anybody have any ADD helpful study tips out there? Feel free to leave them. I could use all the help I can get! And then send some to get my house organized and what you do daily to keep it that way. I really need to set up a daily routine and stick to it. There's the problem spot. Stick to it. HA! Isn't that ADD in a nutshell? If I could stick to it, I wouldn't be ADD.

Whatever! I'm trying. Sometimes better than others.

Nothing Exciting

Not a very exciting day. Just a bunch of running around and hurray, I finally went to the dentist. No, I won't say how long it's been. Just suffice to say, it's been TOO long. Needless to say, I was worried about what news they might give me. I was pretty sure I was to the point where all my teeth would need to be removed! But, thank you dear Lord, NO CAVITIES! I can't believe it. I was actually going to make them recheck just to be sure but why look a gift horse in the mouth? So now I can finally get back on track with that and move forward. Next appointment to catch up on. . . . regular checkup. I'm so bad about my appointments. It's quite annoying to me and I'm still bad about it.

And by the way, my front hall still looks like it did in the picture I posted a while ago. Nice green paint test spot and all.

Has anyone read "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle? I was checking out the worldwide webclass that Oprah's doing. It looks interesting and I picked up the book today too. Let me know if you saw it or read it and what you think. (If anyone's listening, that is)

Checking In

So let's see who's listening. It's obviousely been quite some time since my last post. SORRY! At that point I was still waiting to hear from Rutgers. I am now on my 6th class this week. I guess that's partly why I haven't posted. (Besides the usual ADD symptoms) So my first class back at school is on Impressionism. I've already handed in my first paper and in another week is the mid-term and then SPRING BREAK. Hmmmm, where should I go? Yea, right? I wish. No harm in dreaming though. So soon it will be 3 credits down, 15 more to go!

I'm still the basket nut so feel free to check out my website: www.longaberger.com/pamsbasketcase

Longaberger products just seem to get more beautiful and useful all the time. How DO they do it?!

So I know who has checked in, please leave a comment for me!

Wait for it, Wait for it. . .

Yup, waiting for the Rutgers response. Wonder how long it will take. Anyone want to start throwing in some guesses when it might arrive? I'm thinking sometime before the Spring semester starts would be a beginning, right? Ok, so let's start hearing your guesses and hopefully we'll find out sooner than later who it right.

My Head is Spinning

As usual it's been quite hectic. We picked up our Christmas Tree this weekend, went to Harry's Company picnic, Banquet for Banana's cheerleading, tree decorating, blah, blah, blah. And this week we need to finish making the ornaments for the craft show on Thursday, music concert on Wednesday, gymnastics, Christmas shopping hasn't even begun yet, Christmas cards (finally ordered them) and so on. I guess the "Spirit of Christmas" is upon us. I always have such big plans for what I want to accomplish for the Holidays, like all kinds of baking, decorating and such, and I probably get about a quarter of it done. I guess it's aim high and be happy with what becomes of it in the end. So let me know all the things you plan on doing, how you plan on organizing it and then let me know what you actually accomplish. It would be nice to know you're not alone in the Christmas frenzy and that we're probably just aiming too high.

This is Your Brain on Children:

Need I say more?!

That's actually what it would look like in my head on a good day. Let's see how many days go by before I have to start tossing things for them to clean up. (This was the brain child of the Little Man and Toodles) Forget shoveling s___ against the tide, try shoveling toys against these two.

By the way, I'm just not getting enough kicks in the ass here. this blog is supposed to keep me in check but with only one faithful follower to be held accountable to, it just doesn't seem to be enough. So if you're logging on, please leave comments to keep me in line. Otherewise I'm just about talking to myself.

OHHH! Here's the progress I've made on that cross stitch pictured below. Not bad for having only worked on it twice.
