Monday Update 1/8/07

Let’s see... What’s new with me?

Today I woke up to find that the volume on my alarm clock was turned down so I didn’t hear the alarm go off. I rushed around getting ready for work and get out the door on time only to find that my &*$^&! car wouldn’t start! Thank goodness I still had my brother’s battery charger in the trunk. Of course, *that* made me late for work. I’m blessed to have an employer who is flexible and understanding about these things.

My new semester at college started today. I am taking my 2nd science requirement via an online class. It’s called Fundamentals of Meteorology. So guess what? I’ll be subjecting you to all to weather and climate factoids I find interesting. Aren’t you the lucky ones?! LOL Last Friday, I called the college bookstore about getting the books I need for this class. Much to my dismay I found out that the books weren’t in and they thought they had another week before class started. Apparently, I had been the first student to call and inquire. Hello? Classes start the 8th. So after a “meeting” they got it all straightened out, and those of us who signed up through my college won’t have books right away. They were suppose to be in today, but when I called I was told they weren't. Wish me luck on this class since it's the last one I need in order to graduate!

The weather here has been unusually warm for January. It’s been in the 40’s and 50’s. It was so nice on Sunday, I changed the oil in my car –and- cleaned up some of the dead debris on my back porch.

I had another date with D on Friday night. We went out to eat and then bowling. I won two games out of five. I question whether he allowed me to win the second one, not that it bothers me because I had a lot of fun. I almost fell on my face getting out of his vehicle at the restaurant. Had it not been for him holding my hand, I would’ve found myself kissing the blacktop. Like he said... It’d ruin the date if I hurt myself and had to have him carry me into the house. (You all know how accident prone I am!!)

I finally got some stitching in. In addition to the brass bookmark finish, I stitched on the comedy/tragedy bookmark I started last summer.

Last but not least, today is my cousin's birthday. Happy Birthday, Joe!
