This is my brother and nephew.

I just finished my last final paper and turned it in! I turned in the other one yesterday.

Now I get 2 full weeks off from work and school!! What am I to do? Let’s see… sleep, read, sleep and oh read.

Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!

of why I don't wear dress pants and hate clothes shopping. Was in the petite section and they had some really cute dress pants that were still to long for me! I am 5'7" and most of my pants drag the ground I have about a 26-27" inseam. I looked at a sweater that was very cute, held it up to me and it was to short came to just below my belly button. Did not have a very productive clothes buying trip.

Hope you have a good day Tis!!!!
HUGS!!

Hope you have a good one!

Went in for a color and decided I needed a change. At least I didn't go as dramatic as I did two years ago. My hair was probably to the middle of my back and cut it to all over spikes! This time it probably was about a half inch below by shoulders. And now it looks like this.......





It's not a very good pic, but my friend didn't tell me she was going to take it. I'm mot to sure about the longer part in the front but if I tuck them behind my ears it still looks pretty cute.

So my uncle’s funeral was today. It has been a hard couple of days. Last night was the viewing. I was fine until my cousin’s kids started crying. It was a good day but hard. Very emotional and tiring. Tomorrow morning is the barrel. He is being barred at the V.A. cemetery. After that we will leave and take my brother back to Richfield and then up to Salt Lake to my sister's. We will head back to Boise on Thursday. I'm glad we have broken up the drive into two days. I have to be to work on Friday. I will be very tired and not wanting to do anything.

...and I'm going for a funeral for my uncle. I will be there with my very mormon family:( I'm planning on going in July for my 30th b-day so ill have to make up what I miss this trip next time!

How nice is it when you open you final grade thread and you see a grade that is two letters higher then you thought you would get. I got my other class grade a couple days ago and new I would be cutting it close on getting a passing grade. Well I passed with a D+. I think the + is great. I struggled with this Information Technology class the whole 9 weeks. My other class a communications class I got an A- on my final project which I am totally shocked about. Getting the A- brought my grade to a B-!Did not see that coming!I've had a week off which was very nice. I start my next to classes tomorrow Cultural Diversity and Intro to Psychology. With passing both my last 2 classes means in January I get to change my program to get my associates in Psychology. My long term goal is to get my Bachelors in Psychology and then my Masters in Counseling. I eventually want to be a counselor for teens and young adults.

The sound of silence if very nice!!! I really do love my sister and my 10 month old twin nephews! Can I just say Thank god! They left today after being her for two weeks. Having them here has reconfirmed my desire NOT to have kids! I love being an aunt cause you can send them away. I love them to death but when they would wake me up in the middle of the night (on the few nights I could sleep) does not help my loving mood!
I think Gypsy is happy they are gone so she can have her territory back! She did very well with them!
I will stick to having a cat for my child!

Aunt J was spoilin the boys!




and of course I had to get Spongebob!!

So I'm trying to decide if I want to change my focus in school. Right now I'm getting my associates degree in IT/Web Design. I would love to continue to do this but I'm looking into switching to Psychology. I'm thinking that I want to become a counselor for teens and young adults. With everything I have gone through I feel I can help them with what they are going through.

So I had plans to leave for Seattle tonight to visit friends that are still up there. I have tomorrow and Friday off of work so I decided to take a personal day on Monday and be there for 5 days. Was going to have a blast with the best friend, had plans to get another tattoo tomorrow as well. Sunday night I was doing homework when I got a major headache and nausea. I knew it wasn't a migraine because of where it hurt. Well I called in sick Monday and Tuesday had to go in today cause one of the other aids was planning on being gone should not have gone in I left at 2. This morning I called my friend and told her that I needed to cancel because I have the flu. Was able to cancel my flight and have a credit to use on a later flight. That made me happy! I was to the point of not caring about the money that's how miserable I am. My new plans for the long weekend..... Bed, bed and did I mention bed!

I'm a mean mommy but it was too funny!!!!

I've been working on my final project for one of my classes looking for ice cream maker pictures and came across this one!!

Hope you have a wonderful day! I'm happy for you that you get to spend it with Cassi!!

Hope you have a wonderful day!

My younger brother and his wife had their baby. Derek Lance was born August 21, 7 weeks early... 3 lbs 14 oz, 17 1/2 inches long! Mom and baby are doing great. Derek is doing better then they thought he would. He is for the most part breathing on his own with only a little oxygen.

I'm starting to freak out a little. I have my final projects/papers due tomorrow for my classes. Writing/English is not my best subject ok pretty much it's my worst. Well with my last two classes when my final project/papers were due my mom was here to help. She majored in English in college. Well she is out of town visiting my sister and her family. So I am starting to freak out about everything.
Major deep breaths need to be happening!
