Relaxing vacation...

...where I didn't get anything done. Aren't those the best kind? I did a lot of reading and caught up on some of my teen reading for recommendations.
The library is accepting bids for construction now so we are one step closer!!!!! I'm working on a series of MI author articles for the newspaper this month. If you get the Lakeview Area News let me know what you think.
Planning a day away for mom and my siblings. We plan on hitting GR for lunch and shopping on the 19th. I'm hoping it will be fun and relaxing giving us time to visit and rehash memories.
Josh is playing soccer for AYSO this year and seems to be having fun. He doesn't have a passion for the game but does seem to be having fun. He went to see his mom and Chevy this weekend and Mom & Dad took a weekend away.

This is it...

...I go to my very last class tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Four and a half years of juggling work with classes and I am finally a Master in Library and Information Science. I got a sneak peak at my grades and even with all my doubts and stress I managed to ace my last class! I will complete my Masters with a 3.98 GPA thanks to that A- I got in Cataloging. :(
The rest of the week is vacation. Nothing is planned except sleeping in and relaxing but I still would like to get my play room painted. I might not have time since I need to clean the room first!
Been enjoying small group game nights on Saturday. It's been fun to visit with others and explore new board games and old favorites.
Read a new book by Heather Graham that just blew me away. It was a really good paranormal suspense but the ending just astounded me and I can't stop thinking about it. It's one of those that I can't quite decide if I liked the ending or not but I did enjoy the book. It's called "Dead Room".

Still a couch potato...

...ready to become a potato chip! The fat is creeping back on and I haven't found the enthusiasm to work it back off. I keep telling myself that I'll get back on track when... but that day never comes.

On to a less depressing subject. I'm ready to paint the last room in my apartment. It is what I call the play room and my plans are for a very bright and energetic room without being blinding bright. My planned color scheme includes orange, green and dark blue. I'm thinking about adding the niece & nephs hand prints to the room or some other design elements that would represent them. Maybe I will like that room so much it will become my reading room also.

I'm waiting to get back into the reading groove but I have to kick the DVD addiction first. I'm finishing up the 2nd season of CSI: NY and I'm still working on Young Riders. I probably won't get the new James Bond watched right away and I'll have to get it again later. I will have 4 days vacation next week but that will hopefully be some painting days and not all TV days. It's good having Josh home for the rest of the school year. He's happy but still goes through missing his mom.

Two more classes left and then I will be a Master in Library and Information Science. (Isn't that exciting!)

The countdown...

... is going fast! Only 2 weeks left and I've ordered my cap and gown. I don't know if it's good news or bad but I won't be walking on May 5th but I still bought the cool cap and gown. Mom says it may come in handy in case I'm ever asked to talk at someones commencement. (LOL) My main concern is that I don't know if I will feel 'graduated' without going to the actual ceremony but I just couldn't work it out and wasn't looking forward to a 3 hour plus ceremony with thousands of people there.

Been watching a lot of DVDs lately and not reading as much. Watched the second season of Wonder Woman and picked up this bit of trivia, "How many years passed between season 1 and season 2 show of Wonder Woman?" This is years in the show not our years. I'm currently watching first season of "Tru Calling" which only lasted a season and a half then I'm starting on Young Riders and CSI New York season 2. I'm also planning on watching Casino Royale 007, and Eragon. I don't think I'll be reading much this weekend either.

The diet has officially hit the skids. I keep telling myself that it is stress and I'll get back on track but I think it's more that I'm tired of trying to be good and have been craving all the candy and chips that I've been without for 9 months. Hopefully someday soon I will be inspired to start again before all my hard work is undone.
