Rain, Rain Go Away!

Ok, the title to this post is a lie!!! We need the rain here in the BIG D! And last night it came...5 inches in 24 hours. I had to ford a raging river to get to my car this morning that was parked on the other side of the street. Thank goodness for rain boots! It came up past my ankles so I would say we got some rain. :)

Let's see, what else has been going on in my life?!? Well, I went home for Christmas. I got to spend almost two wonderful weeks with my family. I got to see every single one of them too, including my grandpa. Which hasn't happened since I can't remember when. It was good to get away! My luggage did get lost on the way back...for a very long five days...but it all made it to me safely, so all is well.

Once I got back to Texas, I turned around and took a final for a time series class required through work. Ok, I basically had to cram for a week and a half straight to get ready for it, but that was my own fault for not studying sooner. I finished up the time series project today for the class and sent it in. Hopefully, that little class will be out of the way before I know it!!!

So with finishing up one thing for work, comes the next thing. Studying for the next actuarial exam!! Oh yeah BABY!!! This is my last of the preliminary exams...EXAM C....supposedly the hardest, the most material, the one that will kill you....so wish me luck...so if I never post again on this blog, you now know that I died.

On that happy thought, I took a quick trip to Austin this weekend. I think I was there for less than 24 hours, but it was fun. I am sorry this post is so boring....I am falling asleep myself just writing it.

Is This For Real?

Thank you Panda Express, thank you.

Throwback

This is my proof that at one point in time the blonde in my hair was actually natural...because SOME OF YOU don't believe me. :P Please excuse the double chin and pudgy elbows and pudgy wrists...and pudgy everything. And yes, I still love shoes...and yes, I was very fashionable at the time.

Greetings

Hello, my fine friends. Merry Christmas!!!! I hope you are all getting excited Christmas; I know I am super excited to go home.

The other day while perusing the internet, I stumbled upon this quote:

"What if you woke up only with the things you thanked God for yesterday?"

Holy. Smokes. This has really made me think...am I being as grateful as I should be? Honestly, I am given so much....why am I so dang ungrateful. At the same time, I am happy that I read this...I want to be grateful.

Switching gears....

A Facebook Friend posted this, and it's pretty cool. Ok, so not everything is completely correct; but isn't the church just great?!?

Gym or No Gym???!?!

So I am thinking about joining a gym! Ok, it's only out of necessity. Since moving, I no longer have an apartment gym to exercise at or nice sidewalks to go run on (or a safe place to run after dark...because that's the only time I'm home...at dark...) I pretty much have two options, (ok three options, but my work gym is OUT OF THE QUESTION...I'm not going to get all sweaty in front of co-workers...nope...not going to) LA Fitness or 24 Hour Fitness. Now to make the decision, I'm sick of making those...decisions....

This was a pretty exciting blog post, I know.

This is Not a Pity Party....

This is not a pity party. Sometimes there is a lot to figure out. Sigh.....

November!

November has been an incredibly busy month, and now it is almost over!

It started out with me moving to a new place. I have roommates now! AND I live with a dog! Please stop your hysterical laughter. I like dogs, ok not really, ok not at all. I am definitely learning and definitely saving a TON of cash by doing this.

A few days after I moved, I took my fourth Actuarial Exam. Holy Smokes I was so stressed out. I get my results mid-January. I hope I passed!!!!! These will end someday, right? Oh dear, I certainly hope so....

A few days after my exam, I jetted off to Colorado to visit my family for the Thanksgiving Holiday. I went shopping with my Mom and chilled with the fam a lot. We played some games, and ate a ton....It was a glorious break from work.

SOOOOOO busy, but that is all I have to write. Peace out.
