Let the Countdown Begin!

I am not dead! I know you were worried. I've been crazy busy getting ready for my exam. It is in two weeks. Well, two weeks from tomorrow....so nervous....so ready to be done. We'll see how it goes....TWO WEEKS!

ALL MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE!!!

I really love that this was posted on the inside door of the women's restroom.

CSI

You know you watch too many crime solving television shows when the neighbor's porch light is on across the hall for the first time EVER (well, since you moved in three months ago) and the first thing you think is that they must have been murdered and the killer tried to make everything seem normal by turning the porch light on. Of course I am home alone tonight!!! Gah!

p.s. I was going to post a super fly photo of CSI, but the photo uploader is not working...sigh...

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?!?
