I've added another photo album for you all to see the home improvement projects we do outside of hte remodeling project.

 

These are small things we are doing to make the house feel a little more homey.

 

Check back every so often to see the latest!

 

Thanks!

All I can ask is... what was I thinking when I signed up for the Anatomy class!

 

I've had two class periods including one quiz and I feel like I am so far behind already!

I will tell you that I got 2.5 questions right out of TEN on that quiz! It was BAD! But I can say that I don't feel completely stupid because the two others at my table both got big ZEROs.  Which made me feel pretty good until the one said that they thought the THIRD time would be a charm. This person already FAILED this class twice... so then I didn't feel so good again.

 

I've done all my homework and have been reading and looking at charts... but I just can't seem to recall much for this week. Not a good sign! Especially since I reread some of it last night! I know we are having another quiz today. Plus, now I'm thinking if her quizes are THIS HARD, what are the TESTS going to be like?!?!?!!? The first test will be Jan. 23rd! (Nail biting already!!!)

 

I better go get some rest and wake up a little early to study a bit.

 

Stay warm out there... it's -8, right now... but will get to 5 degrees by Noon! ;-)

 

 

 

P.S. Below is a photo of a cell in what phase of Mitosis? (This could be on my quiz today!)

 

Answer: Anaphase (Early)

 

Have a great day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

What a roller coaster beginning of 2007!

 

We spent part of New Year's Eve celbrating at my sister Teresa's house with her, Brandon, Logan, Ernie, Russ, Mom, Chris, and Jay. We had home made pizzas, dips, chips, lil smokies, brownies... all kinds of goodies. But then I had to go to work.

 

We had a resident that wasn't doing too well and she passed away shortly after Midnight. Loving woman, will be missed greatly!

 

I got my report card from my PSYCH121 (Dev. Psych) class. I got an "A". Yeay! Loved the class! I got my final paper back in the mail and got two points higher than the possible score. Awesome!

 

I signed up for the BIOL733 (Anatomy) class and FINALLY was able to get in! Yeay! Never seen anyone so excited about taking a class where they disect a cat, have you!?!?! Well, it's taken three tries and I finally was able to get in and not have to sit on a waiting list!  The bad part about this class is the BOOK costs as much as the class and it is new every semester. I can't imagine the anatomy of anything changing too much every five months, but hey... they gotta make money somehow.

 

Jason's Grandpa Ben had a TIA (transient ischemic attack aka mini-stroke) last weekend. He is doing very well and is at home. If you didn't know him, you would not be able tell that anything had happened to him. Which is GREAT!

 

I got the big Christmas tree down and most decorations put away except the Nutcrackers. I always love having htem out and hate putting htem away so they are still hanging out above and around the fireplace. I also haven't taken doen the lights and greenery outside yet. But I can blame that on cold weather. They still come on at night because they are on a timer and I've just been too lazy to actually unplug that and get it all put away. I did take the wreath down from by the front door. Better than nothing, eh?

 

We rearranged the furniture in the Family room so that the TV is on the west wall under the windows. Looked strange for awhile but it's grown on me now. Jason wants to get a new couch for the family room so we went out looking at Redeker's, Homemakers, and The American store. Suprisingly, Jason picked out a white sectional... WHITE! With our black lab and messy kids! We didn't buy anything but it was fun looking. I think we both liked one that was sort of black and white with burgandy specs on it. That may be the one we get when spring comes.

 

I'm looking forward to doing a really good spring cleaning this year. I want to eliminate all the clutter to makethe house easier to clean! LOL!

Easier said than done but that is my final thought for the night.

 

Nighty, night!

 

 

 

 

 

Happy belated New Year!

 

Not much has been happening...

work, sleep, work, sleep... about all that's been going on.

 

The kids had a good Christmas. If you are on my A list, you got the video slideshow of Christmas morning. That was fun!

I think the kids had a good Christmas!

 

I signed up and got into the Anatomy class that starts Jan. 9th and runs through May. I've heard it is an extreeeeeemley hard class and that we will disect a cat. Fun!  Blah! But gotta do it to keep going. Sometimes you just gotta do things ya don't like.

 

I've added a couple more photos to the Project John's Room photo album... woodwork photos.

 

More later!
