Class 1 & 2

Last night was my first (and second) class for my administration certification. I start the third one on Monday.
It doesn't seem THAT bad. I know they are Masters level courses. I can handle those. I've done that. I worry about the summer Doctoral level :)
I will be doing a newsletter, interviewing people, attending school board meetings, writing papers, writing briefs, memorizing cases, taking mid-terms, reading, reading, reading. It will be a lot of work, but I need 8 classes for the cert. I will only have 5 left after the spring!! Hopefully I can squeeze in some mini-terms and a summer 2 session and I can finish those in the fall? Fingers crossed!!

Picture Tuesday

So I am done with my 2 classes tonight. We got out early since it was our first night.
I'm too tired to play on here tonight.
So pictures of Poopers. From our Monday morning lie-in (I'm reading a book about English chicks right now)

She thought I was crazy for waking her up.


Then she was alert and ready for the day!

I love days off

Today is MLK day. We had the day off! I love these days!!
I slept in until about 7:30 today. I then laid around in bed and played on the computer and read my book until 9:00. I jumped in the shower and headed out to lunch with Lena and her girls. It was our Christmas lunch :) I love Bone Daddy's. Then it was off to Quiggly's to paint us some pottery. I made myself a holder for pens for my new desk/workstation. Once I get it back I'll make sure to post a picture. We also had a free coupon for a glass fusion magnet so we did that.
Then I went to the store and got some magazine holders to hold all of papers I expect to be writing. I want to keep them to help me with my dissertation (any thesis topic ideas on that??).
Got home and Jeff and I walked Poopers since it was such a great day today.
Waiting on him to get home with dinner now.
What a great day off!!

Weekends are hard!

It's hard to blog on the weekends. I have so much to do and I hardly have time to sit down and write a long blog. It's way easier during the week.
I thought I would add a little more though, as I'm watching the Golden Globes in bed :)
I love Doogie Houser! Neil Patrick Harris is awesome. Why didn't he win? Dumb foreign press.
I am typing this while Jeff puts together my new work station. We were told at our doctoral orientation that we should have a little area. An area we can go to when we have some free time so we can write or work on our dissertation. We can keep all our papers in this area and just have it all in one area. So we went and got me a cheap little desk at Walmart. I got a tub to put on the shelf. I also got some of the new sharpee pens. I love those!! I'm *slightly* addicted to office supplies and organizational things. Jeff finished the little workstation and my bin doesn't fit!! I guess now I get to find one that will. I also want little magazine holders to hold all my files/papers. Now I just need somewhere to put all these books I expect to buy over the next 3-5 years. Bring it!

Just saw a commercial for The Apprentice. I LOVE that show! It's a celebrity edition again. I'm not as big a fan of those, but I'm still excited! I know, I may be the only one who watches it. Ha. That's ok, I don't care.

Fun Sunday

Poor Cowboys.
Jeff is out washing our cars now. What a good guy :)

All In

Poker Time! We had 5 people come for dinner and poker. I love playing poker! I wish I could win more. I used to win all the time - now my streak is over. JEFF is winning all the time. That just doesn't seem right :) At least he is bringing home money somehow.
We had a great time. Thanks everyone for coming!!
