Dangnabit!
As I am sitting at the computer, struggling to post something for my class tonight, I get distracted thinking about next semester. That leads into thinking about books for next semester. I went out to Amazon.com to check out how their prices compare to the school prices (turns out I can save $120). I needed to get my planner to figure out my log-in stuff. On the top of my planner, where I cannot miss it, is the giant hot pink sticky note I left for myself. BAKE SALE TOMORROW!!! It is 9:25pm, I am exhausted, I still have to post for school, I need to find something to bake for tomorrow, probably need to make some sort of dinner, and the bed needs to be made before I can go to sleep- DANGNABIT!

***yawn*** so sleepy tonight
This is the point of the night where I should just go to bed but, here I am. Too much on my mind to sleep and not enough mind left to do much of anything. My first semester of classes is wrapping up in just two weeks- it would be really exciting except for the massive portfolio project due. Then I have a week off before the next semester starts. My job is still going good- making me a little crazy right now but in a good way. Please just think happy thoughts for me and when it all works out the way that I want it to (got a little more confirmation today that it is leaning that way) I promise I will post more information. If for some reason, it doesn't, I think I will need to use up my vacation days. I have been hoarding them this year but it is getting tempting to start using them.
A little worried about the family in Iowa- wish we lived closer so I could help more but thankful for the family and friends who have been helping Brenda and Jason out. Although, I did offer to take the three oldest for a week until they can get back into their house. I draw the line at the gerbils though- the little escape artist are not part of the deal :o)
Now that I have found a better balance with school, work, and life, I have started getting back into reading for fun again (not saying that "Making Sustainability Work- Best Practices in Managing and Measuring Corporate Social, Environmental, and Economic Impacts is not fun, but...). There is an woman at work that shares her books with me so I have one that I am reading now but I definitely need some new books. I am going to check out the friends of the Aurora Public Library store one of these weekends as the same woman at work said they have books starting at $0.50 there. Might just need to get a new bookshelf :o) Anyone have any book suggestions or a stack of books you are done with and want to drop off at the apartment? I will settle for a Barnes & Noble giftcard that has been laying around gathering dust... I mean, if it is in the way, I would sacrafice and take it off your hands.
And with that, I do believe it is time to take the dog out for our bedtime walk and try to get some sleep. (The sleep happens when we get back inside- not on the walk)
