How to get through college homework
If I'm not listening to science videos I'm drowning out the noise around me with music. This is how I get through my homework every week. Last week Troy helped me pick out new headphones that block out sound. They work great! If I have my sound at a normal level I can't hear what's going on around me. It's great! I get things done a lot more efficient this way.

Tis the Season
The air has been so dry lately that I am constantly drinking water and using lotion and chap stick. Last night and now tonight I have the humidifier going in the bedroom. It helped a little last night so hopefully it will help to tonight too.
Oops! Sunday's Photo
I was so tired yesterday that I realized this afternoon that I forgot to post yesterday's photo. The poor dogs were so tired after being up at Troy's mom and dad's house for the weekend. Sabrina came home and went straight to bed. We haven't hardly seen her since we got home yesterday. Isaboo has been pretty sleepy too.

Childhood Bedrooms
We are up at Troy's parent's house tonight. Us and the 3 dogs drove up this morning and decided to spend the night after Troy helped his dad all day putting in the kitchen floor. Normally we stay in the bedroom downstairs but that is full of kitchen stuff so we are staying upstairs tonight in Troy's room when he was little.

A Section Just For Me!
I was at Target today looking for a frame and what do I find? A whole section of Mickey stuff! This is in addition to the kitchen stuff I found the other day and convinced Troy that I needed three new water bottles. I think I need the pictures for my kitchen and one of the lamps for my living room! Maybe for valentine's day?!

Must Read Something Non-School Related
I have been working on my science homework for almost 4 hours. I decided I needed to. Crawl into bed and start winding down. I thought of reading some Economics but instead decided I needed something besides school work to read.

Uh Oh! It's Empty!
With everything I have going on right now I am relying more and more on my morning coffee to get me through the day. This morning as I was drinking my coffee I was going through my list of things I needed to get done today. All of a sudden my coffee cup was empty!

Monster Trucks!
Tonight was the first time in a few years that we got to go to see Monster Trucks. It's always a good time and people are always surprised that I love Monster Trucks. Tonights show was really good!

My Busy Week
This weekend isn't going to be calm and relaxing for me at all. Again, I am not going to complain. I get a date night tonight! The first real date night since probably September or October. Tomorrow I get to go learn how to make dumplings at Big Bowl, I get new tires and I get to go to see Monster Trucks! Some where this weekend I need to squeeze in homework, dishes and laundry. But that's ok. Right now I'm pretty content with my life.

Guess who's having a hard time adjusting
Guess who's having a hard time adjusting to Momma being gone all day. Tonight I was working on my science homework and she was laying so close to me that I could barely move my left arm. It will take some time for her to get used to it. Until then she's getting extra loves.

Not enough hours in the day
It could be because I am mentally tired from absorbing all of the information for my new job today but once I got home and got dinner ready my brain was fried. This is not a good thing considering I have homework to do for the week and the weekend is pretty packed leaving me only the week nights to get it all done. I fore see some nights at caribou this week to get some homework done.

Schedules Are Changing
Schedules are changing around here this week and Isaboo isn't too thrilled about it. This week I start my new job, my second class officially starts, it's the second week of my econ class and I have a chiro appointment. It will mean adjustments for everyone including the dogs. They are so used to me being home all day and not having a schedule that it will take a little while to get used to the new schedule. Isaboo isn't happy that she has to go sleep in her own bed tonight.

Memories
Growing up most kids have that one friend's house that is like a second home to them. For me it was Linda's house. I spent just as much time there as I did at my own house. As we've grown older we've grown apart but the memories will last forever. The sleep overs, the hours of watching MTV in the basement, playing baseball in the alley, playing school on the front porch and who could forget "Doggy Daycare?" There are many memories in this house and I hope that it finds a new family that will make many of their own there too.

S-P-O-I-L-E-D
Isaboo has learned that if she skips her night treat by not going into her kennel when Bear and Sabrina go to bed that she gets to stay up and then gets to sleep in the big bed with mom and dad. Tonight I was studying and Sabrina asked to go out. So her and Isaboo went outside. Troy went up to let them in, I hear one set of paws come down the stairs. Daddy let the baby stay up while the other two went to bed.

Doggie Bunk Beds
I swear these two spend the majority of the day like this. Isaboo on top of the couch. Bear on the seat. It's like having bunk beds for the dogs.

I'm Going to Need Some Activity Points
The good news is: I GOT A JOB!
The bad news is: between the steak, wine and dessert I need to get in some major activity points this week.

Another Step Closer
My Beautiful, Talented Niece
There are a lot of similarities between my niece, Sophia and me. This is true most of the time, but as she gets older I have watched her grow into her own beautiful and talented person. She loves to read, she's in drama, she does well in school... those of you who know me are now asking, what do you mean there are differences?? She also plays sports. That's one thing I never did. I was never interested in sports.
Yesterday morning I got to watch the Columbia Heights Girls Basketball team play. Now, I know nothing about basketball,
I am so proud of my mini-me that's not so mini and becoming less and less of me! I Love You Sophia!

Bear's New Favorite Spot
When Troy's parents moved this summer we got their furniture. This included the foot stool. Bear and Isaboo both love to lay on it. It is not unusual for me to have one on my feet on the stool and the other one laying next me on the couch.

Project 365 Take Two
Last year I set out on a mission to take pictures every day and to post a blog about one of those pictures. I started out great, but after about 3 months I really started to slack in my blogging. I was still taking pictures on a regular basis but not every day. At some point I realized I was burnt out from being on the computer and being online. I took a break but never really got back to blogging. So this year's goal is to blog 365 days, actually 366 days since this year is a leap year, and share my photos. I have some other goals for this year. Last year I had promised myself to become healthier. I'm on my way there! So far I've lost almost 20 pounds. I have about 50 more to go and I'm determined to do it. I am also determined to find a job! Troy and I were both laid off in October. He was able to find something right away, but I am still looking. I am also going to finish my degree. If not Spring Semester, then for sure in the fall!
This Christmas I received some great gifts! One of which was my Nook! I've had it a week now and I'm already on my third book! I also received my first Coach bag! There's a great pocket on the side of it to hold my Nook! I was in a bit of a funk and had a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit this year. Between the fact that I didn't have a job and we didn't have any snow I was really struggling this year. So I am hoping that 2012 will be better than 2011!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
