Gosh, how would I want my double to differ from me? Well, I would think it would be good if my double had some super powers or something extraordinary. I wonder how she would get through life if she had that to contend with!

I really shouldn't be continually updating to note that I'm busy these days (that should I guess be assumed, because I am). Lately I've been busy with a few things that are a bit less expected for me: one of which was car shopping. To put this into context for those who don't already know,… Continue reading Car?! And other updates

This is just a brief note to mention that Plants vs. Zombies by Popcap games is such fun on JD's iPhone! As much as I keep accidentally hitting the wrong squares (I hate capacitive touch screens on occasion), it's tonnes of fun!

Regaining balance tends to be a personal goal anytime something upsets it, whatsoever that something might be. And that tends to be the case when I return from a break in my classes. Reading week is no exception: certainly I got a lot of different things done (not enough necessarily, but a lot just the… Continue reading Balance

And I madly wrote a paper on Sunday (as it was due at midnight). Yesterday was also homework-ridden (mostly… Continue reading Busy Bee Me

JD's flight got in mildly… Continue reading Changes impacting my life… so glad that my man is here! 🙂

So Monday night is quickly approaching. And I honestly look forward to that more than I do many other things. Sure I've a tonne to do before Monday arrives — cleaning/tidying a bit, laundry (a lot) are pretty high on my priority list, as is homework (I've a bunch of homework), and a few other… Continue reading Counting the days…

As I get ready to fly off for the SLP conference (Kiwanis) this week, I realize that yet again I struggle to find the right combination of being busy (but not too busy) and productive. This week(end) has been no exception. Following a week that featured the first days of class for all three of… Continue reading Busy Times in the snow…
