Birthdays

I haven't written on this blog for awhile.  Reggie has a bad cold, the one that's been going around, so I won't be seeing much of him.  Star's computer is in the shop, hopefully she will get it back today.  Jed is coming over later today to play on the computer.  I'm making my brother a decoupaged photo on wood for his birthday in October.  The kitties will be 10 years old, Oct.1st.  That's Reggie's birthday too.  He is vain about his age, but I found out how old he is anyway.  Hee hee! 

I have homework today for I Ching 1.  I'm avoiding doing it by blogging.  And starting new craft projects. *sigh*  I may have to drop the Counseling class because of the workload for I Ching.  We'll see.  That class doesn't start for a couple weeks anyway.  I have a lot of energy today.  That's good because the night before last I didn't sleep at all.  And I got sick. :(   I only got about 5 hours sleep yesterday.  But I slept good last night.  These are a few of my favorite things:  printers, social networking sites, grad school, crafts, birthdays.  Just thought I'd let you know!

September News

I've been seeing quite a bit of Reggie lately.  That's all I'm gonna say about that for now.  Star and her boyfriend, Yeti are really cute together. I can call him that because his nickname is Sasquatch, but that's someone else's nickname too.  Not here, in real life. I think I want an excuse to get a new computer.  Miss Thing is great, but I'd love a faster, more powerful one.  She's running great so I have nothing to complain about. :)

My Happiness Project is going great!  This doing homework every day is really helping me keep up with stuff.  I finished the Uffington Horse craft/writing project and got some positive feedback on that.  Tonight I turned in the proposal for the last project, based on Stonehenge.  Cool!  That one will take some planning.  We are finishing up the first year of Ancient Rites.  I have one more paper due on Thursday so will work on that tomorrow.  Dean Dharma is going to mail each of us certificates for the first year.  My Mom will be happy about that, proof that all this work is good for something. 

I'm starting I Ching 1 next week and Foundations in Counseling in early October.  I've been so bored, stressed out and confused this summer.  It will be nice having that structure back in my life with deadlines too. No one understands that, I swear.  I'm a Virgo.  Indy is sleeping on the fuzzy blanket Star made me for my birthday.  I'm listening to George Michael videos.  I watched them for awhile while I was working on an afghan to match my furniture, crochet.  For someone who's sick I got a lot done today.  I'm getting over, hopefully for the last time, this dang cold.  My cough has mostly gone away, thanks to large doses of Vitamin C. 

I'm actually going to set foot in church tomorrow.  I'm definitely going to Bible Study. I finally feel good enough to go.  I watched The Book of Eli the other night, very good.  I'm getting The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo tomorrow, the Swedish one with subtitles, and will probably watch it on Thursday night.  Netflix, of course.

Getting Older

I had a birthday and a birthday party since I last wrote.  It went well.  I'm having another party tomorrow night minus the guests of honor who can't make it.  *sigh*  I feel at loose ends lately.  You ever have the feeling that nothing is going your way.  When it actually is?  Like I got invited to go to a rock concert and I keep thinking, "what a hassle!"  I must be getting old.  Like I said I had a birthday. 

Doing homework is part of my Happiness Project for the month of September.  School doesn't officially start for awhile, but I wanted to get in the groove.  My productivity has gone up, since I started that. For the month of September the subject is School.  Last month it was Spirituality, before that it was Energy. Not real sure if I'm happier.  Well, I was sick with a cold for a couple weeks in August.  That would take the wind out of anyone's sails. I guess I'm not real happy today.  I'm waiting for a phone call.  I'm wondering if the party tomorrow will even happen.  Maybe it will be just me and the spaghetti, salad, and cheesy bread.  Hee hee!  I'm not doing goal-setting anymore, just the Happiness Project. 

Jean Jeanie gave me a crystal rock candleholder thingy and Star gave me a bunch of stuff, one of which is a homemade blanket.  So pretty and soft and snuggly!  The candle is on the kitchen table, lit. My kitties are inside, it's raining today.  I'm hungry!  I might have dinner early.  All for now.
