I'm finally getting caught up in life post-graduation so I'm hoping I can catch up with everything else soon. I've caught up with my reading which has made me vastly happy, I love summers free to read.

Am I getting smarter or is Jeopardy getting easier??? I've been wondering this for a couple days. Suddenly I can get most of the answers on Jeopardy, some the contestants don't even get, and it's NOT kids Jeopardy for a change. Huh....

starting to second guess myself, wondering if i'm doing the right things or making mistakes, I can't afford another mistake and another detour, too old for this, hmph

As of this morning I am officially and FINALLY D-I-V-O-R-C-E-D!!! Awesome! And just in time for my favorite holiday AND my official one-year anniversary with the Italian. I even get my maiden name back hooray ( Read more... )
