I have my finals today... I just finished one of the most easy ones I have ever taken... for Records Management! It look a little time b/c it was a hands-on thing but it was really easy... basic filing stuff... but you have to have it to graduate. Anyway.. I have one more at 11. but I am not really that worried about it, hence why I am not studying. But I did get one thing accomplished. I took advantage of thier free printing here, and copy and pasted my entries up until this one, to word, and printed all like 60 pages of them..lol but I have them and I can put them in notebook with the rest of them. SO REMINDER to ME!! I PRINTED EVERYTHING BEFORE THIS ONE! Sorry I haven't written in a while but I have been busy with home stuff, and busy at work, and every since the whole internet fiasco at work, I haven't been online as often. or as long there. But I have been journaling steadily... I have like 20 pages left in that journal that I didn't like. I had hoped to get it done before the end of April, but looking at the date and the pages I don't think I will, but I am shooting for the first week of May. So I will definately be using my Alice one before my B-day!! YAY! Oh and I ordered my family ring over the weekend, so it should be coming in, in a couple of weeks. I can't wait to get it either. All my flowers are doing good, and would you believe?? the sunflowers I JUST planted, barely a week ago are already like an inch out of the ground and growing more everyday! and to think that I didn't think they would grow...lol They are some hardy little plants. My roses still look healthy and we are watching the wildflowers and we believe a few of them are trying to come up too. Toby is getting the tiller from my dad this weekend to start our garden... We were supposed to get it sooner but my dad was still using it. So hopefully we will have a garden started by this weekend too.
We had dinner with Toby's parents over the weekend and it was really fun, I don't know what was said to Toby's cousin (the one who was making me uncomfortable on Easter) but he left as soon as I got there. Thank goodness! It was fun, we got to spend time with our nephew and got to talk , and I got the first misquito bites of the season while out on the porch talking... The only bad thing is that Toby's childhood dog is dying. Blooper or we believe she is dying. He had her since he was like 10 and so she is like 15 to 16 years old. She stayed with his parents when he moved , when we bought a house b/c he thought she wouldn't move too well. But she disappeared for a few days last week and they thought she had gone off to die then, but she came back, weak dirty, wet and tired. She has had a hard time moving around for over a year now, and she looked rough when we were down there Sat. I felt so bad for her, she still won't eat anything and that is why they are pretty sure she's dying. She hadn't eaten in two days or drunk water when we were there. We expect to get a call anytime now. I didn't think it would bother Toby too much b/c you know she is old and we have been expecting it, especially when his mom called to say she had disappeared. b/c that is what her brother done when he died. He was fine then, but being down there Sat. he was really quiet all day, and was in sorta a mood, but I didn't connect it to Blooper till later, he cried the whole way home b/c he knows that she is dying... he had sat on the porch with her and let her lay on him for a while, while he petted her to say goodbye b/c he doesn't expect her to last the week. I didn't really know how to help him, I completely understand, I have had pets die on me before too, but I feel just as helpless. it's worse on me b/c I have seen young animals die for no reason, and I just tried to explain to him that she has had a full life, and was happy, and he got to say goodbye. It wasn't just abrupt, and she doesn't appear to be in any pain, just tired. He pulled himself together before we got home, and he hasn't said anything about it since. He's usually the strong silent type. But I seen a little bit of the little boy in him on Sat. on the way home. and it just made me love him more.
Well I really should study some for this next and last final... I should go, I have done most everything I need to on here. Later!!
