Catching Up

... hello! hello!

I've come out from underneath my pile of students to supervise, papers to grade, lessons to prepare, research papers to write, online learning modules to complete, statistics tests to study for and take, group presentations to develop and present, and courses to attend to say HI! Did you miss me? :)

 

The last six weeks have been a bit overwhelming. I've spent much of my time staring at this:

And that's the "easy" class... 

I've also been spending much of my time in the midst of this: 

Yes, that's my bed, with the sheet half on/half off... more on why I'm working in my bed in a minute...

I've also spent even more of my time longing for this:

both its cleanliness and the time spent there...

This face is *temporarily* hanging out with us... couch surfing with us since we only have 2 bedrooms:

And even though he can be a total PITA, I love him to death... and I'm *mostly* happy he's here...

And since he's here, I wish we were all doing a lot more of this:

and this:

And this:

But alas, it's starting to do this around here:

And remember, I'm up to my eyeballs in this:

So, until about December 6th... that's life in a nutshell...

 

TGIF V9.7.12

Wow, is it that time again? Another week gone by? It sure is! I only have a few minutes to get this together before I head off to a weekend class tonight. So, here goes. The five things for which I am grateful week ending 9/7/2012.

 

1. 

This poor boy finally got neutered this week. Thanks to Arizona Cattle Dog Rescue who so graciously assisted with the bills. Boone can now play safely with all his pack fur-friends of the Village. He cannot wait to get back on the trail! 

 

2. 

My online statistics class - that I was dreading - started on Monday. Yeah, not really grateful for that. But what I am grateful for is that a) the class really isn't that hard. I don't remember it being this easy, but so far, it's all just making sense. and b) I'm already ahead. I've completed everything that isn't due until Tuesday which gives me the weekend to also work on my other two classes. 

 

 

 3. 

Aside from working on classes, the extra time I've made by getting ahead also means I get to spend some time playing in this space this week. I'm looking forward to catching up on Week 10 of Project Life. Go ME! 

 

4. 

And, speaking of Project Life, here's a glimps at Week 9. I've been caught up all week it seems! Feels good and stress free. 

 

5. 

 

I still can't believe these are scenes from my commute every day. So pretty. Sooooo pretty.

 

and that wraps up this weeks TGIF! Have a great week everyone!
