Lots of Little Stuff

On my mind right now:

• nervous about going to class tomorrow and Sunday


• (I'm so old now that I will look like one of those "old hags" I used to see in my classes and wonder what on earth they're still doing in school when they're old already (hmm... what comes around goes around, huh?! I would have been much better off repenting for those judgmental thoughts, lol!)


• What do people bring to class nowadays? Do they bring their laptops and take notes on that? Do they still use notebooks? (I'm bringing both so I have both options covered.)


• Are we going to have homework?


• Is it going to be a B-O-R-I-N-G lecture-type format, or is it going to be hands-on? (It's a class about integrating technology in the classroom.)


• Will people be dressed casual or will they be dressed up? (I'm going casual 'cause that's the kind of gal I am.)


• Mostly, why am I obsessing so much about this? Normally I could care less. I'm not there to meet people--just to pass the class.

• Missing my Ashley who is full-on into teenager-hood, and "chases" me out of her room anytime I want to go in there to chat with her for a few minutes


• After I've chatted with her for like one minute: "Great. You can go now." "Thanks. You can leave now." "Okay, I'm busy now doing my teenie bopper things" (not true about the "teenie bopper" part--she doesn't say it; I just think it ;)

• LOVING the fact that Carlos enjoys spending time with me ("Mommy, will you play with me?" "Mommy, I want to play with you."--music to my ears)


• Excited (and nervous!) about starting the photgraphy assignment on Monday. I will be doing it every morning next week.


• Stressing about how I'm going to balance work and home when I get a job


• Frustrated that I took such a l-o-n-g break from paper scrapping that it takes me hours to get a page done (not to mention I don't even know how to use certain products, like distressing ink, chalk, etc.). I guess I really am a digi scrapper at heart, but I refuse to give up paper scrapping. It can be very satisfying in a different way.


• EXTREMELY excited because my shows are starting:


• CSI (all of them!)


• Criminal Minds


• Beach Patrol

and a new cooking show I like on Planet Green called Emeril Green (I'm a huge Emeril fan).

Oh, and I designed a cover for my notebook :) Here it is: I used a free "brush" (a digital stamp) from the internet. The quote says, "Art is abstraction [NO idea what that means!], it's the way to rise up toward God by doing what our divine Master does: create."

Happy Weekend, y'all!
