oh dear....

I forgot to tag people in my "10 happy things" post...so if your feeling a little sluggish, or a little behind on blogging, I would say names of a few people who could use an update or two, but whose pointing fingers anyway? My aunt tagged me for this and then wrote on my blog that she tagged me and I could use an update. So here's to all you out of dater bloggers...update and make it a happy one :)

Now don't ya'll panic

I know I know...I haven't been posting as regularly..there is a reason. School has started up for the two of us and I am exhausted. So the week before school started I was signed up to take a psych class on Saturdays, I received the syllabus and panicked, it was just a tid of over the top too much for me. So I got out of that class and replaced it with another class, Gender 301, reading the description it was about the psychology aspect why men and women do the things they do and what have you. I showed up the first day of school, it was a night class, which was a major bummer, I haven't had to have night classes in so long, I wasn't looking forward to it. Anyway, I go to class, hear the mundane stuff for the up-teenth time and then we are on our way to talk about the things this class is about. Well after much discussion I came to realize I was in a class full of men and women who liked men and women (ie. men vs men, women vs. women) ya get the point. Now I have no problem with any one's sexual orientation, its their life, I have friends that choose to be that way, I have no problem, the problem I had was sitting in a class for 3 hours listening to the way they think and having to deal with that all semester long, just didn't cut it for me, and trying to figure out why they think that way, then them pushing their thoughts on me, just, Plus it was a service learning class so 1o hrs a wk with an agency in the community, creating a project and carrying it out to the community, while it may have been fun to work with the communities it was just too much for me. Plus you couldn't pick your own agency, they chose for you and most of them had to do with Gay/Lesbian excepts Planned parenthood, which would have been my preferred choice, but she told us she made the final decision on which one we were put in and I wasn't taking any risks here. So that night, I got out 15 minutes later...ahhh I felt so claustrophobic in that class room I was running for the door. Anyway I dropped the class and added a non-verbal communication class. Now...that is a shocker for me as well, because I don't like communication classes, but last semester I have a required comm interviewing class and loved it and so I decided to give this non-verbal one a try, and now I am stuck with it but I think it will be good.

Manuel is taking classes this semester too. English 102 and an electronics class. So far so good, although it was really funny because he has to read for 102 and the other night I left him alone downstairs so he could read and I was talking on the phone. I came down later and he said he was going to bed.. I asked if he read and he said no, I wasn't down to push him...hah. He's so funny. I went up stairs to talk so I wouldn't but him and he could do his homework...I don't blame him though, I am not much of a reader myself. I put it off till the last minute.

That's our lives in a nutshell. both working, and school...life is just a little busy right now. I am already counting down the days until spring break..that is just bad, b/c I have been counting since the first day which was the 20th of January. It seems to be going by rather quickly though, which is good.

I will try to update more often-

10 happy things

I was tagged by my Aunt Lacy You are supposed to list 10 things that make you happy.

1. Spending time with my husband.

2. Knowing that school is coming to an end at the end of this year...what a great way to end the year!

3. Spending time with both sides of the family. They are so different in so many ways, that either family we are with, we are sure to have a good time.

4. Cooking makes me happy, even though I don't do it nearly enough like I should I still love making dinner for the man, and hearing him say he loves it even when I don't think it looks good or looks like the picture...I have issues when I cook with pictures, I think I have expectations to meet apparently.

5. Dr. Pepper and licorice ropes...absolute fav!

6. Vacations with my husband. I think of our honeymoon and our cruise all the time.

7. Talking on the phone to anyone who wants to talk...especially my sister, we can talk for hours and laugh about things

8. Having my dad call me out of the blue to see how my day is going!

9. My mom calling me and laughing...or calling me late at night and leaving me messages singing me..that one she will never live down and you can guarantee it makes me smile, laugh each time I think about.

10. My little brothers asking when I am coming home again, because they want to see me.

There are many things that make me extremely happy, but these are just a few random ones that I am sure you all needed to know :)
