{ Making the Grade - and other things }

So, I finally earned a 100% on one of my Business Law papers. I was getting worried, but now I know I am capable!! I still have a solid A in the class... so I am happy.

I am now done with my graduation announcements and party invites;

they are being mailed today. Graduation (for my Bachelors) is coming up pretty quickly.

Here's a photo I included with the handmade announcements and invites; I think they turned out okay (considering!):

Got My Eyebrows Did

I went to JoAnn's (Craft Store) and Target & Hallmark today with a girlfriend. We are both graduating next month with our Bachelors Degrees (yes, kind of weird that I have already started my Masters)... and we are making our own announcements. We found cardstock/invite stuff, but nothing really for graduation (we were looking for stickers and stuff). The issue with Arizona, is our high schools (and elem. and middle) are done at the end of May... so by July, why would they have any graduations stuff?! I cannot find any "Class of 2009" stickers a-n-y-w-h-e-r-e. =[ Anyway... I LOVE JoAnn's - they have cute signs and stuff (I am a sucker for Americana!!)... These two lovelies called out my name, so I HAD to oblige...(they aren't Americana, more like country - but I love them!). PLUS - they were 50% off - so $7 each.

To make up for the fact that we couldn't find any graduation stuff...we had Taco Bell for lunch. =]

And we got our eyebrows done. My girlfriend goes every 2 weeks; this was only my second time in MY LIFE. It [HURT!]. And now I am pink. lol.

Before - sorry for the half-drunken look! lol

After

Is there even a difference? lol Kinda reminds me of some Infomercial. Scary.

Anyway... had a great day! Now I am home cleaning up (well, abt to start) and getting ready to fix dinner for the hubby (who claims he will be home "early" tonight. Crossing my fingers.

I think my Professor hates me.

My Business Law instructor is really quick with getting us our grades, but I am losing a lot of points and don't really know why. I emailed him today to ask for specific feedback; let's hope he responds.

Any lawyers out there that want to view my briefs (yeah, you heard me!)?
;)

100% A

Yes! Just got my final grade for my first class of my MBA!

That feels good. The next class will be more difficult, but I think I will really like it; it's Business Law!

So for now... I think I will enjoy my 4.0! =)

Must Study

I have my first exam of my masters program tomorrow night.

I.Really.Need.To.Study.Really.

In between now and then, I also have two full days of work, 3 kids, 1 husband, 1 dog, a few meals to make, some work outs to fit in, and... What was I thinking?

Well, first things first - off to take Nic to daycare. That will allow me some space and peace to get to work, allowing me to try to carve out some time today to work on my class notes.

Wish me luck!

Report Cards

So, today was the last day of school and Isabel brought her report card home for me to review.
She earned 4 B's, 3 As and a C in Math. [math was not my favorite either]

I am very proud of her. Next year we are going to work towards Honor Role!! I made sure to let her know how proud I was.

Alex's report card will be mailed to me. I hope it's not too bad...

Famous First Post

I am addicted to blogs. You will find proof of this on the my sidebar [over there --> to the right].
I will be adding more of my favorite reads as I go - but it takes time, and since I am trying to sneak blogging in between work projects and school - show me a little patience, will ya? ;)

I have blogged before -- many times. However, I get bored easily. I can't tell you how many blogs I've deleted. Never really found my voice. So, I decided to just be me. I promise I will try to post to this blog at least 3 or 4 times a week. Once we reach our first goal of becoming debt free and we start looking for our first home, I am sure the post count will double.

I have a favorite blog I want to share with you in my next post. Until then, hasta luego!
