right about now, I’m really wanting a tattoo.

My very best friend Jason, who is a super rad comic book geek/mac shack culinary wizard/lead vocals/guitar/lyrical genius to the useless, visited us this Summer. He and I spent our days watching Freaks and Geeks (which if you haven’t seen, you should) and discussing the tattoos that we would get at some point during the trip which never actually happened because my husband thinks he’s my dad and told me no–and I listened. Jason went home to Boise and actually got his tattoo–a skanking Belushi circa 1980’s The Blues Brothers.

Me, I have yet to do it. It’s really not so much that the husband told me no, like I care. It’s a big decision. I’m taking my time to think about it. I know I want some beautiful typography across my forearms but I have yet to decide on what exactly I want written. I’m thinking Beatles lyrics or some sort of mathematical equation/formula/symbols. Yep, because I think the integral sign is beautiful and partial derivatives of multivariable equations kind of make me giddy.

Anywho, I’ve finally decided that I’m going to stop sucking w/ the updating of the blog. Seriously. Stop. Sucking. w/. the. updating. Of. the. Blog.(.)<—denotes the end of the sentence. I think things are emphasized more when I put a period after each word in the sentence and a double period at the very end. Like my moves?

Furthermore, Black Friday is the worst idea ever. Black. Friday. is. the. WORST. idea. ever.(.)

today, i’m thankful for the little things.

It’s Thanksgiving today. Right now the husband and the babe are napping together and I’m doing absolutley nothing. We celebrated last weekend w/ the big to do: the turkey, the stuffing, the potatoes, the gravy, the homemade rolls, the deserts and the house full of people. It was really nice and of course means that today I GET to do NOTHING. Absolutley. Nothing. At. All. I slept until 10 o’clock. I didn’t shower and get out of my pajamas until 2 o’clock. Joe and Terrance have been napping since then. I’ve done nothing. Who’s jealous?

Next week is dead week on campus. It’s my favorite part of the term. Mostly no new material. Zero homework (for the most part) and it’s the week before finals. And the week after that is week one of the three reserved for winter break. That is awesomoness.

On a lamer note, I’m going to spend the aforementioned break relearning Calc III. For that reason I’m shopping for a non-riduclously priced oversized white board to hang in our family room and do mad math things on. I’m hoping to find something fabulous at a thrift store. Wish me luck.

@ 2 years and 4 months she:

*is quite sassy and ends most requests with, “right now, please.”
—>Refers to her little people and most of her animal toys as her friends. =)
Calls Bosco her baby boy and kisses him regularly.
tells me that she likes my bangs.
is going to be Abby Cadabby for Halloween.
is a TOTAL daddy’s girl.
lines up everything.
talks like it’s nobody’s business.
she’s no longer baby T. She’s a little girl.

As sad as I am that she’s grown up so quickly, I’m so excited for who she is and even more so to see who
she will become. I can’t imagine a better thing in life than watching your child grow up.

4 down (almost), 6 more to go…

weeks, that is. And because it’s week 4 I’m facing two horrid midterms tomorrow back.to.back: calc IV and linear algebra. *big sigh* And no matter what, no matter how much I study or how many problems I practice and NO MATTER how many times I read, reread and rewrite my notes I NEVER feel ready for these exams.

A few new things.

After much debate I’ve decided to move my blog (again) because I realized that I was paying way too much money for something that I wasn’t using very often. So, here I am, a WordPress blogger now and still getting aquainted with it and all the free features. =) I’ve linked my archives from my two previous blogs (typepad and blogger) so you can still go back there to view things and read previous posts.

Classes resumed on Monday and I started this term with a new look: bangs! The last time I had bangs was in 5th grade so, it’s been like 15 years. I’ love the look. I think I look younger.

I’m happy to say that this term should go much smoother than the last (final grades: MTH 280-C, MTH 254-C, CS 162-B). I’d never gotten a C in a math class before last term and I was devistated. I got C’s because I never had time to do my homework or study and my quiz and test scores clearly proved that. This term T’s in daycare fulltime so that I have ample time to complete each day’s assignment and review my notes and study the material a bit more. I can already tell you that it’s making a huge difference and that I will not be getting C’s in any of this terms classes (MTH 341, MTH 254, CS 271).

More to come soon.
