I bought new tires for my car today! After a few phone calls, I finally laid $499 on the table for four brand-spankin' new tires. Since winter is coming sooner than later, I figured it'd be better for me to be prepared with new tires since my other ones were practically bald!! Buying tires, as always, was an interesting experience and not one that I enjoy very much. The quoted price for four tires of varying brands, but similar styles, ranged from $72 per tire to $183 per tire. This was after calling four different shops in town. I ended up going with a middle-of-the-line-price by purchasing four Cooper tires. Here's to hoping that they treat me well!! :)
School is going good. I'm really learning a lot from my Public Relations class and my Relationship Ethics class, so I enjoy attending those classes. My third class, Advanced Communication Theory, is not that great and the instructor is difficult to tolerate because of his rudeness and crudeness. I don't dare say anything, though, because he's the kind that would take it out on you in your grades. So, needless to say, I'm looking forward to December and the end of the semester. Only eleven more weeks of class and then one week of finals! Wahoo! Wait...is it a little too early to start that countdown? :)
I've already started looking at tickets to fly to Wisconsin at Christmas. I can't believe that it's time to look at that already! It's been great to have mom & dad come out here and visit more often throughout the year. They are loving retirement and I'm loving that they're retired!!! :)
Since fall seems to be settling in for everyone, I decided to change the blog's background to some pretty fall foliage. It's my favorite season!!
Things at work have slowed down TREMENDOUSLY, thank goodness. Now I'm just trying to stay motivated with actually catching up!! When things slow down, it's easy to get into a mood of wanting to slow down a little, too, but it's important that I keep plugging along and GET AHEAD with things!
I purchased season tickets again for the university's women's basketball team. I'm not sure that I'll make it to all of the games, but as a friend reminded me, I'm still supporting the team with my purchase! :)
Hope you're doing well on this fine September day! Happy fall! :)

I love your new background. Fall is my favorite time of year!
Fall ?! The trees are all still green here and it's still pretty warm. Oh how I miss those beautiful cool Laramie Fall days. And so beautiful too with the leaves blowing in the breeze. Sigh.
LuvYa
I love your background too. I just told Lance today that fall is my favorite time of year. Of course he had to know why and what fall was and a few other questions. He keeps one on their toes. He stayed with us again while his mommy went grocery shopping in Bozeman.
Hey Jen
Your cost of tires runs pretty much as they do around here. I just paid $97.00 for one. I had a $20. discount because of the first bill for repair and it didn't work. We also put 4 new tires on Jacks dads care for around $400. and something. So thats not to bad what you paid. Love ya Aunt Barb
Can you name one thing you've learned in Relationship Ethics class? Just curious what the content is. Maybe you have a syllabus?
