Well, the time has arrived for me to go to Monique & Daren's wedding!!! :) I'll be leaving later this morning for the five hour trip, so please keep your fingers crossed for a safe, uneventful drive. My friend, Brent, is riding with me, so that will make the drive tolerable. :)
The weather forecast for tomorrow looks good, too! The temps are supposed to be in the low 90's (ugh!) but no thunderstorms are predicted, so that's good. Even if it does rain, though, we'll manage. Isn't there some old saying about rain being good luck on a wedding day? Anyway, for Mo's nerves, we'll hope for a DRY day!! :o)
Monique will be at the rehearsal dinner tonight, so instead of sitting by myself at the hotel, I will be going to supper with my good friends, John & Esther. I am really looking forward to that! :) It will be good to catch up with them!
The wedding will be at 10:30 AM tomorrow (Saturday) with a luncheon reception to follow. Be thinking of them and sending happy wishes their way!! :o) I hope to be home tomorrow night but not knowing how long the day will be, I'm not going to promise pictures until at least Sunday. Come to think of it, I really don't know if I'll be able to get pictures up until later this week! Sorry!
hahaha... Just kidding!!!! :D Pictures by Sunday night!! :) Enjoy your weekend!!!

Three down, ONE to go!!!
Wahoo!! I just finished another class!! :o) I just submitted my final paper for my history class on American women's experiences and now I am DONE with that class! Yay!! My paper ended up being an eight page paper, so that wasn't too bad but I am still glad to be done with it. Really, it was the easiest of all of my classes so I can't complain. I'm just glad that I can have some FUN now!! :o) I have one more class to finish up and with that class, I have two discussion posts to participate in next week and then we get a week to study for the final exam on August 6. Other than that, I'm done with that class, too. Yay! :)
Classes for the fall semester will begin on August 23 and I'll be taking three classes this fall. Hopefully it won't be as intense, though, because I'll be completing the courses in 16-week time periods rather than eight (like this summer has been). So...a little bit of a break before I start again! I'm just HAPPY to be almost done for the summer!! WAHOO!!! :)

Mosie
Today is kind of a sad day. My good friend, Mosie (Monique or Mo to some of you) is moving on to a new town. She is going to be marrying Daren soon (end of July) and they'll be living on a farm located smack in the middle of some great plains. It's only about...TWELVE HOURS from me!!! Ugh!
I am excited for her and I know that they'll be very happy, but I am going to miss having my friend living a block away from me!! Fortunately, I'll get to see her a couple more times before her big wedding day and permanent move. *sigh* Change is never easy, is it? I'm excited for Mo, but I'll miss her lots!
Congratulations and best of luck to both of you!!! :o)

PS -- Mo, if Daren doesn't want his picture on my blog...well, then don't tell him it's on here. ;o) Just kidding! I hope he doesn't mind!! :)
This just in!
Apparently, I'm cynical. :) I had mentioned the other day what my friend said and that other friends are 50/50 on whether or not I'm cynical. However, this weekend, we looked up the definition and although a lot of them say "motivated by selfishness" (which I do not believe is me (and if YOU think that's me...don't tell me)), right smack in the middle of the definition it says, "Doubtful as to whether something will happen or is worthwhile." I must say that I'm not usually so skeptical about whether something will happen, but I do often question if the "thing" that's happening would be WORTH happening (if that makes any sense). :) So...I guess I'm a cynic! I'm not so sure how I feel about that, but I guess that I really can't argue it because that's how I feel! My thought process is usually, "Yes, it's fine if you want do that (whatever "that" is), but I really don't know if I think it's worth the energy that goes into making it work!" So there you go! Another mystery solved. :)

*sigh*
My last post had been titled "Wednesday" (because I was talking about what was happening for that day) and I realized just now that I thought it was Wednesday at the time that I was writing and it was really only Tuesday. *sigh*
I hate when you have days at work where things happen and you feel like you're being treated like a 10-year-old and you feel like you should go take a time-out in your room or something. All because of how people approach you with a situation. *sigh*
For some reason I have been feeling SO tired lately and I'm not sure if it's just the warm weather outside and so I'm not sleeping that well or if I'm just not getting enough sleep. All I know is that the biggest effect on me (besides feeling tired) is that it makes me want to cry over the smallest things. I hate when my response to something is that I just want to cry. Dad has always said to me, "Cry over something worth crying about." and today's situation was NOT worth crying about, but because I feel so tired...I just wanted to cry. *sigh*
On a positive note, I have tomorrow off of work. Wahoo! :) I have a doctor's appointment in a near-by city and then I'm going to do a little shopping. It will be a nice, relaxing day and I plan to enjoy every minute of it and the nice weather we're having!!! :) *sigh*
On another positive note, my car is all fixed up and cleaned up and I have it back full-time now. Yay! I had to take it back in yesterday so that they could re-do some things and now it's in tip-top shape. The only downer is that the person who cleaned my car must have taken out the sunshield (that you put in the front window) and they forgot to put it back in. So...it's gone and now I need to go buy a new one. *sigh*

Tuesday
So, I was reminded again today how much I hate confrontation. Even if it's not angry confrontation and is perfectly calm, I still don't like it. I worry too much about hurting people's feelings. Why can't I be better with that kind of thing? It's like I operate on two options with confrontation: 1) hold it in and never say a word, hoping it will go away, or 2) let my anger get the best of me and then I say things I regret and end up apologizing anyway. Oh, whatever. I'm just glad that I'm not a manager of people. I don't think I'd do real well. :)
Well, I thought that once I finished another class, I'd have little more free time on my hands, but thus far, I have not felt that way! :( What's up with that, anyway? Maybe it's because I've not really put much effort into my classes since I turned my paper in on Sunday. Hmmm...I might be on to something. :)
So, my friend told me the other day that I'm cynical about men. For those of you that know me, do you agree? I've asked a few other friends about it and so far the response back is 50/50. I'm not sure if they're afraid to tell the truth or if half of my friends are oblivious to some characteristic of mine.
I had to get to a drain last night that's located UNDER my dryer. I only found out that it's under my DRYER after I had pulled the WASHER out from the wall. Sheesh. Needless to say, the floor under the washer AND dryer are all clean now. That's a plus, I guess. :)
I have had some ants roaming around my bathroom for a few days, so I put out some Raid-killer-ant-food-traps and voila...ants have not returned. But then I found one in the kitchen yesterday, so I put a trap out there. I really don't know if it's the traps that worked or if it's the fact that the remaining ants could smell the death of their "ant friends" that I had smushed prior to my purchase of the traps. I like to think it was a combo of both. :)
Okay, all for now. Just thought I'd throw a little info out there to make your world a better place. Ta-ta 'til later! :o)
PS -- I just watched a crow eat two worms and let me tell ya something...they don't CHEW!! I mean, even though spaghetti is easy to slurp down, don't you usually chew it, too? Well, why wouldn't a bird chew it's food? Gross.

Two down, Two to go.
I just finished up another class! Wahoo! That's two down and two more to go. One of the two left actually "officially" finished today but he gave us a TWO WEEK extension on our final paper. I don't have to have it submitted unitl the 23rd. WAHOO!!!! My fourth (and final!) class will end on August 6. I already feel less stressed!! Yippee!! :)
On a side note, check out this wild video of Jocelyn's baby girl who is ROLLING OVER already at only 11 DAYS OLD!!! (When you click on the link, the page that loads will have a black video box in the middle...just press the play button in the left hand corner and the video should start playing.) Anyway, I've never seen such a thing!!! Go, Briley, Go!! I don't know what Jocelyn feeds her, but it must be some good stuff, eh? ;o)
