A Fleeting Moment

This was posted just to prove that, for a brief moment in time,

I WAS WINNING!!

Bowling with the fam...well, half of them.

Love my boys, even when they beat me. =)

More Signs of Spring

Beautiful wisteria growing beside Highway 11, near the Sulphur River.

A tiny little clump of Indian paintbrushes growning out by our county road.

The only spot of color in a sea of rye grass.

The first Indian Paintbrushes I have seen this season. My most favorite flowers!!

More of the beautiful wisteria. I love the purple against the bright green!

A Sure Sign of Spring

Aunt Hattie's Irises

Gosh, how I miss that woman.

Things are NOT always as bad as they seem. Thankfully.

I met with one of my profs this morning, and now life is looking up. It seems that I was needlessly worrying, (which I have a major tendency to do). He has assured me that as long as I keep up with the due dates, post on the discussion board as scheduled, and

R-E-L-A-X,

then things will be fine.

What a lovely Friday it is turning out to be. =)

Frustrations Abound

I will graduate from college with a Bachelors Degree in English in 52 calendar days. 18 class days. Wanna know how many hours, minutes, seconds??? I could totally tell you. Seriously. I have reached the point in my educational career where I practically do not care any more. Learning is for the birds. Ugh.

OK, those of you who actually know me know that is a load of crap. I desperately want make good grades. I have busted my butt for the last four years to get straight A's. The two B's on my transcript make me want to weep whenever I see them. I have resigned myself to making a B in my Spanish class. That won't affect my GPA enough to ruin my chance to graduate with honors.

That being said...

I currently have Bs in three - yes, THREE - of my classes!!

*insert wailing and gnashing of teeth*

In all honesty, these are not really my fault. I am having some serious issues with two of my professors. The problems are nothing I can control, and I need to just let them go and move on, but that's not really how I roll. Unfortunately.

I need to figure out a way to make my head and my heart understand that it is ok if I do not graduate with highest honors.

But it's really not. ='o(

Ah...Springtime

This picture? I totally sent that with my phone!!

Nothing is safe now...

Long time, no see...er, blog.

Well, it's been ELEVEN months since I last posted. Why such a long time, you ask? I'll tell you, but you've got to promise there will be no eye rolling, nor muttering under your breath, OK? Thank you.

You see, it all started when I logged onto my blog one day and discovered that my super cute zebra stripe with a red ribbon and blingy sparkles background had disappeared! Not being quite the blogging pro some of you are, I figured I had done something, or should have done something, or meant to do something, that made my super cute zebra stripe with a red ribbon and blingy sparkles background disappear like that. After much investigating (read: going to their website) I discovered that my blog background "provider" had closed up shop. I spent the better part of the morning searching for another super cute zebra stripe with a red ribbon and blingy sparkles background, but to no avail. Alas.

I was so ticked off by this turn of events that I just simply stopped blogging. I suppose you could call it a cyber-pout.

So, why am I back now, you ask? I'll tell you, but please hold your applause until I finish, OK? Thank you.

I discovered that I can automatically upload pictures from my photo software directly to my blog!!

*insert happy dancing and jazz hands, (along with creepy Jack Nicholson voice)*
I'M BACK!!!
