It has started

I have finally started studying for the praxis! Yes this is true! I spent about 4 hours on Sunday making notecards then realized that it was not the best way to study for this type of test. Now I have started over. I am not reading the review book and only making notecards for the stuff I don't really remember.

On another note it was a bad Monday today. I got a phone call from my second supervisor saying that one of our clients had canceled. Well I'm not real sure what I was thinking because I automatically assumed it was the first client at 12:30. Well at about 12:45 it hit me that it was really the last client of the day that canceled and there was no way I would make it to the therapy so I just stayed and looked like a moron when I finally did meet up with her.

PS tonight I used the jumprope that I bought a way long time ago with Tania and Jen. I have now gotten my $3.00 out of it but I should probably use it a few more times so I don't feel so out of shape when I am chasing the kiddos around the clinic.

Look Two days in a row

I know this is not like me but yes, I am posting two days in a row. Maybe it's the beginning of a new habit. Try to not get your hopes up. My day today, Hmmmm... I woke up earlier than I really should have been up but I finished addressing save the date cards along with stamping them all. The majority of the cards are in the mail and on there way to loved ones. Some of them are still with me because we are still trying to get several more addresses. Then I sewed some more of the beads onto my Veil and did more wedding stuff. I worked real hard today to keep busy and find excuse on why I shouldn't study for the Praxis. Then we all went out to dinner at Brick House Pizza which is by far the BEST pizza on the face of the earth. If anyone comes out to see me it is garontied that they will get treated to dinner at Brick House!! Then BJ, Brett, Jackie and I went to an AC Rock concert. It was a group of four men who sang a cappella. And yes they did look like the wiggles but they sang better music than the wiggles. I had fun. It was one of those things that was good for the whole family and times like these I wish I had a family to take to them. Hope you had a good weekend!! Tomorrow I am going to spend studying for at least 2 hours.

WOW

I know I'm falling behind on my bloging. So I'm sorry for all of my regular blog readers. I feel bad because I am jumping back and forth between houses and real busy with my internship, work and the wedding stuff. I feel like lately when I'm at work I am going an million miles a minute playing and planning for the kids. Then when I get home at night I either complete the paper work I put off during the day or spend hours doing crazy wedding planning stuff. All this and I haven't even started the Capstone project that is required for graduation. AHHH I will be very happy between April 24th and May 21. I will do nothing during that time I think. Just sleep in late and maybe if everything works out well get settled into a new house/apartment. There is just so much to do and so little time. Guess that's life.

What to wear, What to wear.

For most people figuring out what to wear takes maybe a whole two min. Well for me I have to put a lot more thinking into what I should wear for the day. Picking out my pants and shirt, that's basically the easiest thing. I have the most difficult time picking out my undergarments. Yes, truly my undergarments are the most difficult thing to pick out. Obviously, my bra depends on the shirt I will be wearing and the amount of time I will be in it. I can choose between supper comfortable or semi comfie and good looking. But what I spend the most time on deciding what I should wear everyday are my socks. Yes, oh yes, my socks. Now that I get to be an SLP I don't have to wear shoes which means my socks are very noticeable and the only thing that separates my feet from the floors of peoples houses. They keep me warm yet need to match. Depending on the day I may need thicker socks because the floors are cold where other days I just need something cute so I don't have to look at my toes peaking out.

Do you have an article of clothing that is hard for you to decide on?

First Day

First, sorry I forgot to tell you where we registered. We registered at Bed, Bath and Beyond; Target; and Marshall Fields/Macy's.

Second, today was my first day of my internship. Now I don't want to sound snobby or anything but I am 14 weeks and 4 days away from being done. Well actually 15 weeks away from being 100% done. I figured it out today that I will finish my internship the Friday before the big paper is due so on Monday, April 24th I will have completed all of my school work have one month to wait for my actual degree. WAHOO.

So I bet you are all wondering how my first day went. It was fun. It wasn't nearly as exhausting as I was expecting that's for sure. Now you have to keep in mind that for the past 5 years I have worked a job that is fast paced and crazy busy, so spending the majority of my day in a car was nothing compared to that. I saw 6 kids today and tomorrow will probably see about the same number. For my first day of work I wore my outfit that I wear when I need extra confidence. (I get that boost of confidence because I look good in the outfit so I feel good so I'm more out going.) I also wore my polar bear socks just in case my outfit didn't help me out. But no worries, the hardest thing for me to do is to not yawn while with the clients. There are times when therapy just seems to drag by and it's hard to not yawn. I also had to go out and buy some cardigan to wear because I get cold easily and with gas costing so much this year people are keeping their homes cooler than what I find comfortable.

tomorrow night I will be at my dad's house so I might not be able to blog if not see you in a few days.

Having Troubles

Well if you haven't noticed I am not posting as much as I typically do. That's because I am having a hard time adjusting to being home and getting everything accomplished that I want to do. Most of you know I have two homes where I try to divide my attention between but I also have BJ who I would like to spend the majority of my time with. This all causes a problem because I spend several hours a day driving to and from houses or talking with people. When I was at school I would run out of things to do, so that's when I would post. Now when I run out of things to do I want to go to sleep. Starting tomorrow I begin my internship thing and hopefully I can create more of a routine that I can fall into. Once I have formed this routine I can figure out what days will have room in them to post and what days do not.

On another note, since I last posted BJ and I registered which was a ton of fun. I personally think we went a little overboard but hey its just a wish list of things we would like to have not necessarily a list of what we must have. Even though there are some items that we registerd for that would make life a lot easier if we had like bed sheets or lamps or silverware. However, the whole process took about 10 times longer than I expected and I was really exhausted after we were done. I worked during the day on Friday and then made BJ dinner that night. He was very proud of me, I didn't burn anything down and it wasn't macaroni and cheese from the blue box. Then we goofed around online a little more with our registies and created a new one because we found more stuff we liked at another store. Saturday Megan and I went to go get our toes done for Megan's birthday (only a month late). I have cute little snowmen on my big toe and Megan had flowers put on hers. I felt bad though because I paid with a credit card and they didn't give me an option for a tip and the only cash I had on me was a $10 bill so I didn't leave a tip. I hate when I have to do that, they spent so much time on my toes and I couldn't leave a tip. Then Saturday night BJ and I saw Memoirs of a Geisha. It was real good and very cultural informative. I liked it and am now reading the book. I, unlike some, like to see the movie first then read the book because the book fills in gaps the movie leaves out enhancing the overall experience of the whole thing. If I do it the other way around then I don't enjoy the movie as much or spend to much time analyzing how the two were different.

Well that's all for now. Hopefully tomorrow I will post about the first day of work.

Work, Its really not that fun!

Well I do enjoy going to work when I am poor because I know I really need the money and it is the only way to make my bank account look a little fat. However, it is really hard to be super nice and sweet to people for 7 hours. I had to take a little extra time away from people during the course of the day just so I wouldn't accidentally be mean to the sick people. Plus for the first few hours I wasn't feeling so hot myself so it was even harder to wait on people hand and foot.

Well yesterday I forgot to mention my New Year's resolutions. I made two, and personally I think that is pretty darn good. My first on is to get in shape before the wedding. Grad school and college really let me slack a lot, so I need to start running or something just to get more energy. Second, I'm going on an allowance. I am giving myself $20 a week in cash and besides gas or other expenses I am already obligated to pay, that is the only money I can spend that week. This will help out the first resolution because if I only have $20 then I won't want to spend it on fast food or stuff like that, so I will be healthier.

What are your New Year's resolutions? Anything spectacular?

Happy New Year

Well first and for most, Happy New Year. Second, guess I cursed myself! So last post I mentioned that I was hoping for fun and exciting times on the eve of the new year to help ring in the super special year. Yeah well this is how it all played out. The day before New Years eve eve we went to a wedding and stayed in a nice hotel out by where the wedding was. I think hotels now are getting the idea that when people stay there they want to be comfortable because the bed at this place was awesome, the pillows were great, and the sheets were softer than anything I have slept on in a while. So anyway, New years eve we woke up super early to get bj to work on time, turns out we could have spent an extra 30 minutes sleeping because we got to his store before anyone else did. Then I left BJ there and came home to clean. Fun I know. Then I drove out to pick BJ up at the time he told me to but the store was so busy we ended up staying an hour later than normal. While I was at the store waiting for BJ the people we were supposed to go out with for New Years ended up calling and saying they were sick. And if your sick you really don't want to pay to go out and not drink. So here it is 4:00 on New Years Eve and we have no plans. So BJ and I get to his house and quickly try to make plans for the evening. We decided to once again go bowling and spend the evening at the bowling ally. Well around 10:30 I started to feel kinda funny. I didn't know if I was hungry or if I had eaten something weird. So I sat a few games out. Well as the night went by I just got worse and worse and worse. The clock struck midnight, we said happy New Year, and I said we need to go I am going to be sick. So my first day of 2006 was spent sleeping on BJ's bathroom floor because every time I would try to move I would get sick. Sometime during the day BJ's mother convinced me to move downstairs so everyone could make sure I was still alive. 24 hours later I was soar, and asleep but today, Jan. 2, I was at least a little more social than the day before. So I hope that the first day of the new year does not influence the rest of the year because that would stink pretty bad! Hope your holiday was better than mine!
