Google Voice

Hey, I got a Google Voice number!  You all will probably just use my (801) number because it is local to you, but I thought I'd give out my new number too.  Call (314) 270-2848 and it will ring to my cell phone!  Cool, huh?

Top 50

So, I went in for my 6 month cleaning with Dr Danny Theurer on Wednesday. Wait...let me back up. I was sick earlier this week and had to stay home from work for two day. Not the funnest way to use my pto, but it had to be done. By Wednesday, I was feeling much better and went in for my check up. (One minor cavity that needs to be fixed next Wednesday. No biggie.) I got an oral cancer screen (Yep. I'm clear!) and I got a black envelope. Dr Theurer told me that he and his brother, who he shares his practice with, have an annual "Top 100" patients social, (50 from each) and as it turns out, I'm one of Dr Danny Theurers top 50 patients. They are going to have a social the first part of October...with candy. Yes. Candy at a dentist party. It made me laugh. So after he cleaned my teeth, took an x-ray of the tooth that will be fixed on Wednesday he was talking to me. I was very tired at this point. And apparently looking very tired. I had only slept about 3 hours total the night before. And then I had been working on school work for a few hours before having to dash out the door in order to get there on time. He looked at me and said, 'You don't look good. I'm thinking one of two things. Either you are really pissed about this, or you are tired." I reassured him that I was just tired and not upset at him for having to do more dental work. If anything, I would be most upset at myself because I didn't go to the dentist for 7-8 years. You live and learn, right? Anyway, back to the social. I've wanted to tell my friends at work, but I have two friends who go see Dr Theurer and I don't know if they were invited. And if they didn't get invited, I don't want to come across as a snob and sounding like I'm better than them. But you, as my family, don't get that privalige of me holding back my feelings. And since none of you go see Dr Danny, I don't feel so bad about saying this. :)

School update

Well...I'm 16 days into my 6 months of school. And so far it's going well. Just a few minor hang ups, what with not being able to get access to certain school websites. So I've been doing a lot of reading. I've just got my first two assignments that I've set a due date for the end of the month. One is a 3-5 page essay and the other is a 5-7 page essay on two different case studies. Seems really easy on the surface. But I'm sure once I get working, it will become more detailed and in depth than I first thought. Good thing I've done a lot of reading about the first subject. :)

I was talking with Mom and told her that there is a school hoodie that I want to get, but it costs $40 with shipping. She told me that if I complete my assigned courses by the end of the year, that I could buy it. And speaking of the end of the year...if all goes well, I will have completed 14 credits. And I will still have time to take on another class if I'd like. :) February 2014 doesn't look so scarily close any more. My goal is acheiveable! :D

Will someone please post pictures of my new niece?  And let me know how everything is going?  Pretty please?

The kids are gone

Jason and Grace are gone and it is bitter sweet. I can't live with them and yet it is funny how much I think about them and wonder how they are doing. I hope everything goes well for them, they deserve a bright future, and right now it looks pretty dim. I felt like we made some progress but they will probably backslide now that they are with Anne, she definately does things different than I do. I wouldn't have made it through without the help of Julie, Dad, Christa, Liam, Danny, Tommy and even Wes. Yesterday was the first day to myself since the end of July. It was good to put my place back together-at least part of it. Life rushes on. Love to all of you, Mom
