NINETY SIX on my exam!!!!! Oh, yeah! The woman at the testing center actually *hugged* me! I did the end-zone dance all the way outta there. OK, only in my head, but STILL. Whee!
**************************
And now, this:
Patrick has been wearing these 3-D glasses ever since we went to see Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs on Saturday afternoon. He wore them to school today, even. He was wearing them when he came home. I have been singing Rocket Man ever since I took this photo. And now, I give the gift of unending mental music to you. You're welcome!****************
After my exam, I went shopping for new bras. Next to bathing suits, bras are the worst thing to buy, EVER. I made the mistake of starting at Walmart, simply because I bought my last bunch 'o boulder holders there for $5 apiece a year ago (yes, they were crappy and are now dead, but for $25, I'm fine with that). Did you know that they now refuse to let you into the changing room without scanning you for shoplifting, even if you're obviously only holding a few hangers of bras? What did she think I was hiding in there, a toaster?! (well, on second thought, maybe I could have been, by ta-ta's *are* quite grand.) AND she reminded me TWICE to make sure I gave the stupid plastic number hanger back to her, so she could be sure I'd left. The changing room's a closet less than two feet from the desk she was slouched at. I had to walk by her to leave, and I really don't need a plastic number hanger at home, k'thx. That put me in a crappy mood right there, AND the bras were bad, so it was a total waste of a trip.
I finally broke down and went to Kohls, where I spent a small fortune on four push-up bras (so I don't trip on said ta-ta's). BUT, thanks to Josie, I saved a bunch of money on shoes, because we realized the other day that kid's size 5 is the same as adults' 6.5 - 7, so I bought a cute pair of sketchers mary janes for myself in the girls' dept and saved $20. HA!
I also bought a Hoover floor washer thing at Bed, Bath and Beyond. I hate mops, and Swiffers just don't deal with real cleaning (although they're good for general spills and doggie messes). I used it today, and I think I like it. At least it leaves the floors dry, which is nice considering I can never keep people/pets off the floors.

Congrats on your exam!
(Sorry for being MIA!)
ROCKET MAN!
I fear buying bras once my nursing days are over. I will need some minor scaffolding, I fear.
And I think it's gonna be a long long time....THANKS A LOT.
you are rocking the school yards--both elementary and college : ) yeah you! that pic of patrick is too funny. the hubs always says i wear rose colored glasses but i think 3d glasses would be much, much cooler.
i also tried swiffer and loved it for about a week. i fear w/ dogs/cats/hair nothing is going to work the way i think it should.
i am in dire need of bras too and keep putting off shopping for them. i hate bra shopping. HATE it.
Ooh, what Hoover floor thing?
"...burnin' out his fuse up here alone..."
man, your feet are TINY. I wish I could buy junior running shoes and junior sandals...I dig the colors and sparkles.
Yay for great grades!!
Ha! Your description of the Walmart dressing room is spot on. Yikes.
And I figured out that whole kids shoe size equivalent a while back and totally try to take advantage--my Chuck Taylors are kids for sure--and much cheaper.
At any rate, I recently wrote a post about comment etiquette--and how you can support someone and never hear back and what a bummer that is, and I realized you have supported me and I am a lame commenter back! So two things: thanks for the support--it really has meant a lot, and I am going to try to do better to support back :)
Congrats on the good grades! Make sure you put your grades on the fridge! :)
I love Rocket man!
I wonder if it's the same Hoover floor thing that I have - I'd be interested to hear how you are liking it???
