Back when Chad and I were deciding when to get married, today was our original wedding date (April 30).  I'm so glad we moved it up.  Today was such an ICKY day…rainy and miserable all day…not exactly the kind of weather you want on your wedding day.  Plus, a 3-month engagement was hard enough…an 8-month engagement would have been torture.  It's kind of weird, though, thinking back on these last 4 1/2 months and thinking that we wouldn't have been married.  It seems like we've been married forever now…not because it's been bad or anything, but because it seems so NORMAL…like this is the way things are supposed to be, you know?  I don't think I'm making any sense, but it makes sense in my head.  LOL

We watched Batchelor today (I didn't like Renee Zellweger in this movie, though…she was a ditz in the movie, plus she's an idiot for leaving Kenny Chesney…who in their right mind…?  hehe  jk) and we watched three of the Austin Powers movies.  I actually feel dumber just for watching those movies.

We had chicken and pasta salad and acorn squash for supper.  I don't know where my mind was when I bought the acorn squash because I hate squash and Chad doesn't like it much, either…but since I bought it, we had to eat it.

Today was suppoed to be a day when I don't HAVE to do anything…So what have I been doing with my "day off"??? hehe So far, I marinated chicken, made pasta salad, baked cookies, finished washing all the laundry (still gotta fold it *blech*) and wiped up Buddy's rooms (which he has trashed because of all the mud outside). Now I've got to go make tuna salad for putting on our sandwiches this week and then I've got to hope for a break in the rain so I can walk Buddy, who is bouncing off the walls in here.  Oh, and I've still got to fold all that laundry.  *blech*

We had a pretty nice day today.  Had a potluck after services (even though we forgot there was a potluck and forgot to bring anything…ooops!) and then went to Mike's.  We watched the beginning of Saving Private Ryan just so he could show us his surround sound system.  Then we watched Brother Bear, which I like a WHOLE lot better…hehe…that's my favorite Disney movie, I think.  Then we played a video game on his playstation and I stunk at it.  Oh well.

I think I'm going to go try to tackle my math homework now….unless Chad is hungry and then I'll make something to eat first…it's called procrastinating…hehe.

It's been awhile since I posted…we're getting close to finals week and that means the teachers are piling on the homework.

Yesterday I didn't have sociology, so I didn't go to school until noon, which was nice.  Buddy played outside while I got the kitchen and laundry room cleaned.  It's amazing how much dirt and mud he drags into the house and gets all over the washer, dryer, oven and refrigerator.  I love that dog, though.  I'm definitely glad we didn't give him back to the Humane Society.  He has a way of winning hearts. 

When I got home from school, Buddy was absolutely bouncing off the walls, so we went for a loooooong walk.  Then we came home and I finished cleaning the rest of the house.

Chad was out playing paintball and I absolutely despise playing paintball, but he convinced me to come out and just watch, so I did.  Then I got cold, so I went inside and talked to Kim for awhile. 

We decided not to go out to eat with Chad's family because I made supper on Thursday night, but I was the only one who ate it because Chad wasn't feeling good, so we reheated that.

NOW I have something to write about…just finished Logic and I soooooooooooooooo don't get it.  The first half of the semester was really easy, but now we're getting into statistics and probability and i just HATE it!!!  The teacher doesn't help, either…he'll lecture for the whole 50 minutes and then we'll go and try to do the homework, but it's like looking at something we've never seen because he doesn't explain it at all…..grrrrr.  Most of the time, I'm just like, "Who in their right mind CARES what the probability is of flipping heads 3 times and tails twice?  How will I ever use this???"

 And then I found out today that before I get into nursing school, I have to take another statistics class! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! 

Anyway, there's my little venting session for the day.  Can't say I feel better, though because now I have to go muddle (is that a word?) through my stupid logic homework.  WHAT was I thinking when I signed up for that class???

Haven't posted in awhile because not much has been going on…just the same old routine…working, finishing up the semester (*ugh*) and training Buddy.

Trying desperately to think of something to write now…hehe    How can my life be so boring that I can't even think of anything to write?

Um, it's my mom's birthday today.  I think she'd get mad if I said how old she is, though….even though she isn't that old…way too young to be a mother-in-law…but that's just my opinion.  I sincerely hope I'm not a mother-in-law when I'm her age…let's just say she's still young enough to be PREGNANT…I also sincerely hope I'm not pregnant when I'm her age…hehe.  I thought that would make her feel better…hehe

Chad and his dad were supposed to stay out of town working last night.  That was going to be our first night apart since we've been married….the night before, I was beside myself and he hadn't even left yet   I invited Sabrina and Kelley over (I invited Laurie and Kim, too, but they were too good for us …hehe) and we watched movies and Sabrina was going to spend the night so I wouldn't be completely alone.  Then, at about 11:00 PM, someone knocked on the door.  We freaked out.  Sabrina's like, "Just look through the window on the front door and see who it is." and I'm like, "NO!!!!!  Then they'll know we're home!!!"  As if they wouldn't have already known we were home since we were running around shutting lights off and making a ton of noise.  I turned off all the living room lights and looked through the living room window, but I couldn't tell who it was (I could only see a shape of a person).  Finally, I called through the door, "Who is it?"  And it was Chad's voice saying, "THE BOOGEY MAN!"  I opened the door, saw him there, and then pushed him back out and shut the door on him.  I was soooooooooooo mad at him for scaring us like that (plus the fact that he'd made me believe that they were in a hotel when I talked to him on the phone, even though it sounded like he was in a car and I asked him twice).  When I let him back in, though, I was sooooooooo happy that he was home.  I would have missed him so much.  And I didn't even whack him last night (the night before, I was having a bad dream, and I felt him next to me, so I thought he was the person in my dream, so I elbowed him REALLY hard….and all he said was "ow" and then he rolled over and went back to sleep and didn't remember it in the morning….hehe)

I registered for all my classes yesterday and had no problems getting into any of them!!    That's the first time THAT'S ever happened.  It was important that it happened this semester, though, because otherwise I'll never get out of there.  I'm taking Biology, Anatomy, Psychology and Math.  The best part is that I might not even have to take Math.  I have to go up and meet with the nursing advisor at UW – Oshkosh and ask, but my advisor says she doesn't think Math is required!!    The requirements for the UW – Oshkosh College of Nursing says I only need four out of six science courses, but my advisor said I need to ask if that will be a disadvantage….like maybe someone who has all six courses will get in and I won't because I only have four…or if they ONLY look at the GPA.  If they only look at the GPA, then I can get out of UW – Fond du Lac next year…if I would be better off getting all six, I'll be here an extra year

Whenever I get out of here, I'm going to apply to UW – Oshkosh, UW – Milwaukee, and UW – Madison.  UW – Oshkosh is my first choice because it's closest, but after that, I'd rather go to Madison than Milwaukee.  I was going to go to Madison anyway if I was still planning on going to medical school.  But…plans change. 

 I found a site where you can click once a day and every time you click, you help to fund free mammograms for people who need them but can't afford them.  It doesn't cost you a thing because it's based on the number of clicks.  For every so many clicks, the sponsors fund a mammogram.

The site is:

Anyway, I've got to go take a shower now….

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let you down probably will.

You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it’s harder every time.

You’ll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.

You’ll fight with your best friend.

You’ll blame a new love for things an old one did.

You’ll cry because time is passing too fast, and you’ll eventually lose someone you love.

So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you’ve never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back.
