First Sunburn

Alas-- I have not learned to put sunscreen on. Memorial Day I got a nice burn on arms and face.... today I now have a burn on lower back on up. My shoulders are feeling the heat right now. I bet I don't sleep too good tonight. sigh. The rest of the summer I will be better! It is my quest.
The pool is feeling wonderful. So glad I have part of Friday and Sat. off so I can enjoy it weekly.
I started class last night. My teacher is a chiropractor so he at least knows his stuff-- and he has good stories too! Since he is 40 I get his jokes! It is fun for me to think I understand them while the 18-20 year olds sit there and are confused. HA! 2nd time at college will be so much better. There are about 20 of us in the room. Kind of cramped, but o-well. He uses the book so that is great too! We will cover 17 chapters in 12 weeks. I think the Anatomy part will be okay-- the physiology part may stump me. I am a little worried about all the memorization. I was never very good at that. O-well I will stay positive and all will be well!
It was good to see Grandma and Grandpa. It is hard to see them aging so much. I worry about G'pa being alone at the trailer. I told G'ma she and G'pa will have to share a room. She said she didn't want to because they would be calling each other's names all night making sure they are okay! Cute. I really like Chris and Pam's yard. Chris put in a small pond--the fish keep it clean (he adds salt so a bottom feeder can be there.) Maybe for Dad's birthday i will get him a Lowe's card so he can get himself one for our backyard. (Get rid of the silly fountain that just has grass in it.)
Sylvan is picking up some. I sure hope we get more kids so the summer is good to us.

Kenny Part 2

Alas-- Kenny did reschedule... and it was for today. It is NOT raining, it is a beautiful day... but it is Sunday. I had already decided I wouldn't go today... and then I found out I could get my $$ back for the cancelled concert! How cool is that!!! So, I await my refund. ($$ will go to tuition)..
I have my Anatomy and Physiology book!!! I think I will start reading it this week. I will take it with me to Missouri... and I will start making vocabulary flash cards. We'll see how much I get done between now and May 28 when class starts. I just really want to do well...and think I can do better at studying now than last time I was in school.
I have been going to Coppell again. I am training new people on how to do what I do. It is a lot of fun. I am also training a lady at my center--I really like training people, hopefully this will make it easier when I need to be to school full-time.
It is pool time here. I have been getting the water checked....and I bought recliners for the pool area. (Thanks to Kaijsa I got 4)-- so we can all hang out at the pool. I am looking forward to summer....maybe not the heat, but that's okay.
Dad spent the week in Utah. I had the house to myself. Sounds so exciting, but not really. It is good to have him back.

Kenny Part 1



I have been looking forward to the Kenny Chesney Concert for some time. I knew it would likely rain, as it has hardly stopped raining for the last week. I was not disappointed-- the rain started practically the second Lady Antebellum started. Ah-well a little rain never stopped me. They were great. I really enjoyed Lady A. Miranda Lambert sang too. The young ones liked her-- not my style of country-- hardly country I say. After she was done the rain was just too much. We left and glad we did as Kenny had to stop his set,--- HE RESCHEDULED! WAHOO! I will get to hear him in 2 weeks.

Looking into becoming a ultrasound tech. The program I want to get into only has 10 people a year!!! yikes! Let's hope I can get the grades and interview well!

Moment of silence

The time has come for me to have my first cavity filled tomorrow. I am so sad! I was so close to 32 before this happened! (I just wanted to know how long I could make it).

This past weekend I went to the Arlington Singles Activity. I know I am on the "young" end for SA, but man oh man!!! I feel real young at these things!!! Needless to say I think I saw 3 guys within 10 years of me....and one I knew from college...At least I go. Good thing the speakers were really good. (And they did remind us that we are there for learning...not to get a date....hmmnnn-- why don't they have married activities? sheesh.)

So looking forward to the concert on Sat.!

grrr

I have been trying to get my transcripts sent to Navarro so I can get my acceptance and register for classes. Apparently BYU sent them, but they haven't arrived in 2 weeks! I called and discovered BYU has my ex-married name. I so don't remember changing my name! Needless to say I had to go through the hassle of changing it and resending my transcripts. After 2 years I thought I had FINALLY fixed everything! sheesh.

What's Up

Easter came and went. It was nice to have Rachel's family over for some yummy food. Got to help Kinsee find those Easter eggs. Deviled eggs are so my favorite.
The flowers around the yard are happy. Thank goodness for the rain...otherwise they would not be so happy.

I have decided to go back to school. I will start classes this summer at Navarro. I will then apply for Physical Therapy Assistant school at Tarrant Co. (In Hurst--wherever that is.... near Ft. Worth). It is an Associates Degree-- somewhat backwards I know.... I will make a little more money and hopefully have a little more stability than I have been having recently.

I have been keeping busy these past 2 weeks by going to Coppell (north Dallas) to help a Sylvan center...I at least get to charge them a lot for my knowledge. I will attempt to get a girl trained in the next few weeks so I can stop all the driving.

Other than that not much going on. A concert is coming up so that should be fun!
