Hey folks,
Some of you know this already, but for those of you who don't, I don't plan to return to FC. The short version of why is because I decided that it didn't make sense to get an AA, which wouldn't help me get a particular job, if there was something else I wanted to do that would. That something else is dental assisting, which will be much cheaper than FC, and I'll get my certificate for that within a matter of months. I'm planning to go to school for that in the Chicago area so I can actually see Josh on occasion. :) I hope no one feels slighted for not hearing about this earlier, because the decision has just been made in the past week or so, and things have been really nutty around here, so I haven't had time or energy to do much by way of communication.
I'll really miss all you folks down at FC, so please keep in touch, whether on here, Facebook, or e-mail me. (supremebookworm @together.net) Lord willing I'll be down for lectures.
Hi! I think that I may have met you a few years ago when you were in Chicago on your way back from camp at Abby's apartment. I think that you might have been with Susan. Just curious where you were going to be going to school at?
AH! man, now i dont feel so bad about not coming back. you know what i miss that i never thought i would? those rides in jim's truck on the way to and from services when we sat awkwardly in the back because they were being gross. remember the wreck?! someone rear-ended ME yesterday! it made me think of you guys. i miss and love you!!
So here's the thing...I was looking online at Ingrid Michaelson concert tickets...and they are totally affordable, like $15, but there is nowhere near Tampa. I thought I'd share this great sadness with someone who understands. Jim just said, "Who?". Yeah. :-P I hope your break is going well. Love you, roommate!
By the way my perfect woman, as much as I love commenting on the post with your ring, it may be time to add a new post. Just a thought from the one who loves you!
its where i take andes mint chocolate, and tape them to days on my calendar, and eat one everyday until its time to go home. my mom used to do stuff like that for countdown until christmas, and it always made it fun.
Well, I guess it's time for another post. I hope everyone's holidays went well. I've been working at TJMaxx for most of my break, so I've been kind of busy, but it's not been as frenetic as it is at school. I've had time to bake some cookies and take walks in the snow while I've been home, which is rather lovely. :)
Christmas here was nice: We found a pine tree in the backyard to cut down and bring in to decorate. It ended up being a bit of a Charlie Brown Christmas tree, but that's kind of traditional. I got a coffee maker for Christmas, which makes me really happy. :) I also got a Taste of Home cookbook (yay!), a Vermont calendar, clothes, and other nice stuff. What did everyone else get for Christmas?
I've done a little reflecting on this past year, and while I won't take the time to post about my entire year, I do think that I've grown and changed quite a bit since last year. Last year doesn't seem that long ago until I look back on all that things that have happened since then, although I know there's a lot of things that I could and should have done that I didn't. I guess that's what the new year is for.
See all you FCers next week. Happy New Year, everyone!

OK, I had to share this with you all. This is from Dr. Dickey's explanation of his marking notations when grading papers:
"Remember that punctuation marks serve a purpose; clarifying the meaning. They are not to be
sprinkled willy nilly throughout the text like paprika."
Well, I thought it was funny.
