School

So I think I have somehow decided to go back to school and might have already registered for a class. I am hoping in about 3 years to have completed a Masters Degree in Accounting. Not sure if this is a good time to start school or not but here we go. I have felt for a long time that my bachelor's degree in Finance was just about the most worthless degree to have right now so I am hoping to fix that. There always seems to be a lot of good jobs available for Accounting and I hope this will give Miranda and I some more flexibility to get her home full time. I also hope that I will be able to balance work, home and school without causing too much of a disruption to our lives. Wish me luck. I don't always handle stress very well and I am striving to handle this major change in my life with patience and grace.

    Accountants are awesome. And you can do anything if it is really important to you.

    You can do it! I don't handle stress well either and I made it through. Not in accounting, I got my Master's in Reading Education. It will take discipline and probably less sleep. Good luck!

Fast goes the week

I took an internet "Fast" this week. I am a bit ADHD, OCD and whatever else is out there that means you can't pay attention very well. I limited myself to checking a few sites and anything that was work related. No Facebook, News Sites, Pleonast, Etc. I only used Wikipedia and Dealnews.com. I did pretty well. I spent a little too much free time on Wikipedia that was against the spirit of my attempt but over all pretty well. ( I also used Facebook twice to contact people but I didn't linger so I didn't count that. ) It is funny tonight though as I logged back on that all the sites I would check just don't seem that important at the moment. Hopefully this will help me get more things done.

    Hi Brian. Hope y'all are well. Miss you both.

    a little internet sabbatical is always a healthy thing, i think. and i agree, whenever i pick it back up, the sites i always visited dont seem as interesting as they did before, or i can't think of anything i want to look up. TV is kindof the same with me. i dont know what i want to watch or anything like that, so i usually just watch the weater report and then turn i tback off:p

Kanye West

I have been happily boycotting Kanye West for around 5 years now and I invite you all to join in!
  • ward
    If it weren't for his little outburst, I'd have no clue who he is. Still don't, really.

    I will never forget his speech during the Hurricane Katrina thing. The look on Mike Myers' face was priceless.

    does it count as a 'boycott' if I just don't like his music?

    I only hear about the guy when he does something crazy like this. We do not listen to him in our house though.

    I found a frog in my shoe when I went to mow the yard. Scared me real bad. I hope the rat has moved on.

Married with a small child

Listening to Joanna Newsom on my laptop in bed. Eventually Miranda will like her album. Eventually.
  • ed
    i don't know who that is....so out of touch. Australia has a pretty cool musician you may or may not like....kate miller hiedke.

    problem is....iTunes doesn't have much of her stuff...but she is very different and very cool....imho.

    I like your title. Feels kind of weird, huh? Don't worry about asking your parents about a place. We'll probably just get a room. Can't wait to see you guys!

    That's awesome that he's sleeping so well. Cora sleeps about 6 or 7 hours a night, Not too bad - especially for a breastfed baby. Still, how I miss my late saturday mornings!

    I saw your name lit up in white and couldn't figure out who was named Brian that I had on my friend's list. You need to post more often, brother! :)
