Hey everyone, I just wanted to let you know I have a new phone number, so if you want it let me know.

Another day, another change in plans

at 08/15/08 12:52AM

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.

I hope to see you while you are in the Chicago area. Best of luck.

I hope everything works out like you want it to, and that your life won't be too crazy for too long! I'll try to call you soon.

by ineptspy at 08/17/08 7:18PM
I hope you do make it down for lectures that would be a lot of fun. I LOVE Chicago. I hope you enjoy your time there.

The final post of '07

at 12/31/07 11:06PM

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.

:-) Happy new year, Rachel! See you next week, Lord willing.

by dare2dv8 at 01/02/08 11:35PM

by highwayman at 01/04/08 4:20PM
lol! Oh Dr. D!

by snoopy at 01/08/08 8:39PM
Yeah, that's kind of what I thought too. :)

by curlie at 01/08/08 9:30PM
it was funny but you should have put it in a new post!

by kattath at 01/09/08 1:21PM
I finally came to see the ticker! It is so cool! I love you so much! See you soon!

by brownie at 01/20/08 12:10PM
Facebook's OK so far, but I like pleonast better... just in case you were wondering. :)

by matthew_and_brooke at 01/21/08 7:08PM
Two baby racoons. At the same time. With Jen in the car. Crying. It was ugly.
