I know I'm a DORK

Ok everyone probably is going to think I'm nuts. But my car hit 100,000 miles today as I was driving to work. So I had to take a picture of it. I know it's crazy but I had to post a picture of it.

Another A++

Well this past weekend I was working on my 2 final projects for my classes. I submitted both of them yesterday and I got a grade for one of them already. For my Communications 150 Class I got a 250/250 on my final project and ended the class with a 99.4%. I was so excited when I saw my grade. Especially since this final project I didn't put the effort that I should have but I still got full credit for it. Now I'm just waiting for my grade for my Critical Thinking class. Hopefully it will be just as good, will see. I will post it as soon as I get my grade back.

Mother's Day / Birthday

So for lunch today we went to Red Robin, food was delicious. Brandon and I took a picture outside. After that we went shopping, to find me a bluetooth headset. We went to Best Buy and then to Frys. I got the perfect one at Frys. It's silver and lights up purple, it even came with a cute pouch and charging docking station. It was definetly worth the wait to find the right one. My parents invited us for dinner at there house, my dad bbq'd steaks and corn. It was delicious like always. My mom bought me a lemon cake which was good too. This was another good birthday and Mother's Day, I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow. ha ha

Birthday / Mother's Day

This year my Birthday lands on Mother's Day. On Friday Greg's mom and Don had flowers delivered to our house. There so pretty and smell nice too. See pics below. Saturday my parents took us to Red Lobster for dinner, it was delicious. I got so much food we had to take some home. My parents and Brandon got me this pretty purple shirt and a Kitchen Aid Mixer (see pics belows). I never thought that I would get one of these, I can't wait to start using it. I seen Joyce use hers and it is so much easier then using a hand mixer. Yesterday before dinner Greg said that he wanted to take me somewhere to go walking. I didn't know where he was taking me until we got off the Folsom Blvd Exit. We were going to the Folsom Outlets, it's been a long time since I've been there. He let me pick out some stuff which was cool. I got 2 pink shirts and 2 pairs of flip flops. I was just complaining that morning that I needed new flip flops so it was perfect. This morning Greg gave me the 90210 - 4th Season to add to my collection I only have 6 more to go to complete the collection. Hope every mom has a great Mother's Day!

Spring Break

Spring break Brandon and I went to San Jose for 7 days. We got back this past Friday. We both had a great time down there. Brandon got to do several things while we were there. He went to Santa Cruz and went on a few rides, played games in the arcade and the dime toss game with his cousins Rich and Ron. He won 3 glasses, so that was cool we added them to our cup collection. One day he went fishing near Santa Cruz with Uncle Bob, they only caught one fish but they had a great time and talked. Twice he went to Nickel City with Rich and Ron, Brandon loves that place. It's full of arcade games that you can play for a nickel. Ron took him to see "Fast and the Furious", Brandon liked that movie. He also went to the flea market with Rich on Sunday to find things for there experiment. They are both so similar in what they like and thinking about. It's weird, I always tell Brandon that he is just like Rich when he does certain things.

I on the other hand had a great time getting to know Emi and Naomi. They are both the most adorable girls and have the greatest personalities. I didn't succeed my goals while I was there, I was hoping to get Emi potty trained and Naomi to drink from a bottle. But I was unsuccessful on both, sorry Joyce. I can't believe how many times Joyce and I went to Target. We went to 3 different Targets on 3 seperate days. Thanks Joyce for taking me around with you in San Jose, I had a great time. I liked going to Emi's school and watching her hunt for Easter Eggs, she had a great time. My aunt and I took Emi to the Children's Mueseum and she enjoyed going there. It was hard to get her to leave, there is so much interactive things for her to do there. The only thing that sucked while I was down there was I got sick. I'm still dealing with this annoying cough. I'm hoping it goes away soon, it's hard for me to sleep through the night. I'm surviving on cough syrup and cough drops all day.

Another thing that we had a great time doing was playing American Idol, that was hilarious at times. Rich, Joyce, Brandon and I played 3 nights in a row. Next time we go down there I need to get American Idol II so we have more songs to sing. Rich was hilarious to watch, he gets all into the singing. Below are some pics from this past week.

Grades

So I just got my grades for my 1st two classes. I got a 99.6% in both my Communication 140 and General Skills 105 class. I'm so excited. It has been years since I've been back to school and to get high A's in both classes is a huge boost for me to keep going. My 2nd two classes are a little more difficult but I have the motivation to keep geting A's and succeeding in this degree. I will keep posting my other grades as I finish my classes.

Finished with 1st 2 classes

Hi,

Well it's been a long time since I've posted. Going back to school has definetly kept me busy. Well today I just finished my 1st 2 classes. I can't wait to find out my final grade. So far I have a 100% in one class and 99.85% in the other. I'm hoping that my final projects that I turned in today I will get a high grade for. I start my next 2 classes tomorrow. I already started doing some assignments for my next classes. Since spring break week I will be in San Jose for the week and I'm not sure how much time I will have to do school work. So this week is going to be pretty busy for me seeing that I want to finish 2 weeks of assignments in one week. I will be posting my grades in the next post.
