Aw, good luck, Shelly. I'm afraid I wouldn't be any help in a marketing course - that was never an interest of mine, so I never read anything on the subject. I leaarned that I did much better on things I liked and found the studying fascinating - stuff like abnormal psych and dream interpretation. Now I just read a book for 50 pages and if I'm not hooked, I put it down and find something else.
What have I been doing? Well, there's a drama unfolding in my house with my youngest son and his trip to Australia (April to December) and his girlfriend with the broken leg, and if he'll go without her, etc. Then, middle son loaded his Aussie girl on a plane at 7 this morning after a year of being with her - she's going back to Australia for good, hated Canada and the cold weather and the fact that people here work all the time and tend not to hang out in pubs much. She's a great gal, just not the one for my globe-trotting intellectual. My eldest guy got home last night from a trip to Iowa City (work related) and almost didn't get across the border because his American passporrt was expired and he was travelling with his Canadian one. They eventually let him into the US when it came out that he was born in California. His wife was battling an infestation of mice the day after he left, always a pleasure. And I just sort of hold down the fort.
I got the car washed, visited my parents, went groccery shopping, programmed the dvr so my husband could watch American Idol (which I can barely stand any more, but sit there reading and watch my shows another time), made dinner, folded clothes, tidied up the dining room after a little dinner party Monday night, took the dogs out, and checked in here. It's almost time to turn on the TV to watch Y&R, so I'd better get organised, empty the dishwasher and pull out some clean sheets for the sofa-bed for when the broken-leg g/f arrives tonight.
oy kae, sounds like you have been a busy bee...and yet you still manage to do the LP for at least Y&R. thats commitment right there. The test wasnt too bad, at least thats what I am thinking now...Hopefully my teacher agrees with me
LOL, work was always easier for me than being a mom - even now that the guys are all grown up (alledgedly). It's a full time job being the gyroscope and trying to keep everybody on an even keel when life keeps throwing curves at us.
Coming here is like taking a mini holiday in the middle of a day, talking to you guys here's a treat. I want to make sure our little community stays alive and active. Nowhere else is there a small group of such nice people, and to think we all came here as refugees from that "other place" that has now gone completely rancid.
I should be doing something a little more productive right now, I'm sure. But I've earned my leisure, so I'll take it any way I choose.
