new bloggers
We got AJ to start his own blog. I told Angie, Mandie, and Laura that we should start charging referral fees. ^_^;;; When I find out AJ's blog address, I'll add a link.

I moved the cars this morning. The plow guys were back and we need to move the cars or they won't do the driveways and parking spots. I have a clear spot now! *_* Yay!

me? i'm not stressing, not one bit!
Mom went to Nana's again today. She was supposed to get her hair done, but Nana called last night to ask if someone could take her to the doctor. Mom thinks Nana was under the impression that Auntie Lyn's sick-at-home time was going to be spent driving her everywhere. Not only that, but she made the appointment at 9 am and didn't ask if that was okay for anyone to take her to it. So, Mom had to change her schedule and get up at 7:30 this morning to go get her and take her over. And Nana wanted to know why Auntie Lyn didn't sound happy to be coming home from the hospital. None of us could tell her, since, according to Nana, Nana does no wrong. O.O;;;

Grandma (my dad's mom) is going in at the end of the month for her hip replacement surgery. The 28th. Part of me can't help but wonder if Aunt Mary's going to have to have some sort of medical issue now to top this one. Either that, or maybe she'll just remind everyone how she's had her hips replaced like three or four times already (which was one of the reasons the doctors recommended against it the first time). {{grumbles}} I just hope I don't turn out to be a lunatic like half my family.

school daze
I got my interview back the other night. I got a 20 out of 20 on it. ^_^ YAY! Also, I got my first math test back. I originally got a 96, but Dr C gave us all our tests back just so we could go over them and figure out what we did wrong. As a result, he gave me a 100 and made me a team leader. Then, he broke us up into teams to go over the test with each other. Geeze, I feel like such a nerd. I'm scaring myself now.

I also have to work on my Career Development Portfolio and my group presentation for CLCD. Mark and I still haven't even picked a topic. We were trying to figure out what we wanted to do. We have to be up there for 15 minutes. I don't even know exactly what she wants. It sounds like she wants us to present a problem you might find in the workplace, in school, or at home, and then offer a possible solution to the problem. How the heck do you turn that into 15 minutes of presentation? O.O;; I'm so totally lost with this. Presentations are not my strong point.

to do list
Plus, I have still have to empty/reload the dishwasher, do my laundry, run the towels through the laundry, vaccuum, and clean my room so I can get the new bed in there. Well, sort of new. Auntie Lyn gave me her old one because she thought the matress was too firm. Now, I'll have a bigger bed, and one that isn't broken. Then, I need to get myself a desk and get Nana a new headboard. She said I could have her old one because it's the kind that has shelves on it. I need shelves. I have no storage space in my room. Just a closet and two dinky drawers on my icky desk. The desk is really too small to do anything more than just writing. I can't use my full size sketch pad on it for drawing, and there's no way it's going to fit my computer monitor. I can't afford a new flat screen one. Plus, I just need more space to put things, like my CDs and stuff.

Then, I can get my little entertainment center where I can put my TV, stereo, and SNES. Eventually, I want a VCR or a DVD player, but I was thinking of possibly upgrading my computer to include a DVD-ROM in the future and just get myself a VCR for the time being. I can probably get a DVD-ROM from someone for real cheap and beg my parents for a VCR. Dad hooked the PS2 up in the living room and then networked it after he bought the network adapter for it. Now, it's really stuck there until I get my computer upstairs. Once I do that, then I can bug Dad to help me run a network cable down to the router in the basement.
