For those who only know what’s going on in my life through my blog, I just wanted to let you know that I passed my final! I got a 78%…which is pretty great. I talked to my advisor who said the 54% passing score on the test was equivalent to a B…so I did great. […]
I am done with the semester….at least 99% done for now. I can breathe again. My evenings will be much more free for the next month. Unfortunately, I also think I just bombed the final. After 4 months of studying, analyzing, memorizing, preparing and praying…I thought that I was justified in walking confidently into the […]
Yesterday I looked on the Trader Joe’s website and found out that there are a couple TJ’s in the Detroit metro area. Could moving there really be that bad if I can get my Pirate Booty, smart water, organic sliced mushrooms and Promax bars??? I am still feeling undecided about my future plans. I’m not […]

Today is Rosie’s 7th birthday. My darling, sweet daughter is 7. Lucky number 7. In some ways, when she came into my life…I didn’t feel ready. I was young; I hadn’t been married as long as I felt necessary before bringing a child into the family equation. I wasn’t sure if I was “grown up” […]
One caramel Nips candy that I broke my tooth on: about 3 centsRoot canal and gold crown to repair molar #16: $965Knowing that I’m supporting the career of a local dentist? Priceless. Barf! Even with dental insurance, I will have to pay almost $1000 for one tooth. And that doesn’t include the 4 other crowns […]
I got in from St. George about two hours ago…what a long, hot drive that was! There was massive Vegas/holiday traffic that I hit around Stateline, and in all the normally 5-hour trip was 8-hours. The temperature got up to 120 in the desert, which was no fun at all. But my car did fine, […]
