I did it! Now on to the next unit....

I did it!!! after contacting my instructor, who gave me the sage advice to "slow down"???? I contacted the tutor source at Devry and someone named Depak (not sure if it was a person or a computer) helped me figure out enough of what I was doing wrong to pass my quiz, and then my test.  I have one more unit to complete in 2 weeks, followed by the final.  It's going to take a big push to get it done, but it will feel so great when I do.  I asked for a low census the last couple days at work, and the time has really helped.  I actually spent yesterday catching up on my economics class and I was able to turn in my final assignment this morning.  Now pretty much all I have in that class is the final, only 1/3 of the grade:( 

  Day before yesterday Bob and I were able to go to my dads for a BBQ-it was a nice dinner, and the left overs were just as great the next night.  Thanks dad!  I tried to make a pot roast yesterday in the crock pot, but apparently I didn't put it in early enough, because it was no where near ready when it was time to eat, hence the left overs.  I left it in the crock pot over night and it is now awesomely tender and ready for lunch, yum. 

I have added walks to the days when I don't run, to try and increase my endurance, and to help keep my stress level and weight under control.  Something about a nice walk outside, even in nasty weather that clears my brain.  I teach this sunday, so I need my brain nice and clear:)

Kellie and Mark are coming up this weekend...YEAH!!!!  I am looking forward to seeing them, which is another reason I wanted to get my schoolwork done so badly, so I could spend time with them while they are here and not have to be at the computer all day.

I'm off to Shopko to check out their curtains, they have a great sale, and the ones we have are pretty old and getting tattered, dirty and faded, especially against the new paint in some of the rooms.  I will of course have to modify them because we have old extra long windows that they don't sell curtains for anymore....oh yea, and I better pick up the stuff for Super Saturday while I am out....lots to do....ttyl
