GOING TO GET SOME SAND

John is my hero!! As if you didn't already know that, but he has just scheduled us a little mid-week trip to the beach!! YES!! Sad part - I have no clue which beach we are going to, but it really doesn't matter - it's the beach. It doesn't get any better than that. I love that we aren't going to have to deal with the weekend traffic that the beach brings once the 70+ degree weather hits. That is just a bonus in every aspect.

It means no waiting an hour to get a table at a decent restaurant.

It means taking 15 minutes to drive from the highway to our hotel instead of 1hour and 15 minutes.

It means a place on the beach that is quiet enough to read, sunbathe, whatever without having to worry about the redneck 3 feet from you exposing a little too much lower back - if you know what I mean.

It means an enjoyable, relaxing, fun time will be had! He so rocks!

Is it so wrong...??

...to love the fact that you have to go to college to get away from the poopy-sick-girl-panties that your 2 year old is having?

...to want a glass of wine before noon because that is the only thing that seems to kills the taste that is in your mouth from the above said smell?

...to let said child take 5 baths a day? (She is a little OCD about being smelly after having to poopy - can't blame her lately!)

...to want to wear nose plugs while within a 20 foot radius of your child? (OK, I should just dig out the lemon oil, or peppermint ointment - but can I put a streak under my nose without being in the morgue - I am saying YES!)

...to hate (and yet love) that her abdominal x-ray shows "excessive gas"?

OK - so you can see that my life has been very negatively odoriforous (is that remotely close to the correct spelling??) as of late. Poor little girl has lost 3-4 pounds with a stomach virus over the last week. But she seems to be doing better today. So, tomorrow I will be heading to the car wash to see if they can sell me a keg of some "pretty smell" they use when they clean out my car... I AM GOING TO NEED IT!!

Student Status es Quo

Little english, a little spanish and ya' can't forget the latin!

Anyway - I am actually putting a bit of an effort back in my educational experience... I HATE GETTING A "B"!! Of course, I am also back to the subjects that bore everyone else, but my anal personality allows me complete and utter jubilation in the work assigned. I love looking like 'little miss know-it-all'!! hehehehe! No, really - I just sat through a class (accounting - part II) where I was just about the only person who actually did the homework - and was the only one who could point out all the mistakes everyone else made!!! HA!

That is the weird thing - you all know it - you love to know you are right. But how much is all this up-tight book knowledge going to get me? That is the question that remains to be answered. How well can I sell the knowledge that I am able to pull out of my arse on a moments notice when everyone else has to go look it up in a manual or book first? DOES IT MATTER?
