Sorry folks - long time to blog. Here I sit quite comfortably blogging in bed. Mama's got her a beautiful, shiny, new, pink Dell laptop but I am for real concentrating on school so this is something I'll definitely need. I get tired of sitting in my home office, researching this and that, preparing papers, etc.. Now I can do it anywhere. Yippee!! The only downside it's operating on Windows Vista which I don't quite care for, nor do I care for this dumb flat mouse pad thing. I'm having a pretty hard time with it. I did pick up a matching pink wireless house but I can't use it when I'm lying down. I'm also having a hard time networking my two computers so I can access this or that from my main gaming computer, but I did figure out how to hook up the wireless connection so I've got Internet access, which is all I really need right now, in combination with my flash drive.
I am for real concentrating on school, as previously typed. I'll be a full time student come January, enjoying classes such as Psychology (previously taken but dropped); English Composition (previously taken but dropped); Humanities: Prehistory to Modern Times (again, previously taken but dropped); and finally Early American History (a new class, but a blah class). If I can knock these out as I'm hoping I can, my GPA will go up and over a 3.0 and y'all know how I like to be da best.
Still 'A'cing my classes for the semester. I took my midterms a few weeks ago and got 186/200 on the management exam and 198/200 on the financial exam. Holla'! Who's a bad mutha-fucker now?! (As I walk up to the center - they sent me to a level... Sorry. Feeling a little Snoop D-O-Double G this morning.) I had two 50 point papers due this week, one management case analysis and I had to research corporate bonds(?!) this week.
Usually I wait til the last minute to do my work (the title company background in me) but I was unable to do so as my kooky mom is coming into town today. Yes, you read that right. But good golly you'll never guess what I'm doing today.
Mom was already planning a trip down here, which I was quite happy about since I've been bored for so long, but the trip has been shortened. Winona (Grandma Wilma's mom) passed a few weeks ago and they're headed down with her ashes, along with my great, gay uncle's ashes (something about gay uncles in my family) which they are going to bury with their mother (my great-great grandmother - I have no clue what her name is) at some cemetery in Riverview. Yes BURY. Is that even legal?! When Mom told me about it I totally freaked because I thought they were going to exhume the old broad's coffin and shove some urns in there, but apparently the urns are in a waterproof box and they're only going a few feet down. Lovely. And gross. I'm fortunate to be able to attend this whatever the hell it is so I can pick up Mom and get her "the hell outta there and away from those people" as quickly as possible. I have no clue where this cemetery is - all I know is Riverview. I asked G'ma Wilma where it is. Her reply, "Do you know how to get to Brandon? Get to Brandon on Hwy. 60 and head south when you hit 301. Go down there into the old(?) part of Riverview and there'll be a convenience store and the cemetery is by that. Umm, lady, there's a TON of fucking gas stations on 301 - Riverview isn't as rural as it was 25 years ago. Some bright person set this whole shindig up for 3p so I get to drive home in rush hour traffic on a Friday from BFE. Mom's coming home with me and will be staying a few nights. Wilma's going back up to Titusville to stay with her brother Uncle Buddy (wonder what side of the field he's playing on) and they should be dipping out on Sunday or Monday. On a lighter side, I'm doing my hair and makeup today, which I haven't done since JC's wedding in September (poor Jeff).
Everything is still good on the homefront. Amazing, I swear. We don't argue or anything. He is a little nervous about Mom coming into town. Who wouldn't be? I already told her she needs to be on her best behavior and not fuck with my man or we'll have problems.
I promise to be back soon. I'll get to meet all this 'family' today. Thank god I'll be wearing my black sunglasses so I can people watch what I assume to be my redneck side of the family.
Sorry for any typos. I don't feel like re-reading all this right now. It's about 10a and the fam should be hitting Tampa in 2 hours or so. I need too start whoring myself up now.
