these are just creepy

i think i would stay in the house if i saw these clouds outside.



Thats just begging for a black hole to open up in the sky

garden party

today we had family day..
it was so nice to be able to enjoy the day.. and have no tests or papers to worry about..

deborah aka tinkerbell
 

family poker game
 

our friend chris is home on leave - it was great of him and his lovely wife julia to take some time out of his two weeks of leave and spend it with us.. it's always great hangning out with you chris - we wish you luck and saftey over the next 8 or so months - and we can't wait for you to come home to us - when we can have a real party (i hear you make awesome jello shots)
 

today i called my sister.. and as she does sometimes.. she let deborah answer her phone.. which i love..
and..
debroah says, 'hi'
and i say, 'hi, whose this?'
deborah says 'it's deborah who is this'
i say 'hmmm.. who is your most favorite person in the whole world?'
deborah says, 'kai.. oh it's kai.. oh i just love you kai'..
seriously.. i know i have done well conditioning my kids to answer 'kai' to questions such as, 'who is your favorite' and 'who is the best'.. but.. i just love it when they do.. and when i can hear them jumping up and down cause i'm on the phone.. it makes my heart happy..

the summer sun knows me by name

i have been out of school for four days.. and all four days the sun has refused to come out and play.. it has been chilly, overcast, and ugly outside since tuesday... is it too much to ask to be done with finals, and sitting poolside on a nice sunny day?

my only friend, the end

all done..
as of 0940 this morning...
and as it turns out... i rocked that final.. nothing to worry about..

go time..

i have been up till midnight the last couple nights - studying mostly non stop... and now.. one more day - tomorrow is all i have to get all this info down.. and i feel like it's not enough... this is a big test and i'm a little freaked right now..

the illusive lego crab..

just a picture from heath and rhianons site - that cracked me up

three down..

...one to go -
three finals are done..
one more next tuesday..
five more days of studying.. and then i'm free for the summer..
five more days till freedom..

reinforcements...

just went to the store to stock up on study food - got me some dr. pepper, peanut butter m&m's, english muffins, apples, and big stick popsicles (a necessary alteration to the food supplies with the extreme heat) - and tomorrow i'll be sitting by aunt tamies pool (the coolest aunt ever) - and studying my little heart out.. so be sure to be sending me your happy thoughts tomorrow - i could use all the help i can get..

the offical countdown begins..

turned in my rec 404 final today, and had my last lecture -
now - just a final on thursday and another final on tuesday - and i am free for the summer... i cannot wait..

On the irony...

its like rain on your wedding day....

or its like breaking down in your brand new car that you bought because you were afraid that your old car was going to break down on you and leave you stranded on the road

yep, that was our adventure today. Stuck on the freeway. out in the heat. In the worst place on the freeway with no exits for miles.

good times.

bring it on..

clinicals are over! (for this semester).. i have literally one more day of lectures - and then finals.. so close..

I really want need one of these

yes i know i'm a nerd, but how cool is that?
