Two yrs. to 50? It can't be

Yesterday was my birthday. Scary how close I am getting to "old" or at least what I once considered old. I spent about 5 hours studying for the accounting test I will be taking today. But I made time for warm brownies topped with vanilla ice cream. No wonder I’m fat. Went on a date with my thoughtful, kind, talented husband. Claudya talked all day about going to “Grandma’s birthday” but when they stopped by, she was grouchy the whole time—something about interrupted naps? Melody asked me if Alden was temperamental like that and I said, “Yes. And I think I was, too.” I’ll take the blame because I can’t imagine her mommy ever being that way J

And now I am eating buttermilk waffles with maple syrup before I go to the testing center, which always makes me feel a little like a lamb going to the slaughter. One of my professors calls it The Place Where You Can Smell Fear. Not too far off. Then I have an 8 page paper due by Sunday night for Organizational Behavior, which needs 10 sources, 5 of them non-internet. I have written one page so far. Melody is rubbing off on me ;-)

Keith is making a chicken coop. The plan is to have 5 chickens, though we bought 8 in case a couple of them die. Sam thinks it’s his jungle gym. It’s fun to have baby chicks again.

I love being married. Everything in my life is better with Keith in it. I have little to no tolerance for jerky behavior so I married the nicest guy in the world. Those of you who have known him for a long time know what I mean. Hope he can put up with me for 35 more years ;-)

Just one more month and the semester is over! Again, I apologize to everyone I may be ignoring because of school work. Sigh. I am likely going to do a master's degree, too so two more years...Please try to remember me. Especially if you are my child or grandchild.
