3:36(+24) and all is well

So..yesterday I wrote out this long entry to let it be known that I haven't dissolved into a little puddle..and then I came very, very close to posting it on the "No End in Sight" Ripple-Along blog..Today I retrieved it and here it is..

Hear that? It's me breathing a big sigh of relief; I made it through this day..Thanks for the encouragement, I needed that. And I needed to vent a little. I think I did ok on the test, all things considered..
I told myself that after I took that test, I would go and get whatever I wanted to eat for lunch. Turns out I wanted an Oreo Blast from Sonic. Then I decided that ice cream was not lunch, so I went to Central Park and got some fries and a Dr. Pepper. Yum. Maybe not the wisest of decisions; I didn't feel too good afterwards, but it was fun to 'splurge' a little (sad day when that is considered splurging..)..

I tried to upload a picture of the turkey votive candle holder I got my mom for her birthday next Saturday. It's cuter than it sounds, and I think she'll really like it. I really like it. She wanted this pilgrim people, but they were gone! There was like, 1 little stand of Halloween/Thanksgiving stuff at Hancock Fabric, where we saw the pilgrims. It was all 50% off, which was nice, except for the fact that there was nothing left and it's a solid month til Thanksgiving. Me and my mom are all about celebrating fall and Thanksgiving. We love Christmas, but not until after Thanksgiving.

Can I just tell you something? Listening to a cd of Frank Sinatra love songs makes gluing pictures of old statues on index cards feel romantic. It does not help you memorize the dates on those index cards.
JOSH TURNER'S NEW CD CAME OUT TODAY!!!I think it goes without saying that I've already got it. It came with a dvd. (Wednesday: I have now listened to it 2 1/2 times and watched the dvd..)Looking at Josh Turner AND listening to him talk and sing? It doesn't get much better than that. I have a feeling that listening to Josh Turner is going to make registering for classes in 15 minutes a lot more pleasurable. It might make up for classes I can't get into. Sigh.
I was at Wal-mart (buying the Josh Turner cd and granola bars--see, I eat a healthy breakfast, at least) and I think I've figured out what I'm going to get all my family for Christmas. My mom wants the book that Alan Jackson's wife (Denise) wrote. My dad has read every John Grisham book, and I saw a new one today. Yay! He's always the hardest person to shop for. I may or may not get my brother and sister "The Dangerous Book for Boys" and "The Daring Book for Girls". I flipped through them today and they looked really good. I dunno..depends..

Ok, I'm gonna go register for next semester and work on my time managing so hopefully I won't have any more self-induced breakdowns. (Did I mention that I've stresed myself into a cold? Love that. Probably my recent eating habits are not helping.)
