Thankful to be on vacation. So thankful that I actually stayed awake this morning and made my husband a lovely breakfast before he was off to work.
Made it through another week of working third shift – well this week I didn’t have as many hours as last because I had a long week-end which I squandered away. Unfortunately it has been pretty uneventful around here. I guess not uneventful but kind of ‘same ole, same ole’ if you know what I mean. Hung out at the pool with my nephews, listened to my Mom bitch, bilateral earaches, more bitching… ha
One good thing is the renovation of our home office is just about done. My husband painted and we bought some cabinets and a counter top to make one long desk with two work spaces. It is pretty cool. I figure if I ever have a baby the desk can become a changing table, hehe. I just love the color I picked out – it is a lavender and is called enchant, ooo la laaa. It is enchanting and I hope to hang a bunch of my scenic pictures on the walls in here. Next project is to paint my bathroom.
Starting today I am on vacation. My husband and I had hoped to do something exciting and/or new but it would cost too much and be too stressful to do what we really wanted to do which was to go camping in the U.P. (Upper Peninsula Michigan). We kinda planned on going up to my parents house which is not too far from Lake Michigan. My husband and I love going there but the weather is not going to be ideal so we are not sure what we want to do. May end up at my parents place but I really want to get in some beach time and if the weather is too cool or it is rainy it kind of sucks for us (thinking more of my stepson who will be on vacation with us). It is often more a relaxing time rather than an exciting time up in old Kaleva. Don’t know what to do…
So other than that I have attempted to start studying for the GRE. I received some new study materials and also intend to make use of the stuff I already have though it is geared more towards the old test. I have already learned much from the GRE website. I just have a lot of studying to do; a ton of math review because I have forgotten a lot of it from disuse. I also have to practice my writing because there is two analytical writing tasks on the test in which you only get 30 minutes per task to complete. ETS (the makers of the GRE) list all the questions on their website and I was thinking of tackling some of the questions within this blog to practice. The only bad thing is there is like 90 pages of questions between the two tasks! I am scheduled to take the test at the end of September and 3 months goes by pretty quickly. Yikes!!
So not sure how this vacation is going to go with me being kind of stressed and everything up in the air.
