Waiting, Waiting...
It was a week ago today my teacher, Mark, called me to tell me i scored a 12.9 on the maths TABE and was eligible to write the Predictor. A week ago tomorrow i wrote it...
I went to school on Monday and Tuesday and another student was surprised to see me. "Didn't you write the predictor?" he asked me. "Yeah", i said, puzzled, "but if i didn't pass it, then i need to do more work and if i did, i still need to write the actual G.E.D. and either way, i need help with math." He laughed. He's a smart kid, and progessing a lot, but i think his motivation isn't quite the same as mine. Or at least, that is what he said, but in his own words, "i ain't in no hurry".
Neither am i, i reckon. I waited over 20 years to go down this road, so i guess a few more days won't kill me.
Now, no more procrasination. Math awaits...

I Heart Elephants
But now, i have a grey rubber braclet that proves it, that i heart elephants.
I got it at the zoo today. I am happy to know the elephants are getting a better place to live in the Buffalo Zoo. I know there are critics out there of the zoo and zoos in general. And i think if we want them to have better living conditions, we can do something about it.
The braclet is only 3 bucks. Every bit helps. Consider giving the elephants a little something to help them have a better home....

Pete, How Could You?!?!
I changed my usersound. To Everybody's Happy Nowadays by the Buzzcocks.
Yes, the very same song that is being used for an AARP advertisement. I reckon, like Iggy's Lust For Life, no one in the advertising industry realized that the lyrics are meant to be ironic? Or maybe it was just some covert old school Brit punk masquerading as an ad exec? Yeah, that must be it...

Cops & Predictors
(e:Uncutsaniflush) slept through it all. I bet he could have counted how many cops cars there were.
This morning, my phone rang when i was still in bed. I decided not to run for it. If it is important, a message would be left. And one was. My teacher called me. I got a 12.9 (the highest possible) on my last Maths TABE Test and he signed me up to write the Predictor (the sample GED type test everyone needs to pass before they will let you write the GED) "this Friday". I called him back, "uhm, do you mean tomorrow Friday or next week Friday?" Tomorrow. At 8.30 am, be there by 8.15am. Bring I.D. Eat before you arrive, the test is 4 hours long. No time to be nervous, i reckon.

Don't Read This If You Hate Cats
MyCatHatesYou dot com Under the MCHY banner, the heading "CATS" has archives of all the many many goofy cat pictures. I will admit, i giggled.
The Infinate Cat Project was interesting. 1400 cats looking at cats looking at cats. Who would have thought?
And from the Kitten War peeps, we have Cats In Sinks
And to think, this cat thing all started when i was looking for a new cat cam to replace RandyCam and found JeffCam
Happy Cating...
Well, except for those that say they hate cats... yeah, i mean you (e:Paul) ! *grin*

Is Me Being Me Enough?
In our dinning room, a place with lots of dark wood, i have a birthday gift displayed that a friend gave me recently which reminded me of something i found kind of odd.
When someone gives a gift, i realize some find it important to mention that the gift can be returned if it is not liked. But is it really important to tell the person to go look at the store to see if something might be better suited? I liked the gift i was given. I like the fact that someone picked something out for me, and even remembered that i mentioned i liked it when we were in the store back last summer. Why do i need to go to the store and see what else they have? How else can i tell someone i don't need to go to the store to take a look? Am i not being happy enough about the gift?
I would think it is an isolated situation, but something similar happened over the xmas holidays with this same friend. I was given a gift and the person giving it thought i didn't like it even though i said i did. They even took it back from me and gave me something i like less, because some how, me saying "very pretty" wasn't enough.
Is it me? Am i supposed to jump for joy? Isn't the way i react good enough? Or the right way to react?

I'm A Lucky Girl
I am married to someone who rarely makes a big fuss for me on my birthday, during xmas, or valentine's day.
Instead, every day, day in and day out, he makes a fuss about how much he loves me. He doesn't seem to need a reason to get me flowers; to write me a little note; to send me a special email. All of it just to tell me he thinks i'm swell, his bestest girl.
Sure, i could have met and married someone who would give me diamonds on my birthday and send me chocolate and flowers on valentine's day.
But i met someone better. Someone who appreciates me every day. And doesn't need a reason to tell me.
I think he's swell.
I'm a better person for knowing him.
