"Well then I'll paint one pink, Happy Birthday!"

I was super excited today cause I finally figured out what to get the boyfriend for his birthday.

Something big that he'll actually like.

He spent the night trying to figure out what it was.

This was after he told me he wasn't going to tell me what he got me for mine.

Apparently only he is allowed to keep gifts a secret. Funny how that works. He said he'd give me hints but I didn't want them.

Somehow the conversation then turned to motorcars and I said something about him giving me a pink one for my birthday, then immediately took it back cause can you imagine riding around in one of those painted pink?

No, never.

Doesn't matter, he can guess all he wants, he won't get it.

At least I hope not.

Not that it would ruin the gift, but I want it to be a surprise. I'm actually quite proud of this one.

And speaking of gifts, it was his mom's birthday so I went out to eat with his family in celebration.

They put a sombrero on her head and whipped cream on her face - fear the wrath.

Afterwards we stopped by Second Sister's place to pick up the popcorn her bought from my nephew for a fundraiser.

We were told that one day we will have kids - that's still up for debate - but apparently one day our supposed kids are going to do fundraisers of their own and we'll make my siblings buy stuff from them so that meant buying popcorn and magazines from their kids. Which reminds me I should check on that subscription - I got him a train magazine subscription for Xmas too...

Before all that was work. 8 hours of sheer joy and happiness.

Not really but it wasn't bad.

I'm just glad to be done for the weekend. Stoked I get to watch the game tomorrow. I'm hoping we don't get hosed. Go Huskers.

And I have to write a paper.

Only 3 more assignments left for Youth Services, 3 more days left of practicum, and 1 more monthly report and then I'll be done with homework, ETERNALLY!

Huzzah!

Hooray!

and other various celebration noises!

Master's is enough, really the only purpose in getting a doctorate in this specific degree is to teach.

And I've already dropped out of an ed program in college so I'll pass on that.

Alright, I'm off. Music and I'm out.

Rock, Chalk, SilverHawk

Went to watch Squirt play some volleyball tonight with my sisters.

She dominated, got some killer spikes and all that. Would have made Juwanna proud.

That was pretty much the highlight of the day, jamming with the family.

Not much happened during the day aside from the TAB meeting.

Which was not my favorite of meetings.

I like the kids, they're great, but it's a little difficult to keep some of them on task.

Especially the newer, younger ones.

And it tends to annoy the older ones.

So I'm trying to be understanding, but my new motto is if the story you're raising your hand to tell us has nothing to do with the meeting at hand it can wait until later.

We mostly talked over our art project that will take place on this upcoming Tuesday. We'll be decorating our young adult area with some cool homemade posters and bookmarks and all that. I'm excited, and they seemed excited, I think.

But they're teenagers, maybe they think it's totally lame and are humoring me.

I think making bookmarks would be fun. Got lots of cardstock stuff, will get them to do their own homemade designs, then laminate and cut them out. Just create like a stockpile of them in the YA are for people to use.

But again, they're teenagers, perhaps they think doing that and painting/sketching/etc posterboard and hanging it up is lame.

Guess we'll find out on Tuesday.

It was just one of those meetings, you know?

I don't know, maybe it was an off day for me or them or whatever, it just was weird. So I let them out like 10 minutes early after touring the YA area and the basement when I showed them our stock of supplies.

So the game helped, had a lot of fun and cheered loud.

Was amused that Oldest Sister and the King of Useless Knowledge - aka my eldest brother in law - were the loudest parents there.

After the game I bought some popcorn from my nephew - woohoo for fundraisers - and came home to watch The Voice. Some cool battle rounds tonight, all of my favorites that battled survived aka Aquile, Melanie and Celica.
