One final is over. I think it was okay. My finance final is Sunday. I should be studying now so I won't have to study as much tomorrow. I am in the mood to blog.

A lot has happened this week. My parents are at home, until next Sunday. Chris and Brooks and I are going to see them this weekend.

Wednesday I met with a lady about an internship/volunteer thing I will be getting credit for this fall. YAY! I am very excited, even though the work will be challenging...I have some interesting things to post about this later...

Today I had lunch with Beth...I may not have a chance to see her again before Olivia arrives...I don't think she is gonna make it until August 28th. My guess is August 16. I know that is way early, but it is a full moon. We all know what a medical expert I am.

Today after I met Beth for lunch I got in my car and I dropped my phone in my drink. I am not sure how that happened, but my phone is a little bit jacked up at the moment. I dried it immediately and the only internal part that got wet was the rolly ball, which is a very important part on a blackberry. Don't be offended if I don't return your texts or emails in a prompt manner.

Chris made reservations for our beach trip. We leave Thursday. Brooks is going with us. He is ecstatic. We all are ready for a vacation. Chris also gave Brooks a bath tonight. He always gets so hyper after a bath. Then he sleeps for about two days.

We ate a Surin after my test. I made banana pudding when we got home. It was good. Chris watched 300. It was violent. Now we are going to bed. Later.

-blah- (warning: this is a terrible post that should not even be allowed to be posted, but here it is.)

I always post on Monday mornings, but I did not feel like posting this morning so I didn't. I don't really feel like posting now, but I am tired of studying. Nothing too exciting happened over the weekend. The yard sale was not a success, sadly, but there is a consignment store in Tuscaloosa that is going to take my jeans and purses. At least my closet is organized. Yesterday after church Paul, Chris and I went to see the new Batman movie. Paul had already seen it, but we had not. It was very scary. Good, but scary. I have studied all day. I didn't even take a break to watch The Price is Right. Maybe that is why I am in a bad mood.

Update on Brooks: He can now get out of the crate before I can get to the front door to leave. I still put him in the crate when I leave to maintain routinization. He stares out the window as I drive away. Sigh. He doesn't know why we still use the crate because he knows he has outsmarted us, and I am not sure why we use the crate either. He has not damaged anything, so it doesn't really matter.

My mom received some much-needed good news. Her port was replaced today so they can begin the stem cell harvest tomorrow. It will take at least two days, but hopefully no more than that. Then they can come home for a few days before beginning the second round of treatment. Praise God that everything is on schedule!

My pregnant friend Beth (I will only be able to call her that for a little bit longer) went to the doctor today, and Baby Olivia seems to be doing great and she will be making her big debut in about four weeks! How exciting!!!

I probably won't post again for a while because of my tests, and Sunday is our two year anniversary. I don't have anything planned, so I must work on that sometime this week in between school stuff. Last year I made Chris a video from movie maker. I scanned all of our old pictures from high school and made movie of "Chris & Amanda." It was very nice. I am not sure if I will be able to top that. I also got Chris a really cool watch. Hmmm.

My To-Do List

• Laundry
• Flash Cards
• Quizzes
• Go to the bank
• Post Office
• Yard Sale Stuff
• Make reservations for the beach

My vertigo is better. I still get dizzy when I stand up fast or bend over, but I am much better.

I have to finish pricing stuff for the yard sale. I decided to wait until Chris left because he overprices everything. After work he is going on a fishing trip so he will miss out on all of the yard sale festivities, but he did help me set some stuff out last night.

I have made so many flash cards this week, and I don't even think flash cards help. I made a B on my marketing test that I took a few weeks ago. YAY! I am going to try to get caught up on some quizzes tonight. Nine more days of online classes! Then a beach trip!

My parents and I talked a few days ago, and we decided that I am going to take classes at UAB this fall and graduate in December. My mom wants my dad to stay with her while she completes her treatments. I will visit them on weekends and when I get breaks from class. Her body is responding really well to the treatments. We are thankful for that. The goal is for her to be in remission by Christmas.

I am going to meet with a lady in Tuscaloosa next week about volunteering. I will get school credit for it, and it is in a field that I am interested in perusing. I am very excited. More to come on that later...

Enough procrastination. I am going to start working on my to-do list now.
