I knew that was going to happen

Sorry for the long delay in posting.  It’s been a six weeks or so since I last posted.  I started my final accounting course (Managerial Accounting) and it is seriously kicking my ass.  I have a suckass professor that is condescending at best.  I only have one more discussion posting and two midterms to do and then I’m done with accounting and this professor!

We also went on vacation to Disneyland and had a great time.  I love that place and would visit often if it weren’t so darn expensive.  Oh well, we got our fill this time which is good because we aren’t going back for at least two years.  One of the very coolest thing that happened on this trip is that we got to stay in the park for an hour after it closed because we won “A year of a million dream” passes.  It was the final night of the trip that my brother, his wife and two kids were joining us (we were staying two more days after they left).  It was a lot of fun to be in the park after everyone else left.  They only gave out 3,000 passes and we had heard that there were 40,000 people in the park that day.  The bummer was that we had the bright idea to ride the newish Nemo Sub ride.  Well because it is such a slow ride and lots of other people did that, we only rode that one ride.  A couple on the tram back to the parking lot said they rode Matterhorn twice, Indiana Jones and then stayed on Thunder Mountain four times in a row.  But it was a once in a lifetime opportunity and we would not have seen Nemo any other time during our trip because the lines were two hours long.  No way!

I’m bogged down with school work so there is nothing crafty to show you.  I’ll post a picture of my dd and niece in their poodle skirts that I made them for Halloween tomorrow or Saturday.  Stayed tuned…

I’m back

I closed my Knitterland blog some time ago and felt so sad everytime I had something to say or a project to show off.  I may not post here every day, but at least I will keep this place up since WordPress is free.  Knitterland was on Typepad and I really didn’t feel like spending an annual fee to keep it up.

So what have I been doing since you last heard from me?  I finished up my third quarter of school with an A+ in both classes (Accounting 1b and Access).  I’m off for the summer, but will be starting English 1A at the end of August and Managerial Accounting at the end of September.  It is a long, slow process but I can say I’m very pleased with my decision to go back to school.  I can’t believe how fast the year went, in spite of all my health issues.

Workwise – I’m really enjoying my job.  My company had some major changes and I’m now in charge of my department.  I have one direct report and I’m hoping that this is the start of something very good!

Craftwise – I just got back a quilt I finished some time ago.  I’m very happy with how it turned out.  I’ll post a snippet picture of what it looks like.  This quilter did an amazing job on it.  I could NOT be happier!

I’ve also done some sewing, lots of reading and catching up on tv.  I got sucked in to Big Brother 10.  I wasn’t going to watch, but I heard this is the last season and I have watched every other season so I felt compelled to watch.   I’m also enjoying The Mole, Burn Notice, Weeds 4 (OMG, such a good show) and of course So You Think You Can Dance.  I’m so bummed that Will was voted off last week!!!!
