This year has definitely flown by so far. Hard to believe it's almost April. I've been sick for almost the past week, missing 2 days of work this week and now Dan hasn't been felling well. I hope I don't pass my "cooties" to everyone around me :( We've been watching some b-ball. I picked Duke to win in my bracket (against Kansas, nonetheless), but at least want them to win so I have bragging rights at work! :) Mom drew West Virginia in her pool, so of course our teams play each other. She might win money, though, and mine's just for bragging rights so I guess we'll see.
In other news, I painted my finger and toenails since I haven't been able to get in to get a pedicure since the lady I go to is booked up on Saturdays. I know, you needed to know that, right ;) I painted them pink, the color that came "free" (yeah, right!) with the last purse I bought. It matches one of the colors in the pattern.
Hope all is well and everyone has a good Easter week! :) Stay healthy!!

Catching up...
It's been a busy past few weeks! Dan, Todd & Ben (our neighbors) put the hardwood in, and it looks excellent. Needless to say, the remodelling bug has bit again. We are now looking at carpet for the bedroom! Too bad they don't base your tax return on what you want to spend it on :)
Spring break has come and gone and other than not taking the usual spring break trip to Florida :( nothing around here was different except not having class one night, kinda sad. That's what happens when you get old, I guess :) I did have a paper due immediately after spring break, so I got that finished over break, then will go in for an appointment on Wednesday to find out how many things he can find wrong with it. Dreading that! Oh, well. Keepin' my head up, only a few more weeks... And to feed my mean side (and make myself smile in class), I have started writing the end of the year review for the teacher. That will be interesting..hehehe. ;) Some "educational literature" for him to read, I'm sure.
Ok, it's Brandi typing again, no longer my evil twin Bambi :) I did learn that I won't be taking a summer class because the only one I can take (and my first choice for fall class) are both full. So, summer off and we'll see what happens for fall. I am going to try (hold me to this!!) to take the CPCU 540 exam for work that I have been putting off for the last 3 years because of the terrifying math involved. I want to use the summer to study, then take it either before or right when fall semester starts. How nice it would be to have that done!!
My little sister turned 18 over the weekend. I feel old :) Dan's brother and my little sis share a birthday. Kinda cool. Happy belated Bea & Dean!!
Ok- I'm out! Have a good week!

Curiosity killed the cat...
I used to think this was just a saying that people who didn't know much about cats said. After all, Sabre' (our cat growing up) and Lucky were both very smart.
Hemi (mom's cat) is smart, too. So, I never understood why someone would say that..
Until now.
Here is Lightning, who during the remods, climbed unnoticed up onto the fish tank to take a peek..
Here he is on top of the refrigerator again.. guarding the Pringles..
Here he is trying to get the Italian Beef I made fre
sh out of the
crockpot..
My little he
lper "helping" me shred papers.. and luckily not a tail..so far!!
That's what it's like in our house with our death-defying Beast.
You can take the cat out of the alley, but you can't take the alley out of the cat! ;)
