I Can't Think of a Title

What an interesting week. I can't believe it's Thursday already. Time needs to slow down just a little bit. Here's a taste of what we've been up to this week:

Hannah and I went to playgroup. There are usually 4-5 of us there, (although there are technically 7 of us on the playgroup roster) and this week was no exception. It was funny because Bette and Erin talked knitting most of the time and Michelle and I talked Grey's Anatomy most of the time (3 days until the new episode!). I need to learn to knit. I bought a "I taught myself how to crochet" book but I don't get it. Oh well. Maybe I'll just stick to quilt making. Anyway, I was praised for the pictures I took at Jake's birthday party. I was told that you could "tell I was a scrapbooker." What does that mean? I hate taking pictures for other people...I'm always afraid that I'm going to disappoint them. I guess I didn't this time!

I had a Crop Club Monday night...it was fun to sit and gab with the girls. We usually get very little work done but it's nice to get out of the house and have some adult conversation.

Considering going back to school. I've looked at master's programs and I just don't know if I really want to be a teacher when I grow up. Don't get me wrong, I love teaching, but none of the masters programs in education interest me. I don't want to go into administration, special ed, I thought maybe reading specialist but I don't think I want to do that either. I started looking at the second bachelor's degrees offered at SU. I've been floating the nursing idea in my mind for years. I wrote the dean and asked what I would have to do to get a degree. I had a response within 15 minutes. Their program is 18 months in length (they highly recommend that you do not have a second job while doing this), so if I were to start in the fall, I would graduate in December 2007. (imagine that, me, graduating on time!?!?) They're sending me an application packet. Mike says that if this is what I want to do, we'll find a way to make it work. I guess it can't hurt to apply and see what happens.

I found out yesterday that Harry Browne died of Lou Gherig's disease. He was only 72. What a shame. For those of you who don't know, Harry ran for President on the Libertarian Party ticket in 1996 and 2000. He was a very dynamic man. I had the pleasure of meeting him on several occasions - the one that I remember the best is at the convention in Indianapolis (I can't believe I remember anything from that convention) walking with Mike, Harry and his wife to the convention floor. Mike said last night that he remembered Harry giving him a standing ovation when Mike won Libertarian of the Year at the LPI convention years ago. For some reason, I only vaguely remember that convention. He was a great man and he will be missed.
