Dr. Jekyll and Mrs. Hyde
Poor M. He’s going through a rough patch right now. His wife, you see, spent her Sunday being a basket case due to fluctuating womanly hormone levels.

Finance is finished!
Finance 5000 is over! Wahoooo! We took the second half of the final last night and finished the class. Just waiting on the last homework assignment to be graded, and the take-home portion of the final to be graded (neither of which we have to do, thankfully), and we’re officially finished. Two and a half weeks off and then, oh yippee, we begin Advanced Financial Management.

Only .5 of the Final left!
M and I just spent the last 4.5+ hours working on the take-home portion of our final. It’s done and submitted, for better or worse. Now, all we have left is the 4-hour timed on-line exam, which is T/F and multiple-guess. I’m desperately hoping it doesn’t take all of the four hours, because I’m really ready to be done. As is M.

I be real smart in my graditate clas
Okay, so you all know I’m taking courses in pursuit of my MBA. And you know that I’m a grammar beyotch and get all bent out of shape when I find errors in publications and such. I’m the girl who edited her roommate’s grocery lists, remember?

The difference between M and me
Taking a break from studying tonight, I perused the local paper’s web site. Which is where I learned the news that former Cardinal centerfielder (current Cub…blech) Jim Edmonds got married at the Clayton courthouse yesterday. No big fanfare…the groom wore jeans and the bride wore what is probably a baseball-size diamond. She probably wore clothes, too, I’m guessing, but the reporter felt the need only to report that her ring is rather large.

Lessons
It’s been a crazy couple of weeks. And crazy by my standards is darn near clinically insane by anyone else’s.

Hi ho the dairy-o
Our Parents as Teachers lady told us at her last visit that we shouldn’t be telling Zoe she’s either a good girl or a bad girl, as apparently “bad girl” can become stuck in her psyche and cause irreparable damage requiring expensive counseling and therapy later in life. Since we’re going to need her to pay for our nursing home, we figure we should do what we can to help her save money, so we’ve been working really hard to explain to her how to be “good” in alternative ways.

Youthbuilder
Our esthetics trainer is training today (hence her title of esthetics trainer), so I was put on her schedule for “something.” I went in not knowing what on earth she was going to do to me.

Grumpy McGrumperson
After all the excitement of last week, this week practically feels like a downer. I go to work. I play with Zozer. I study. I eat. I sleep. Bo-ring.
