Four Day Work Weeks

It sure is nice having holidays off but I despise four day work weeks! It seems that everyone around me is in a panic to get all their work shoved into four days....hello....how much work did you honestly have on a Monday????? That much to stress you out! You knew the holiday was coming - it does every frickin year!! Next time, prepare for it!! Geepers....just RELAX!

Ok....I feel better now.....just had a rough day. HA HA!

Which brings me to my next thought....why don't companies have four 10 hour day work weeks?? If I owned my own company, that is how it would be. But then again, if I owned my own company, I would work whatever hours I wanted. It just seems with a four 10 hour day work week, it would give us so much more time to do the things we love on the weekend....laundry, scrubbing toilets, waxing the car.....

Hmmmm.....just some random thoughts as I have called this blogging thing.....

Graduation Gear

The cap, gown, tassel, and all the other gear arrived today! Reality is starting to set in....not exactly the reality that I will be graduating very soon, but the reality of the student loans that loom in the darkness waiting to be paid! And all I have to say about that is CRAP!! And CONSOLIDATION! :)

Bummin.....

I'm bummed out tonight....tomorrow night, in Las Vegas, Bon Jovi will be performing a one night concert for Tiger Jam at Mandalay Bay. Wonder why I won't be there? Tickets were 300.00+! And that was nose bleed seats....yes, I would normally fork out the money, but I couldn't justify it with the amount of debt I already have. Then, tonight, I find out that Chris Daughtry is opening for Bon Jovi! OMG - I love Chris and his band!!! Since the days of American Idol. I just knew I should have bought the damned tickets....oh well.

On another note, graduation is around the corner. I am trying to decide how to celebrate...lunch at Claim Jumper with family and friends before the ceremony....get together at my house with snacks and finger foods.....drinks after the ceremony (well this will probably happen anyhow :)....I just don't know. Ideas anyone?

I'm off to bed....night all!

Graduation

Wow! I just finished ordering my graduation announcements for college! OMG! Reality is really starting to sink in a little. Four years ago, I made this crazy decision to go back to college for my associates in General Studies (which I received in May of 2005)....but then had another crazy idea...to continue after receiving my associates to get my bachelors. And here I am, almost four years later, preparing for my college graduation!

I ordered my cap and gown about a week ago, but it didn't hit me until I saw the template for the announcement with my name and degree listed. :) I'm super excited!

This ceremony will be a bit odd though....I have been completing college via the online program all four years so I "know" a ton of students through emial communication, but they are scattered all over the world and will likely not be walking in the same ceremony as I. So, when I walk in this ceremony, I will know no one and no one will know me. But the exciting thing is we are all there for the same reason and therefore, we will be supportive regardless of not knowing each other.

The announcements will be mailed out as soon as I receive them! I just realized yesterday that graduation is only 47 or so days away! Geez....time is flying!

So, I am sitting here wondering.....will I be crazy again and continue for my Masters?? I'm thinking I want to so the payments on my student loans don't kick in next year....but I absolutely need a break....so this story may continue....but not until next year!

My First "Real" Blog

Ok, so this is my first blog.....thanks to the MacMillan clan in Hillsboro Oregon who all have blogs, I decided I better join them in this thing called "blogging". To me, it is another way of keeping in touch with this side of my family with whom I love dearly and want to know more about. Reading their blogs makes me feel as if I am that much closer to them!! :) Then, I saw my Aunt Sue is blogging as well....then I knew I had to join!!

So, I hope to continue sharing my daily life as time allows.....by the looks of it, this can get addicting!
