Its cold outside!!

The news said it was 17 degrees out this morning. I would say it was more like 12 out where I live. Didn't see any black ice on the way in thank goodness. Did get some bad news from the house, the water stopped running. So that means the well is frozen. Hopefully does not crack the well head. Not a very good two days after birthday problem.

A formula to live by...

Today is your birthday!!!!

Today is my birthday!!! I can't believe that I am actually turning 40! I don't feel that old so that goes to show that age is only a number. Have been celebrating since yesterday when my co-workers surprised me with a veggie tray (my request) and a small cake. Tonight on my actual birthday Mike is taking me to dinner. Then on Thursday Mike is taking me to the Hurricanes hockey game. Then on Friday I will be having dinner with my mom at Cracker Barrel.

After last nights game I sure hope the Canes do better at home. I will have to find my lucky hat to wear to see if I can change their mojo. It is a cool jesters hat I got on my first trip to New Orleans. I wore it while watching games at home and the Canes and the Ducks both won the Stanley Cup in the finals. Come on magic hat!!!

I am a college student again!!!

I have gone back to college to get my Optician's License. I will be able to dispense glasses and contacts when I am done. Hopefully with already having a BA degree I can take some of the completion time off with course work I have already done. The classes are so cool!! They are done online and once the labs start, I will go in one day a month to learn something new and show what I have been working on the previous month. This semester is a math class and an anatomy of the eye course.
