Two, and three.

We are done with finals, we are done with school this semester. For three weeks. Then Damm has summer courses. I am off for the entire summer, but I'll hopefully be working as many hours at my store as they can give me. No rest for those of us who scramble through college. I really have nothing to say today, other than announcing we're finally done. Give my brain the weekend to recuperate and then I'm sure we'll cook something up. Until then, The Orcs, who are busily devouring all the fiction-type books we couldn't read during the semester and watching lots and lots of movies.

I think I just posted it twice. Furthermore, when I look at the post it doesn't contain the entirety of my quiz answers. I'll have Damm take a look a that tomorrow:) My brain is turning off.

We've just been bulldozed with homework. Damm's ordeal began last week, mine began tonight as I received new assignments (online classes are fun that way) and realized last week was too easy. I should'v seen it coming. Why are we doing this again? Oh, right, better life for our kids and increased mental acuity. Anyway, one of our latest quizzes for my Teaching History class was interesting. We have to answer all five questions beforehand because he gives two minutes to copy and paste your answer to the single question he asks. I spent two hours working on my answers and then less than a minute completing the quiz. Felt wrong, somehow. All questions/answers derive from "Lies My History Teacher Told Me". If you haven't read it do so, it's worth your time and effort. Disclaimer: all questions come from my teacher, not the author of "Lies" (James Loewen) and all answers come from yours truly. All errors are mine, not Loewen's:) 1. What internal ...

Yes, I know Christmas has already passed us by. It was fun. But Damm and I weren't done with the gift-giving yet; we just had to wait for our budget to be replenished. It has, and we had a lot of fun spending some of it yesterday. (Drum roll.) We bought a treadmill! (Waiting for excited applause. Hearing crickets.) So we are very excited about this purchase. A 10 minute drive to the gym doesn't sound too bad except when two people have to do it back-to-back. And those two people have no time to spare during the school semester. Now we just have to muster the willpower to hop on the treadmill in our living room while our kids are watching t.v. Easy peasy. Other exciting Wulfaland news: I injured my ITB band. I always feel like I'm adding an unnecessary word, but I think ITB=iliotibial, so I'm justified in adding the "band" as well. I could be wrong. Anyway, I think a combination of too many hills during training and really old shoes caused the injury, and I hav...

4 years ago today I tried to keep myself from giggling as I walked down the aisle perched on my dad's arm. The church was beautiful, I was serene, and you were handsome in your suit. It was perfect. Since then we've lived in 3 different states and moved 7 times. You've held two retail jobs and one real one. I've transferred to 2 different B&N stores. We've had 2 children and you went away to Basic Training and AIT for 6 months. We've had fights and there have been times I threatened to take the keys, kids, and car and drive to my mom's house. You were welcome to join me as soon as you got your act together. I've never followed through with that threat. I'm sure there have been times you've wanted to do the same thing. It's been quite a ride these last 4 years (there is a play on words in there:). I look forward to the rest of the years that we'll get to share. Based on these past 4 years it'll be exciting. Much love and all those ...
