Glorious Night- Part 2

Blogger World, last night was another glorious night at school. If you remember correctly, I had a glorious night earlier this week. Tuesday night, or maybe Monday night, I figured out CAPM for AT&T. Remember? It was a big deal, because I didn't really know how to do CAPM, and I ended up figuring it out. All by myself! By the way, I did do it correctly. So, no one lost their life when they told me it was wrong.

Last night I received my Finance test from last week. I made a 90. I made an A. Did you hear me? I made an A! It was a wonderful feeling. All the hard work, brain medicine, late nights at the library, Starbucks dinners, and reading paid off!!! The excitement lasted all night, and part of this morning. However, the excitement is wearing off. Mostly, because last night I took another test, and I WILL NOT, repeat WILL NOT, be making an A on that test. Nope, not even close.

Next week is the final. I apologize in advance that for the next week, you might hear more about Finance. I know this excites no one. But look at it this way, at least it's better than post about running or food, or even Jazzercise?

Folks, I'd like to close with the song that was stuck in my head last night. Please, feel free to sing along....

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Thursday Thoughts

Folks, I'd like to take a moment to talk about jeggings.

First of all, I want to point out that spell check does not even recognize the word jeggings. And I for one, am a firm believer that if spell check does not recognize a word, then we should not use the word. Except my name. Spell check does not recognize my name, but I fully believe my name is usable. My name is very normal, average if you will. It's just spelled abnormal. Hey, it's not my fault...talk to my mom.

Sorry side tracked, back to jeggings.....
I believe this is the new fashion trend. Of course, I really don't know the newest fashion trends. I try to keep up but sometimes it doesn't happen. For instance, right now I've been sporting yoga/running pants every night. Frankly, I think that is a great fashion trend, and every morning I try to figure out how I can pull it off for work. But it hasn't happened yet. Anyway, side tracked again. I do apologize this morning. My brain medicine obviously hasn't kicked in yet.
SO, I was down with the leggings trend. I'm huge fan of leggings. I wear them almost every Sunday to church. I think they are cute. In my opinion it completes a dress. However, I don't know if I can jump on board with the jeggings trend. Who is wearing jeggings? How am I suppose to wear these things? These are questions I need answered before I jump on board. I've seen signs of models wearing jeggings, but I can't pull off how they wear the fashion trend. Let's take this drop dead super model. She is wearing jeggings....Blogger World, if you are like the rest of the world. You know, the part of the society that eats food, not just celery, how are you suppose to wear the jeggings? Do I just put a big shirt over these suckers and call it good? If so, what if I get mistaken for trying to dress up as a ghost or accused of wearing a Moo-Moo, or even asked when I'm due with my 3rd child? What then? I need answers to these questions!

Shampoo Life

Blogger World, again I come to you begging for forgiveness. This hitatus I keep taking is nothing personal. As always it's not you, it's me. You have done nothing wrong.

The past few weeks I have felt like the back of a shampoo bottle- lather, rinse, repeat-except I'm work, study, repeat. Earlier today I was hating my life. Alright fine, that is a bit of an exaggeration. I have a good life, and I know my life is good. I was just a bit worn out from this shampoo life. Anyway, today something happened that changed the way I was feeling.

Tonight, with my own brain, I was able to figure out the Capital Asset Pricing Model for AT&T Inc. This is huge for me! Do you know why this is huge for me? Well, it simply means that I have learned something in my Intermediate Finance class. I'm not stupid. This semester has not been a waste. I CAN do Finance, and I am capable of completing this Finance degree. Folks, I may not be able to spell, but dang it I can do Finance. *Insert crazy happy dance*

As you might have guessed, it was a glorious evening in the University library. Now, if you would excuse me I'm going to bed. Hopefully, tomorrow will be great too. Hopefully, I do not find out my CAPM is wrong, because Lord help the person that tells me it's wrong.

The Good and Bad of the Week

The Good: One day this week I woke up at 4:30am to go run.
The Bad: I locked myself out of my adobe, which resulted in hopping a fence, a rock, and a broken window. True Story!

The Good: This year the Christmas lights in my town look very festive.
The Bad: I've only seen them when on my way to the library.

The Good: This weekend is my work Christmas Party.
The Bad: No date.
The Good: I bought a new outfit. Well, part of a new outfit-shirt and sweater.

The Good: I discovered a new cupcake place near my office.
The Bad: I discovered a new cupcake place near my office.
I think you see how this one fits into both categories.

The Good: The weekend.
The Bad: Monday is right around the corner.

Blogger World, happy Friday!

Thanksgiving-Part III

Thanksgiving is a holiday that reminds us of our great blessings. I have many blessings and I thank God everyday for those blessings. Here is a small list of the things I am thankful for....

Work friends. Sometimes they just know what you need to get through a work day...You. Thanks for reading and commenting...
Old friends. They understand my quirkiness and still love me...
New friends. They haven't discovered my quirkiness yet...
Pumpkin Whoopie Cookies. No explanation needed.
All of my family. Land of the Hogs will always be my second home....
Especially my parents and sisters. They put up with all of my crap, and still invite me to dinner...

My health. I'm lucky to be able to run all these crazy races and Jazzercise until the moon comes up...

And...

Sister #1's dumb dog. Pepper has been a nice addition to the family, even if it requires all three sisters to care for her.

Happy Thanksgiving Blogger World!

Thanksgiving-Part II

As I posted last week, I plan to give Thanksgiving a few shout outs.

Today's post, is shout out #2.

One reason I love Thanksgiving is because I receive a four day weekend. I don't know about you, but I feel four day weekends are glorious. If I were running the world, we would have them more often...just FYI.

When I am given a four day weekend, I strive to be very productive. I clean my house, cook lots of food, run errands, workout, and iron clothes. Seriously, I only iron on four day weekends, this explains why I hardly ever iron. This year is no different. I plan to utilize my four days, in an extremely productive way....




If anyone needs me, you might start at the theaters.
