Catching up

Wow it has been a while since I have posted on this blog. Guess I better do some explaining and catching up.

It is Spring term WOOHOO day two and I'm on task HAHA! Last term was a struggle for me to keep up. I just was not feeling it like I normally do. I enjoyed both my classes so that was not it. I took a wilderness Lit class. It was the test class while the instructor went through the process of getting it accepted as an actual Literature class. He is very excited that he was able to get the class approved so it can now be taught at any PCC campus.

I had never taken a lit class before only writing classes. WOW I love to read but having to read specific books that are not normally in the genre you read was tough to say the least. A couple of the books were a real struggle to get all the way through. Even with the struggle of reading the teacher was so enthusiastic it still made class fun. We went on a couple nature hikes and part of our grade was based on a field report where we went out in to the wilderness and wrote about what we did. A few times we got up in the middle of class to go outside and look at the sky or birds. Never had a teacher do that before :-).

This term I'm taking a full load.  Psy 101, Introduction to Web Design, and History 102.  The history teacher is a hoot! She makes you laugh all the time and make history interesting!  I'm excited about the Web design class. I get to blend my artsy side with my love of computers and be creative. It's win win. I'm also excited I get to put those skills I learn toward my new adventure. :-)

Part of why I have been so inactive on this blog is I have started a Facebook page and a blog that is associated with the Facebook page. It's about Dave and my adventures. I call it Adventures of a 4 Wheeling Mom.  I have done a few interviews on it with more out with people. Not only do I want to share our adventures, but I want to also keep discussions about safety and trail ethics going on. If you haven't seen them check them out.
The Facebook Page can be found here

See you in cyber space! 

Have a great week

Rambling thoughts once again. What can I say it's how I think.

     It's gray and blah today. I have no motivation to do what needs to be done. So I am going to pretend I'm an insect and I'm basking in the warmth of the morning sun. AHH I feel much better now! All warm and comfortable.
     I do have some exciting news though. First time published Author Betsy Horvath has agreed to an interview on my blog. :-) I love picking the brains of authors. I always have these silly little questions pop up when I'm reading. I'm currently reading her book. I am really enjoying her protagonist, but this is not a book review site so you will have to read her book to make your own conclusions .
Right before I sat down to write this blog entry I had 20 things running through my head I wanted to touch on. and POOF! my butt hit the chair and my brain went blank.  Lets see I could touch on... No Politics is not a topic I will discuss. Hmmm I could talk about off road-ing again. No not again. OH I know School.
     I'm really enjoying school again this term. Well my writing and research classes are fun and keep me motivated. PE/health not so much. LOL I am so not a physically motivated person. I know for my own good I really need to change my life style and truly I am trying. It is just not near as fun as reading and writing. Although it is nice that the husband is taking the class with me. Makes it much harder to not do what needs to be done when he is doing it too. We can encourage each other and well the competitive edge in me can't let him get it done first LOL and his perfectionism keeps me from being too sloppy LOL
     Guess I should stop day dreaming about the sun now and get back to real life and to the chores that need to be done.

Have a great weekend!!

What do You do at a Family Reunion?

We had a family Remembrance/Reunion today for my husbands family. I drug my camera along. OK for those that know me I didn't drag anything. I took it with intent :-)

So while everyone was chatting and catching up with each other I went on a safari around the park.
