the annie blog

I have been remiss in my blogging as of late. It’s crazy busy here. Lots going on. Let’s see…I am getting the dining room in order. I will be visiting my mother next week, so hopefully while we go on shopping sprees I’ll find stuff to finish it off.

My online class is good. I was finally able to log on. They gave me a user name that was already in use. So, they had to assign a new one to me, blah, blah, blah. I have actually spent a lot of time on it. I am trying to work ahead since I’ll be on out of town next week. I won’t have as much time to work on it obviously. I would rather visit my mom than do homework anyway. I am learning a lot about the online program in which I teach. Some of the functions I have kind of blown off thinking they were a little gay, but now I see how they can be of use. I will have to get to work on my fall class an include all these new functions. Just in time too!

My laptop has been acting up. Mark has spent time working on it, but it’s not perfect. So, I’m not online like I usually am. The PC is basically Mark’s and the laptop is what I prefer to use. I like sitting cross legged in my chair with it on my lap. I can actually work very comfortably that way.

So, what else – oh, Mark’s dad is pretty sick. He’s always had heart problems, but things aren’t looking real good right now. His dad is a very stubborn man, so hopefully he’ll fight his way out of this. Mark’s been on the phone with family and everything talking about what to do. His dad lives in Ohio, and everyone else is in Milwaukee – only Mark is out of the Wisconsin. So, there’s really no one to help him. Hopefully they’ll convince him to get his butt back to Milwaukee where he can have family around. That would be the best solution. But, like I said, he’s stubborn.

I have been packing for my trip to KC to see my mom. I leave Sunday. She has major decorating stuff for me to do. She needs something for this wall in her kitchen, she needs something for the wall in the guest bathroom. She needs a window treatment for the guest room. And she wants to do something with her downstairs half bath. She moved in a little over a year ago and hasn’t really don’t anything. So, we’ll get stuff for the walls and towels and all that stuff. I like decorating, so it’ll be fun. Plus, I’m gonna look for stuff for my dining room while we’re out and about.

I have been heachache queen lately. I’m pumped up on migraine medicine. I don’t know what gives, but sometimes it just happens that way. I’m doing ok. The trick is to get it at first, then you aren’t in pain for very long.

Ok, that’s about it for now. I think I may be a sporadic blogger for the next week or so. I’ll try and keep up though.
