Backpacks, blisters, and thinning hair

I start school on Monday and will be 1 day closer to the end. As long as everything goes well and I pass my classes, I will graduate in March with my Associates of Technical Science degree in Accounting. I'm glad it's almost done. It will have only taken me 5 1/2 years to complete a 2 year degree but it's been worth it. (Backpacks!)

My birthday is in just under a month. I'm actually excited to be turning 25. Why? I don't know. *chuckles*

Mr Indy has all ready let me in on what he's getting me and it's caused some chaos here! He decided to get me a 42" plasma flat panel TV. (YAY! *does a happy dance*) The chaos comes from the fact that I have had to rearrange my apartment to be able to fit a new TV stand and the TV in here (well I don't have either of them yet but I rearranged in anticipation). After moving a bunch of furniture, Mr Indy commented how he no longer had anywhere to sit his drink glass when we were sitting on the couch. I solved that problem by buying an end table that will match the TV stand we're going to buy. After 2 hours of fighting to get the stupid end table together, I received a blister in the middle of my palm (on my writing hand, by the way) and tendinitis in my wrist. *sigh* Sometimes being so handy hurts! (Blisters. Get it?)

This afternoon I decided it was time for Midget to get shaved. His mane was out of control! While we were waiting for them to get to him, I decided to pick up a book of hair styles to flip through and choose a new style for later. I've been trying to grow my hair out and thought it'd be nice to get a jump on the style I want when it's long enough. Unfortunately, later was sooner than I thought. *snort* I ended up getting in the chair before Midget. It feels so good to have the split ends gone (no more itchy neck!) and she even thinned out the back of my hair so it wouldn't be so heavy and bulky (bless her!). (Thinning hair. See where I was going with the title?) I'll post photos of our new dos when I get around to taking some decent ones and editing them. *giggle*

I should probably go get our stuff ready for tomorrow. We have to be out the door early for some appointments in Seattle. Midget's been on his diet for nearly a month now so we have to go in for a check up. I hope the doc decides to decrease his meds and the dietitian decides to alter his diet so he can eat baby foods again (through his tube of course). It's going to be our first long trip with Alice (well since we drove her home). I'm excited to see how it all goes. I'm sure she'll be fabulous like she is! I'll try to update tomorrow night if I'm awake enough.
