- 13:53 So here's the new status: 2 of my classes have prerec so I can't take them, which means I'm not full time which means no health insurance. #
- 13:54 AND! FAFSA is NOT available for nondegree students so I have to pay for any classes I take this semester. Luckily there's a grant that... #
- 13:55 covers 1/2 tuition for one class for serious nondegree students which I get to have and the other class is 1/2 tuition anyways. #
- 14:05 @claudia79ad Oh b/c it's not online. They snail-mailed me the form and list of classes and then I snail-mailed it back. #
- 10:24 Just filled out a thing about taking some curling lessons. Oh yeah I'm so into this! SWEEP!! #
- 11:04 Somehow a squirrel got onto the back porch, that is a story up, has no stairs and no close trees. *slow clap* well played sir, well played #
- 11:16 Okay here I got to New Brighton and my meeting. Good times. #
- 16:58 Kitten half time show!!!! #
- 23:07 Okay I'm going to bed. But first I have to make my bed. Guh... poopie #
- 10:33 Apparently Snow-pocalyps has stuck Minnesota again. Heather is home again and I might not have class today. Good times. #
- 11:04 Heather told me if I could get her cat Mina into a Betsy-made sweater-that the cat liked-she'd give me $20. I have to go measure the cat now #
- 10:29 Finished my own pair of mittens yesterday. I am now full of gryffindor pride! #
- 10:44 twitpic.com/11wt6f - They say "Roar Roar Gryffindor!!" #
- 10:45 twitpic.com/11wt88 - Me wearing my fabulous new gloves #
- 10:45 twitpic.com/11wta3 - And the insides. #
- 10:50 @Dalevich Thank you! I haven't worn them outside yet, but we're getting snow today and tomorrow so they'll get plenty of play #
- 13:30 Heather stayed home from school- oops I mean work today and is listening to a conference call at eardrum splitting volume. Save me? #
- 13:44 Ok I'm feeling alittle bit perkier. I still have to do the outside animals before my energy fucks off again. #
- 15:56 Ha I am accepted! Booyah! Now to pick my classes. #
- 17:37 @Syfy I love the political/religious/social world building Caprica is doing so far. #Caprica #
- 17:38 @fuzzytypewriter I've been wearing jeans and knit sweaters for months now w/ a hat when it's super cold... so yes, yes I have #
- 22:44 I might not make it to White Collar tonight guys. I am getting pretty darn tired again. Getting tea and my book and bed #
- 11:19 I really like when people announce when they're going to surrender to authorities. "Look I'll be in on Friday. I wanna watch Fringe tonight" #
I have been accepted to United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities for the Spring, as a non-degree student. I get to take classes for credits that will- theoretically- apply to my Masters degree once I get THAT application in and-hopefully- accepted.
Class starts NEXT FUCKING WEEK. How the buttmonkeys did I miss that? I blame my dyslexia.
I have picked my classes just now, and because my biggest mistake at college was not taking the stupid 101 classes my first semester when I still cared I am taking as many of my Must Have To Graduate classes that I can. So I'm taking
Tues- New Testaments Text in Context at 1:30-4:45
- Approaches to the study of Religion and Theology at 6 to 9:15
Thurs- Principles in Writing and Critical Thinking 1:30 to 3 (which isn't for any credits and I couldn't find it on the Must have so I'm emailing my advisor about that. I vaguely remember someone telling me I have to or should take it!)
and on Monday for fun Film as Theological Text 6 to 9:15. (I know this wont be a sit around and watch movies class, this will be a watch movies and talk about how they shape the religious world and all that good academic shit I love so don't even start with me about taking a secretly hard class and hoping its a breeze)
I'm not revelling in the idea that two nights a week I'll be in class or on the road until 10pm, and I think tuesday's gonna suck, but no 8 am classes so that's a step up from last semester huh?
They need my tuition the first day of class and I did add the school to my FAFSA but I need to call the financial aid office tomorrow to double check. I also need to double check on my transcript and immunization froms from SDSU. Honeslty why isn't that shit online?! LIke not the transcript because I get that naughty kids would so totally change their grades if they could get their hands on them, but the med stuff. I should be able to go online and look at all my medical history. HECK! My physicians should be able to do that too, I mean do you have any idea how many surgeries I've had?
OH AND! I still need to get a job and I have no school supplies (notebooks, pens, folders, and my books) and I think I'm gonna need hiking boots so I can take Bear Dog for walkies w/o getting my socks wet or having my feet hurt like motherfuckers. I've already hit the parental units up for money, but.... I'm probably gonna need more huh?
Yesterday I finished Heather's mittens and now I want a pair of my own. I also used up a bunch of totally useless left over yarn to make a kerchief from the Bitch 'n' Stitch book. It's pretty fug w/ the totally non-matchy yarns clashing, but it's working just fine keeping my hair out of my face.

good - Music:SG-1
- 14:23 Scooped the driveway. And damn I am tired! I still want to finish Heather's mittens! Why hello there tylenol. I would like to swallow you #
- 14:27 Oh poop I forgot the mail! Grr Back outside. #
- 11:21 I've been up for like 2 hours and I am exhausted. Bear Dog go away. I'll walk you later, I promise #
- 12:04 Back from the walk and I am so freaking tired. Like bone weary. Everything else feels ok, no chest ache, no trouble breathing just fatigue #
- 12:49 Back from walking BD and hoohah I am tired. And yet Bear is like "Play?" No dude, sit for now. #
- 13:11 @claudia79ad He's sacked out behind me snoring. Last night he made the cooing noise ET made in the movie #
- 13:12 Okay I cannot find an ATM associated w/ my bank period. Let alone one that takes deposits. I wonder if Heather will do direct deposit. #
- 13:14 Food? Yes please, but what? Sammich? Left over Curry? Soup? Oo soup. #
- 14:08 So I got immun docs from high school and um... I cannot think these are up to date. So I guess SDSU is the next place to call? #
- 14:26 I fucking hate this website so very much. Die, die in a fire right after you give me what I want! #
- 14:34 Also I fucking hate not having a printer that talks to my computer. Least I found the transcript request thingy. SMASH!! #
- 14:35 Course I had to call the registrar's office to have the nice lady talk me through to finding it but still. Fuck! #
- 14:59 Alright so I have to go to the post office and the library today. And here I go... watch me leave the house. Zoom? #
- 15:58 Wouldn't it make sense to have your Post Office really easy to find? Oh well. I'll find it eventually. #
- 15:59 Also! the Forest Lake library *has* GN but they are in like no order at all. Except for the Manga. I had to stop myself from from fixing it #
- 16:01 Wait so tomorrow is Ground Hog Day?! Well I know what I'll be watching all day tomorrow. #
- 23:27 Just finished BONE. It was AWESOME!! I totally must own the entire series #
- 10:22 Thus starts my day long viewing of Groundhog Day featuring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell. Teehee hee I love this movie #
- 10:30 SHould I wait for it to stop snowing before I go shovel? Hmm Tricky. #
- 10:59 Ned? Ned Connors?! *PUNCH* Oh man that shit never gets old #
- 11:15 Ok I officially miss working at a video store! I don't want to have to wait for new movies! ARG! Want Zombieland now! #
- 11:32 Shouldn't it be "House has a new home"pause"on Bravo" not "House has a new home on Bravo". Tha'd imply that it already had a home on Bravo. #
- 02:04 Second sweater is DONE! Sleeves are alittle long, but I'm enjoying wearing it right now. And now I'm very tired. #
- 10:05 Man I want Glee so freaking much! Why is it so expensive? Why am I so fucking poor? Arg #
- 10:19 twitpic.com/10pl6a - My 2nd Betsy-Made sweater. Doesn't it look fabulous? #
- 10:20 twitpic.com/10pl9l - My cuffs w/ the buttons #
I have to finish Heather's mittens this week and now that I've figured out the pattern I anticipate they shouldn't take me too long. After that I've got a bag I'm working on and then... maybe a sweater for Mom for her birthday and socks. I really enjoy knitting. I like having complete control over what I'm going to wear and I'm learning by leaps and bounds.
I've almost finished by application for this spring semester of classes, which wont be officially for my Grad work since I'm gonna start that in fall, but all the classes I'll take will count toward my degree once I'm accepted on that condition. I still haven't heard from my teachers in SDSU about my references and I don't know who I'm gonna use for my 4th non academic professional reference. But it's plugging along nicely.
Yesterday we had another house showing- with an hour and a half notice on a Saturday night. And after we dicked around Forest Lake for like an hour we went back and they either hadn't gotten there yet or they're still inside- because their realtor is clearly a moron. Anyways we ran around for like another HOUR and we didn't get home until like 7:30 and it sucked.
I need a job badly. I'm gonna fill out my application for Target- there's like 12 around here so at least one of them would need a person of my bitchen retail skills.
Nothing really exciting, actually.

- 14:35 Ok so BD and I are going to the vets in ten minutes. I'm leaving 45 minutes early so I can get lost. The homeopathic vet's in Narnia I swear #
- 13:15 Attempt at mitten number 3 in just a few minutes, after I unravel my yarns. #
- 17:19 I wish Heather had made her request for gloves two weeks ago. Now I feel like there's a deadline and I have less time for experimenting. #
- 21:13 Suddenly just came down w/ a fever. Feels like the flesh on my face if turning brittle and burning off. Guh. Sick betsy is sick #
- 21:16 @claudia79ad She's asleep on the couch. Do you remember what vet she goes too? I have to take BD tomorrow #
- 21:22 @claudia79ad Yeah if she'd ever wake up. #
- 21:25 I know I've said this before but man I love Nazis as villains. They are the best at being evil. #fringe #
- 21:37 @claudia79ad Well I'll take her advice under consideration if I'm still sick tomorrow. #
- 00:49 I love how on Project Runway they're always shocked-SHOCKED- when they get a 2 day challenge and then on the 2nd day they get another dress #
- 00:59 Alright so fever is gone, but my body hurts. I'm sorry heather you're mittens will come but I've redone that bitch like 7 times! Need break #
- 09:52 I'm watching Hex again and again I'm struck by the unconventional format. So the lesbian ghost is the main character? Huh #
- 10:05 These is like the tiniest little squirrel outside climbing on the trees. So very cute. Hope he finds the food I left #
- 10:20 So I have all kinds of things to get done today, but I finally have the yarn to finish my sweater. I really want to finish it. Tricky. #
- 10:38 So as far as #Caprica goes... does anyone think that Eric Stoltz's character is alittle too into his daughter? Are they going that way?! #
- 16:40 Okay so finally back from errands. I bought my comics, groceries and some knitting needles. So tired. Now to enjoy the fruits of my labors #
- 20:37 Gods I am so tired! Like physically bone weary. #
- 21:10 I want tea but I'm just barely warm under my computer and blankets. The cat's refusing to be helpful either. #
- 15:49 Yeah, I'm watching Xena, all b/c I just listened the Lucy Lawless on Wait...Wait... Darn you Carl Castle! Darn you! *shakes fist* #
- 15:51 Ok seriously you can't just throw weapons on the ground and cover them w/ 1 layer of dirt! Some little kid could find that. Not responsible #
- 16:00 I love that the first episode is all about some wanna-be-warlord geeking out at Xena. You didn't sign my 1st issue! I'm gonna kill you! #
- 16:02 Once again my PB&J eating has resulted in finding PB or J in a strange place. My jeans pocket. How or why doesn't matter, it just is. Sticky #
- 21:56 I'm gonna make some mitten's for Heather. She asked and I think it might be fun #
- 09:35 my thick winter socks ARE FALLING APART!! Damn them damn them to hell #
- 10:55 Okay there has to be envelopes and stamps around here somewhere right? Hmm where though? Should I call Heather? #
- 12:03 I have soup. It is definitely a soup day. Brr so glad I walked the Bear Dog already. #
Sunday after we left the Gramma we looked at two houses. The first one was in this gorgeous outdoorsy area and the outside was really interesting and kind of Asia vibey w/ a 1/2 wrap around porch and a really nice screen porch. Inside though it was like amature hour; 1/3 of the main floor was made up of like sun rooms, many many sunrooms, unheated and one had old cabinet doors as the ceilings and the floor was carpeted w/ rugs that had been stitched together. The wood work had a lot of potential, mixing stains and grains nicely, but then we noticed that the wood was seperating from the wall! There's a difference between an open floor plan and exibitionist, but when the bedroom has glass doors and walls that's just icky. Anyways Heather was like "Um... this isn't really a kid friendly place, " and we left for the next house.
The second house was AMAZING! It's this glorious A frame log cabin w/ heated floors and high end kitchen appliances and it's got so much character! The only concern is it's kind of small for a family bigger than say 3, but BUT! there is a guest cabin next door that's a studio and I am inlove with it. In the main house there isnt' a whole lot of storage and no closets in the master bedroom although the master bath is amazing. Mat and Heather and I were already talking about if you could add on without completely messing up the flow of the house. The backyard is partially fenced in, and by partially I mean the house has a good acreage to it, but only about ten yards is fenced in, and there's a small-ish hottub in the fenced in area. The most massive downside is how Gods' blessed expensive it is! 600 Grand people, but it's a short sale, which means the bank is about to foreclose on it (look I'm learning!), and since there laundary room is like in the the tank room, the realtor thinks they'll probably lower the price soonish. Have I mentioned how much I adore this place? And Heather and Mat's work would be like a 10 and 20 minute commute instead of 1 and a half hours like it is now.
Bear Dog and I went for our first walkie yesterday and while he is the sweetest most kindest puppy in the world on walkies he's the AntiChrist. Heather and Mat walk him on an extrendo-line and a choke collar so there is like no controlling him, and alot of the neighborhood doesn't have a sidewalk and several houses don't put down de-icer on what sidewalks they have. I didn't fall but I think we can all agree it's only a matter of time. Yesterday we walked with the halter they'd bought for him, put I had the leash hooked up to the choke collar like normal. Getting that Halter on him was quite a battle let me tell you, but once it was on he didn't really care. I'm gonna buy him a normal leash and work on walking him like a normal dog, and I'll start looking around for like Dog play dates to take him to so he can romp around to his little heart's content.
I've gotten in contact with United and I'm visiting on Friday for a tour and I'm gonna sit in during on the classes. I was kind of hoping Heather could come with me, but she works and I'll be fine. I'm a big kid. hehe. Today I'm going to run to White Bear Lake and do a little job hunting and visit the local Yarn Shoppe for some supplies. I'm almost done with my sweater, just the sleeves and pockets to get done and then I can start on a new bigger purse. I love my leather one, but I need something alittle bit more flexible.

- 10:47 Holy crap it's fucking snowing. Like a lot. Didn't we already did this two weeks ago? Is Mother Nature trying to break some kind of record? #

- 00:37 Okay so Leverage? Is the awesome. Even with Christian Kane's stupid hair, everyone is exactly spot on. #
- 00:52 @BrianLynch I'd watch it. Cobblers are awesome. Or is that just shoe makers, not shoe sellers? #
- 00:57 So does anyone else have trouble remembering what the con was initially for during and episode of Leverage? B/c it's just fun #
- 23:15 You know what I hate? When Corporate tells us to "have fun" with things that just aren't fun. Like training new people, or doing inventory #
