feeling crabby

I feel like I should have a lot to say having had a busy mother's day weekend and all, but I am feeling sort of mopey and disconnected today. I am too tired and feeling too pms-y and fatigued for my own good. I will be back once I get my head straighten out. I promise.

While you are waiting for my next post, you could go here and check out the latest celebrity photos/gossip. or if that's not your thing, you could answer these questions:

1. if you could only be remembered for one thing, what would you like it to be?
Making a life out of helping others.

2. what is the one memory that truly makes you squirm?
My very first job at a bank. too many awkard moments, like accidently dropping the entire typewriter(before the days of computers) to the ground.

3. if five of your closest friends were each asked to describe you in one word, what would those five words be?
I did research on this: free-spirited, friendly, nurturing, caring, compassionate, outgoing, dedicated and adventrous. I was hoping for " she's smoking hot," but I knew it would be hard to describe me in one word.

4. if you could tell any one person a particular thing, what would that thing be? include the person if you want.
Even though I tell her this all the time, I would tell my daughter, Angela, that I love her more than anything else in this world and that despite how difficult things may appear right now, just know that I will get back in the full swing of things after the treatments as we have so many exciting and new things to look forward to.

5. what draws you back to any particular blog?
That I can relate to the person's writing. I've scaled back the time I spend in the blogosphere quite a bit, so there are really only a few that I read nowadays, although I still check in on other buddies from time to time.

A quick rant before I sign off, gas prices have gone crazy and the government needs to work to bring down these crazy prices, now! I know the demand is high and blah, blah, but all I know is that I am a taxi driver mom who no longer can afford these skyrocketing prices. Will they ever drop down to a reasonable rate, like $2.25? I can handle that.

Hope everyone has a great summer!

Plant Killer

Ahhh, I am so happy the semester is almost over. The last two weeks have been hectic. Like always, the school has been keeping me insanely busy. I had to take two tests on Friday (tests right before finals? Yeah, go figure) and I think I did pretty well on them. I either got them all right or all wrong, but I felt pretty confident walking away from the classes. Anyways, since I did well, I gave myself the rest of the day off from studying and I went to cheesecake factory for lunch with my good friend, B. We went mainly for appetizers and desserts. Great for sharing! I should go to cheesecake factory weekly. At least. After luch, we walked off our lunch by roaming around the Galleria. I spent waaay too much money for shit I don't need. I seem to do this a lot. I am getting a headache due to my increasing stupidity.

Let's see...what else is going on in my rather boring life besides the usual. Nothing spectacular really. While vacuming yesterday, I knocked over my fairly large " Rubber Plant." A huge amount of soil spread all over my beige carpet and sofa. Plant's roots were totally torn and ripped from the bottom of each shoot. The poor plant looked like it's been molested. It definitely was not a pretty sight for those with green thumbs. I stared at the mess on the floor and thought to myself, good thing I have not watered this plant in four weeks. Can you imagine cleaning wet dirt off the carpet and sofa? I have a black thumb. I kill all plants. I need to buy a plant that doesn't require dirt, impossible to kill or molest. Does anyone know where I can buy hard to kill plants?

Speaking of plants, with a friends help, I have planted a small vegetable garden yesterday. We planted peppers, cucumbers.tomotoes and herbs. I am very excited about this and am so looking forward to prepare a salad or meal with ingredents I have grown.

Okay, I'm off to school which has been running my life lately. fun fun fun.
