I know it's not the best quality, but when your camera is broken (again), it's much appreciated.

clutter
i can't even develop one coherent thought, so here are a bunch of half-coherent ones:
- while having a rather important conversation with a professor the other day (the same professor that Brylie tried to expose me to), i realize i have nutragrain bar in my hair. i tried to get it out inconspicuously, but he said, "you can just get it out, you know."
- i'm tired of buying diapers. we have 3 left - is 14 months too early to pottytrain?
- i had an awesome workout today; it really set the pace for my whole day. maybe i'm turning over a new leaf. but hold your applause, this was only day 2.
- i found an empty gallon milk jug in the potty today....and a nutragrain bar.
- the defiance has begun, therefore, the spankings have begun... you know, it really does hurt mommy and daddy more than it hurts the kid.
- possible april fool's day joke: telling brandon i'm pregnant. good idea? bad idea?
eh, better not. he'd probably be really excited.
- i had a "fancy sandwich" tonight, and it was just about the best thing ever. brandon invented them back when we were dating; it's whole wheat bread, turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato, avocado, sprouts, and pickle. A-mazing. they're "fancy" because they make us feel rich. . . it must be the sprouts.

my 3-month struggle
That's right - it's still going on.
but I think I may have figured out how to get out of school alive...
if I switch to the shorter program, I can graduate in december, and have my life back.
however, I won't be able to sit for the LPC exam. meaning, less marketable.
BUT, much happier.
AND, I won't have to do 2-3 years of internships.
so it comes to this (and we'll just list the pros):
shorter program = more time with the family, more time with the ministry, the removal of 3-4 years of school/interships, still having an MS when it's all said and done, and significantly less chances of going berserk and shaving my head.
longer program = waaaay more marketable, more respectable program
Looks pretty obvious to me. 5 to 2.
Why do I need so much affirmation?! Just do it, already!

shamu, schmamu
Just for grins, I thought I'd check to see how much SeaWorld tickets are.
$46.99 for a kid's ticket?! $54.99 for an adult ticket?!?!
I could (very strategically) feed my family for a week for $50! And that's what they charge you to come look at an old whale? No offense, Shamu...but come on, we all know you're not even the original.
I'm starting to see a trend among businesses: 3 years old is the magical age when a child becomes a paying customer.
That means we've got 1 year and 10 months left of paying for family fun. Then, we get our kicks from throwing cold water on Daddy while he's in the shower. : )

The Original
Faker #22
(Like I had nothing better to do than to research how many Shamus there have been.
I'm putting off homework, ok?)

my bare, naked soul
i've been thinking...
how exactly would life be different (aka: better) if i dropped out of school?
not having to be someone's grad assistant, write papers, take tests, give assessments, sit through 3 hour classes, pay exhorbitant amounts of money for books, etc.
and this, my friends, is my deepest, darkest fantasy.
sad, I know.

stuff.
I'm having a random, scattered day.
- Does anyone know of a good dentist? I need one of those.
- Grocery shopping isn't as fun as it used to be. I tend to just put things back on the shelves if they aren't appropriate for a one-year-old with only 4 teeth.
- I've lost 8 pounds. Normally, I would be happy about something like this, but Brandon says I don't look any different... I'd rather look skinnier and not have lost any weight than have lost weight and look the same.
- I'm overwhelmed with the hankerin' to pack up and go somewhere exotic. Europe, maybe. New York...Fiji? I'll start saving up.
- Brylie tried to help herself to some milk while we were in my professor's office yesterday. Awk--ward.
- People are starting to ask me when I'm going to get pregnant again...
