Squeeee!

Guess whaaaaaaaaat!  Guess what guess what guess what!

I got an A in my Latin American class, and I got an A- in my American Lit class!  Eeeee!

Rest in Peace

I am just posting to let you all know that my uncle passed away this morning from pancreatic cancer.  He was in excruciating pain all night long, so while it hurts that he is gone, he is no longer in pain.

Below is what my aunt posted on the caring bridge site today:

     Gary's journey here is over. He went into the arms of his gaurdian angels earlier today. I want to again thank everyone for the unrelenting prauers and thoughts for our family. Please continue them as we go this difficult time.
     Tentatively the plans are to have visitation on Tuesday at Heady at Resthaven (Bardstown Road in Fern Creek) and the funeral service Wednesday at St Bernard Catholic Church in Highview. I will give more details later.
     Again thanks so much and if you love someone, tell them today.
     God Bless you all.
Linda 




If you need me over the next several days, you'll need to call me on my cell phone, and likely leave me a message.  I'll then call you back when I see I had a call or I'm able to talk.

Doors and Floors

So I walked into the library today.  Bleh.  I dislike libraries, esp the local ones.  Well, the inner door was propped open, like it usually is, so I walked through it.  Until it realized it was an automatic handicapped door, and decided to close on me as I walked in.  Hit me square in the side of the head and down my side.  My head is STILL throbbing.

Stupid doors.

Only I...

... could get another bout of poison oak to my feet in the beginning of March, and by wearing an old pair of shoes.  This, my dear friends, is talent.  Much like running into walls or tripping over flat surfaces.

Update 3-7-10

My uncle is now in the hospital because he has blood clots in both of his legs.

Ta Da!

Won't chat long, just an update.

Had a grad student meet'n'greet today in the grad office, then had a presentation by Sylvia, then moved the party over to Madeline and Zach's house.  It was tons of fun.  Almost everyone brought a six-pack to the party, and amusingly enough it was all gone three hours later.  (I only had one, then a few cups of coca-cola.)  A prof also added some vodka to the mix, I believe, when he came.  I know at the very least he brought more beers for people, haha.  I got to meet their kitteh, Tiger, and he spent almost the entire evening in my general area, following me around.  He even meowed at me when I wouldn't pay attention, which he didn't do to other people.

He was cute and fuzzy and had kitten fur still.  He is probably two or three months younger than frick and frack here.  I also have bite and claw marks all over my arms from where he was 'playing'.  He was a cutie.

Also, if you guys know anyone in the northern Kentucky, southern Indiana, or SW Ohio area that can take one to three cats into their homes, please let me know.  A friend of mine is getting a divorce, and without a job or income of any sort, she cannot keep them.  I think the dog is accounted for, but she still has three cats that need a good home.  With four cats in our house, we can't take any more in.  I can't afford more, and besides, we're already two cats over the limit for our neighborhood.  (2 cat 2 dog max rule)

So if anyone can take 1, 2, or 3 (which would be the best!) please let me know.  We both want to make sure they get good homes.
