School

Well I've decided to torture myself and applied and was accepted to a distance program offered through San Jose State -to get my Masters of Public Health....which is where I've been for the last week! Orientation, meeting my new cohort & instructors, and attending my first class. So if I look frazzled for the next two years -now you know why. It's an intense 2 year program wherein each class only lasts 6-7 weeks (I don't know how I'm going to make it through Epidemiology in that short of a time), and there is no thesis or final project but a comprehensive test! Just so those of you who are here in Chico know -I'm eternally gratefull for all the help you've given already to help this single mom :). Poor T was abondoned by her mother for 6 days and thank goodness she has a family of friends who love her.

Shoes

Okay, first you convince your mom that you absolutly have to have the black satin un-practicle over priced (not needed so 14.99 is too much) dress shoes (that are a 1/2 size too big) ....then you decide that they are best suited for helping mom with the gardening. Very stylish!

First Hair Cut

Okay so I finally had to give in and cut T's hair! Her hair was getting out of control, the curls were a constant tangle, it wasn't looking to healthy on the ends and combing hair was...is a battle. So off about 3 inches went, we don't plan on continuing to cut it short, but needed a fresh start so we could grow some pretty long hair.

On the Road.

Sorry for the lapse in posting...we've been on the road! Ventura, Solvang, Pismo Beach, Vallejo (Six Flaggs Discovery Kingdom), and SF. No pics as we were in the Santa Ynez casino, but if you ever get a chance on their (I think 1/month or maybe week) Thursday night Chocolate Lover's Buffett -go! To die for. I did feel a little sick after all that chocolate :( but I feel it was worth it!
