Hey there kiddlets.  I've decided to do an entry at 11:33 PM (when I should be in bed, sleeping).  Let's see, the latest update, I got last week completed.  Thank goodness.  Now for this week.  Work tomorrow until 11 and Thursday until 10 and I have a Western Civ. exam at 9 am on Friday.  But oh well.  Tomorrow in my Sociology class we are having the people from the club CUFFS talk to us.  They are a club about bondage, S&M, etc.  Now that should be interesting.  I am excited for this weekend, since well, I get to go home and see the ma and pa and the little Betsy- Boo.  I'm sure we'll be in Sioux Falls sometime during this weekend and maybe I'll make an appearance at my favorite Nana's house (if that's okay).  Of course I'll call ahead.  Anyway, the go-cart is still chugging along..although it would be nice to get that 2002 Olds Alero I keep drooling over when I drive by...some day....

Well, Dan is going to be out in the field for the next 12 days, which means no contact.  It's known as their "War Games" <whatever that means> all I know is that he is currently in Louisiana and is hating every minute of it.  We'll be missing Valentine's Day yet again.  We've been together for over 2 years and have never been able to celebrate Valentine's Day.  Year 2004 = Dan at bootcamp; Year 2005 = classes, Year 2006 = Dan's deployment.  Grr at the Military for interferring with my day of Love.  <Shrug> Someday we'll celebrate it together.  I know it's just a hyped up "holiday" brought to you by our society. 

I started painting on my canvas today, quite exciting.  Although I do have to admit I was a little nervous/intimidated by it.  I want to make the perfect painting and not do any mess ups.  Of course my buddy Sunshine (yes that's her name; cool chick by the way) is an avid painter and showed me some tricks and on Thursday is going to show me a technique using an old tooth brush (she's shown/taught me more than our instructor). 

Well, kiddlets it is off to bed I go; Hope you all have a good rest of the week and I'm sure I'll be posting many entries.  30 Days to go until I see Dan again. 

Mister is passed out on my bed...exactly where I should be..the little turkey...
