I know, I know...I've been meaning to stop by and write all week...but it's been pretty busy!  My brother went back home to his wife and kids on Tuesday...we had a great time having him here...it's been too long since we have seen him in person.  We do all keep in touch via email, video chat, etc...but it's always great when someone comes to visit in person.  Thanks for coming to visit Big Bro!  We love you!  Give Erika a hug for me and the kiddies a kiss from their aunt please...thanks!

Anyway, Finals coming up next week and the week after...so been busy finishing up projects and homework and studying...somewhat...A few people were asking me in class yesterday how many classes I take each semester, and I said 4, and they asked if I work full time too, and I said yes.  They were surprised, but I just laughed and told them that I make up for the lack of time by sleeping only part-time...(;  haha...but it's true...I do try to catch up on Saturday mornings for the lack of sleep the rest of the week...

I need to go work a bit, but I will be back a little later...I'm working on some kind of contest idea for my book...the thoughts are brewing in my head...so stop by later to check it out and to participate pretty please...I need everyone's help...thanks!!!  ciao
