"Have You Ever Seen the Rain?"


The pup's been doing a lot of this the past few days. And several days last week. It must suck for her, being a white little pup with a muddy yard and parents that are trying to salvage somewhat clean carpets...
Really, my plan was to post a picture of her standing on top of the coffee table with the caption "We've lost all control...", because that's how we've been finding her lately, typically with an ink pen in her mouth. Unfortunately, I can't catch her like that while I'm holding the camera. And let's face it, I would be sending a mixed message to put her back up on the coffee table just for a photo op after we repeatedly yell at her to get down. (Plus, I've already tried this, but she wouldn't stay up there. I'm desperate for blog material this week. Brent saw me do it last night and thinks I am I-N-S-A-N-E...so I tried it again today when he wasn't home.)
Moving on...
After one more final, I'm officially on vacation from class for two+ weeks! Yahoo-ski! For the summer session a few peeps from my class and I are going to take one course away from the co-hort and actually attend an evening class on campus. I've gone to UIndy for almost two years now and have never stepped foot on campus. Weird! Tomorrow I'm going to venture down and have an ID card made since I have just two semesters left...makes sense, right?
In landscaping news, our neighbors can breathe a sigh of relief tonight because we finally put some fertilizer on it during our third spring of living here. I guess we're those people. I couldn't stand it anymore...I called Scotts and a landscaping company the same day to come help us with this mess. There is a little Scotts' flag in my front yard this evening and a landscaping estimate in my inbox and my landscaping anxiety is subsiding. I'm hoping after this overhaul we can keep up with it ourselves next year, but right now it is beyond amateur intervention.
Off to make dinner, and maybe clean out a closet! Which lucky closet will it be?? Ohhhh, the anticipation...
Bring on sun and 80 degrees!!

I totally understand your university thing. I'm about to graduate from UIS and have only been on campus once....to take a final, which I could've taken online, but chose to take on campus because it was a different format and not timed. In August, I will get a diploma that says University of Illinois....and I have NEVER been on that campus. (UIS is just a branch of U of I). Ah, technology. Making life more and more impersonal. I'm all for working on my class in my jammies. Impersonal? Nah, convenient. Wow, I rambled. Sorry.
