I love polka dots & diet cherry coke

I just have to say that polka dots make me happy, which is why I picked this format for my page....in fact, I like them so much I put giant purple dots in my daughter's yellow room. Very fun!
So, my life consists of study, eat, sit and get stiff while I study some more, rush around campus, rush home, rush, confusion, papers everywhere...my SuperEagle sits in the other room, watching TV and waiting for me to come down to go to bed. He will be asleep when I get down. He has been waiting like this for nearly 3 years, as long as I have known him (kinda...that story I will tell another time)....and he must feel like it will never end. I graduate in May, take a year off, and I will go back to graduate school...I am sure he is just tickled pink about that!!
I wonder how many diet cherry cokes I have drank in the past week..? Too many. I drink them to fill my tummy so that I don't eat bags of crackers and other crunchies while I study...that could really add up! Do that for seven years, and I won't be able to fit in my new desk chair anymore. I joke about it, but it really scares me. I am turning 30 next month, which kinda scares me to death, and it partially relieves me. It's like I have permission to chill out and concentrate on my career.....to wear "sophisticated" clothing without looking funny. On the other hand, I don't want to lose all of my vitality (really, it's piss and vinegar, but hey)....and my body is changing. That is the WORST! I have always had a nice body (save the months I was pregnant...ouch!), and I have worked hard at it, but I haven't had time with school....ugh ugh ugh
So, I should get back to my organic chemistry...exam Monday. I am looking forward to the next time that, when I have a minute for my brain to wander, my thoughts go to musing about things like what makes some people shimmer (I already know why the sky is blue), and why some people just make you smile, what does a hug do to us on a physical, chemical, kinesthetic level? Why do they feel so damn good?! :0)
Ok, it's late, and my chemistry is seeping out of my brain...so, Toodles!
