Brr.. it's cold in here!

We FINALLY have working air conditioning!  It's supposed to cool down after tonight, but I have it on just because it feels good!  And this darn humidity gets to me every time!

I cannot believe I am down to the final countdown in my summer classes!  I have an exam in each, a couple more discussion boards, and a final project and I will be done for the summer!  I have been exploring SLP graduate programs and right now, my dream would be to get into UW-Eau Claire's online Master's program that they are launching next year.  However, I won't have enough credits completed to apply this year, so will have to wait until next... which means no grad school until 2015... the beginning of a 3 year program.. providing I get in!  I am feeling pretty confident with the classes I've taken this summer, but I will see how the next 20 credits go! ;)  It's hard to think, but I'd still have my Master's shortly after I turn 30!  Cory says I worry too much about my future, but it's hard not to when there are so many options, especially with a career as an SLP!

Masha enjoys "helping" me with my homework!

I am also babysitting for a couple of my favorite daycare kids this Wednesday-Friday.  I have a hard enough time getting myself ready for work.. how am I supposed to get 2 kids ready too?  It will be an adventure for sure! ;)

July!

I feel like I pretty much need to recap the whole month of July!  I will get better at this someday!

I've been doing a ton of crocheting!  I finally made cute little tags
for my hats and maybe I'll be able to do a craft show soon!

Last weekend I went up to the Twin Cities to see my friend Kelly's beautiful new house!  I loved it.  We hit up MOA (I got some new bras at Torrid!) and then went out in downtown Anoka (which really reminded me of good ol' La Crosse!).  It was a ton of fun and MUCH cheaper than downtown Minneapolis!

Oy.. another before picture!  My friends all look amazing though! :)

The next day we hit up the outlets in Albertville.  I thought that was much more fun, and I think we may just skip MOA next time we visit and stick to some smaller malls!  It's a cool place, but it's just always so crowded and overwhelming!

It's amazing all the Packer stuff I find in Minnesota!  I really wanted
this watch but couldn't justify spending $60 on a watch that I wouldn't be able
to even wear to work!  Maybe if I had a nice desk job instead of running around
with rugrats all day! ;)

And this is really nerdy, but I got my first manicure this month too!  I'm trying really hard to stop biting my nails... and I am hoping this will help!  Sucks that when I get it taken off though, my nails will be so brittle!  Hopefully my habit will be broken by then!

I love all the comments from my friends saying how awesome some bling on that ring finger would look! ;)

Our air conditioning has been out pretty much all week and it has been SWELTERING.  I know it's not that bad and I shouldn't complain, but I have some awesome "in-laws" that have let us stay at our house.  It finally cooled down on Friday so we've had our windows open and fans going all weekend, it's pretty nice in here!
It was a bad WW week too, here's to getting back on track!
