I Am Wonder Woman--Hear Me Roar!

Man, I look hot! Pretty well-preserved for 45, don't you think?

So I got my grades back, and I got a B in Statistics. Yay me!!! Many thanks to my Stats professor who either curved the grade or took pity on me. Not that I didn't study hard, but I think there was a little intervention at the end. Next up--nothing. Not sure which direction I want to go in, so I'm just going to study for the GRE and have a life for a semester. I'm going to get a lot of backlog cleared up and hopefully get a bunch of "valuables" sold on eBay. Well, I'm hoping they'll be valuable to someone, if not me. And painting the kids' rooms, tiling the bathroom floor, refinishing the kitchen cabinets, planting the garden ... I think I'll fill up the time nicely. I might even get some writing done and finish reading a few books.

As far as the roaring goes, I've lost my voice! I've been hoarse now for over a month. Can't yell at my kids or anything. I know they miss it, though they're hesitant to say so. Probably don't want me to feel bad. I have an appointment with an ENT doc later in January to see what the deal is. As long as I end up more like Kathleen Turner than Spencer W. Kimball, I'm good with it. I don't mind the sexy voice you get when you have a little cold, though I'm kind of attached to my regular speaking voice. We'll see what he says.

Drummer Boy put in his college apps this week. BYU was already in, and now Stanford and Washington University in St. Louis are done. Now the FAFSA and the waiting game.

2009 is going to rock, I can just feel it!

Wow. I hope your voice comes back soon! Good for you on your B. Be sure to take a GRE prep class. I did and it made ALL the difference.
