Finished!

Woo hoo! I just had my last class tonight... well the last class of my first class in my MBA program. It is really unfortunate that I had such a negative outlook on the class. I was so lost most of the time. However, I was comforted tonight when half the room said they had problems with the last four steps in the problem solving model we had been using the past six weeks. I must confess that I finished my final paper (23 page paper) less than 30 minutes before class. The last four steps in the nine step model we were learning have absolutely no meaning in my paper. It is so top heavy I am going to be lucky if I don't fail the class. I didn't have time to even BS the last six pages. I basically wrote whatever rolled off my tongue in that instant. I am so afraid that I refuse to go back and reread my paper... However, I am quite confused because the team paper we wrote last week received a perfect score and there were TONs of mistakes... I wish that could have been my final paper since I wrote the majority of it. Meh, it doesn't matter so long as I pass the class... the important thing is I am done!!! Woo hoo! Now I have four weeks to find a second job, run a half marathon, and put myself in a better position to move forward in life. :-)

Understanding

There are those rare moments in life where you think that someone knows you. Knows you better than you know yourself. Most often it happens with family and those friends you have known for years. Sometimes though, you run into those people at different times in life who are there to remind you that you are better than who you have become. That you are not at your best, and there is always room to improve... not that you aren't good enough now. Maybe you are the "best you can be now", but that doesn't mean you can't do more. Maybe you have only become comfortable and settled with where you are in life, it is then that something puts people in your life to push you forward and help you get back on track. It doesn't matter how many times we resolve to do better and then fall back to what is comfortable as long as we move a little forward each time. Hopefully this time I will move a lot more forward because I have been stuck for awhile. :-)

Pancakes

Pancakes are a good anytime type of food. You can eat pancakes for breakfast, brunch, or dinner... they are also really good for a late night snack. How funny is it to go to the store at eleven at night and buy pancake mix because you aer unispired by the other kinds of food you can make.

Pancakes are a good deal being a filling breakfast food, and best of all they are sweet. What more could you ask for? Pancakes might just be a food with a mistaken identity because it is okay to eat them as a meal when they should really be classified as a dessert.
Pancakes seem to be the one thing you can have as a kid with tons of sugar for which mom won't get mad at you and especially since it is for breakfast. Pancakes are a meal... so you don't really feel that guilty about eating unhealthy because it is something that mom used to feed you and if it okay with mom it can't be that bad for you, right?

The best thing about pancakes is you can have them late at night before you go to bed and snuggle up with your honey and then you can eat them in the morning when you wake up with that person and you fed them both dinner and breakfast. How great it that?
