The Cost of Books!?!?!

Wow! I got up early this morning (6:30 AM) to go down to Delta and get my books for school and to try to sell my psych book from last semester back to the bookstore. Upon arriving, we had to drive around to the other side of the school because they were redoing the road on the one side of the school. No biggie, just park on the other side of the school. Ok, I guess it would be helpful to have actually been in that side of the school to know where I was and which way I had to go to get to where I wanted to be....yes, I know, Delta isn't that big, but even the wonderful lady that saw my confusion admitted that the reconstruction of that wing was confusing for her at first(I found my way out perfectly btw). When we got down to the book buy back room, they informed me that they were no longer buying back that version of psych book because it was outdated...I guess I have a good reference book for my next psych class. Anywho....I bought 3 text books, one of them being a paperback, 2 workbooks, and a packet for Child Psych and the total came to $322.03. I still have to go back for my Algebra book because they didn't have it in stock. She figured that it would be about $100 for that book too. Oh yeah, the Spanish text book was used too!! My Child Psych book is the most expensive one so far at $99.10.

I got 2 more batches of blueberry jam done last night. I think I have enough blueberries left for one more batch of jam and a blueberry pie. I have to make some strawberry jam and then black cherry. If I put my mind to it, I should be able to get it done today, we'll see how distracted I get though :)

I'm still in shock from yesterday, actually a little disappointed. I asked Alex if he wanted to go and play tennis with me, he said, "No, I don't wanna, I don't feel like it." He said he bought the extra racket for me so that I would go and play tennis with him and then when I ask, he says no!!!!!!!!! I talked to Arthur later yesterday evening and he said he would have gone and played tennis with me, so would his ma. I guess I know who to ask from now on :(

Christen has been complaining about her mouth burning when she eats. Hmmmm, she just came over and showed me where it hurts, seems that she has a lovely little cankar sore....those things really suck! I've only ever had 2 in my life, other people in this household seem to have them ALL the time, I guess most of the kids didn't inherit the better genes ;)

WOOO HOOOOOOOOOO, 5 days till I leave for Michigan International Speedway!! Busch race on Saturday, Nextel Cup race on Sunday! I have to be sure that my bike is all ready to go! I just hope that I don't end up with a shin splint like I did last year from riding and walking so much. That was not an enjoyable month or more after the race, especially since I had Fencing class, that was a bit painful. All in all though, I guess it was worth it, I mean, c'mon, it was for the RACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess I have to finish for now, I have to find the cankar sore stuff to numb up Christen's mouth so she can eat.

Y'all find the time to smile today,
Love Ya :)
