Blessings Occur in Multiples

So I successfully completed my LSAT on Saturday...it wasn't as bad as I thought...I almost even enjoyed it...frightening, I know.

At 4:41 AM December 12, Little Bitty was born and named Alivia Grace. I went to meet her at her place yesterday evening...got to cuddle her for ten minutes before one of the grandmas showed up and took her away.

She is a gorgeous baby!

I got to stay and crash Stephen's birthday dinner, something I hadn't intended to do, but they were really gracious about it.

I have one more complete off day tomorrow then back to work on the 16th...

I will be spending Christmas on my own because my parents and brother (who is in town) are heading to NM to spend Christmas with my sister.

Hours Away...

My alarm is set for 6:30 in the morning, so I can take a relaxing shower.

My ziplock bag is packed, my admission ticket reprinted, my pencils sharpened and my watch reset to the correct time.

I have clean comfortable sweatpants at the ready, a clean t-shirt and a clean hoodie along with clean socks and undergarments and, of course, my sneakers.

My gas tank is full and I have a printed map with directions to UTEP, as well as a map of the campus.

I am as ready as I can be...

Other than that, I've gotten internet at home, have set both my computer and my mother's up for the wireless, which is awesome.

I've become crazily addicted to coffee...

I've been manifesting physical signs of my nerves...

And at the moment, all I need are a pair of blue and purple socks...gift exchange.

My favorite people haven't had their baby yet...

My little brother is coming into town tonight...

And I am making plans to go see Harry Potter again...even if I have to go alone.

Oh yes...I can't find a book that belongs to the library...I'm almost positive I've already returned it...now I have to prove it...at least I know the title of it.

I am looking into the Paralegal Program at EPCC...

And I am hoping for extra hours at work...soon, that may happen being the other night clerk has given her two weeks notice.

Blade or Bullet?

So, eight days until the day of reckoning for me...

And the major question is cancel or take the average?

Tomorrow, I'll do the first practice test...I'll do the second one on the nineth...relax on the tenth, head up west to find the building on the campus...

Then the eleventh...try not to change my train of thought from cancel or average to blade or bullet.

Either way, it can get messy.

Good news...I will be getting me some internet at home for my Christmas present to me.

I may be able to pick up extra shifts at work since the other night UC has given her two weeks notice.

Bad news...none, really. Except my short pay period, which will severely cut my paycheck the coming week...I hate being put on available...so prayers I don't get called on Saturday and placed on available...I can't afford just four paid days...I need al five...since I've lost one already...the other one was covered by PTO.

Well, other than that and waiting for Little Bitty to make it into the world, nothing new.
