And the gosh-darn thing was, like, 20 pages long--I kid you not! It was the Operations Management test from hell. Anna and I spent all day studying for it and once it was done, I swear, I was so spent that I could barely drive home, not to mention my hands (since I have really bad carpal tunnel) felt like they were going to fall off. It was the first exam for this class (and it's technically the midterm since the course only runs the first seven weeks of the semester). So there's this test and the final. Let's hope I did okay. I have mixed feelings, but I'm not going to worry about it until next week. To me...my weekend starts today! I have class tomorrow, but no tests so yeah, the weekend starts TODAY!!!The day would have been a lot better, however, if it weren't for the speeding ticket I got earlier today. Roz and I were driving down this one road that leads to our mom's house. Technically, I was speeding. The cop clocked me going 50 in a 40. What sucks is that I saw her pull out onto the road behind me through my rearview mirror. When that happened, I started to slow down and went all the way to 45. She follows me for a good half a mile, then next thing you know, the lights go flashing and I get pulled over. She tells me that I was speeding and that I continued to accelerate. Bull crap, I said (to myself, at least)! Whatever, I really wasn't going to argue with her. It probably would have irritated her more. Then, after she wrote me up (for a $177 ticket, by the way), she noticed my sister holding all my Operations Management notes for me, asked what they were, to which I responded that they were the notes I'd been studying for a midterm I was going to have today. She responds with, "well, let's hope your day gets better." Yeah, would've been better if I got off with a warning. Am I totally hating? Yes. But it's my blog, and I'll whine if I want to!
I have a busy weekend coming up. My dad's sister, my Auntie Sepa, is stopping by for a visit (with my Uncle Mike). They're supposedly arriving tomorrow afternoon from Texas (where their daughter lives), on their way back to San Diego. I haven't seen them for 15 years or so, so I'm really excited. They might be staying at my house too, so I have to do some cleaning.
On Friday, I'm hosting a Spa Night party at my house to promote my Auntie Emy's BeautiControl business. It's a cosmetic/skin care line and she's going to share some of her products with the 10 or so ladies that attend. I actually use the skin care line and let me just say that it is a wonderful product. I'm going to serve finger foods. You know--cheese, crackers, chocolate covered strawberries and other fruits, and wine! That should be fun.
It doesn't end there. I'm hosting a Pampered Chef party for Antonette on Saturday evening, so I will be entertaining yet again. Can you tell I'm trying to keep busy? Well, I am. Better to have company a lot, then to just be here all in my lonesome (not that cuddling with Lucy is a bad thing....love ya, baby girl)!
Okay, that's all for tonight. Considering all the brain power (which really isn't a lot in the first place) I focused onto that darn test tonight, I'm surprised I can still write a few coherent sentences here! I'll talk to you guys again soon. Ta Ta for now!

Honey, take it from a cop...fight the ticket. It's time consuming and can be somewhat costly, but it's the principle of it. Why'd she follow you so long before lighting you up, when was the last time the radar/lidar gun calibrated, when was she last certified on the gun...
Just a thought. Sorry she wrote you!
Oh my gosh, you are keeping busy! What a bummer about the speeding ticket... I can't believe how expensive it is. That officer should have given you a break... no fair!
