http://www.mosaiclife.com Piece by Piece. Mon, 17 Nov 2008 16:06:26 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I scheduled my classes for spring semester. Finally, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. I have no idea what I'll do with all my extra time when I'm done in May, but I'm certain I'll find something. First term I'm taking Intro to Drawing and Philosophy of Religion. ... http://www.mosaiclife.com/2008/11/17/spring-semester/ Yeah, so I'm not the best at remembering people. I guess it's because we've moved so often that I clear out the memory of those who aren't around so that I have room for those who are. I'm practical like that. At any rate, it's usually only on Facebook or ... http://www.mosaiclife.com/2008/11/09/no-actually-i-dont-remember/ I just started two new classes. One is a World Lit class (the enlightenment to the present) and the other is a class on the Italian Renaissance. I really think I'm going to enjoy this session. I've had both teachers before, and I really enjoy taking their classes. Plus, my grades will be ... http://www.mosaiclife.com/2008/10/28/second-session/ We were able to make a trip to Alabama last weekend despite how unbelievably busy we are. I'll be happy when we're less busy and can enjoy such luxuries as breathing and doing the dishes. Anyway, highlights were being able to see my painfully cute niece and nephew and playing ... http://www.mosaiclife.com/2008/10/08/cuteness-update-5-months/ So toilet training the cat has been a bit more difficult than we expected. So far we can get him to use the tray on top of the toilet, but not when we remove the middle part. He's not really into going to the bathroom in water. It's natural, sure. ... http://www.mosaiclife.com/2008/10/02/toilet-training-update/ So when I tell people that I'm going to school and working full-time, they often ask me how I manage it. And each time I generally don't know how to explain it. I'm not really sure how I haven't gone crazy yet. I just sort of take things day by day, pray ... http://www.mosaiclife.com/2008/10/01/in-which-i-work-a-gone-with-the-wind-quote-into-school-talk/ Yesterday I was home at lunch as usual. Monster was riled up, because lunch time is prime time for biting and pouncing since we're both there and not distracted by work. At any rate, Brandon was holding Monster (against Monster's will of course) when he threw him to the ground ... http://www.mosaiclife.com/2008/09/26/perhaps-they-do-spend-too-much-time-together/ I noticed a slight generation gap the other day as I chatted with a few of my coworkers before a meeting began. Here was the main difference: Coworker in her late 50's: I don't even have a cell phone. And I don't answer my home phone half the time. People who ... http://www.mosaiclife.com/2008/09/16/call-me-no-wait-text-me/ So seven years ago today, I was asleep in my dorm room when my friend Melissa burst in the room (she didn't go to the same college but she'd spent the night) and announced that the country had been attacked. She seemed mostly excited but sort of scared all at once, and I ... http://www.mosaiclife.com/2008/09/11/remembering-911/ We drink mostly diet sodas, so I thought I'd give a review of different ones. Diet Coke. Bleh. BLEH. The aftertaste, it's awful. If I go to a restaurant that has no other diet sodas, I'll usually get half Diet Coke, half Dr. Pepper so as to drink something with less calories ... http://www.mosaiclife.com/2008/09/11/diet-beverage-review/
