Busy Day & Playing Cleopatra
Fri Apr 09 2004

Ugh, what a day. Not that it was bad, just long.

I overslept by 30 minutes this morning, and seeing that this is Hubby’s day off I conned him into getting the kids ready for school while I readied myself for school.

Got to class, bombed a math quiz as I was COMPLETELY unprepared for it (I won’t go into the details, but my study time Thursday got put to use on other important things). My computer class was boring as instead of giving class, we were given two different tests as part of a survey to determine what type of learners we were. Monday will be wasted when the people who gave it come back to do something else.

YAWN!

I got home and Hubby was getting ready to go jogging. I talked him into walking instead so we walked 2 miles together in the beautiful warm sunshine. I wanted it to go on forever, but I had quite a load of homework looming over me.

After the walk, I headed to a doc appointment, and then hit the library for an intended few hours of homework and study.

Note I said “intended” few hours of study. About an hour into studying I became aware of the fact that I couldn’t focus, and had a very uncomfortable cramping in my stomach. That was about the time I realized I had been running so late, and so focused on school and homework that I hadn’t eaten yet today.

DUH! No wonder I couldn’t focus! Not that I couldn’t stand to miss a few meals, it is not conductive to studying. So I packed up and headed home. I greeted the kids and Hubby, who made the most wonderful suggestion. Go to Taco Bell for dinner, followed by taking the kids to see Hell Boy. No need to ask me twice if this sounded good; I immediately bundled the kids in the car and asked Hubby what was taking him so long.

It was a typical Comic Book movie. Fun to watch, lots of action, campy story line and guaranteed to not win any awards for anything except possibly make up. We got a bonus in that the trailer for the next Spiderman movie and Van Helsing trailer were shown before the movie. Ho Mama! I can’t wait for those two!

Twenty-eight days and two hours until Van Helsing, but who’s counting?

Since my homework load is very heavy, and the kids have spring break next week, Hubby is taking them camping and leaving me home to plug away at homework. They will be going to the beach. Originally I was going to go with them, but I realized that if I go my homework will NOT get done. So, home I stay for 3 or 4 days flying solo.

Can you say “virtually no laundry pile for 4 days”? I knew you could!

Of course when they get back is another story, but I’m going to stay in denial about that until it is staring me in the face.

Just call me Cleopatra… Queen of Denial.

    I can't remember if it was in the first twenty minutes or not. The tribes got together for a reward challenge. In walked Amber and Boston Rob?s heart skipped a beat. He looked at her with his cute puppy dog eyes.
    The challenge was swimming along the bottom of the ocean along a ladder and releasing ten floats. Anyway, Rupert ended up winning and he was allowed to take two other people from either tribe with him for a day of massages, food, drink and real beds to sleep in for the night. First, he picked Amber. I was wishing he would be nice and say Boston Rob so the two lovebirds could spend time together but instead he picked Jenna. Therefore, he and as he put it, "the two goddesses" flew off in a helicopter to get the royal treatment. The girls got makeup. Everyone got deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo, etc.
    After the girls and Rupert returned, is when the two tribes merged. I think you would have caught the part where Boston Rob tells Lex he is getting the AXE and Lex tells Boston Rob he is pissed at him for not keeping his word about protecting him if he saved Amber. Kathy cried and told Lex she was going to give him her immunity necklace. Of course, you saw at tribal council she chickened out and kept it for herself. LEX got SCREWED.
    I know Boston Rob is cutting his throat by playing the "God father". I just hope for entertainment value that they keep him around for most of the game. He is really fun to watch and what a CUTE guy! Can't trust em as far as you could throw him, but I like the scenery.
