Happiness Only for the Sixth Time
Here marks my 6th happy post. I think it is a fitting number since today is such a whirlwind about it being 6/6/06. So here is one more six to throw in the pot but only into the pot of happiness, right?
First off, the Astros won tonight. whoohoo! We needed it since we have been sucking bigtime. This one announcer named JD has this gawdawful plaid coat he calls his "must win coat". He wore it on air tonight to help the 'Stros along to get their win. So far the coat is 3-for-3 according to JD. I say wear the ugly thing every night!
Anyway, I have one more thing to be happy about. Actually I am a little nervous too. When I went to Houston, we had a little time to kill before the game. Mr. Daphnewood took me to Major's Bookstore. It is for the advanced student or professional, usually specializing in medical texts, but they did have a GRE sample book. I picked it up and started taking a sample test. Oh my gosh. Why have I been so afraid of this test? I got 7 out of 7 correct on the vocabulary part. The essay section is a no-brainer for me. You can't tell from my blog but when I have to, I can write. I have always been recognized by my professors for my writing skills. I just need a bit of brush up on the math section. I have decided that I am going ahead with my grad school plans. Isn't that happy news? It will probably take a year for me to take the GRE and apply to grad school but I am going ahead with my plans for a higher degree. Those who pray, please keep me in your prayers. I would greatly appreciate it.
The final tidbit of happy news is M-Boy got his stitches out today and the gauze removed from his ear. It was really cute. I caught him clapping into both ears, testing his new hearing out. I can tell he is really pleased. In two weeks I think the doc will test M-Boy's hearing officially by sending M-Boy to audiology. He almost made me cry at dinner last night when he suddenly jumped up and whispered "I am talking quieter now." Yes, M-Boy you are and we are all happy for you.

Yayyyyyyyy for M-Boy!!! How wonderful!
Yay for the plaid coat and the 'Stros!
And truly awesome for you, my friend, realizing you are indeed a smarty-pants and CAN take this test and rock it out, and CAN do the grad school thing.
**hugs and prayers**
congratulations on your decision to do the schooling!
I wish I could get similar courage and financial means to do the same....oh to write for a living, doing what I love...
Can I be part of your Brady Bunch? It sounds like so much fun.
Jayleigh, I am really happy for M-Boy too. He has only gotten dizzy once but the new found hearing has been such a blessing. Thanks for the encouragement!
Rowan, I know what you mean. Here in the US you can go to school while working because of financial aid (ie LOANS that have me deep in debt until I am 80 years old) and many schools nowadays offer night courses. They realize the financial stresses of the average American who usually needs to work and go to school at the same time to get by. I hope you can go to grad school soon. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Leslie, you know you are ALWAYS welcome. We collect people in this house.
