Quiet Night

Well, it has been a hectic work week and I am beat! I am so glad it is Friday tomorrow!!! Tonight I wish I could say I am going to make beads, but I can't. I am going to muster up every bit of energy in me to make myself study for my Echo boards! My first of 2 exams is less than 2 weeks away and I need to get my booty in gear. I have not taken an ultrasound registry since 2001 when I took my vascular boards and boy am I rusty. I know the kind of dedication and studying it takes to pass those lengthy exams and I am starting to feel the pressure. (I am getting too old to have to take new tests!) Not to worry though. I will be making beads definitely this weekend and maybe even get in some torch time tomorrow night! So check back, because I promise to post new beads as soon as they are made! Oh...and don't forget....THESE beads are up for grabs!! The drawing will be this Saturday night, so don't forget to post away to get your entry in!

Have a great night!

By the weekend I hope to be done with these pictures and be ready to start beading again! Go study, but if you need a break, just send us a note! :)

Good luck with the studies! I know how hard it is, I've got 3 papers due the last weekend of July. I would much rather buy your beads and read your blog that other stuff! Good Luck with the test!

Boy I don't envy you ladies studying for exams and writing papers! I'll take my hectic crazy days of just being a MOM over studying anytime! I was a horrible student and was so glad to get a job... but then you needed to "brush up" on your skills from time to time and take exams to get licenced for different things (I was in sales) so it was like school all over again! Best of luck girls, hope you do well on your exams!

Well I hope I can stay awake... Not sure it will happen tonight. I think Ann and I will have to wait until tomorrow to see the movie. I know there is really loud singing in it but somehow I don't think the other people in the theatre would appreciate all my SNORING! ha ha Dinner instead... Carey, you eat mexican, right? We'll order some extra chips and salsa for when you get there! :)

SassyStoppers said...
