Accounting 2 and PsychologyWhat I have learned so far:1. Business accounting is alot of freaking numbers. But I can now configure your loan accounts. And determine annuities.2.

To keep my head straight while taking 2 very indept very short classes, I had to geek up. I have a binder, with weekly calendars marked with exact due dates and important class reminders. Red for accounting, green for psych. It's looking alot like Christmas.4. It's easier to read my...

Belted Up and Ready to Rock

Today was Princess' second tournament. It was more like a practice tourney with three local dojos. But being as she was a fresh yellow belt, she was nervous. She had to perform her Form 2, which she learned the last move on, last week.With Nanny in town, plus my mom and us all in the front row.....it was no wonder that she kept her eyes closed for most of her Form. We are an unruly bunch. But my baby was once again, one of the lowest belts there. We are now exactly five months into karate. Woohoo....
