Scary...
Rising foreclosures have widespread fallout
Filings in the U.S. were up 47% from a year ago, leaving a wake of vacant homes and overgrown yards for state and local governments to contend with. Even lenders are trying to help troubled borrowers.

On your mark...
I completed my first assignment today. Apparently for each course you take at University of Phoenix you post a short biography of yourself as your first assignment. So while J dozed on the cough and Moo snored in her crib I got to it. Thankfully my new job has me back into the swing of things with writing so it didn't take me too long to hammer something out.
Other than that I also bit the bullet this weekend and paid the fees for my first course. The nice thing about being a cash student and not being dependent on financial aid is that I can set my own pace for the degree program. What I plan to do is save during the six weeks of each course and if I have enough to take the next course immediately afterwards then I'll do that, if not I'll be allowed to take as much time as I need to amass the necessary money. Now that is flexibility.

Regrouping
Okay, I may have to change that promise to everyday during the week and optionally on the weekend. I'm bushed at the moment. Just reeling from the shock that one of the Blue Angels crashed and died during an air show in South Carolina. They were just here a few weekends ago. The formation they were doing when the pilot veered off and died? My neighbor and I saw that at eye level when we were coming over the bridge that leads from Panama City over to the base.
Surreal.

Where's my brown bag?
Well, I'm not doing too hot at the moment. Feel like I'm in a fog, with a migraine and a slight cold. Won't bore you there, but I wanted to lay it out just in case this comes out all disjointed. Anyway, I was on the Burnie Thompson Morning Show on Talk Radio 101 earlier today. It went well, my boss and the executive editor said I did good. My boss even said that I sounded "polished and poised." That's amazing considering that I was shaking like a leaf afterwards and it took forever to calm my nerves.

Yet to go
On the air that is. Monday's mass shooting at Virgina Tech obviously eclipsed anything else short of World War III on Tuesday. We rescheduled to this morning, when I was supposed to joing Thompson in the studio, but then we had to take Moo to the clinic. The poor little thing has both ears infected and a bad congested cough.
So I'm due on tomorrow morning at approximately 8am. I'm quite tired tonight so this entry is going to be more of an update than a conscious discussion of a particular topic. Answering emails at the moment and enjoying a psuedo-Mojito. Wondering when hubby will realize I finished the last of the Bacardi :)
