After this week I will have school two nights a week from 6-10:30 pm for six weeks. I will then be officially ahead of my degree program. I hope to do the same for the winter program and again next summer.
I like school but it makes me miss being with Tash and Nadia.
Nothing makes me realize that more then this past weekend as Tash and I did some farm work and then got away to Frenchtown, NJ for some lunch and shopping. Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love author) has a new cookbook out and Tash went and got a copy signed for a friend. Frenchtown is a beautiful little city on the coast of the Delaware River. There are many towns like this along the western part of NJ. We walked, shopped, and had some lunch. We will definitely be making our way back there one day.
Another place we think might be a good place to visit is Stockton, NJ as we passed through there on our way to Frenchtown. Next weekend we will be visiting Lambertville to find an antique piece of furniture for our bedroom.
I hope this feeling never goes away but each day I leave home for somewhere I cannot wait to get back home to Tash and Nadia. I love spending time with them and days like yesterday make life so easy.
Life is good and easy.

F#$%!
Alright, so I decided to make a conscious effort to eliminate cursing from my vocabulary. I know..... I know.....
However, I have become a bit embarrassed by it lately, especially because I never even hear the curses coming out of my mouth. I am a person who controls a lot of things and cursing is just not one of them, yet.
So, I did some research (yes it exists) and two days ago I wrote about things that make me curse, why I think I swear so much, and a list of reasons on why I want to stop cursing. The one thing this exercise has done is make me aware of the curses.
I cursed two times yesterday at work within two sentences and twice today. Today was a bit funnier as I was speaking to our receiving person and I said, "This person does this all the f$%^^$g time, f!#k I cursed."
The main reason I would prefer not to curse is that I would rather have Nadia hear them elsewhere so I can speak with her about them in a way that she respects me.
I have begun to realize my language is going to become more and more important in my career as I move on. I need to be more articulate and at least appear to be more intelligent. Dropping out cuss words will certainly help with both.
I even asked Tash to gently remind me if she hears me curse. She asked how should I do that? I said gently because I really have no idea why the thing I read said should ask for gentle reminders. I guess it is to avoid discouragement.
Yeah, I am that weird.
