Here Kitty, Kitty!

I'm trying out my new laptop and getting it, and myself, geared up for classes again, which start tomorrow. Yikes! Christmas and New Years came and went wonderfully, but oh so fast! I had good intentions to get caught up on my blogging and emailing, but did a rather pathetic job of it. I did receive good news this week that I made the Deans List with all A's this semester. Talk about happily suprised! I'm sure my GPA will not come as easily with the Nursing Program. For one, the grading scale is more difficult, and the course itself is challenging, too. But I've got my laptop, $900 worth of books (sheesh!), my scrubs, my clinical uniform, and I think I'm about ready to go. Now if only I can keep exercise as a priority now that school will be underway.
The girls are doing great. They are enjoying a much needed break in-between sports! They needed it, too. Those kids don't get a lot of down time; they're usually hard at it from 7 a.m. until bedtime, so this has been nice for all of us.
We've adopted a new siamese. I think it's a she, and possibly a young pregnant she, which is why we worked for a couple of days at luring her into the sign shop with tasty morsels. "She," I think I'll call her Sweetie Pie, couldn't resist. Anyway, we all felt (family decision) that if she were going to have babies, they would have a hard time surviving in the harsh SD winters. We're still working at gentling her down enough to actually check to see if she is a she, but there is definitely a big belly on an otherwise pretty slim cat. She is gorgeous though. I will have to get a picture. She is fluffy with brilliant blue eyes! And she winks. I once heard Siamese were noisy cats, but this one is most certainly the silent type. It usually takes me a while to find her when I go to the shop.
Hope you're having a wonderful New Year!
