The Heat is on!!

Oh my Lordie, this weather has been super duper hot. Thank goodness for the AC I have in my room, if not I would have baked. Its not supposed to rain this weekend but you never know. Summer in NYC is so muggy....illk. People sweat and stink. You get annoyed on the train because you have to stand next to people who can't smell themselves. It's nasty I tell ya! The humidy makes your hair frizz and the makeup never stays on cause you're too busy wiping the sweat off. I miss the dry heat of New Mexico. No bad hair days at all....hehehe.

The Puerto Rican parade is this Sunday and I am sure the streets will be packed. I am passing on that and going to the beach with my son instead. We both love being at the beach. It beats staying in the city and we get to swim. Yesterday I went with my son to his HS orientation, it was nice. It is a new school with only 112 students. They have a strict dress code and honor code. I think my son will do well there. He is siked and really liked the school. There is just one thing, he has to attend summer school. He did not pass the Math Statewide therefore he needs to take it over. Oh well...so much for him wanting to travel to St. Maarten with his best friend. Education first!

On another note, I have a ride for the summer....yipeee.. My boyfriend bought a car so now I will be able to get around when necessary. I can take my son to Six Flags for his bday and get myself to my girlfriend's wedding with out a problem. We will be able to get around with ease and take road trips as well. We are siked. Now my boyfriend can drive up from Brooklyn rather than take the hour long train ride. It's a good investment.

All is well in the love dept. Things couldn't be better. I guess good things do come to those who wait. We are very happy and very in love. I wouldn't change a thing.

Work:
I took a Microsoft office seminar this week to tweak my Excel skills a bit and I am glad I did. I learned a few new tricks. Next week I take the Word course. I need to learn Mail merging. I never had to use it before but now I do.....yikes. I am sure I will enjoy as I did the Excel course. I am really considering teaching. It's something that has crossed my mind a few times but now I just really want to do it. I will be attending the workshop then I have to enroll in school again. I need to get my Bachelors...big time. Wow, there is so much I want to do. I want to write a book, be a teacher and own a business. Geez, where do I begin .....

I am so excited about my daughter starting high school. This is where it all begins for them...their adventure into adulthood. My daughter didn't pass the math state test either. Hell, I don't know if I can pass it! Being a parent is HARD work! Can i get paid now?!

Once you learn mail merge you will LOVE IT! lol I use it everyday sending out benefit letters.

Hey Kim,

Yes, mail merge is easy. I have created a few on my own just for practice...hehehe. We should get some kind of compensation just for having kids...lol. Hardwork it is my dear and HS is even tougher but I am sure we will both do fine. We just have to give them our support and guidance to stay on the right track.
