Dem Bones, dem bones...

The leg bone's connected to the....knee bone. The knee bone's connected to the...thigh bone.

That little ancient diddy twirled through my head when I was thinking about writing my newest blog entry. It's been several months since I've posted. Been a tad busy lining up all the details of my new life.

I'm moving to Austin - finally! I've always wanted to live there, and now I get to. Well, "get to"...I planned it that way. I decided that it was time I changed the status quo and did something that I wanted to do and not because I should do it or was obligated to do it.

I'm finally going back to get a master's degree. I always sort of thought I would, but didn't want to continue in the business field and go for the almighty MBA.

I've found what I do want to study - Oriental medicine. I'm starting school in January to get a MAcOM. That's a Master's of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.

Color me crazy. It's a long 4 year program and not really going to be a walk in the park, never mind I'm old and I only have like 3 brain cells left to rub together. Regardless, I'm all over it and can't wait to start!

We'll talk again in January...and see just how great I think it is by then.

Miscreants in the house

There seems to be a collective effort among the animals that live in this house. They feed off each others' misdeeds.

Yesterday, one of the cats emancipated an unused tampon from the box in the bathroom closet. After taking turns batting it around with some of the other cats, the dogs stole it. They then took turns eviscerating it...removing the cotton from the cardboard tube, and spreading the puff about the floor.

It lays in the dining room...waiting to absorb something.
