My critical thinking class is over today.  I have decided that this class was just a bunch of B.S.  None of the homework was based out of the books.  Even up to the end I was freaking out because I couldn’t find answers to stuff.  I just made stuff up and posted it and then received good grades.  I don’t get it.  I don’t get the point of this class.  If critical thinking is learning how to make stuff up to get out of a situation, than I’m aces.  I know it was supposed to help us properly identify problems and then implement solutions.  It just didn’t feel like that is what I learned.  It felt like a really boring creative writing class.  Can I go shoot something now?  Blu, where are you???

I turned 30 on March 6^th.  While going through my pictures to download I found it sad that I have pictures of the dog’s birthday, but none from mine.  Dave and I had dinner at Dave & Busters with my sister, brother-in-law, and my niece.  My nephew joined us after we were mostly done.  We had a great dinner and then played games in the back.  For those of you who don’t know what Dave & Busters is, it’s like Chuck E Cheese’s for adults with a great restaurant and bar.    It's one of my favorite restaurants.  I love the food and there's gaming to be done there.  What more can a girl ask for???

The weekend before my birthday Dave, the kids and I went to the San Diego Zoo and checked out one of the museums.  They had an exhibit of Pompeii, Italy which I found fascinating since I used it for a report I did on volcanoes last year.  It's so strange to see molds of people who died thousands of years ago in a volcano eruption.  If you haven't seen any images, look it up.  It is truely facinating.

Ryan got his first cell phone.  Since it has MP3 capabilities, I tried to get that to work, but between trying to convert iTunes purchased songs into MP3’s and dealing with the memory card that my computer can’t seem to find, I gave up for today.  I don't know if the disks are bad.  I don't know if I am just a tard who can't seem to figure out the simple stuff.  I tried three different programs.  I really don't want to do the buring of CDs just to turn around and rip the music off, but I may have to.  At least I have CD-RW so I'm not wasting CDs.

On the gaming side, Dave and I are participating in the Halo 3 doubles tournament with the Gamerdads.  We won the first round, but Dave totally carried me.  I’m so out of practice.  I need to play a whole bunch before our next match next week.  I’m also playing Lost Odyssey which I was surprised with how much I like it.  We have a couple of games coming from Gamefly and RSV2 comes out soon.  I don’t know when I will be able to play everything with school and all.

Dave and I are officially dieting.  I typically like to get my weight back under control before I have to buy all new clothes.  I barely caught it this time.  Some of my pants really hurt me, but I think this will be good for the both of us.  We’ve been gaining that happy couple weight.  He’s being a trouper with the dieting/changing eating habits thing.  We’ve also rejoined the gym.  Hopefully all of my pants will fit again soon.
