Various happenings.

Easter was a blast with my family this time around. Grandma and Grandpa Hodson were there as well. It was nice to spend some time with them. We had our customary 20 minute long search for the last missing egg and Annie found it! Normally we give up. Annie and I were a team: I was the arms and she was the legs. The girls and I also had a "who can get the biggest wad of gum in our mouth" contest. I was the winner. I'll have to post pictures later.

I'm heading into finals again. I've got my stats one tonight. It'll be nice to have the most stressful one out of the way first. If I can pass the class then it will waive the stats requirement for my minor (psychology, I just declared it). I was talking to my adviser and found out that while I only have four classes left to finish all the requirements for my major I still need 26 credit hours! What a joke! So I'm squeezing in a psych minor just for fun.

Annie managed to trip on flat ground and dislocate her shoulder a few weeks ago. I was the only emergency contact they could get a hold of. I'm glad I decided to answer my phone even though I was at work! Then exactly one week later Mom was taking the girls to school and they got rear-ended. I'm hoping we can all make it through a week without anything else exploding.

About three weeks ago I was at work (at the library) and my knee locked up and I had to pop it out. I finally made it to the doctor to find out that my knees are really inflamed and have fluid backing up in them. She referred me to a physical therapist and now I have to do physical therapy twice a week for a month, then hopefully if it gets better I can be moved down to once a week. The physical therapist thinks I have tendinitis going all down my left leg and in my knee in the right. I'm just hoping it starts going away soon. My manager at the library told me I'm not allowed to go on rounds anymore until she gets written consent from the doctors. Yeesh. At least this is making it so I'm getting all my homework done in advance since I can't move very well!

I also donated my hair to Locks of Love again. The lady cutting my hair decided to take it upon herself to cut another three inches off after she cut off the ponytail. So I'm trying to figure out what to do with short hair. After that I dyed it a dark purple-y red and I love it! This has inspired me to be more adventurous with my hair.

That's all the excitement in the Bowen world for now. I'll try to remember to upload pictures some day soon as well.
