I'm so happy!

Some days I just feel so happy. I rarely had them while I was in school this semester, but now that I am a drop-out I feel great! The sun is actually shining a bit today, it's in the 50's, and the snow is almost entirely melted. Hooray!
Today is mom and dad's 32nd anniversary. Dad surprised mom with a bouquet of tulips at work, and now they are off to a movie and dinner. First they are going to the pet store to look at a dog mom wants. She has really been wanting a miniature daschund since she saw my aunt Kellie's little dog. Dad doesn't want a dog, but I'm sure that mom will prevail if she wants it bad enough. Kacey will be thrilled. As long as I don't have to clean up the poo I am okay with it.
I went and visited one of my former professors today, whom I just love. She is such an inspiration to me, and when I am a teacher I hope I am just like her. She is from Madrid, Spain and her name is Margarita Garcia-Notario. She and I have become friends over the last year. What I love about her is that she genuinely wants her students to understand- grades are not important. She doesn't stop being your teacher when the hour is up. You can call her anytime with questions or problems, and she will do anything she can to help. I hope I'm like that with my future students.
I had a dream last night that I was dating a black rap star. I have been having wierd dreams about dating very unsavory characters lately. What does this mean?
Speaking of unsavory characters, Joey and I are still not divorced. This may sound shady to some of you, or all of you, but I am working towards a quickie Mexican divorce. I know a guy (doesn't every shady deal start with that statement) who's been divorced 8 times. Believe it or not, he is a member of the branch presidency up here. We seriously live in the twilight zone. Anyway, he has this attorney in Mexico who does your divorce for $350, and you are divorced within like 3 weeks. While it doesn't seem possible, it is legal and binding in the U.S. I'm not even going to bother telling Joey. I'll just forge his signature. Then one day he'll call and I'll say "oh, by the way, we're divorced." As long as he's not paying for it he'll be thrilled. While $350 seems like small potatoes to many people, it is in fact very big potatoes to me. As soon as I have $350 I'm going to do it. I've just been carrying this burden around for so long! I need to be rid of him forever. I have to say that despite all of the anguish and sorrow, one day in the near future I think I will thank Joey for showing me what I'm really made of. Without this experience I wouldn't have known just how tough I can be if I have to. I do feel a little vindication knowing that I am reaching for the stars and he is reaching for the sewer- which is where he's always been most comfortable anyway. Hee hee.
I am going through a berry-loving phase right now. I always love berries, but I am craving them all the time these days! I want to bake berries into everything. I am off to the market in a few minutes to buy some blueberries so that I can make Juanita Beach's blueberry muffins. They are the best muffins ever! I love them. No one can have any of them when I bake them- they're just for me. Chocolate has no power over me- baked goods are my weakness! I ordered 25 strawberry plants for my garden. I hope I can actually grow th
