Oh the time... the time!

I hate when I have a project due, and the brain fails to function.

Mom will say, "Let me guess, it's Tuesday."

YUP!! :)

So, I am ruminating, and well, procrastinating. :)

But the time has flown, and who can believe that Ruth has reached the age of REAL jewelry !?!

Yuppers! Last year, Ruth wanted to get earrings, pierced ear kind, and her mother, that is me, said "No, you're too young." But, in my mind, I was thinking, "You can't because that means you will be growing up, You'll no longer be my baby, and, oh my gosh, I will need to set new rules!". Yada yada.
But, when she did so well last year in achieving high marks consistently, I gave in and said, "Okay, girlfriend, you earned them."

So, here she is, Miss Ruth and her pierced ears:

The down side, she wanted September's el fake-o sapphire studs, which was okay by me , and they were all out! (I had saved up my pretty pennies.) How sad. :( But, she settled for March, which is a light blue, I don't know what stone is called, and they glisten and shine, and she was happy. :) Of course, today the lesson learned is what a "permanent choice" is. She realized maybe she didn't want to keep them in, but recalled the lady saying "Don't take them out until Halloween." (She can't wait for black kitty earrings!)

By the way, she had them both done at the same time, so she's not lopsided like some people we know. :) Christie, thanks for being the first and so your mom could give me a bit of advice on how horrible it is to hold a child down. Ruth was given the choice, and thankfully said she'd like them done at the same time. :) So, one on each side, and a little jump from Ruth, and Voila' !

Okay, okay, my brain is working now. I guess I can go and write about utilitarian conservationism, biocentric preservation, and modern evironmentalism. Who remembers that I was afraid of Algebra? Nope, it's Science that Iam feeling dumb in. But, the plus side, the teacher said he thought I got the concept of the criteria for reconstruction of ecosystems....

UGH, big words! But, back to them I go!

Only 4 hours left and counting....
