Camp ground fish dinner

Yesterday at my parents' house, my mom made fish (that my dad caught) on a campsite skillet.
It tastes absolutely yummy!
My mom is a pro. Although I think she burned an eyebrow in the process. :)

The purpose of golden retrievers

This is what my doggy does. He ignores a toy until the said toy finds its way under the couch. At that point, it becomes my dog's mission in life to retrieve THAT toy.

He would spend hours doing this if we didn't have mercy on him. But I guess that's why they call them Retrievers.

Husbands can be so sweet

I came home from work today, only to find a clean and organized house, laundry done, and a delicious dinner waiting for me. I love my hubby. He is so kind and thoughtful. What a man!
We ate out on our deck, where I had a nice view of my luscious lettuce.
It was quite a view. I love dinners out on our deck.
And of course, while we were eating, this big fella was begging for food.
(Kad sam danas došla kuci sa posla, dočekala me večera i čista kuća. Moj dragi je sve pripremio za mene. Baš sam našla sebi divnog supruga. Dok smo večerali, gledali smo našu baštu, u kojoj je opet nikla majkina salata. A ćuko je nas gledao i molio za koji zalogaj.)

A day in the life of an MBA student... - UPDATED

1. Review for the quiz on Friday. Read the study guide 10 times if needed - I want to finish with a bang. - Not quite there yet. Reviewed it once. Hope I get a chance to read through it a few more times tomorrow during my lunch break.
   
2. Read the three assigned articles for the class on Friday and take notes on key lessons. - Read one of the articles. Two more to go.
   
3. Complete in-class team peer evaluations, plus a self-evaluation. - Done! Ready to be turned in.
   
4. Meet my team mates to review our final team project. Help with editing and finalizing. - Done! Reviewed and edited the paper. Wrote the introduction and added the cover page. Sent out to team.
   
5. Import audiobook (a textbook for my class in Italy) into my iTunes. I am not going to spend my time in Italy with my nose in the book. Instead, I will explore the scenery while listenting to the textbook on leadership. - Imported 6 out of 10 discs. May or may not finish tonight.
   

I think this is good for now. I will update on my progress later in the evening. - So I didn't quite make it. But hopefully I can complete the rest of it tomorrow. Not bad...

(What? You wanted to know what's going on in my life. Well, here it is.)

Happy Mother's Day!

Today I surprised my mom in the morning, bringing her a big bouquet of flowers.
Of course we had to take a group mother/daughters photo. My cousin Budo was there too, so we all had a hearty breakfast, some laughs, and then we even got to Skype with family in Switzerland.
Then I drove over to my mother-in-laws, and at first she didn't open the door, so I was going to leave the flowers and the card on her porch. I just LOVE the color of these flowers.
But then she got to the door and so I spent some time with her. Here she is talking to Jeff on the phone.
And here is Izzie, my mother-in-law's cute little doggy.
And now, back to homework...

This past week

Monday - Homework galore.
Tuesday - Spent time with my family. It's a typical Tuesday night - family dinner, watching TV and doing crafty stuff.
I had a blast knitting on my dad's fisherman rocking chair. I am very fidgety by nature.Wednesday - Met with my team to work on our class project. Since it was Cinco de Mayo, we naturally met at a Mexican restaurant, where we had good food and margaritas while going over our work.

Emily, Lisa, and Ann are super-gals.

Thursday - Came home and started reading a book for class. Fell asleep.
Friday - Had class, came home and crashed.
Saturday - Had class, came home and crashed.
Between the new job, class work, family and house work, I've been exhausted. I am really hoping that things turn around here soon. I don't like feeling pooped all the time.

The storm is a-brewin'

I love temperamental May weather. One moment, it's a bright sunshiny day, the next, the skies get ominous. The pictures below don't do it justice.
Such a contrast! I love sun-lit tree branches against a darkening sky, while the wind is promising mayhem. And then it rains. Really hard.
And when it's dark and rainy outside, I like to sit by an open window, knit and listen to podcasts.
This is some serious bliss I've been waiting for in this past week. Been too busy. Can't let that happen again.
I'll be back with more.
