Well, to be fair, it IS only 10 a.m., after all. I suppose I should have called it "Amanda's busy morning," but I'm pretty sure my day is only going to pick up after this.
Here's what I've done so far:
1. Started my car, or attempted to. When I got in my car this morning, the battery turned on, but the alternator didn't want to turn. After a quick plea to my car's benevolent spirit, I was successful in starting the car.
2. Took the girls to see Dr. M, their vet. Callie pitched a fit and had the hardest time getting into her carrier that she's ever had in her life. But I got her in. Beatrice was too shocked by Callie's behavior to put up much of a fight in her carrier. Got to the vet, saw Dr. M, and got two clean bills of health! :) They may not look it, but both girls are under 10 pounds, which is perfect. They've both lost a little weight since their last visit, so Dr. M was very happy with that progress. He was amused by Beatrice's little foray with a tiny wasp yesterday (she grabbed it in her paws, sprang back and ran away to lick her foot), but saw no swelling or any allergic reaction. Both girls are getting old enough to start a regular teeth-brushing regimen every night to prevent the need for annual cleanings.
3. Came home and showered. Sliced the back of my upper thigh while shaving. The amount of blood that came from that little slice was astonishing. Meh. So now I have a Band-Aid on the back of my leg...I'm not sure I've ever had to put a Band-Aid there before, come to think of it. It's a little awkward, but not too bad, lol. I just don't want to bleed on my clothes. Speaking of clothes, I have found the cutest outfit for the first day of classes today. I'll look very teacherly.
4. For breakfast, I had a nice bowl of Smart Start maple brown sugar. Although it touts itself as the healthiest cereal, it's not, but it is delicious and is healthier than other options out there. I've got a sweet tooth in the morning, so I'm not much in the mood for savory tastes and will actually feel quite ill if I start my day with a big plate of eggs and bacon. Sometimes these more adult cereals aren't sweet enough to hold my interest, but I was impressed with this particular cereal. I think it'll be a staple. And hopefully will keep me feeling topped-off throughout the day until lunchtime at least! It has these great bunches of grain, which I think should help.
Today is the first day of school!! :) This semester is significant for me because it is the first time I'll step foot on Auburn University soil and NOT have to take classes. I'm only teaching here and studying for my exams. Amanda is a happy girl. Nervous, anxious, yes. But happy and excited to get herself ABD finally (All But Dissertation).
Here's to AY 2008-9! :)

YAY for your first day! Hope it's a great one!
Do you remember when we were in Savannah and Carly cut her leg shaving? For some reason, she put on her clothes anyway and THEN asked for a band-aid so by then there was already blood all over her skirt.
Wow - busy morning!
Sure it was your alternator and not your starter going bad?
