July Currently

Hey everyone,

I can't believe tomorrow is already the first day of July!  This summer is already flying by.  I'm excited about linking up with Farley's, at Oh Boy 4th Grade, July Currently.

So this I started taking classes online for my Master's.  Oh my goodness, I knew it was going to be a lot of work, but I had no idea how much work it was going to be.  I feel like I have no time to do anything I enjoy anymore.  Between Master's homework and Lock Smock orders (I'm not complaining about those though! :) ) I feel like I have no time.  I would love to be able to hang out in our pool... or spend some time doodling... or even cleaning the house.  My amazing husband has been so great this year (well he's always so great, but especially this year).  He has had to deal with a stressed out wife that is always doing work, poor guy.  I thought this summer I would have so much extra time to catch up on all the things I haven't been able to do this year and maybe even get some time do paint some furniture or doodle... nope!  I'm taking classes over the summer and the homework has consumed most of my days.  URG!

Anyways, I just keep telling myself, the more classes I take now the sooner I'll be done.  And man I can't wait to be done!

On another note... I have been dying to get Adobe Illustrator but it is so darn expensive.  Does anyone know a program that is like Adobe Illustrator but not as expensive?  I got a wonderful program on my old computer but it wouldn't let me color images or anything, it just fixed the lines up.  I want to be able to draw a picture and scan it, then fix it up in some kind of program.  I'd love any suggestions as to what program I should use... or if anyone knows how to get a discount on Illustrator, I'd be open to that too ;).

I hope you all are having a wonderful summer so far!  It is going by so quickly, so don't forget to stop and enjoy it!
