How to be a Biblical Archaeologist

I don't know why I even bother sometimes looking at these websites. I look in hopes maybe I can go one of these days or dream about the perfect college. Archaeology has been one of my biggest dreams since I was little. I've had some courses with it already from a couple colleges and that is as much I have achieved. Transcripts are a pain to get with 5 colleges behind my belt. Someone told me today I could get unofficial scripts and have them sent to me and then fax them over. That might be cheaper?
I should not be wallowing in self pity. And I need to stop crying... Getting married I feel sets me back for my dream. It may not be true but ever since we married my dreams just keep getting pushed further back. Besides it will be harder, as a married couple and I'm trying to go overseas for biblical digs. On a good note, being married has opened up the many different colleges I have attended so far. There may still be a possibility in archaeology studies through Lycoming College. But that requires to move to Pennsylvania. And we may still be going there around April time to visit. Who knows, only God. We both agree we want to get away from CA and make a new life somewhere else. Even Archaeology is number 1 on my list for studies, I'm really unsure what else I may like to do for a career. I need some other ideas that way I don't take away my marriage just because of science.
Now I did find this one college - http://www.nwc.edu/display/81 They offer some archaeology/ history classes online! Plus they have other possibilities for degrees especially if I do fall back for something else.
I ask for Prayer big time and any advice!

Commit your actions to the lord and your actions will succeed - Proverbs 16:3 NLT

Need a blanket?

Ok, a little inspiration had hit me today while I was watching Anthony Bourdains Bizarre Foods on Travel Channel. I love chrochet and sometimes I wonder why it is an addicting hobby and why I do it. Just to suffice for boredom? Or is it because I need to be doing it to be helping others out. Anthony is in Ethiopa today and that reminded me that Africa/Ethiopia area could always use the help.
Besides I usually make a bunch of different blankets that I have no room for or where to put them. Most of the time I'm giving them away anyhow.
God gave me a great skill and I truly need to use my talents to help others.
I feel that way about singing but thats a different story.
So I am on the lookout on how or what address I need to send people there some of my blankets or anything else for that matter.
If anyone knows where I can get this information, that would be awesome! Thanks!

Day plans

Wow! How time flies! Today is a Monday Feb. 9th of 2009.
Seems like every year becomes faster to go through.
Well, today I have a few plans to do.
Barney is going in to the vet this morning at 10:30 to get his stitches out. It has been 2 weeks already since he had his surgery to get an ugly tumor off his leg.
He seems to be alright, sleeps a lot! His thyroid is very low which causes a dog to not want to do much at all. But what do you expect from a 15 year old dog who does not care for playing any more. This morning I riled him up a bit. He loves towels! Especially after it rains and he gets a little wet from being outside. Bring out the towel, say "Towel" really loud and gets excited. It's funny and cute. He comes bounces up and rubs his head all over towel against your legs and I'm all rubbing him down from the rain and he just eats it up! He sometimes makes funny noises like he is enjoying the massage of the towel on his back.

I just realized I can't lift the dog up into the truck! Big dog, bad back....Called back ..rescheduled for tomorrow at 9am.

Randy is coming home later today so I know I need to pick up a few grocery items for his dinner meal at work. I have to hunt down my good boots. They have been missing for a while. That would not be good to go waste money on a new pair right away when they could be hiding in the trunk of the car.
Hey, the sun is coming out for a while! Maybe I'll go to the beach later on if it stays up!
I heard lightening this morning at 8am. Well food is done and I'll be back later.
