Dinner Groups

I've discovered one of the best things in life--the dinner group. There are eight of us that meet M-Th. You only cook once every-other week get have 7 meals cooked for you in exchange. There nothing like knowing that a hot meal is waiting for you at the end of the day. We just got a ninth member (Welcome!), and it's built-in fun-time to every day.

There you are, eating a hot meal, laughing your guts out (not always congruous with eating), and loving every minute.

It doesn't get much better than that!

Closer than I thought!

So, I had this long-standing idea that I still needed 2-3 more classes to fulfill by coursework requirements for my degree. I got the happiest surprise yesterday when I counted them up and actually found that when this semester is over, I will be DONE with my classes, and with one to spare!

Wa-hoo!


Now, it's just me and that thesis.

Bring it on!

New Year's Resolutions

Alright--I'm going for broke this year, and I am welcoming all encouraging comments and support of any means.

1. I want to go to bed earlier this year (I will refrain from defining 'earlier' for you as that will reveal how un-early I've been going to bed)

2. No junk food until Easter (though I will allow myself one day a month...'cause everyone needs a break!)

3. Complete at least one triathlon over the summer

These are all motivated from the desire to be more healthy. Wish me luck!
