Say anything twice, just don’t yell…

I am inendated with school work. I am burried under tons of books and come up long enough to get air. At least that is what it feels like.

At work I am super busy now that we have a lot more people in my group (my group size trippled). Last weekend I spent just about every waking hour in front of a school book and I am continuing this process during the week as well. It is not fun.

My running has suffered, but I will pick that back up, hopefully after the quarter is over (Dec 23rd). Tori said that finishing this quarter will be like a birthday present for me and I said yes it will be!

Well, I just wanted to wave at everyone real quick and let you know I am thinking about you all.

I showed your picture to everyone willing to look…ok, ok, not really, but I did show it around like a proud mama…haha…You look very professional in that picture. It all flows together so well, your hair, earrings, glasses, and the blouse. Very, very nice! My friend Tom wanted to know if you were related to the mailman, because you didn’t look anything like me. *pout* I kicked him!

Brian said I could look like that too, all I had to do to my hair what you did to yours. SOOO….You need to come over here to show me your hair(y) tricks!

Nothing new to report here. I registered for my last set of classes at Columbus State today. If everything goes well, I’ll be graduating March 20th. I am sooo excited and we’ll have a little party. You gals are welcome to attend! Of course I have to make it through this set of classes first, urgh. Then through the next set *double urgh*, but I’ll get there, eventually lol

Well, I better get going. I just wanted to comment in length on my pretty sister.

P.s.: Mutti, I found your bracelet. It had fallen between the kitchen island and the water bottles. I will send it off as soon as I get the chance. (Going with my luck, you might not get it until you come over again next year )

The last week was very very busy. I had two exams and some major homework assignments due. On top of that I pulled my hamstring on (last) Monday and the race was that following Sunday (yesterday). Urgh.

But I made it through the week. Got an A on one of the tests and hope for a C or better on the other one and my homework assignments. Keep your fingers crossed!

I ran the 1/2 marathon yesterday. It was very, very cold out. 34 degrees! But I had planned accordingly and wasn’t too cold. After mile four my hamstring started to hurt and after mile 5 I was ready to quit. One of the MiTers that I had run with before made me run with her and her friends. That made me realize that my leg wasn’t getting any worse and ran from mile to mile. I finished 6 minutes behind my PR (personal record), but I got my medal. And that’s all that matters, right?

No running for me for a week and then I’ll start back up with the bike, then move to the ellipitical rider. Hopefully in two weeks I’ll be able to go back out and run a couple of miles. The pain is not too bad as long as I don’t walk too much, the more I walk, the tighter the hamstring gets.

Well, that’s all for now. I hope everyone has a great week. HEAL

Not sure how long it will be, but I ordered your subscription to the Bead&Button magazine. You should receive a total of 6 magazines. I hope you enjoy them ) (Order #55963053 Confirmation)

Tori got her pictures back yesterday from school.
