Spring Classes

So, I finally caught up with my Dean to get her signature on my course request! It was all via email... but hey it's done.

I will be taking:

Spanish for Health Professionals (took 4 years in HS...hoping this will be fairly easy)
Advanced Algebra (Easy)
Nutrition (sounds easy, but is supposed to be a rough course)
and Chemistry (I love Chem...should not be too intense)

So, all in all the semester looks like a lot of work, but nothing insurmountable!

Catchin up

So I am catching up with the times...

All of my lovely blogger friends have one of these counter thingies... so here is mine. Woefully past due. I didn't realize it was read this often!

Love you all!

Thankful

I am wide awake at 4am fighting insomnia, as usual. Tonight is different though. I am not fretting over bills, Dr appts, moving, school, or any of the normal things that keep me up at night. Tonight I am watching Sue sleep, and I feel blessed. We are in TN with my family, celebrating another Christmas together.

We spent the past two days baking cookies, making truffles, cleaning the house for all of the Brown clan to come over for Christmas dinner. We did it together and have enjoyed sharing a domestic kind of bliss... together.

I think I lose sight of that sometimes. I get so wrapped up in the "normal stresses" that I forget to enjoy today. I am enjoying tonight greatly. Sue has the cutest little snore and I am being insanely mean by tickling her nose and giggling as she rubs it.

I know tomorrow, well later today, will be a flurry of relatives and cooking. So, I am enjoying the calm and quiet that only 4am can bring.

Merry Christmas everyone. I wish you all the peace that I feel right now!

p.s. just looked up my grades for the semester and am exceedingly happy!!!!
