oh my...

I can't believe how long it has been since I've posted. Sorry... :o(

Good news: MICROBIOLOGY IS OVER TONIGHT! I have my final at 7 - 9:50 pm, and cannot wait to celebrate officially! Overall, I'm glad that I decided to take the class this summer instead of including it into my already busy schedule next quarter... my stress level will be lower (I hope).

Jesse, the chanimals and I are good. We have no big plans for my big week off... actually... we need to pull weeds.

The temperatures here in Ohio are cooling down which is fantastic news. I can't wait to see the leaves change colors and to wear sweatshirts :o) Soon, Thanksgiving will be here, and followed by Christmas. No big plans for either holiday.

My gym has been treating me well... I go pretty much 6 days a week. I seriously itch to get out of the house  and sweat my stress out. I am following an eating plan as well as endurance training twice a week and cardio the other days. We'll see how well I can keep everything together once "real" school starts in the Fall!!! I'm hoping that I'll be able to continue with the habits that I've set. Since the beginning of June, I'm down 17 lbs... pretty proud of that. No real "goal weight" in mind... I just want to be healthy and feel better in the clothes that I have. *I must admit it has been nice to get into jeans and not have to squat several times to be able to walk normally in them.

Oh! Of all the things I would hate to have... a friggin' squirrel nest has popped up in one of our large backyard trees. Great... just what I need, more rodents for the dogs to chase.

So... other than that, no real news. Hopefully I'll have something fun to tell you in a few days? Maybe Jesse will finally take me to the Columbus Zoo? Or maybe we'll go to a baseball game? Or maybe we'll go camping? Or maybe... maybe we'll do something to enjoy ourselves during my one week of freedom!

Love from Columbus -
:o)
