May madness
May 4th, 2009
I think I only have one reader (Hi Ruby Jean!), but she’s the equivalent of at least 1000 wonderful readers, so I thought I’d give her and you an update. The last few weeks have been some of the busiest in my life. After a blissful few days visiting my sweetie and watching him receive his pilot’s wings, I came back home going full steam ahead to wrap things up at my job. After a maddening 60 hour week and some extra work this weekend, including staying up to 2am last night writing one last grant proposal, I was able to say good bye to my colleagues today in good conscience. It feels good to be able to focus on Project Wedding and Project Move now. We are nearly in the single digit countdown to getting hitched. Then I’m off to my Hawaiian honeymoon, followed by a month living out of a military hotel at a training base, and then (hopefully) buying a home and moving to Vegas. This will be quite a summer!!
All this to say… among the many changes I’m working on is starting a new blog, hopefully one with good design and photographs (with the sweet new camera we’ve gotten for a wedding present!), one that’s more focused on my passions (cooking, for starters), one that better reflects who I am. I’ll not have it up and going before mid-June at the earliest, so I plan to post here a few more times. My plan is to say farewell to this nice little account by mid-July. Stay tuned!
Weight Loss Postscript: I’ve discovered a sweet little app for the iPhone (which was a nice wedding gift from my sweet man) - it’s called “Lose It” and is a free food diary application. It will track your weight loss progress, your calories, and various nutrients; its list of foods is fairly robust, and you have the option of creating new foods, adding recipes, etc. I’ll never have to pay for WW Online again with this app!
