Hi Ladies.

I'm popping through while in the process of writing a paper for a class. Thankfully I graduate May 9th, so the end is in sight. This semester I have two nursing courses, 270 hours of clinical (in the emergency dept !), a psych course, an anatomy course, plus work. I don't have a life. *lol*

On the plus side though, I joined one of those 30 min cross training gyms with my youngest and we are doing well with it. I lost 2 lbs last week. *doing the happy dance*
I also have other news--I met someone! Someone who likes me just the way I am, extra weight and all, and who seems to share many of my core beliefs. If things continue to blossom, I may just have found a keeper. *gete* The very interesting thing is that I decided to relocate to Nova Scotia about two years ago, and he lives in New Brunswick, a short 2.5 hour ferry ride across the Bay of Fundy from the area I want to settle in. He's self employed and actually amenable to move to NS with me, should things work out. I'm excited, but also definitely afraid of getting hurt. He is definitely ready to settle down though, so I need not worry about the commitmentphobic blues. I can't move for a bit over two years due to a work commitment, but that just gives us plenty of time to get to know each other.

Hiya ladies,

For the acronym impaired (this means YOU Susan, lol) Kat's *gete* means "grinning ear to ear" ...

Marti - just wait til Jhanai's in Jr. High. Just about everything you do will embarrass her. But then they get over it around.... age 22, lol. I missed Shanna's picture but I'll check it out in a few minutes.

Kat - Yay on your weight loss. Also, I am so very happy for you in the romance department. I was overweight when Neal and I met, too, but he always picked women with "a little meat on their bones". Being in love is wonderful, isn't it? How are the kids accepting him? What quality about him do you like best?

Hi to the others.

I'm going grocery shopping today after I get next week's menus planned out. I've been looking around for point-friendly recipes to try. Susan - I forgot about the casserole recipe, but will try to post it later.

Katie is off with the Junior class on a field trip to Indianapolis. They are going to a theatre to see "Cats" - something tells me it won't be the NYC cast, lol.

Have a good (Ash) Wednesday.
Jana
