Wow - a whole week has passed!

Time flies when you're having fun - I guess. I feel awful. I have a bad case of laryngitis and have had to "talk" on the phone today, embarrassed and having to apologize for my current condition. The medicine I'm taking makes me nauseous (or maybe it was the EasyMac I had for my afternoon snack). Either way, I'm so glad this work day is almost over!

I'm excited for a bunch of reasons, though:
1) Michael Buble was fantastic last night! We had such a great time!
2) Mal's coming to spend a few days with us, and she is always such a kick! Tonight we're having dinner at Nacho Mama's.
3) After our Mexican outing, we are going to hurry up, do homework, take showers, etc. so we can get cozy for the 2nd to last episode of this season's "Project Runway". woot! As a side note: "Workout" is coming back for another season and I couldn't be MORE excited! Jackie Warner inspired me and TJ when we were at the height of our gym days. Hopefully, by watching her each week, we'll get inspired again to kick our workout routines into high gear. We're putting all our bets on this new P90X routine that should be arriving on our doorstep any day now... we'll see.
4) Friday will be a GIGANTICO day for TJ in so many ways. Maybe my stomach is nauseous with anxiety. More on that in a few days.........
5) We're starting our water heater project this weekend. This will be the first major renovation that we're completing as a married couple in our house. Of course, we're doing it the cheap & easy way by having TJ's uncle do the job. But, he's very good at what he does - so, let's keep our finger's crossed that our house doesn't flood or burn down during this project.
6) I also start volunteering this Saturday. I'm excited/nervous, as I should be, I suppose.

I wish I had more time to see my family & friends. :/ It sucks, but everything I'm doing with my time right now is out of sheer necessity. School/career building takes up SO much time, and leaves me with very little space to fit in friends & family, especially those that are out of town. I wish there was a better way, but for now, I'm doing the best I can. Thank goodness for email and facebook! :P

It's almost time to shut it down here at work. I gotta go pick up TJ (we're attempting to save gas money by carpooling ... it's working so far, I think!) ciao ciao!
