Updateyness-ish

Hi Internets. I have been a busy bee for the past few weeks. For some reason the middle of the semester is a packed full of scholarly goodness. I have had five assignments and two group projects due. Thank goodness that next week is spring break. I am looking forward to six glorious days of thinking of things other than what is due next.

JP and I are still being money-conscious and that means being thrifty spenders and not going on overnight weekend trips. Really, though, that is ok because I have a lot to do around the house. I need to do a good spring cleaning, get my new recipes organized and started, and do lots of other odds and ends I just haven't had time to do recently.

I have been reading The Spectrum which is about the spectrum of choices we are able to make when it comes to our lives -- nutrition, meditation/de-stressing, exercise. It is a very comprehensive book and what I like most about it is that it is sound and based in science. I also like that it doesn't tell you what to do, but describes a variety of choices. Really, it is not about being forced to do things -- we are all making choices in our lives. Living (and staying!) at the healthy end of the spectrum is something I am choosing to learn how to do in the next few months. I will keep myself accountable on here.

The best news I have is that my camera is repaired and will get here tomorrow. I've missed it a lot! I cannot wait to get out with it next week.
