Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's day to all the mothers out there. You are much appreciated. You have formed the lives of all the wonderful people I know. For those that are newer mothers that I am blessed to know, your children are so lucky!I hope to one day have the opportunity to be a mother so I can know how inspiring and special it is to mold a child into greatness! :)

4 days left

I can't believe it! Only 4 days until I am done with school!! While I would like to say it will be forever, I know the economy may drive me to one day go back to school to achieve my MBA. For now, my Bachelor's degree in Business Management degree will have to do. My final assignment is a team assignment. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), my team mates all still have two classes left. I doubled up my classes back in December and in February so that I could graduate 05/16/2011 rather than 07/25/2011. I wanted my summer time!
I know that I will be one of those people that will have withdrawls.. thinking "shouldn't I be doing something tonight?" After 3 years and 8 months, school has become a habit. How did everyone else cope? :)
I'm sure I will find a way!

End of Yoga

Well, tomorrow ends the 2 month running of Yoga. Sad to say, I will miss it. I will miss the sweating, throbbing muscle pain, and the constant question of "has it been an hour and a half yet?". I think I have noticed improved flexibility and more muscle tone. I can't wait until the next Groupon deal of discounted Yoga.
I have started running again. We'll see how long this goes. I have been running four days in a row. Yay me! I am nowhere near running a marathon, but let's hope I can continue.

Failed at resolution

So remember that resolution I made about posting frequently? Well, evidently, I failed. Perhaps it is because not many people are posting anymore. At least I can do a quick summary.
I got a great deal on Groupon for Yoga in Palo Alto. 25 classes for $25. I instantly started going. I thought "25 classes to use within 2 months? I will run out before the two months are up!" Lo and behold, I have two weeks left and 9 classes left. If it was closer to my work, I might have been able to go more often. It's tough because on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, the classes are either at 5 PM or 7 PM. I get off work at 5, so the 5 PM class doesn't work. If I go to the 7 PM class, what will I do for 2 hours? So I have only been going on Tuesday and Thursday. I have not lost any weight, but I do see a restructuring of my body shape. My muscles are definitely stronger and more defined.
Nick and I have been doing various things with our time. We try not to spend money, but that is really tough here in the bay area! We have been trying to start exercising again. Our gym membership expires on 04/07/2011, so we will have to do some "shopping" for a new gym. I dislike the 24 hr fitnesses that are available to us. They have poor air circulation and smell really bad. Hopefully, we can find a good gym for a good price.
That should be all for now. Hopefully I will update shortly.

New cat!

10 days between my last post.. not too bad, right? I have been busy doing school work. One exciting thing is that we got a new cat. Her name is Josie and we got her at the Nine Lives Foundation. Since the facility is closing down in June due to lack of funding, all cats over 6 months old that have been fixed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped, were available at the great price of $11! The cat we had originally picked out online ended up being a biter. No thanks! After looking at 20+ cats, we ended up finding Josie... well, she found us. I sat down to look at all cats closer, and Josie crawled on my lap and laid down. She sat like that for 5 minutes until it was time to go. She is the one! We actually adopted her to play with Molly, but I think that she'll be a great lap cat, too. :)

I'm not worthy to blog!

A person who blogs is one that updates their blog at least once a week, right? Well, it has been two months for me! That is pathetic! Especially since the holidays happened over the last two months. Perhaps I could say that I was "too busy" throughout the holidays to write. Yes! Yes! I like that excuse! :)
Let's see if I can summarize the past few months.
November- Thanksgiving was great. Lots of food and school. (what else is new, right?)
December- I was able to complete all my Christmas shopping on time. Unless everyone was being extra nice, I believe that all liked my gifts. The whole month of December was a full calendar of events. Christmas parties right and left; Social events; Rachel coming to town (the best part)! I love the holidays because they are filled with family, friends, and movies! I saw so much of all three that I miss them while sitting at home in the month of January.
January- I am continuing with school. I graduate on 05/16/11, so only 4 more months. Too many essays and wasting of my personal time. As soon as school is out, no more essays. The downside is the monthly payments that I will have to pay. Hopefully I will be able to get more money! Time to go buy a lottery ticket.
My new years resolution for this year is to blog more. I hope I can keep that resolution! Thank you all who still read my blog!

Birthday

I wish I could say that I have had such a busy and hectic life that I haven't had time to write. It's actually quite the opposite! Our married life has been terrific, but we haven't been up to too much. The main reason for that is because of all the school work I have to do on a daily basis. Yep.. still in school. Getting REALLY tired of it. It is the reminder from my parents and Nick on a weekly basis that I am almost there that keeps me motivated because I simply have lost all my personal motivation. I am so close to the end, yet I dread doing school work every day. It is harder and harder to write my essays because I simply stopped caring about the material I am learning. I don't know how everyone with college degrees completed their schooling! So anyways, I am looking forward to May 16 where I will no longer have to EVER do any school work again.
On a happy note, I just had my birthday on 11/06. I asked for a low key day, so spending time with Nick and my parents was perfect. Nick gave me a super shocking "family" gift: an iPAD! So exciting. I can't wait to download tons of aps on it!
