Guys, I am so sorry for the almost week long break I took from blogging! My test went well (at least I think… but let’s wait until I get the grade) and Tom and I went away for the weekend with our dogs. It was so great. In fact, I have some pictures to share as soon as I get the hard drive back from Tom’s co worker.
We came back on Sunday night and went to bed early. Yesterday I hit the gym bright and early and learned a couple new machines – I even tried the rowing machine which I have never done before. I liked it – burned 120 calories in 15 minutes! That thing is amazing. I’m going to need to get a pair of gloves or something, though, because my hands were rubbed raw from pulling the wooden bar so much.
I wanted to go back to the gym today but I am getting this allergy/cold thing (not sure which one just yet) and feeling pretty gross. I tell you, when does the sickness end?! It seems like everyone keeps getting sick over and over again. STOP IT POLLEN.
In other news, I have received two acceptance letters to law school so far, with scholarships to both schools! One is out of state and I will not be accepting it since I have received acceptance from one school (so far.. hopefully the rest will accept me also) that is in state. In state means cheaper tuition and less money I will have to take out in loans. Pllllllease keep your fingers crossed for me! I still haven’t heard from my top school but I should be hearing in the next few weeks. We would be okay with going to the in state school I’ve been accepted to so far, but it’s not as close to our parents’ homes, the beach, our nephew, etc. as my top choice is. As Rachie put it, my top choice is the “perfect place” for us. Plus Tom could transfer within his company and continue to create cad drawings instead of starting all over at another company.
I promise to be better with updating and commenting. For the record, I really do read your blogs on a regular basis. It’s just the commenting that I’m bad at sometimes. I guess that’s why I don’t get upset when people comment on my site all the time. Life is busy and hectic, and people’s first priority isn’t to visit the blog!

Ooh is the rowing machine that good? I’ve never used it before but always wanted to try.

I was all about to say, Oh, good that you can go back to the gym since you’re not sick!…but apparently, you still are. Boo.
But YESSSS! on the law schools, I am proud of you! Scholarships are amazing. And I’m sure all will go well with the school you’re waiting on.

keeping my fingers crossed that you hear from your top school! i need to be more committed to the gym, as you are. i’m like “i want to lose weight” but i eat like 15 cookies at a time, probably twice a day. give me your motivation!

It is that good! I read in Shape Magazine (or was it Self? I don’t remember…) that it can burn something like 500+ calories per hour and that’s why I wanted to try it out. I highly recommend it :)

It was, but I also have felt for awhile that I need to let people know that YES, I’M READING but unfortunately not always able to comment – especially when I’m reading during class, when I’m supposed to be paying attention to lecture.

Thanks! I think there’s about a 50/50 chance, but I’m really hoping.

I’m feeling a lot better now! I think it was allergies. The downpour we had a couple days ago seemed to help remove a lot of the pollen around our apartment and on campus. Thanks for the congrats :)

Sure, I’ll just bottle it up and send it your way! :) I lack motivation sometimes, but my top motivation is that it really helps with my anxiety and always puts me in a better mood. If you know you eat cookies like that, don’t keep them in your house! That’s what I have to do – a box of cookies would be gone in 10 minutes otherwise.
