Dreading the update...

For obvious reasons, I have been procrastinating updating the blog. Not a lot of good stuff to report. We did have a great time seeing Lon's parents, family and friends in MI and we got to see LOTS of snow! That and not having to go back to work have been highlights. Not getting a paycheck, having to file unemployment and having my GI Bill temporarily screwed up (NOT my fault) have been the crappy parts. But as Lon and I always seem to be saying (and it usually ends up very true) everything happens for a reason.
Today is particularly gray & rainy and it's going to get cold enough tonight to have a chance of snow tomorrow. That may be partly to blame for the 'pouty' blog. We did watch a really good movie last night, though...very uplifting and fun. Kung Fu Panda kicked butt! Definitely recommend it, especially if you need a good laugh and a little 'feel good.'
I have my midterm and second exam next week, but I don't feel much like studying. Again...gray, yucky day may be partly to blame. Looks like a good day for a nap, a fire and a bowl of hot soup. Of course, I wouldn't start a fire until I was up from the nap! It's not near cold enough for a fire yet...still in the 40's. Maybe I should run out, grab some hot & sour soup and a firelog (for the morning)....not a bad idea.
I don't mean to sound all gloomy. Lon and I are fine. I'm really enjoying school and have a 101 average right now in A&P II! Woo Hoo! And I'll find out before April about the fall Nursing class. And he's really enjoying finally having a whole weekend off at home! He hasn't had one of those since early last May!
I promise...my next posting will be much more upbeat and happy! Hopefully the sun will be back out, too!!!
