I'm still pretty much in denial that the thing happened at VA Tech, so I'm not going to really talk about that for awhile. I will say that D and my griping about student emails seems pretty trivial now ( Read more... )

I was taking off from one of my main schools for the upcoming wedding trip. I set it all up a month ago ( Read more... )

ING Direct: I rolled my teacher retirement over there last year sometime. It grows each month, and I really should put more in my IRA. We'll see. I also have savings and just started a checking account there--we can use that in our upcoming trip without having to worry about other things coming out of there, and it's linked to our savings ( Read more... )

It's been cold here and we haven't made it to the park in a week, which is no fun. The dogs are depressed. I've been doing step reebok to keep the cardio and legs in shape for the thaw. D started back to school yesterday ( Read more... )

I'm a big fan of Dr. Oz. I ordered You on a Diet today, and realized that he and his writing partner have a bunch of free goodies on their Real Age website. I also found out that despite the fact that I used to smoke, and I have a cocktail or two, I am still younger than my calendar age. That's pretty cool ( Read more... )
