Thanks Michelle and ST!

I just realized I've been posting all over the place but not much on my own thread. It's either a good sign or my head buried in the sand right?

Things went well over the weekend... the storm was blown WAY out of proportion on the news, thankfully!

H and I went out both nights, too - that was definitely nice. Need to make sure I don't do that EVERY weekend (falling back into that habit) but it was a lot of fun and very nice.

On another note, interesting coincidence - last year while H was moved out my work offered a class called "Thriving Through Change" - it was SO good and helped me a ton in letting go of my old M. I still refer back to the tools sometimes. Obviously it was a work oriented class but for me at the time it applied to my personal life far more than work.

Today? I took a class called "Effective Communication: Interaction Skills for Success." OK seriously.. are they planning these classes around my life???? It was a great class. So much of it seemed very basic, but really it was stuff that SHOULD have been obvious and isn't always, necessarily. I'll post more on it later (so I have the info in front of me and get it right), but it was really good timing and a lot of food for thought. They even gave us a reference card to keep with us at all times to help practice the "key principles" of successful interaction. Good stuff.

I missed my dance class tonight due to crummy traffic! But I did practice and did about 45 minutes of my videos at home so that was good. I like the class SO much better because she can break things down if you're lost and I actually hurt (very minor but enough to get my attention) both my knee and ankle trying to figure out some of the moves on the video.

Decided to do some serious spring cleaning tonight as all the "little stuff" was getting away from me and the house was overall just feeling kinda dirty. So I did the thorough scrubs of the stove, all the sinks, ran the Scooba (aka mopped all the floors really well ).
