JV,

thanks for the visit! My presentation did go well so now I'm just in (obsessive) wait mode for my grade! LOL! I'm picking up my cap and gown tomorrow.

H seems to be feeling pretty good about his exam tomorrow. He studied with his study group yesterday and I think it really helped to solidify all the work he's been doing on his own.

h seems really happy lately and has been ultra positive and affirming to me of late. He's been super verbal (which you know I love) -- he just seems really positive and upbeat. I'm psyched!

Tonight I'm cooking dinner -- porkchops with a rosemary sauch and orzo with butternut squash and sage. neither is as complicated as it sounds (I hope!). I'm planning a very relaxing evening at home!

I had a nice weekend. I took Friday off for my interview (which also went well -- going back for another one this week --whew!). Saturday I went into clean and organize mode while h studied. I got a lot done in terms of organizing my winter/spring clothes. We went to see "Upside of Anger" Sat. night. Yesterday we were going to go hiking but h found out the group was meeting so he went to that. I think (well, I know 'cause he told me) that he was really surprised and delighted that I didn't give him a hard time about going studying instead of hiking -- was I ever really that harsh? maybe. Anyway, I met him after his study group and we went and had a bite. Went home and relaxed afterwards.

I was in lazy mode this AM and skipped the gym for the first time in weeks. I'm paying for it now -- I'm horrendously grumpy!

Maybe it's post school let down or work stuff or all the interviewing but I just feel like a big bozo of late. I feel like I've been so self-centered and riled up inside -- NOT prebomb riled up but just a bit prickly -- I don't think I've been that way to h and he certainly doesn't seem to be reacting as though I have been..oh, heck, I think I just need a vacation.

A 180 for me is to shut the heck up and just enjoy myself. Sounds like a plan.
