Currents (copied from Alex... she's so inspiring!)


Thoughts: I should be reading for my Microbial Pathogenesis class tomorrow instead of reading/writing blogs. 
I love tanning (I went this afternoon... glorious). 
Blessings: My husband. He keeps me motivated when I don't want to do what I should. Except right now because he doesn't know that I'm not working on homework...
Hank. I seriously love my dog. He has been really sick the past couple of days and all I want to do is cuddle up with him and love on him. 
Although I take it for granted sometimes, being in the DO/PhD program. Having my education funded. Being able to really make a difference someday (when I eventually get done with school)
Our lifegroup. We were so blessed to already have a home church and to meet 20-something year olds to share our lives with. No one in the group is the same and everyone brings something else to the table. All of them are wonderful people.
Our bridge card. I am so thankful that we have this aid this year. I was able to buy so much food to cook and freeze for the month and I know that not everyone can do that. Thank you tax payers.
Struggles: This new budget. I hate having an allowance. 
Committing to working out 6 times (with stretching and walking counting for 2 of those days) in preparation for my half marathon in May. But dang will I look good.
Loving myself so I can love my husband better.
Classes. Oh are they going to be tough this semester. So. Much. Reading.
Projects: Similar to Alex... I have a lot. Most of them have to do with crocheting. I too, am working on an etsy page. Though, realistically I won't have things up and going until summer time and by then who wants to buy hats and scarfs??
Here's some of the things I am working on though: Snowflake doily suncatchers, cross stitch "Welcome" sign, doily angels, shawl, fat bottomed purses, and some odds and ends jewelry making.
Favorites: As I said earlier, tanning.
Running (I did 4 miles earlier today)
Crocheting.
Reading my nerdy books (If you like the Lord of the Rings you would like this series: The Wheel of Time)
The piano music Sterling has on. Every song puts me in a place. The current one sounds like a lullaby... I feel like I should be going to bed. Soon.
My clean house and freezer stocked full of food. I took advantage of this three day weekend by buying an enormous amount of food and cooking a TON of stuff. I made lasagna, goulash, veggie bean chili, eggplant parmesan, taco meat, hamburgers, chicken breasts, meatloaf, butternut squash soup, tomato-avocado salad, salsa, and lots of sandwiches. Oh and for fun I also made (from scratch) chocolate cupcakes with frosting. My freezer is stocked for the month. This is such a relief. Also, the laundry is done, the floors are vacuumed, the bathrooms are wiped down... all that needs to be done is the kitchen. And I am not looking forward to that.
Desires: To be on a beach.
To not worry about student loans.
To know where I am going to live next year.
To be closer to my family.
To go to bed. I'm tizired already. Oh but wait... I have reading. Sick.
To see all my friends from MP.

And with that, I leave you to do that reading I've been complaining about. Ughhhhhhh. At least I have diet coke and chocolate cupcakes!
