Busy, Busy, Busy!

Well, the long weekend is over and now the work begins. The Spring Semester begins today so it's back to school for me. I'm dying to lose some weight so getting to the gym is a priority. Work is busy with the students back and events a buzz. The Inauguration of our new president is today! All those shows I talked about in my last blog are on. So, from morning until night there is plenty to do, see, and participate in. I saw my friend Anna this past weekend and her adorable son Patrick. He has this really curious nature that is so fun to watch and he loves to flirt with the ladies with this adorable little smirk he gets. Such a happy baby. Anna is my mentor, also a Type 1 diabetic, she keeps a close eye on her diabetes and was great throughout her pregnancy and delivered a very healthy baby boy. I hope to do the same someday soon and having her for a friend is something I'm very thankful for.

I found this Goethe quote online in one of my classes and thought I'd share:

"Our Wishes are Premonitions of the Potential that Lies within Us" ~Johan Wolfgang von Goethe

I Love Long Weekends!

Here's a picture of Christmas at Our House. I'm really looking forward to the 3-day weekend coming up. I'd really like to get over to the new outlets in Tinton Falls and the Englishtown Fleamarket, which although it's only a few blocks away from my house, we've just been too busy on the weekends to get over there. It's also a great time for TV -- Obama's Inauguration, Big Love, American Idol, Nip/Tuck -- so much to see and enjoy! I recently started using Facebook and I'm amazed at how many old friends I found or found me. It's really a facinating website.

Happy New Year!

Another year over, and another new year begins! Lots of great memories from 2008 and lots of great hopes for 2009. My mother, David, and Grandma came to visit over the holidays and although the time flew by way too quick, we had a lot of fun! We spent Christmas Eve at Carmine's parents house, we spent Christmas Day at my brother Chris' house, we spent New Year's Eve at my house. We went to NY, had dinner at Nonna's, and got lots of compliments on our new home. The following are some pictures David and my grandmother took during the week. I'm still waiting for Carmine's pictures...
