I don't write much anymore...on this or anything else. I need to get back into it...this lack of creative energy is starting to take it's toll on me. Perhaps that will be my New Year's Resolution--to pick up the camera and pen again...

All in all things are going well--school and work keep me pretty busy these days. I'm about 1/2 way through my degree right now, with an anticipated completion of May '08. I'm pretty excited for the future these days. L & J and I had a pretty serious talk yesterday about the 3 of us living in a house together once I've graduated. Granted, it's a long way off...and lots can happen between now and then...but it's nice to have something of a plan--and a goal.

This also gives me almost a year and a 1/2 to start saving, and planning for the future. My credit cards will be paid off by fall, so that money can be put into the bank for once I leave LSC. Originally I was going to start putting that towards student loans...which I still may, but I can also switch and put the $300 that usually goes into the bank and put that towards paying off the loans instead. We'll see.

The weight loss is coming along fairly well. I've lost between 12-15lbs so far. It's hard though with the holidays and visiting with friends. I should be able to make some serious headway after the 1st of the year when things settle down a bit. Hopefully I'm going to be able to incorporate some exercise into my routine too which will help as well. Still hoping to lose a good 60lbs if not more by my birthday...it's going to be tough, but I think I can do it...or at least come close.
