long time

I realize that it has been far too long since I've been on here.  that has many reasons why.  1. i work too damn much, 2. my computer was on the brinks, and 3. I've been on multiple vacations.  yeah, I know. I've got a tough life ^_^. 

anyway, I've been following a friend on here and she is starting a weight loss/healthy living blog and I've decided that i am going to follow her.  I could always use the extra oomph to get up and go and i think this is the push i need.  we both need to loose around 100 pounds, so that's also a plus to me.  so, here goes nothing!!

my life has been crazy as ever.  I've just gotten back from Knoxville Tennessee and Madison Wisconsin.  I went to both of them to check out the campuses.  Oh my lanta! Madison is such a beautiful campus.  Tennessee was as well, but i did not have the warm welcome as i did in Madison.  those in Tennessee must have heard my northern accent and got away from me.  apparently i had something that was contagious...

the campus here in Marshall has been pushing me around lately.  i guess i may not get funding this semester, which would majorly suck.  if that is going to happen, i may apply for a big kids job.  there is a wetland specialist job open in the Marshall office and the minimum requirements are that you have a bachelors degree.  my boss told me that i was qualified enough to apply if i wanted to.  no tuition = new job???  maybe.  i really hope not because i don't want to use my 6 months of leeway for my loans yet...argh

that's about all I've got for now
