Keep on Keepin' on

All right.  I have a few spare minutes, finally.

The last couple weeks have been pretty intense, not because of the in-laws, but because I've been crazy busy.  I'm happy to say that I've completed the continuing education course I was taking (with 120%! What can I say? I can be kind of an overachiever).  I'm also officially done at the purse store.  I'm mourning the loss of my discount, though it's for the best.  We really need to save the money!

While that was going on, I have been trying to create this online course that I will be teaching in March.  I've never taught anything like this class before, and I've never taught online.  It's kind of a big deal, because the school I work for is just launching their online program.  Everything is starting from scratch - I have no blueprint to follow.  I'm really excited for this opportunity and hope it will open new doors for me, but all the planning can be overwhelming.

On the home front, things are okay.  We got that little reprieve on Friday where we pretended to have our own house.  Just one night can make a huge difference!  On Saturday, Bruce's parents had friends over, and we decided to just stay home and be social.  I had a lot of wine and a good time.  Bruce remarked that I spoke to his dad more than I have in weeks.  To which I replied, "That's because your dad was in a good mood, better than he has in weeks."

This coming weekend will be all about the in-laws.  Bruce's birthday is coming up, so one night we are having dinner to celebrate.  He also shares his birthday with an aunt, and this year is her 60th.  So the next night we will be going out for an even bigger family dinner.  But for that one we don't have to pay!

Then - dum da da dum! Bruce's parents are going on vacation! We cannot wait.  Stay tuned!
