SNOW DAY FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

Poor John was stuck blowing out the driveway.

Meanwhile, Jamie studied......

Goosebumps and Whitley played.....

...and some overdue filing even got done!!!!!

What do you do when the snow is falling and blowing at a rate of 3 inches per hour?

Hopefully, we all answered, "STAY AT HOME!" However, what we did at home today varied vastly between each of our family members.

Whitley did a little of everything: Played in the snow, read her book and played the computer. Her school was called off very early this morning.

Jamie: For the first time in 30 years classes were cancelled at her school as well. So, she studied for her lab practical that she will be taking tomorrow, filed over a years worth of paperwork and cancelled old credit cards as she carefully reviewed her credit report.

Poor John was left the blowing out the driveway. It was his regularly scheduled day off so in between keeping the drive open, he also squeezed a couple of NETFLIX movies in as well!

WOW! I never knew how productive a snow day could be. It's no wonder we were behind on all these tasks as we have not had a drop of water in three months! Even though, I am ready for Spring, I know that the moisture is greatly needed for our well and forests.

Day at the Spa

( : ( : GIRLY NAILS : ) : )

Whitley and I enjoyed a wonderful day pampering ourselves, enjoying each others company and going out to lunch. I was blessed to spend this time with my daughter as I had no homework over the weekend and the weather was great! We had a great time and are exicted for Spring Break to arrive in a two and half more weeks that should afford us a few more outings together. Before we know, summer will be here and we'll have tons of fun in the sun!!

SUUNY D

SUNNY D is gross in my opinion...nuttin but sugar water.

But Sunny D, as in , the-sun-is- shining- in-Denver....... is FABULOUS!

Today we reached 74 degrees and tomorrow 75. Days like this are killing me because I have so much homework this week and I would love to go for a long run! I tried to run today after class but only went for 20 minutes as I had not eaten the whole day and had forgotten my purse at home; no purse, no moolah, no food! It was like trying to push a car that was out of gas....simply impossible!

Tomorrow, I am gonna be caloried up and hopefully squeeze a run in..even if I am swamped with work!

I'm Baaaackkk!!!

Jamie with Mom's scope

This is Jen. We are the same age and were inducted to Phi Theta Kappa at the same time!

This is Danielle. She doesn't live too far from me, and this semester we have started working out at the gym together. We have to put all this information about our body to good use!

As you can see, we have a great time together. We behaved and didn't make any goofy poses with the anatomical models! Aren't you glad?

Okay, this blog is for Valerie T. and Karen G......

I know you think I dropped off the face of the planet but life just seems to get busier all the time with school. We just finished a unit on the heart, blood, blood vessels and the endocrine system. I learned how to read and an EKG and EEG and examine the waves for the various chambers of the heart. It was a special unit as I got to use my stethoscope, given to me by my late mother-in-law, Odelia.

When John was back in Pennsylvania, he asked me if there was anything I wanted of Mom's and at the time, I could only think of a rosary. The rosary is special to me because Mom figured out a way to pray for each one of her children and even her married grandchild's family, using each Hail Mary. I loved how she personalized this prayer and how I knew she thought of us each and every day. Not only was I blessed to have a rosary, John also gave me her scope, blood pressure cuff and a couple of pins that she received while working at the Leader Nursing home. I was touched by John's thoughtfulness and am honored to use these intruments that aid in providing life sustaining information!

I thought I would show you a picture of how I proudly donned her stethescope and a few of my friends who see me more often than my old friends do. Please know you are in my heart and I think of you all often! Someday, we are going to celebrate and take a girls trip when this is all over with! Have a great weekend!

ANOTHER BLOG SITE

If you were wondering why I haven't been on this blog as much, well...here's the answer!

A few days ago I finally joined FACEBOOK. It has been a blast catching up with old friends and browsing through their photo albumns. It has been a handy tool as we have found about 1/2 of our graduating class through there for our 20th reunion this summer.

School has been really busy so there just isn;t much time to keep it all together. The Science Fair is tomorrow, judging in the evening and results first thing Friday morning. I can't wait to see how Whit fairs.

It was 67 degrees today and felt exactly like summer. Tomorrow, 70's in the forecast! OH HAPPY DAY!!!! Gotta cut this short-later!
