About Me

Aaahhh!!! The stress level in my life is slowly receding and I can definitely breath easier these days. I have caught up on homework and have come to realize that I only have a month left in my master's program. Of course that hinges on my passing the Comps as well as my current classes, but I have faith in myself.

My husband actually has four days in a row off so some quality R & R is planned. The forecast for the week is sunny in the 60s and 70s, so we are going to head toward the coast for an overnight getaway. There will be no swimming in the ocean, however a walk on the beach to gather shells as well as some quality seafood are on the agenda. I am looking forward to it.

Before we leave, I am feeling inclined to play along with my friend and fellow blogger Nicole's snippet of "about me" material. So, here are a few things about me.
