MARCH-ing into Spring

Ha ha ha...I crack myself up!  I think the title of this post is the most creative I've ever been for a title!

So...what's been happening here you ask?  Tomorrow is the last day of Winter Quarter!  Yahooo!  This was a busy one and Spring looks to be along the same lines.  As I mentioned in last month's post...that PowerPoint project sucked my brain right out.  But I am glad I did it.  I think I will be getting my grade on it tomorrow.  Hopefully the fact that my classmate, and partner in crime TK, and I will have earned some extra credit for bringing in coffee and munchies for our presentation.  And that that will help offset any of the list of presentation requirements that I overlooked or failed to include.  (smile)  After watching the other presentations the last two days, I have a whole new appreciation for anyone that puts one together.

We have been having some more wacky weather here...day two of Spring and I woke up to snow this morning.  But I am not focusing on it becasue I already have one foot out the door in preparation for Monday when I wing my way to TX to see OC, Biggin' in SA and Maha in the Big D.  Unfortunately I am making this trip solo as M is in San Fran for work on an extensive engine overhaul assignment.  Once that is done (April) he will be heading up to Dutch and start the rotation.  But per the norm...nothing is set in stone.  As it has been for the last 10 years.  My mantra is, "Be positive and flexible" when it come to CAT.

Before I leave I signed up to so the Big Climb for Lukemia on Sunday.  I am doing the non-competitive leg, where I will climb 75 flights of stairs for "fun".  I have done this a couple times a few years back.  I think this is a great cause.  Plus I used it as a motivator during my Biggest Loser Challenge I participated in at my gym.  The challenge is over and it was determined I won!  I was able to acheive my 6 week weight loss goal!  I won 4 training sessions with my trainer.  She was awesome and really helped me get back into the gym swing-of-things.  I have decided to continue with her services upon my return...but have also told OC that it is not an option to eat my way from one end of TX to the other and unravel all this hard work I did.  I am liking the fact that I was able to move my belt one notch in.

One little peice of useless trivia...this April 2nd will mark the 10yr Anniversary that Mark and I deemed ourselves an official couple!  =)  I think I'll keep him! <3
