where have I been??

okay, well I apologize...I'm back in the swing of things though(no, I didn't go anywhere, I've just been busy w/ life!). I have been busy completing my leadership hrs(a SN thing), busy w/ work(the bills don't just vanish on their own), and w/ the kids(oh yeah, remember them?). So, my really good friend "N" emailed me over the wknd and asked when am I going to post again? So, I told her nothing is really going on to post about...so today I've decided to just post some of my random happenings in my life that I never talk about b/c, well who really cares what we are up to?? But, maybe you still want to know, so here we go:
1. I have recently(since the semester started in Jan) lost 18.5lbs!! Wow! I look at myself and really can't see that a.)it's gone, and b.)how big was I that I cannot imagine my body 18.5lbs heavier!!!(gross).
2. I am still annoyed when people ask what's up w/ me and Rob, as in when are we going to get married..etc...yes, we have been dating for a LONG ASS time(4 1/2 yrs, but who's counting?!), but as of right this moment..we are still dating. No immediate plans of wedding bells, but don't think I haven't thought of everything in the book to speed up the process..it just hasn't happened yet...
3. have I mentioned lately to y'all how much I LOVE my dog? I don't know what I ever did w/o him(not have to sweep every stinkin' day, not have to rush home and let him out every PM, not have to wake up when he licks my face and neck too death at 4:30AM to go out(ewww...I know).I really do love the little guy though!! Esp at PM, when we go to bed(he sleeps w/ me-of course). He is the sweetest,most loving,cuddly,adorable, precious thing! :)
4. okay and time to wrap it up(b/c I still have to shower and then go to bed so I can wake up if Rocco needs to go out at 4:30AM), and my last random thought for this PM before I sign off is---I graduate as an RN in 14 days!!!! I'm just a little excited about it--can't you tell?!! I've been going to school since little K(my youngest) was in diapers. I started out by taking 1 class in the PM after work, and gradually cut back my work hrs, going during the week(while I also worked). It has been THE HARDEST thing I have EVER done...and I cannot wait until I am done!! :)
