what is new

what is new in my world as of today. i have started grad school, began teaching nursing clinicals two days a week, started training for a half marathon and adopted two giant puppies in addition to my current full time job at the hospital!
i think i might be a touch crazy, but i am already three weeks in and seem to be handling it okay.


the dogs, which came already named penny and coco, are terrible and wonderful all at once. they have chewed up a shoe, my kindle case, carson's football mouthpiece, various barbies and toys, and this morning's paper. i want to hate them, but as i am typing maggie is on top of penny kissing her and penny is hugging her with both paws... they kind of just fit right in from day one.

my 1/2 marathon is in november and then i am hopefully going to just back off a little on the working out. i would really like to be one of those happy ladies who just go for a simple walk once a day and call it good. i hope my aging metabolism likes that idea too.

the grad school thing was a no brainer. its one class a week for 15 months, totally paid for by my hospital. i am hoping someday this will open doors for me to work something with more normal hours in the future.

off to walk these mutts.
