Just an update... haven't logged on in a while and this is actually the first time I am blogging. Some things are great, some are so-so, and others not so great. So I guess it averages out to me feeling OK.

The spring 08 semester is finally over! YAY!!! I am a little bummed that I didn't pass with A's & B's, but I know I did my best and worked my hardest. Only had 2 classes, I got an A and a C. I can and will do better next semester.

I need to get moving. I feel tired all the time. On top of that I haven't been eating well because of finals. If I don't get moving, I fear that the weight will consume me. I have never been this heavy in my life. I'm scared.

I just started an at home direct sales business. I am now a Consultant through The Body Shop at Home! I'm really excited about it! Message me if you'd like to know more about it!

Kinda in correlation with the above... we are not doing that well financially. My husbands car is currently in the shop getting $7,000 worth of work done to it. I can only hope this is the right move to make considering we could get a newer car that is great on gas for just about double that. We have debt coming and going. My husband decided it would be best to borrow money from his parents to pay off the debts, but now we are in debt to them for almost 20K! I don't really like the idea of it, but it's more cost effective then being beholden to creditors that charge up to 33% in interest.

In a recent message there was this poem. Figured I would save it for future reference.

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high;
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.

Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are;
It may be near when it seems afar.
So, stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit.
