Hi everyone!
I've been away for a couple weeks now and I feel like there are so many new names around here I don't even know where to begin!
How is everyone? Shy? Stacey? Jules? Tallgirl? Ruby? And anyone else I may be forgetting!?!
I have no exciting reason why I've been away, sadly. I've just been busy with work and training and blah blah blah.
So what's the latest around here? Shy, did you hear from that guy again? Did Jules schedule surgery or still working with PT? Tallgirl- how about the nice CO weather, huh? Ruby, how's WW going? Stacey- I thought of you the other night when I went to a country bar. Let me just say, that dancing is a blast!
Anyway, just wanted to check in with everyone! I hope you're all well and I hope to be around more this week.
:-)

Good to see you Lesleylou! I was thinking that I hadn't seen you in a bit. I am in physical therapy still and am actually getting better, albeit slowly. I am hoping to be back in the gym in 2 weeks and able to travel in 3 when I am supposed to go to New York. But this has really shown me that I have to stop putting off the surgery indefinitely and I plan on having the lateral release in September. Thanks for asking!
By the way, I have been emailing with a guy on Craig's List. Something that I never do, but I really liked his posting. He is pretty funny and intelligent. So maybe all of the good Chicago guys are hiding out there...
Nope, nothing from the guy, thank goodness.
Hi Lesley
Same old here. Getting ready to finish my first year of grad school. WW hasnt gone as I expected but its my own fault so hopefully I can turn things around here. The man is good too, talking more about what happens next.
Hope you are well too!
Ruby
Good to "see" you again, Lesley. Yeah, the weather's been great (until today). :)
AJ, enjoying life with C.
Jules, first things first- that's really cool about the Craig's list guy. I mean, if a catch like you is there, it's only logical to think that there may be a counterpart out there just waiting to be found. :-)
So September for the knee, huh? I hope you can enjoy summer and not think about it too much.
Blah, I don't think I'll ever understand that about some guys. Some things never change I guess.
It sounds like school is frustrating (both your work and your classes). As for your classes though, you should be proud of yourself for sticking with it. I'm starting grad school in the fall and I know I'm going to have such a tough time getting and staying motivated. Others in school inspire me.
Hey Ruby... congrats on finishing out this first year. You should be so proud of yourself. And know that you're an inspiration to me because I'm going to be starting in the Fall and I'm a little freaked out by the whole thing.
Glad to hear things are going well with the man. Hopefully these years apart will be something you look back on one day as time that just went by in a blink. :)
I'm not losing like I'd hoped just yet either but things are going better in that the weather is nicer and I've been out to run every day! On Easter I ate enough for 3 days but oh well! It will come.
Yes, I agree. No matter how many times I hear about it, I'll never get used to the changing Colorado weather.
Hey, do you do any running? I have a question for you. I'm going to try and email you through your profile but if it doesn't work, maybe you can email me.
:-)
Congrats on going back. Its not easy I wont lie, but its not as bad as it sounds either. Trust me on that...those horror stories only exist if you create them yourself. I don't let school stress me out. Can only approach the projects and papers and stuff one thing at a time anyways. Plus the motivation will come naturally. At least it did for me. I've been talking about grad school since I was a freshman in college and when I look back on how much I've accomplished in the last year, I'm really proud of that. Thats all the motivation I've ever needed. At times I wanted to quit because it seemed like the easy out, I could go live with R and get a job and we would be together. But my dream of a graduate degree came before him and his support and knowing he'll be there in the end is what keeps me going.
I know you didnt ask but I guess my advice is to have a support system to complain to when your classmates are acting like weirdos right around finals (well maybe only psych majors are weirdos...HIGHLY likely). And stick with the reason you wanted to start in the first place. ;)
Lots of good wine helps too ;). If only I could find the particular wine I had at O'Fame...heh..maybe its a good thing I can't find it.
