Not much new going on. I've been trying to eat well, but still nothing on the exercise front other than walking dogs. Greg leaves in 2 weeks! I think that I'm going to drive out part way with him and we're going to stay with a couple friends in baton rouge and go to new orleans on Saturday for Jazz Fest. Then Sunday we will drive a little more and I'll fly out (somewhere) on Monday back to South Carolina.

Our last day at Barnes & Noble is the 24th and I'm looking forward to having "me" time and also family time too. Greg and I have been reading David Bach's "Smart Couples Finish Rich" and it talks about having a Value Circle and really paying attention to what your values in life are. So Greg and I have talked about these and for the next year we are supposed to focus on these. One of mine is Family, so quitting Barnes & Noble is really in align with that because it allows me to have my weekends free to go and visit them and I also have nights off so I can call the people I can't see more often.

What I would like to do while Greg is gone is really concentrate on my exercise and getting fit. I also want to finally decide what I want to go back to school for. I don't want to drag it out. So this is my mission while he's in New Mexico.

Greg and I have been together 5 years as of April 14th, he brought home flowers for me and we went to dinner (nothing fancy). So it was a nice night.

Also, I was trying to come up with some ideas about neat things to mail him while he's there, you know, cute or romantic, or funny letters, or something. I read in last month's issue of Real Simple that a woman sends pinatas full of things because you an put the stamps and address label right on the outside! Also, my friend suggested getting a journal and mail it back and forth. Do you guys have any other ideas?

Thanks!
