The Squares Are Adding Up

I'm still making squares. Right now, I like making them. Eventually, I'll get tired of them and have to take a break, so for now, I'm sticking with it.
 Last night, I made 5 more Cornmeal squares.
 This morning, in between housework and laundry, I whipped out 6 more of the Cornmeal squares.
 I tried to get a 7th square, but there wasn't enough yarn.
 My totals at this point are:
Aran - 14 squares
Buff - 16 squares
Cornmeal - 14 squares
So...I need 4 more in order to have 48 squares, but I used all of the yarn I had in these 3 colors. I headed downstairs to my yarn stash and started digging around, seeing what I could find. And the yarn fairy was smiling upon me!!!
I found a ball of Buff yarn.  Yay!  That's hopefully enough for 4 more squares! I'll be working on them shortly.  Don't you just love it when you find something you were sure you didn't have??? I do!

A Sweet Gesture

Absent from my household this school year is Ty, my nephew.
 Do you remember him?
He stopped by last night to visit and he also brought me something of his to use. My school bag is so heavy that he is loaning me his rolling backpack.
We emptied my bag and filled the rolling backpack up.  It's completely full.  If I had any more textbooks, they wouldn't fit. I tried it out, and it's much better than my tote bag was. Thanks for the loaner, Ty!!! I really appreciate it!

Staying With It

I've only been back to college for 2 days and I'm already having some small issues with anxiety. So...what did I do about it? I went to the gym with one of Small T's friends at 9 pm last night. I worked out for an hour and when I got home...
my smile was back!  :)

Simple Yet Stunning

Don't you just love this hair style?  I do. It's messy, yet somehow pulled-together looking. If I have any spare time today, I'm going to see if I can replicate it on my hair today. I hope my hair is long enough. Wish me luck!

Back To School

Yesterday morning, bright and early, at 7:30 a.m., Big C and I were headed down the highway, back to school.
We both had classes all day long, from 9:00 to 5:00.  It was a very long day, let me tell you. Big C went straight to bed at 6:30 last night.  I wanted to, but I needed to start on my mountain of assigned homework. 
And here I am, at midnight last night, still working on my math. I managed to get one chapter done, and I still have one more to go.  It only took me 5 hours to get all those problems done for chapter 1!  Geez! I feel like it's just busy work, but I still have to do it.
So, I still have chapter 2 for math and 1 or 2 chapters to read in all the other classes along with some small (hopefully) assignments to finish up today before my classes again tomorrow. Can you guess what I'll be doing all day today?

Question

I am looking for a simple way to keep track of my workouts.  Such as "did I work out today?".  Any suggestions?

Tried and True

Monday night, Big Daddy fixed one of my favorite dinners: Pulled Pork, Fried Potatoes & Onions, and Cole Slaw. Yum! I ate my Cole Slaw on the side, but sometimes we put it on the sandwich with the pork. Sounds weird, but it's good!
