Sick of school...

So I am just about done with my MBA. I will be done in July. I am just a little over 2 months from being done. I seriously cannot wait. I am to the point now where I really don't care about my class work or doing quality papers. It is sad. I have a 3.7 GPA so I really need to suck it up and keep my grades up through these next 2 classes. Why did I not do this in my 20's??

New York City

So today I went to New York City for the first time and it is an awesome place. I really loved the city. I was not there long this evening, hopefully after our meeting we will be able to go back there tomorrow night. Then I will post more details. Hoping to get to the Manolo Blahnik store while I am here.

Something to be thankful for...

So, I am a firm believer in being thankful for the good things in your life and not dwelling on the things that are not so good. Now if you can do something about the things that are not so good, great ...do that. If not, focus on the good. So here I sit watching my cat, Crickett prowling around the house, getting into little kitty adventures and having fun. So why is this something I am thankful for you ask? Well, Crickett was diagnosed two years ago with renal, or kidney failure. She was only 3 at the time. Now she is 5 and the past few weeks have been kind of rough for her. She got an infection and had a hard time pulling through it. She also had some pretty bad digestive issues as a result of the antibiotics. So she stopped eating, just laid around and lost a lot of weight in the process. She dropped from almost 12 pounds to right at 8 pounds. She is the light of my life and the most important thing in my world so it was tough to see her like this. Well, after some serious meds, a lot of love, fluids, more love, and more love, she is doing much better. She has put a bit of weight back on which is great. But she is running around like she did before. She is getting into things and following us around again, just being her old self. So while this may sound silly to all the non-cat lovers out there, this is something I am very grateful for. I know it is only a matter of time before she hits another rough spot and will not bounce back, but for now we are happy and times are good. Happy Easter to everyone reading this!
