Roo Roo and I are just chillin' out tonight. I finished my second to last final exam today- and passed. So, that is one more step closer to graduation. My last final for this semester is Monday, followed by a two week break, and then more school. On a sad note: I am not feeling very proud of school. My accomplishments in the past 2 years are very limited in the scholastic department. I am learning to deal with lower grades- and a lower academic self-esteem. My friends know I have battled this for the past two years. It is a tough pill to swallow.
On a better note: I am putting some of my life energy towards taking care of myself in other ways. I am running, racing, spending time with my husband, going to movies with my sister, reading The Alchemist, and walking Roo. Life is about balance.
On the best note: I think Dave might have done the nicest thing for me in our whole relationship Monday. I was coming home on an empty stomach from the gym, and he volunteered to get dinner. He lets me know he got a veggie burger for me from Back Yard Burger. That is fine, I think- not my first choice since it was so late and I am really not into buns and sandwiches lately, but I am grateful-I will just pull off the bun and try not to feel guilty for wasting food. I get home and pull out my sandwich- and there is NO BUN! He specifically asked them to make a sandwich for me with lettuce as the bun.
I asked him- how did you know that tonight I did not want a bun? This is not something I have ever verbally expressed or made a big deal out of it. Sometimes I want one, sometimes I don't. He said he noticed over the weekend that I did not eat my bun, and he thought maybe I didn't like them very much. I couldn't believe he paid attention to that AND acted on it! It earned him HUGE points in our house to know he paid attention to me. He didn't even need to ask me what I would like- he just knew. HUGE points.
I hope everyone has a good rest of the week. I am going to finish my wine, watch the Russia-Sweden Euro game (soccer) for the second time today, and fall asleep whenever I feel like it. Thanks for reading.

AWWWWW, that is so sweet. Its the little things that really count with us gals! Kudos to Dave!
so thoughtful and observant! impressive!
now to the bigger question...what's wrong with the bun? how do you get full off your sandwich when there isn't a bun?
Dave is awesome! (But I think you already knew that...)
The Alchemist is one of the best books ever. I think I read it about once a year to every other year. It is something EVERYONE should read, along with "Tuesdays with Morie". Both on my required reading for perspective suitors... ;)
That's what PT school is all about - making you feel like a loser and sucking all the life out of you. Trust me, do not feel at all disappointed with yourself. If you posted that you had a 4.0 I'd tell you to stop being such an over-achiever and get a life! You are still managing to HAVE a life and get through school. That is far more important. Not to rub it in, but I have 48 days left until graduation!
BTW, your husband is way too thoughtful. Mine would never be that observant about what I eat. SO nice!
We need to get together while you're on break!
