Get up to speed!

Many of you may not know this but it is the main reason I have not been blogging these days. I am studying day and night to take the GMAT next week. It is sucking up all my free time so I have not been able to blog like I have wanted.

I am thinking about going to graduate school part time for an MBA or an MPA and this test has been both an opportunity to see if I have what it takes to focus and study again after all these years and it is required for one of my applications. So that is why I have been MIA.

Greg has been wonderfully supportive and really picked up the slack so I could focus all my attention on the test and remembering all that math I learned but apparently never use in real life.

On an unrelated note our mouse problem seems to be under control. We got a new threshold under our door so that the foil could be retired and no little critters could just walk right in. We also put out a bunch of traps with really delicious bait on them and have caught nothing (nor seen any "evidence" if you will).

My test is next Wed and then I hope to be back with updates on my Seattle trip, my new favorite smoothie recipe, my new haircut!, and many other exciting projects that are waiting in the wings!

I'm back!

I am back from a lovely vacation in Seattle with family. I will have lots of updates in the coming days but we returned home to find some little mice had moved into our apartment and we are having to deal with that. In fact the night we were back a mouse (perhaps the one who had been roaming around our kitchen) walked right in under our front door. We spent the evening emptying our entire front closet (where he ran and hid) to find him and chase him out. Now we are working with the landlords to get the gap under the front door fixed. Such a pain!
