Resolutions!

I got a little crazy with my new header picture....lol. It does kind of fit the way I am, though, so I like it.




It's always sad when the holiday decorations come down, around this time. Though, if your holiday decorations just happen to also be normal decorations then it's still kind of nice. Like instead of spending the money on a tree, Husky offered his green rocket he build to serve as our tree this year. :)

Also around this time of year is when it usually snows. Though I've discovered that because of the lake effect in here, we don't really get that much snow as opposed to other places. Kind of frustrating.


Aside from winter fun I've been working on getting ready for the next semester. I got lazy with winter break and decided I didn't want to post anything but school starts next week, so I'll have a nice tight schedule once again.
To start with, I'll be working in a new second job! Yay! It's a campus job, working with the off campus housing department (Aka: NHO). I'm going to be one of 3 Project Managers in the department. I'm pretty thrilled, especially since I was worried that I bombed the interview. Glad I didn't. The job is great. I get evenings, weekends (usually), super flexibility around my classes and cleaning job, and everyone in the office is really nice and easy to work with. Couldn't get any luckier than that.
January is also the time when people decide on their New Year's resolutions. Of course I have some. I didn't get to last year's, which was to compete in the WI Tough Mudder so that's getting tacked on. My official resolution, though, is one I'm excited for. I've decided to train for a marathon, in October or November hopefully.

This of course means more strength training, to which my cats help out:

More strengthening of my lungs and heart, which doesn't make them too happy, but Brain wins this:
And of course...more running! I'll be posting my new pic with updated times as I train:
