It's been a while...

It's been a while since I've written again.....school started back up and it's a 6 credit class in 6 weeks which is going to be challenging to say the least.  I am going to Baker Online for my bachelors in Human Resource Managment.  I really like it so far, but the thing is with online classes is that you have to be REALLY disciplined!  Assignments are due on the same days every week and you must participate in the school's message board 5 out of 7 days a week minimum.  Baker really wants you to participate every single day!  I try to stick to that rule as much as possible so I can get a better grade.  ;)

I don't know what's wrong with me lately, but I've been on a spending spree.  :(  I feel like a person who went on a diet and then binged.  So, I'm trying to rein myself in a little and knock off the spending.  I think I just went too long with out spending money that it felt a little like deprivation.  I will make sure not to go too long next time so I don't go off the deep end again!

Ken and I celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary yesterday which was nice!  We went to a little restaurant in Detroit and had great conversations and great food!  It is nice to reach this milestone, as I cannot imagine my life without Ken....

Well, I'm off to do some cleaning and studying.  Thanks for reading!!!

farmers market

I was wondering which farmers market you were shopping at for those deals? Are you going at closing time? We blanched broccoli and I am trying to get to carrots and cauliflower but my freezer is embarrassingly full currently.

Maybe you have felt a bit deprived and that's why you want to shop. I know that it happens to me as well. Happy Anniversary!! Hope you had a wonderful time. Here's to many more years!

Farmer\'s Markets

{ 06:11, 2006-Sep-24 } { Posted by acox68 }

There are two farmer\'s markets that I use...one is a store only open in the summer/fall called Blocks, and the other one is in downtown Detroit called Eastern Market. I don\'t know where you live, but we have always had these markets around. I always get my fruits and veggies there and don\'t buy from the supermarket when they are available. Sometimes we do go at the end of the day when they are trying to get rid of their stock....

Good luck with your classes. I know how hard online classes can be. I am currently taking 12 semester hours all online. You really do have to be well disciplined!
