About Me

I'm a 29 year old non-traditional college student. I live with my fiance and our 4 dogs and 3 cats, in a tiny little house. We plan to marry after my graduation.
In May, 2006, I received my Certification in ASL Proficiency; I started my Interpreter Training Program in August. I plan to graduate in May, 2009. At that time, I will legally be able to interpret for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing...can anyone think of a better job for me, than to be able to talk with my hands all day???
And yep, I'm back on the Weight Watcher's Wagon. If you want to see my progress pictures, visit my freewebs site:

Since I've actually been sticking with it lately, here's my ticker. Now you can follow along :)
I'm involved with transporting rescue/stray dogs to new homes. If you're interested in helping with that, just ask - or visit www.dogsdeservebetter.com for more info!

My Blog

Knees. I hate knees.

Saturday night, Anna was running downstairs and tripped.  The next thing you know, she's limping/hopping, and barely able to move at all.  So, of course, I spent the day freaked out about it...

One good thing about being sick...

I reached a mini-goal without really trying. I didn't really keep track of points while I was at Wheaton, because of all the walking we did. I also haven't kept track this week, because I haven't been...

Still in shock and denial

It's been a few hours now, since Va was laid to rest with her Sisters and Mothers...and I still can't quite believe that she's gone. I keep going into these little jags of weeping, which is just so se...
