Not too bad, not too bad! Of course, that could change next week, but classes so far are manageable and interesting (which matters!) As long as I feel like I’m really learning something and benefiting from my classes, I say that’s a good sign! Personal finance, basic statistical methods for policy and planning, principles of public policy, planning, and health, and working women! My stat class is 4 credits…and I’m still not sure why. There’s not “lab” or extra work (we shall see!). Finance is great! Learning all about budgeting, investing, insurance, and I hope, taxes!
With that, I’ll see you all on the flipside! Can you believe this is the last Finisher of the month? February here we come! Only 28 days too! I’m just trucking along until this dreary winter is over. It hasn’t even been that cold (I know I just jinxed that one!) but the sun has literally disappeared! Boo! Here’s to a sunny weekend where ever you are! xoxo

It’s so weird that it’s already the end of January (what the). I’m hoping for a sunny weekend here as well, but it looks like it’s just gonna get progressively colder! :[
Those pancakes look magical. <3

I know 🙁 NJ is letting us down…but at least this winter has so far been 1000000x better than last year!
Mary says
Hummus soup, I would love to try it. I love hummus.
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I know! It’s like a more “socially acceptable” way to just eat hummus with a spoon, by the bowl full!
Kristina @ MsModify says
Hummus soup sounds so interesting!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I know, right?
