Rachel reminded it's time for my monthly post, so here we go. On the weight loss front, as of a couple days ago (but officially today) I have entered the 120s at 129! Yay for that, I think I'ma try to hold at 125 if I get there. Other than that I have just been going to school for the most part. Next week is spring break.
As far as school goes things have been well. I finished up pathology finally on Friday although I won't know my grade for a while because they have to send the final off to be graded and it won't be back probably for another 2 weeks or so. After spring break I have 2 months left of school...how weird is that! Then a month before the boards and then I'll be on rotations, it's going by so fast Lord help the patients when we all get on rotations.
Caduceus is on March 8th (the day before Dad's bday) and I will probably be dateless but that's alright I was last year too and still had fun. I'm wearing a royal blue shimmery dress that I'll post more pictures or after the seamstress finishes taking about 4 inches off so I don't break my neck. Steven may still come down but I haven't heard from him too much lately so we'll see.
Ashley has "try outs" this Tuesday for spring ball so we've been practicing pitching, my knees are no where near as good as they used to be, but then again I wasn't a catcher either. She's doing really well actually for not practicing on her on so maybe she'll get on a decent team this year with a coach that knows what they're doing.
Oh I made my frozen dinners for March during the last two days. I made a penne bake, goulash, turkey Shepard's pie, pork chops w/ grape and fig chutney, chicken Parmesan, cheesy tomato fish bake, fish chowder (w/ shrimp), shrimp Alfredo, and some peanut butter chocolate fudge (not real fudge but still). That I think should give me a dinner for just about all of March which is exciting except I'm running out of Tupperware now.
I finally got all my taxes turned in and should get my money back in about 2 weeks from last Friday. After I pay the CPA 150 (I'll do it myself next year) I should still have 1050 in returns so that's not bad. I've also been trying to figure out how bad in debt I will be when I get out of school and if I take out 3000 this year and next year just as a slush in case of emergency I will be at 77,000 total for 8 years of school...not too bad. Now mom had brought up at one point them paying for my undergrad which was about 16500 but then kinda acted like maybe not the other day, but w/e I never planned on them paying any of it anyway. Either way that's not awful considering if I didn't join the air force it would be at least 120,000 for just med school and I would probably have no Roth IRA started and no nest egg for future down payment or trips or anything. I figure if I keep saving like I am now I should have a decent amount in both of those when I get out. I also put my statement ending balance on the last credit card I have with a balance on it last week. My goal is to keep it under 300 now.
I'm sure lots of other stuff has happened, but probably not too interesting considering I wake up, work out, go to school, study/watch select TV (yay for a new challenge and new ANTM) sleep and repeat. I will try to update again before a month but I make no promises. The pictures below are from some Sunday lunches in the last 3 weeks and practicing with Ash today after lunch.

Yay for a freaking update! You need to get back on the internets.
Thanks for starting the post off on the right foot - me! Maybe I'll hound you every week so you'll post more often.
I hope part of those savings is for a trip out to see me :)
Also, when you come out here, you can fix me a month's worth of food too.
Yeah I need to get out there to see you. Idk about the months worth of food though, maybe just a night or two worth.
