Since the last blog entry I have found my first grey hairs... this seems to coorespond to motherhood. It can't possibly be my age it must be all the rigors of being Ian's mom. He went to the doc on this past Friday for his four month check up and got outstanding grades. He is now 28 inches long - about normal for a 8 month old and off the growth charts. And he is 16 pounds which is in the 72 percentile. Growing like a weed.
I am on spring break this week which is nice. You didn't get a blog entry recently due to mid-terms. One exam I did great in the other not so hot... Ah I guess it would be okay to get a B seeing how my world is a little busy these days and I haven't had a full night sleep in four months. I have already gotten into the masters program at UM so in the big scheme of things a B would be ok. Isn't it sad that I have to talk myself into being ok with a B. Overachieving is not the way to a low stress life.
I am completing this entry after spring break because I was so busy during that I couldn't even sit down and blog a little. Ah poor me... hee hee. Oh yeah I did title this blog grey hair and integrity so I guess I should tell you the meaning of the second half of that. The UM College of Engineering has given me the distinguished class award for a senior based on the qualities of sincerity, honesty and integrity. If only my old probabtion officer could see me now! :-) This is pretty cool and quite an honor. I'm touched and $5000 richer because of it. So during break I talked Aaron into letting me buy a couch and chair with some of that $$. Yea! Our first new couch! It was a momentous occasion. I have to post a photo but I am at school so don't have access to my pics so I'll tell you about it for now. They are red courderoy and big and comfy. We got them at Ikea and so the set wasn't too outrageous and the best part is that we can buy new covers if we get sick of the color or they get too stained. The second will probably happen first as we have child and cats.
Enough for now - I just wanted to finish this entry that has been in progress for a week now. More later...

so email that old PO with the data - even old "friends" can be impressed - it doesn't hurt to toot your own horn on occasion - be sure to include graduating and acceptance into grad school - you might be surprised with the response you get
anyway - congrats again on the award - can't wait to try out the couch
Thanks - I can't even remember the name of my PO (it actually changed so many times I didn't really form a relationship with any of them). It was said more in fun and indicative of how my life has changed. It's hard to believe some days that this is really my life. How incredible it all is...
