"I've got a package people!"

Bonus points for naming the movie that quote is from (except Mindy, Michele and Tammy...'cause knowing it is just expected of you)! But more like I've got 4 packages! Hehe! One from Dad Young with some great coffee and yummy pecan brittle! Two from my mom :) with sweaters and a new pink fleece and other clothes and things. And one from Mindy and Jan with girlie stuff - yay! girlie items are spendy here! - and a breast cancer fleece vest and loads of pain reliever! I definitely feel the love! Even the department secretary has been commenting on all my packages.

The back is hurting a bit again this week. And sure enough, my new chiropractor had moved back to Australia! I swear, my chiropractors are always leaving me! So I tried the other chiro who owns the practice that the other one worked out of and I actually think I might like him even better. Anyhoo, I had an I'm-a-stupid-American moment during Pump class, which is an aerobic-like weight-lifting class. Well, I looked right at the 1 Kg on the weights but in my head I was still thinking 1 lb (not the 2.2 lbs that 1 Kg is equal to) so I ended up totally lifting more than I should have. My stupidity didn't even dawn on me until I was laying in bed that night. So now my neck hurts again. And it's soo not good timing, now that I want to get in better shape so I can try surfing...thinking I'm gonna sign up for a 2-day surfing course on Dec 8-9 through the University's recreation services...that only gives me 3 weeks to improve my fitness level! Yikes! Been doing those sit-ups and push-ups, though!

Other than that, I've been working late working on my pile of research articles to read, which just keeps getting bigger...the more you read, the more you find you should read. AND getting way excited to move on Saturday!
