I'm alive...

well, sort of.  I've been a bit under the weather but trying not to veg. around much.  I've continued with my treadmill workouts, tried to cook a couple of healthy meals at home and even managed to get a leg up on my grad work.  Today I also managed to get in a valentine's day photo shoot with T so all is well in the world ;)I got an...

G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S (Fergie)
