Its been a long time since I’ve posted on 43things. I learned HTML and XHTML, now I’m studying CSS (pretty much have that down too). Its definitely worth it. I would recommend: Head First – HTML with CSS & XHTML by Elisabeth Freeman & Eric Freeman (O’Reilly Books)

Slowly but surely making progress. I’m committed to working out every morning for at least 30 min. I’ve found that I don’t have to deny myself foods that I enjoy – I just watch how much I consume and it works better this way without the added stress of watching calories.
My husband and I purchased our first home, a custom built Ryland Home in December of 2006. It was very exciting to see the progress and at some times it would feel a bit overwhelming because we had to pick everything out – knobs, where the outlets would go, flooring, etc. Other than that, it was definitely worth it!
