keeping anxiety at bay

hubby applied round 2 to some of the top MBA programs in the country. i'm talkin' bout the programs that you see in the top 10 lists of US News, Forbes, Business Week, etc. they're all amazing schools with wonderful programs.
and we're currently in the wait-and-see stage of admissions. i believe he's limiting himself to checking his e-mail 2-3 times a day.
and since he was able to predict that he would be anxious, hubby signed up for a ridiculous race that he is training like crazy for . . . an ultra-marathon. in early april, we'll be going to sacto so he can race in the American River 50-mile Endurance Run. b/c a regular ol' marathon isn't quite enough. oh, but he's doing one of those too, Napa Valley Marathon, next weekend. so he's successfully keeping anxiety at bay by working out a lot. and still training for this year's Ironman.
i, on the other hand, just keep writing out dinner plans. and re-writing them.
this is what's planned for tonight:
salmon with dijon mustard
roasted golden beets
plain baked potato

thursday night:
arugula and roasted red pepper salad
swedish turkey meatballs
wheat pasta

let's see if the plans will stick!
