Blast from the Past

March 15, 2008 | |


Boy did I get a big dose of fun last night.  An old friend from college called outta the blue last evening and what a wonderful prize. We were both English Education majors and became good friends during our time at Florida State University.  Andy was amazing back then and I know I had dreamed it to be more than friendship, but just good friends we were!  Anyway, he has turned into that extremely successful business man I figured he would and I turned into a successful teacher.  I always knew he wouldn;t teach very long. So nice when stuff works out.  He found me in the FSU alumni directory, so, I guess those things are important and I should do the update next time it arrives and even purchase a copy.  I have to say I am not the alumni I dreamed I would be.  Finances are not what I dreamed either.  My husvands battely with cancer is taking care of that!

It was such fun talking to Andy and catching on our lives since we last saw each other.  I am looking forward to keeping in touch.  Good friends are hard to find and we should never let one get away.

Updating my new iPod Touch while I blog today and then I am off to the gym (Center for Health Improvement), I want to take the 8:00am spinning class today.  I am so excited, I finally found a REAL (used) spinning bike from a gym in a nearby town that is getting new ones, so I am gonna have my very own at home.  Yippy Skippy! Maybe I will lose that then pounds now.

Have lots of grading from m y two online classes to catch up on today, my daughter had her senior show last weekend and I did not do any grading.  Thank goodness it is spring break this week and I can catch up a bit.  Although, I know many of my students have catching up to do as well.

I got a new MacBook Pro at work this week.  Used Time Machine to put everything on it from my old MacBook Pro.  So far everything seems to be working.  Must admit I am shocked that it worked, although not sure why I was doubting that, EVERYTHING just works when it comes to Apple stuff.

Had a delightful conversation with Wesley Fryer yesterday, he is the Keynote speaker  at a technology conference on our campus.  I am in charge of it.  Not having much fun being in charge, it is so much work and I just know I am going to forget some key thing.  But doing my best.  This new director position I am in is quite the challenge and learning experience, I still am not sure I am management!!

Guess it is time to get dressed and off to the gym for a little exercise.  Sure do wish I had made exercise a habit before I was 50 years old.  But have now and really enjoy that time.  Nobody wants or needs anything from me, no cancer, just me, time to think and I feel better each day afterwards.  Just love it, you should give it a try too.

Have a good weekend
