First Board Meeting

Well my weeks are back to normal. What ever normal is! Last week was my first Board Meeting, and it seemed to go extremely well. My favorite part was the cruise of Newport Harbor on the Wild Goose which is John Wayne's former yacht.

Le'Ann, one of my co-workers, and I ran around take numerous pictures so that the day would not be forgotten!

All in all, the weekend seemed to be a great success. The weather was a bit chiller than expected. But then that seems to be likewise every where, Dallas was getting snow while we were in California. The trip gave me a chance to get to know Le'Ann better and well as meet some great board members! It is a good reminder of why I love my job!

Every time you travel, at least for me, my favorite part is returning home. I was able to catch an earlier flight home, which made my day. Even if I was stuck sitting next to a guy wearing Patchouli Oil that made me gag the entire flight. (Sorry to those that like it, but it makes me so sick to my stomach.) I get home to a wonderful dinner Tony made (Chicken and sausage!) while we watch Sunday Night Football. It doesn't get better than that, now does it?! Yes, I threw on my Fitzgerald jersey just to help cheer on the Cardinals!

Well, I best get back to work. Time to start planning the next meeting. :) Louisville, Kentucky here we come!

Thanksgiving weekend flew by, as did today. This weekend I was able to spend some time with a good friend of mine. Watch some great movies, and caught up on some sleep. It was the perfect weekend.

Today was back to the grind. For this week is my first board meeting with my new job. Today I spend the entire day putting the shipment together. Printing badges, rosters, tent cards...you name it. When it is all said and done, the stuff is packed and ready to head off to California. Thankfully, I don't leave until Thursday. That provides me a couple more days to figure out what I forgot. After all, once the shipment is gone, there is no way for me to go back and double check that it is correct. Makes for a couple sleepless nights, but hey, it is par for the course. :) Hopefully a good workout will help calm some nerves.

Tony taught me some new exercises to help work on my stomach. And one nice comment - no more milkshakes. That I was not too fond of. I have one freakin milkshake a year, and I am getting crap for it! But then, I guess it is good, for it makes me work out. Other than that, I have been running. Trying to get my speed up. Not sure I will make it today, allergies have been tough on the whole breathing thing, and the office smells like stain due to new cabinets going up in the kitchen. That isn't good to breath in either. Excuses...I know!! :)

Well, I best go change to workout. After all, even if I only run for 15 minutes, it beats not running at all. Right? :)

Just another day

Things are continuing to go well, it has only been about a month and a half, but things are going well. I am still enjoying where I live, enjoy my job, and so far, I have had a little bit of a life. Now remember this, for we are coming up on the holiday's and I am staying in Texas. So when I write and say I miss my friends and family - it is primarily due to the holiday season. Don't get me wrong, I miss them and all, but I am not sitting here depressed missing them!

I have it all planned out. This weekend, I am going to get my oil changed (exciting I know), and look at fun recipes I can make for the Thanksgiving weekend. Little odds and ends items that I can munch on through cheesey movies, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, and football games. Since it is just me (and Bart boy) I will try to make it a good one.
Last Thanksgiving, my friend and I started it off with a hike. Maybe I will do something similar, before the parade (depending on when it starts) get a workout in. That way it is done, and I can proceed to eat what I want.

No good stories to tell. Mom was in town this past weekend. It was a quick trip - flew in Friday night and left Sunday morning. Quick. However, we did manage to get my place decorated...just not my bedroom. I will probably play with that over Thanksgiving weekend as well. Move things around. That and reorganize some closets. Any who, back to mom's visit. We spent quite a bit of money, but we just lucked out with finding a lot of great items. Bart Boy is still trying to get some of the new hangings off the wall, but luckily no success yet. He will be in BIG trouble if/when he succeeds!

Well I best get, lots to do. Although I do wish it was the last half of the day rather than the first half!
