On this day ....

1986: Seven dead in space shuttle disaster.

I can never forget. I know exactly where I was - in high school, peeking in the classroom where they had the TV and live-feed set up. I was 16. I still can't look at the video without crying.

In memory ....

*waves*

It's the anniversary of my birth. I am 38 years old today, and I'm proud of every grey hair, every wrinkle (now that's a new thing!), all my baby-belly fat I haven't lost, everything about me. It took a LONG time to say this, but this is the only body I'll ever have, so I gotta learn to love ME. I didn't say it was easy, but now that I'm in my late 30s (oy), I gotta learn how to love ME.

Going out to eat with Maddy and Joe tonight - probably to a fun kid-birthday place. Going out on Saturday night for sushi and ? afterwards with Joe. :) I received so many nice b'day messages, via e-cards, phone messages, and physical cards, even from my new co-workers. I do so love my job!

I'll wear proudly my age - just don't ever tell me I'm too old to do something! I'll dance circles around ya!

Crazy

It's been crazy here lately. The quarter here at the college started on the 7th, and we've expanded to over 100 students. I won't bore you with details, but I'm looking forward to spending some quality time with Maddy and Joe this weekend, especially watching the BIG GAME on Sunday night. :)



Yes, this is Joe, working on the sidelines at last Saturday's snowy game. He is an NFL Instant Replay Technician, which means he helps with the replays. He got about 10 sec. of airtime last game! There are lots more pictures of the game on our Flickr.com page!

Go Pack Go!

I'm ok

The zapping sucked. BIG. But the good news is that whatever the neuro-doc saw, my surgeon didn't think it required any surgery. :) YIPPEE
