It Was a Dark and Stormy Night....

OK...it was dark because it was night, but it wasn't stormy. In fact, it was pretty clear, beautiful stars, and a nice breeze. I was mad busy today and despite wearing my walking clothes just in case I got the chance to get a walk in, I found myself rushing to get the kids before I even knew it. We went up to my parents' house, as always, and while watching the kids play, and talking to my Mom, it dawned on me that they have a treadmill. My parents always go out to eat on Friday nights, so I arranged to meet back at their house when they got back from dinner so they could watch the kids while I walked. What a really nice way to end the day. I'm a little wired now, though. Oh well.

I got a lot done today...and finished a project that's been hanging over my head for a while now. What a relief. I am so glad to be DONE with it! Now, on to the next project..the paper I'm writing for the Professional Communication Society conference in Hawaii this summer. The proposal was accepted for a panel discussion, and the rough draft is due on the 31st, so it's time to get my ass in gear, as Dad would say.

Next week promises to be hectic, as well. I broke a tooth this past Monday and it started hurting today. My dentist wasn't in when I stopped by the office, but the staff called him and he called in some antibiotics for me. I will see him Monday at 1:30. I'm sure I'll need a root canal and it's probably abscessed. Fun stuff. I also need to see about scheduling my interview for Teach Louisiana, a program that quickly certifies teachers to teach in high needs schools in Caddo Parish. I submitted an application a couple of weeks ago and got notification this week that they wanted to interview me. I'm not completely sure it's something I want to do right now, but I'd hate to burn any bridges...so I'll do the interview.

I also registered for a sponsored walk today. The walk is being held by Alpha Tau Omega fraternity at Tech and is for the Pamela H. Watson Ovarian Cancer memorial walk. It is being held on April 25th from 10:00 - 5:00. Look forward to me asking for donations for this worthy cause!

So, today's stats!
Miles walked: 2.25
Time: 50 minutes
I have walked 33.88 miles -- 3.39% of my goal of 1000 miles!!
