I just realized that I have been SO busy planning things that I haven't updated you guys! So here we go-2 posts in one day!
SO I will start with the ones that are going to be happening first!
**I am going home this weekend...and as my Dad sweetly reminds me-it has been a long time. I am going to be able to present Dad and Mom with their blankets! Pictures of this will follow!
**While I am home this weekend I have high hopes to cram more than a few things in. But one of the biggest is that I have talked with Mama Dot and I am going to learn how to make the "Almost World Famous, Definitely ELBA Famous" Apple Tarts! We have carved some time out of our weekends so I can learn. I am charging the video camera because I think this is something that will need to be preserved for posterity!
**Mom and I have talked about going to the Drive-In movies either on Friday or Saturday night. This may not happen on this particular trip home but it has not been forgotten! With the weather getting so good I am excited about that one!
**The end of April brings around a State Holiday. I am going to spend that weekend hiking with (Aunt) Debbie Jared! Mom, although not volunteering to go on the actual hike, has volunteered to make the drive up with us and drop us off at the start of our trip and pick us up at the end! This adventure could possibly knock out two off my list! Hicking and camping! YEAH! There is no one I look forward to doing this with more than Aunt Debbie. When I was in Junior High she took a van full of kids to Albuquerque, New Mexico to hike a mountain! It was a grand adventure but I can't believe that she drove us out there and BACK! I can imagine she cherished silence for a week or so after that trip!
**Saturday October 15, 2011 is the Girls Inc 1/2 Marathon. I have been looking for a 1/2 Marathon that will benefit a group that I would be proud to support. I think this race is a great time of year for me...giving me plenty of time to prepare, it's in a place that I hopefully (come on Mom...let me have the condo!) have a place to stay so really I can pay the entry fee and be set to go! The website for Girls Inc of Bay County is http://girlsincofbaycounty.com/ This seems to be a wonderful program!
**I have my eye on the hot air balloon ride! I have been scoping out some options so more information is to come about it!!
**I am waiting to hear back from the "Insiders" on meeting Mr. C. That is something that I literally dreamed about doing. I have never been to Charleston in my life. However I dreamed the other night that I was sitting, prim and proper in a Charleston bar sipping on a cocktail and Mr. C walked in. He asked if anyone was sitting at my table and I told him that I had been waiting on him! He sat down and started to tell me about his life. When he asked me about my family I laughed and asked if he had a few days for me to tell him about my "functionally dysfunctional family" and then, unfortunately, I woke up. Now meeting Mr. C probably will not happen this way...thus it is the things dreams are literally made of...but hopefully at least at a book signing!
I am sure there are some other things I should update you on...they just aren't coming to me right off the bat! Hope you all have a wonderfully crazy week.
