random things

I haven't written any random facts about myself in a while, so I figured I would and see how truly random I can make them.
1. I don't like cats, not even a little bit. And they my eyes itch and I sneeze.
2. Right now, I have a crick in my neck from sleeping wrong and from a crappy hotel pillow.
3. I like to go sit at a coffee house or a chilled out bar and read mags and drink coffee or wine.
4. I have a journal that sometimes I write in and sometimes I avoid it like the plague. Writing about issues makes them more of a reality. sometimes that's good; sometimes that is bad.
5. I really like to chill out and do virtually nothing while I'm at home.
6. I sometimes have to take Xanax when I fly, but ONLY when I fly.
7. Some places I'd really like to visit: London, the english countryside, Ireland, Paris, Tahiti, Italy, Vermont.
8. I'd like to go on a motorcycle ride through new england with someone in particular.
9. Often, the backdrop or location of my deep sleep dreaming is the house I grew up in; my parents don't even live there anymore.
10. I am convinced that the desire to be loved can be really torturous.
11. My stomach gets really upset when I get super nervous.
12. I've never had a desire to get any sort of plastic surgery.
13. I regret not wearing my retainer every night like I was supposed to.
14. I think a lot of the guys in Atlanta are boring...oops! did I say that out loud?!
15. I still have my mistletoe hanging up in my condo.
16. I'm sometimes humbly reminded that I have too strong a personality.
17. I'm trying to give President Obama the benefit of the doubt. I do want him to succeed.
18. I think my best days are ahead of me.
19. I am confident that God's hand is on my life.
20. My dad is one of the funniest guys I know, even if sometimes he's a goof.

2009 is off to a fast start

I've been super busy since ringing in the New Year. I left New Year's day for a super fun and much needed trip to see my old roommates in DC. We had a great time! Got back and work has been crazy busy too, lots to keep up with and trying not to let anything slip through the cracks.

I've also taken on some fun new projects outside of work including being on the selection committee for the GA Teacher of the Year. This basically means I am responsible for reading about 25 of the applications and scoring them. It's been really interesting, although time consuming. There really are some amazing teachers doing really amazing things in classrooms all over this state.

I'm also serving on the Georgia Board of Nursing. I first meeting is later this week. It lasts for 3 days in Macon.....fun......

And I've also started helping to see if we can put together a successful bid for the 2012 Republican National convention.

Busy, Busy, Busy. But I wouldn't change a thing! well maybe a few things...... ;)
