the scoop

It's been awhile since my last post...I think the 8 to 5 schedule makes time go by fast. Work is fine. I got to drive a boat for the first time, but just with the wimpy electric motor- that's all that was allowed on the lake. I learned that I'm terrible at backing up trailers. Hopefully not too terrible, I'm scheduled to drive on Monday!

Went to an Indianapolis Indians (minor league baseball) game on Thursday. A lot closer to the majors than Pensacola, but sadly they didn't shoot things into the audience or hand out plastic clapping hands. I haven't been to Indy much since I was a kid. There are some nice new parks, museums, restaurants and shops...a nice place to visit.

Trip to Cincy last weekend. Got to hang out with my old Living Water co-workers. Every time we get together, I get fired up about something. I can't accept the fact that there is a significant portion of the next generation that the majority is perfectly willing to leave behind and push out of sight. Now that those kids and families have been in my sight, I just can't do it. It may not be my career path now, but I feel the need to do something- volunteer, donate, vote, blog?

I've been running and/or working out on a pretty regular basis now, so I think I'll go for a run now. The weather is just perfect for it! A couple weeks ago I think I discovered what I've been looking for for a long time. Our fitness center offers a jazz dance class, and it's great! A lot like the dance classes I had when I was a kid, but very laid back and no performances that would just be embarrassing now. I think the people in the class are like me...took dance some time in the past, but they're not dance majors or anything.

Another dream come true...I just got a call from my prof about house/dog sitting next week. Which means for a week I get out of my apartment, I get to have pets, and I even get paid!

Time for a run.
