I am SOOOOO excited – tomorrow Barry and I head out of town to my 20th HIGH SCHOOL CLASS REUNION.  I have been helping plan this big shin-dig for the past couple of months and have been hearing from and talking to friends that I haven’t seen or kept in touch with for YEARS.  I feel like this weekend will be a huge mix of what we did back then and where we are and what we’re doing now.  I hope that we will stay closer now that technology allows such wonderful means of communication.  I hope to post some pics by early next week……..maybe even a pic of me in 1988 and now.  Scary!!

I will let you in on a funny, sort of embarrasing secret about me.  I often took on the role of mother figure to many of my guy friends.  You know, sort of guiding them through how they should act and what they should and shouldn’t do so that led to a really crazy nickname:  McGruff.  Does anyone remember “McGruff the Crime Dog”??  His motto was “take a bit out of crime”.  Hilarious, I know!!

Does anyone have an embarrassing or funny nickname?  I would LOVE to know about it!

FUN WEEK

Sam and I just returned (last evening) from our mom/son trip to ATL.  We had a really good time, despite the heat and rain!  We saw two Braves games (they lost both), went to World of Coke, Georgia Aquarium and the Atlanta Zoo.  We had never been to World of Coke or GA Aquarium and let me just say that BOTH were really great.  I took some great pics and will try to post them soon.  There are so many other attractions in ATL, it is definitely a great place to spend a few days having fun.

I’m off to Center Hill Lake this afternoon with around 10-15 sorority sisters (ADPis from our days at MTSU).  We will relax, eat, sleep, boat, swim and maybe do some water sports.  Mostly we’ll just enjoy hanging out together without any real responsibilities for 48 hours.

Hope everyone will try to have a little bit of FUN this weekend!!

Take Me Out to the Ballgame……..

I thought about letting Sam guest blog for me today but he’s REALLY busy playing video games.  Ahhhh, the joys of summertime.  No homework, no early bedtime, no responsibilities.  Don’t you wish all adults had the summer off, no matter what their profession?!

Ok, back to why I’m posting.  Sam and I are heading to Atlanta in a few weeks to watch a few Braves games and basically just have fun.  Besides the games, I think Sam wants to go to Coca-Cola World (not even sure if this is what it’s called) and maybe Stone Mountain.  We need some suggestions of other fun, cool things we could do for either free or almost-free.  :)

Gimme your suggestions!
