Living Life in FAST Forward! 6/13/11

"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. " Soren Kierkegaard

Sometimes it is lived in FAST forward!  I awoke to a missed call from a number I didn't recognize and they didn't leave a message.  When it rang again in the afternoon I found out it was the special education director from Waco ISD calling to give me info about the job and invite me to attend a conference!  The news was good!  I get to continue working with Deaf students!  But to attend the conference I had to leave Lufkin in less than 24 hours! So much for getting anything done before I left! 

Because my room reservation was originally for the assistant sped director, I got this awesome suite!  All to myself!  Not that I spent much time there!   The conference was also at the same hotel. I was so glad to have the opportunity to meet people I am going to be working with! Since the amnesia last year I have a really hard time with proper nouns and learning everyone's name was really kicking my butt!

Turns out that people in central Texas go out for drinks so I went too...but mine was a VIRGIN prickly pear margarita.  Did you know it is the alcohol that makes it sweet?

I made two new friends Laurie and BJ.  We did lots of fun things over the next couple of days....

To be continued....

A prickly pear margarita? Even with the alcohol I'm not sure I'd like it! I'll stick with my hard lemonade (NOT light!) any day! :)
