1. My niece Sara got Homecoming Queen on Oct 9! Sara is the first girl on the left. Isn't it funny that the girls are taller than the guys in this picture? Sara graduates in June and is applying to UNT. She is beautiful, tall, AND smart!! You should see her letter jacket - patches EVERYWHERE!!!
2. Yesterday was my sister Laura's 40th birthday!! :-) Forty is the new 30, or at least that's what all my 40+ friends are saying!!
3. I'm still going to Physical Therapy, twice a week, and I think it's helping. We'll see what the doctor says on Nov 4th. If he still suggests surgery, Tim wants a second opinion. Right now, I'm not in enough pain on a regular basis to warrant surgery.
4. This week I started teaching Junior Achievement again, with a 4th grade class in Farmers Branch. Four more lessons to go. The kids are sweet and well-behaved; all are Hispanic, and a couple of them don't even speak English yet. The teacher is bilingual, as well as a lot of the kids. But how do kids who don't know English learn anything, when they don't know what the hell is going on??
5. I was accepted into the University of Dallas Graduate School of Management, to work towards obtaining an MBA. Since TCU is twice as expensive, and way farther to drive, I think UD is a good choice for me. UD is close to my work, and I start classes in January.
6. I didn't get any farther than one interview for the job I wanted at work. They changed their minds and said they needed more of a "Unix admin-type person", so they started their candidate search over (even though my friend Ron told me the job doesn't really require it to be able to do the work). I give up......oh well, it's their loss.....I would have been a good fit for them, but they'll never know that now. I think I might still try to take a Unix class, for the future and for my resume. Seems like everyone wants Unix nowadays in IT.
