Count down....big day

Alot will be happening tomorrow. First, my niece is graduating from high school and I cannot believe how time flew by. I can still remember holding her as a baby for the first time and watching her graduate K-5. I am VERY proud of her and for this day to come, afterwards she will be attending St. John's River Community College on a 2 year scholarship for volleyball. I will miss traveling to see her play high school volleyball but I am even more excited to watch her play at a college level. I did find out from her coach that they will be in a tournament in September around the West Palm Bch area, so I will travel there to cheer her on.
Second, my test has arrived. I will be taking the written portion of my State Board exam. I have been reading and trying to prep myself, but I will be honest has been hard to discipline myself this week to do so. Last night was the first night that I didn't stress and felt peace. I will do my best and really pray tonight that God is with me. The skills portion of the test comes in mid-July.

Memorial Day

It was nice to have the 3 day weekend but boy, did it go by fast! The day turned out to be a wet and rainy, it started raining around 1:30pm. The rain was on and off pretty much the enitre evening, a couple times my electric flickered due to the thunder&lightening. So, I decided in bewteen rain drops to get some take out bring it home and watched a movie. Later on during the day I started reading my book and I am now officially half way through it. I am looking forward to the section that I will start reading this week. I am so happy that I only have to work 3 days this week, as I took this Friday and next Monday off so that will be my mini-vacation. :-)

My next adventure

I am ready to accomplish my next adventure. I have wanted to do this for years but just never attempted to do it. So now I have decided to go for it! I am in the process of getting information about it and how to get this started. I used to see them when I would go to work and thought "man how cool would it be to do that." When I told my friend Tonya about it, she thought I was nuts then she told me to go right ahead but she wouldn't be caught on one.

So here is my adventure........

A hot air balloon ride!!! I'm sure I may come close to passing out or may even toss my cookies (sort of speak). I think it will be awesome to see the view from this ride. I will let you know when it gets accomplished.

ALOT of reading

I am NOT a reader. But I have alot to read in the next 2 weeks. First, my State Board test is in 2 weeks, so I will be taking the written portion of the test. I will be starting tonight reading 12 chapters and memorizing 8. Second, I was given a book by a friend. This book was given to me with a meaning and reason behind it. It is about 233 pages long, even though I do not like to read books (unless it is history) I am looking forward to the quiet time to explore this book. When I was first told about this book and given a description of what its about, I was looking forward to it. My next few days this week I will start my reading.

Last night

So yesterday after work I decided to go see a movie and just relax. I saw the movie "Fighting", it was ok but I had a free admission pass, would never pay $7.50 or $10.00 to see it. Afterwards I got something to eat and walked around for a few minutes. I did go into Kids Footlocker, yes I can wear kids shoes cuz my feet are that small, to look. I was good and did not buy this one pair that I liked very much. I have this thing where my shoes have to color coordinate with what I am wearing, some of my friends says it doesn't have to but to me it does. I am looking forward to the summer when alot of the good movies are coming out.

Saturday

This past Saturday Mrs. Johnson and myself went to Cauley Square to eat lunch at the Tea Room. It was the first time in about 2 years that I have been there, the place had made alot changes. Afterwards we decided to look in a store and as we were walking out there were 2 cats and 1 raccoon. The really top it off while I was waiting for Mrs. Johnson to arrive I decided to go look in a new store. As I got closer to it I stopped to read the sign of the entrance and I as stepped for some reason I looked down and a baby snake went across my path. I am terrified of snakes so I back peddled as fast as I could. I did not sign up for the up close and personal of the wildlife. All in all we had fun and got to spend time catching up on talk.

Afterwards I went to see "Star Trek", it was a great movie and this weekend I will try to see the X-Men movie.
