Time Keeps on Slipping Into the Future

I'm sometimes shocked at how fast time can fly by, while simultaneously dragging its heels and taking forever to get from week to week.
These last few weeks have produced some good things. I finally finished my summer courses, got A's in both classes. I had to drop a class and sign up for it again this fall. I'm just not that in to Nutrition, I guess, because I've tried to take it several times in the past. No more procrastination, though, because this fall is IT! After this fall, I'm not taking any more classes for a while, if ever.
One of my professors this summer said to me that she hoped that I would keep volunteering in my future. Yep, I've got all the time in the world for that right now! I did wonder when it quit being considered volunteering when you were being made to do it.
This fall is looking to be quite the feat. I'm getting a little nervous about it, hopefully it will be easier than it looks. Because it looks daunting! 22 hours. I'm ready to get this started, though. The sooner it's started the sooner it will be over.
I happened across and old friend from grade school and jr high a couple weeks ago. Facebook. I've been in touch with him, he only lives between Diamond and Neosho. We met at Buck's in Neosho, where my good friend, Earnie, works, and then we met again last Saturday when he took me on a picnic for my birthday. It went well, but I did make sure and let him know that we weren't a couple, that it wasn't a date, and that I was in love with one and only one man, my husband.
Shael starts school tomorrow. Her first day of her final year of Wyandotte public school. I just can't believe my baby girl is a senior in high school! That happened fast. I don't feel old enough. She's got a couple heavy hitters this year, too. Algebra III was not easy when I took it. Maybe she has enough of her dad in her to do really well in an advanced math class.
I turned 38 years old yesterday and I have to say, that I feel like this year is going to be bringing me lots of good things. I am ready for some good things. I've had enough bad things to last me a life time. Not real sure why I feel this way, but it's in my gut. Along with about 20 pounds of fat.
Tonight, my parents are having everyone over for my birthday. I invited Mike and he said he might come. Which is a huge shock. For nearly 3 years he has stayed away from everything that has to do with me like I had the plague or something. Whether he shows up or not, that's a mystery that I'll find the answer to tonight. But, I hope he does, I love seeing him. He even came to Greencorn twice last week. Another shocker, but a very, very pleasant shock.
Here's to 38. I get to be 38 an extra day because 2012 is leap year. Yay!
