What a Difference a Year Makes

So it's been almost a year. Since that horrible date (March 1), what's happened?
Shootings at Tech. I still tear up when I think about them or hear anything about them. What a horrible event. And that anniversary is almost here as well
* Grandma's court case - and we lost.
* Big Girl's breakup with Scum #1 - but that was a good thing.
* Rick's death - It still seem surreal to me.
* Big Girl's breakup with Scum #2 - thank goodness. He was worse than the first one.
* Big Girl is driving!
* Football boy won't say a word to me - his loss
* The other two will barely talk to me, if at all; again, that's not a bad thing.
* MB #3 - enough said
* New job - that's a good thing
* MB #1 - I don't even know what to say about that
* Grandma's health issues
* New cabin
* Tech winning ACC Championship, but losing to BC in the rain game and to Kansas in the Orange Bowl
* Shootings at NIU
* Issue at Ferrum College
* But I have great friends


I miss you, Dad.

1000 Minutes in February

Okay - so I didn't go to the gym today. I was going to go this morning, but I had too much to do this morning before getting into work. So I packed up my clothes with the inclination to go after work. But it was so nice outside, and I finally got to see sunlight that I decide to go running outside instead. So I did! I ran/walked for 60 minutes.

February's Goal - 1000
Total Minutes 1/2/08 - 60
Minutes Left - 940
