I told Gma that I'd post an entry about what I've been doing for summer, so here it goes.
I went to Pensacola Beach for Memorial Day weekend with 8 of my friends (yes, before BP destroyed the coastline). We had an absolute blast. Spent lots of time on the beach and hosted a party (over 250 people showed up). It was ridiculously fun.
This is where we stayed. We were on the 16th floor of the tower on the far right.
Came back to work for 2 days and then headed to Furman University in Greenville, SC for a workshop. What a beautiful campus they have their. Met several great people in my field. Always good to expand my network. After the workshop, I returned home and was invited to attend our Alumni Association Board of Directors meeting (I applied to fill an open position). It was really nerve-wrecking talking about myself and why I should be sitting at the table with CEO's and entrepreneurs of great businesses, but I managed to pull it off and edge out some other applicants. They voted unanimously to grant me Director-at-large status. Hopefully, I'll prove myself over the next 3 years and get an officer position.
This weekend, I went to visit a historic cemetery in Atlanta and took some great pictures of the city with my friends new 4/3 slr camera. We had a great time running around in the dreadful Atlanta heat before heading back to my car to notice that someone broke into the one next to mine. So glad my friend decided to go back to the car and grab his iPhone off the front seat. Could've been my car that had a window smashed in (you can see the pic on facebook).
Next week, I'm headed off to Salt Lake City for another work conference. This one is all about Student Conduct on college campuses. Should be interesting. We had a crazy semester here at school with alcohol, drugs, and immigration issues. Maybe I'll learn something new. Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the summer.
Having Fun with the Biasotti's! We are never bored. The saying for this summer appears to be to 'Love Yourself'. So, we are going to love ourselves today and go back to the mall, oh yeah, and the gym this morning. Hayle's going to really love herself and take 1/2 day off school. Then we're all going out for Indian food tonight!! Mmmmmmmm!!
I just thought it was time for a change. Meet Tony's puppy, Otis. He is a 7 month old Pit Bull that he found on the street all beat up--probably from a fight. I know you are all probably thinking, "Oh no, not a Pit Bull." Remember even Pit Bulls need some love. Otis is not aggressive. He has been attacked by Jen's dog many times and he just backs off. He has been attacked by the cat and he keeps his distance but he seems determined to be the cat's friend. He keeps his butt up in the air, wagging his tail with his front paws flat on the ground and his head down tipping his head side to side--all in front of the cat. All the while the cat is hissing at him. I have been watching him for a week and have grown attached to him, but Tony is coming to get him today. All in all I will be relieved because puppies take up too much time. I have not been able to get anything done.
