Fall is Here!

Hello friends and other humans reading this!

I've had an extremely BUSY summer. I tried to take Anatomy and Physiology over the months of June and July. I finished the course with a 68 which correlates to a D. Yes, friends, a D.

So I am repeating it this fall as we speak. To my defense, it was really intense for two months and just utterly exhausting. Labs until 10pm 4 nights a week. I guess I also just didn't study as much as I should have. There I said it!

I got to go to Ohio for the Football Hall of Fame Game! The Dallas Cowboys won their FIRST Hall of Fame Game appearance in franchise history. You're welcome, guys. I know my presence in the stands had something to do with it! :-)

I also go to see one of my bestest friends in the entire universe, Janet and her family. I hadn't been to Cleveland since 2008 and it was so good to see her two little girls.

I had a wonderful time and couldn't be more grateful to God for blessing me with Janet's friendship.

Oh...I also got to squeeze in seeing Jeff Timmons perform while I was there....along with the amazing Jim Brickman.

Along with the end of summer brings Labor Day weekend which I have been dreading this year.
My mom died on September 3rd. The day before Labor day in 2006.

Ever since then...I've despised Labor Day weekend. Although, I am grateful for the paid day off but the paid day off also give me extra time to think about how much I miss my mom.

Hence, I always try to take trips or do something fun to distract me from the reminder that she isn't here anymore.


I just wanted to write and touch upon the loss of Rich Cronin, writer/entertainer/rapper extraordinaire on September 8, 2010. Rich was diagnosed with AML leukemia in 2005 and had a stem cell transplant in 2007.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Rich in 1998 in Arlington, Texas. I got to hang out with him a few times before Summer Girls came up and propelled him into the ranks of superstardom. He was always very sweet and kind to me and I was so happy for him when Summer Girls became a hit.

Please register to be a bone marrow donor (I did in 1996. They were doing a drive at a supermarket. It was easy so I signed up. I got a call last year that I could be a possible match for someone but turns out I wasn't. You could save someone's life. What greater gift is there in this world? Do it) and let's keep fighting so the world doesn't lose any more precious lives.

That's all I have right now. I'll be back with more exciting, less depressing stuff, later.
