New Adventures

I haven't felt inspired to write for awhile, but I came up with a new adventure.  Are you ready for this?  I put a profile out there in the land of computer dating.  Hmmmm....I bet y'all are thinking that this might not be the kind of adventure I should seek.  However, since the "theme" (a nod to my cousin) is getting out of my comfort zone, this definitely fits. So what do you know, I contacted some one.  I didn't have a picture out there, but I took the chance & we are now emailing.  But he did ask if I would send pictures & as some of you know, I have no clue how to do that. That was also on my list of things to conquer.

Today I invited a friend from Richmond to come down & she was kind enough to bring her digital camera.  It was pretty funny since she was not an expert at this but we managed to get it accomplished & we got a few laughs out of it too.  Fortunately she has a good sense of humor & apparently, a lot of patience.  So I'll keep y'all posted as to whether or not this worked out.

I do actually have another adventure & that is school.  I am going to Strayer University starting in the fall quarter 2011.  My major will be Business Administration with a concentration in Human Resources.  My youngest son actually got me thinking about that & it so appealed to me, that I found exactly what I was looking for at Strayer.  Strayer offers both on-line & classroom courses. There is a Richmond campus that I can get to easily from work.  But I also like the option of on-line courses as well.  This seemed like the perfect match.  I've already been given 10 credits from 2 of the many higher educational institutions that I have attended.  That was very encouraging to me.  So hopefully when the 2 community colleges send in my transcripts, I will have enough credits to finish up a B.A. very quickly.  I am so excited about this!!  I am so glad the desire for a degree has returned.  I am feeling so much better about so many things.  Amazing!!

I am still looking for that girl who had dreams so long ago & I'm still in search of who I wannabe.
