Random Things

I got some alone time this week. Me time. Very much missed. I haven't had alone time in a long time. My time is always spent with someone else in tow. Which doesn't really bother me that much since I love people, but sometimes I just need to breathe!

I had to go to Pensacola on Monday to go to the Field Office to get my new computer setup as it was my first day as full-time employee with the company! Woo!! BUT...tell me this. Why does it take over an hour and a half to drive 5o miles? Crazy. The drive is very boring and seems longer than that. But I got to listen to some radio and blare it and sang really loud. I got some great looks. People were probably thinking "oh, those poor children in that minivan...their mama is crazy!" Well, I was alone so I really didn't care! :) It was nice to do whatever I wanted even if for a few brief hours. The office was completely empty - no one there. It was nice and quiet. I might just have to sneak over there occassionally to get some peace and quiet!

When I got into Pensacola there were cop cars on the sidewalks outside the Civic Center - I was like "what is going on here today?" No one was really coming or going and so I thought nothing of it. The same police officer was outside on his walkie talkie when I left town with the same cars on the sidewalks. Strange.

I learned the next day that the President of the United States was there. Nice! Way to go! I was within parking lot distance of the President and didn't even know it. I totally would have gone if I had known. I need to pay more attention!! I actually almost called Brian to see if he could find out what was going on to see if it was worth stopping by for. Man! What a missed opportunity!
