That's right, this weekend I'll be celebrating my one year anniversary here at the beach. I can't believe a year has already passed.
I've decided to create a top ten of my last year. The top ten experiences of the last year. I didn't rank them... I just didn't want to put that much energy into it.
1)When I accidentally said orgasm instead of organism my first day of class here.
2)Finding the North Myrtle Beach flea market for postcards and photographs
3)Rockefeller's...every single time. Is putting a bar on here weird?
4)The Flaming Lips show at House of Blues
5)The Sparklehorse show in Charleston (with my mom)
6)The Bright Eyes show in Atlanta
7)Spring Training, of course
8)All the new babies in my life...Emmett, Laila, and Paige
9)New friends (the few) and old friends.
10)Tim and I's engagement
Damn it, I thought I'd be able to fit it into 10, but I've got the runner up...which some may argue is the most important...
11)Discovering that I'm satisfied with life while walking the beach
What should I do to celebrate? Well, my mom is coming to visit this weekend. I'm so very excited. She hasn't been here before, so I'm full of ideas...I know for sure we'll be taking her out to hear some jazz music. I'm pretty damn sure we'll have to show her off at Rockefeller's. And well, there is the OCEAN.
What else is happening in my life? I've started working on a project for a book. I'm keeping it top secret right now, but I am working on some interviews. Just chew on this..I'm going to DC next week to interview Bob Boilen from All Songs Considered on NPR.
Besides the interview, I'm looking forward to some time on the road. I'm thinking of checking out UVA in Charlottesville for a potential school for 2008. I use to travel just about every weekend when I was younger. Listening to music as loud as possible, while smoking and drinking (ha, kidding....just wondering if you are still reading...yes, i do this to my students too).
That's it for now...I'm watching the after shock of the AFL-CIO Presidential Forum...and I'm feeling distracted.
