I've been cooped up in my apartment all day, and I am about to go nuts! It's rainy out, so I have not gone anywhere today. Didn't even go to church. It's now 4pm, I'm brewing my second pot of coffee and still in my pajamas. Productive, I know! This past week was a busy week! Monday, I prepared to be gone, work wise, for the rest of the week. On Tuesday, around 9:30, I left for Marietta for a conference. I got back on Friday afternoon, just in time to have a fish supper with my co-worker and his family. Those Catholics can cook!
I did learn lots at my conference. Sadly, I think that this job may turn into my dream job...I was sitting in my Safety Tactics class and they were telling us to always know our escape paths and how/where we would go for cover/safety. Great, I thought to myself...I do this when I go anywhere...Walmart, Target, work, anywhere! Then I thought, why am I doing a job where I have to plan my escape routes, and where steel toed boots instead of cute peep toed heels? Oh well, it pays the bills! I made friends with a group of guys from a few towns north of me. I was sitting with them at the dinner banquet on Thursday night, when one asked "Stacey, what type of gun do you carry?" Apparently, I am in the minority of the gun toting CEO's. I just sweetly smiled, pointed to my biceps and replied "this kind!" I thought he was going to fall out of his chair. He then made me say "will you please cut your grass?" like 20 times...apparently he liked my accent. He was also shocked to find out that I have yet to take anyone to court. He couldn't believe that the majority of folks around here do what I ask. There are those few that are probably about to go to court, but for the most part, I work with good citizens. I am also so very lucky for the LEO's here. They help me out so much! I did get his business card though! He told me if I needed anything to let him know. Networking is so fun!
Saturday, not bright, but still early, I went with Duane, Carolyn and their kids to do the Heritage 5K Walk in town. Had a blast! Good thing Carolyn and I started walking 3 miles a few weeks back every afternoon! Afterward, I had another neighborhood watch meeting. The LEO's here put them on, and when they ask, I attend.
Next weekend, Ash and I are meeting our moms at the beach for some fun in the sun! Hopefully, it will be sunny!
