Fame Part II

No, I didn't get Shaq's autograph. I had to leave to go Christmas shopping, and really, not that interested in him. The menfolk did stop by the office just as he was coming out of the gym, and Shaq waved to D. Like me, D. was more impressed with 7'1".

This is who I get excited to see:


Billy the Marlin. Mascot of the Florida Marlins. Love him. I get more excited seeing mascots than athletes. Billy came to visit D. when he was hospitalized at age 3. Loved him ever since.

This past weekend, the VEU athletes hosted a party for Safespace. It's an organization that provides shelter to battered women and their kids. The athletes all buy toys for the kids, and there was all sorts of entertainment, and Billy was there.

I get excited when the VEU mascot shows up at events on campus, and I know the kid who's in the costume (outside of Bucky, the quietest boy. Get that parrot head on him, and a whole other person comes out.). That's just one of my quirks, I guess.

All my tests are complete. I have passed everything, and will probably end the semester with a 'c' unless the instructor drops a question or 2, and then I will get a b since I am right at the threshold. At this point, I am just grateful the semester is over.

I pin in two days. I have my stripes on my cap. Tomorrow, I will iron my uniform and get a pair of shoes to wear. Wednesday, I have a hair appointment, and I plan to get a pedi. Taking the day off of work. Will also being packing for trip. Can't wait for Friday.

And.......exhale. Stay tuned for pinning pictures.
