The best thing about my fall so far...

I haven't been on to share my exciting fall news.....I have season Gator football tickets!!! Yeah Me!!!!

Last year, one of my patients got tickets from a woman who has had her season tickets since the 1960s. Unfortunately this booster hasn't been able to attend the games because she's been ill. My patient wasn't able to get the tickets this year because he was saving his $ for something else. So I jumped on the chance to buy the tickets. Our seats are great, they're in the alumni section which goes into the shade at 3:30 so I haven't been fried at a game yet....A couple of things in the con column though....they pack as many people as possible into those seats so you are crammed with 90,000 of your closest friends and the section we are in are the alumnus that have been supporting the Gators until the 60s and 70s so the average age of those around us is about 75....Oh well, seeing the Gators play is so exciting even if they haven't been playing like the #1 team they are (until last week...)

So allow me to share my view....

Look at the video below if you want to see my video of the great Gator entrance...my friend Laura who is a Bama fan says it's stupid and boring...I love it....it gets me pumped everytime!

Mom Vacation - Day 2 & 3

My Mom vacation continues to go well.  Last night we did dinner at PF Changs; better service, however, don't waste your time on the desserts....not worth the calories!!  We got back to the hotel and I read and played on FB while Jenny and her co-workers crammed for the next day of class.  

I woke up this morning with an allergic reaction to something.  My left eye was swollen and blood shot...I was thinking about what a first impression that I was going to make with Kat!!  So after some cold compresses and Benadryl, the eye return to almost normal.  I drove to Kat's house without issue which was a complete surprise to me because I tend to be directionally challenged.  I am definitely time-challenged and showed that side of me right away when I arrived late...I had pre-warned Kat.  At Kat's house I met the infamous, Kat of course, but I also met Katie, Madalyn, and the infamous bad kitties.  We decided to do lunch at Red Robin which I was so excited about...I haven't eaten at a Red Robin since I lived in Washington State.  We get  the commercials in Orlando, but that's just a tease!!!  After lunch we drove around and went to a Barnes and Noble where I got book suggestions and tips from Kat which is so needed because I tend to corner myself into reading slumps.  I have 4 new books to read from authors I have never heard of....the book worm in me is so excited!  We stopped off at the library and then headed to Sonic for happy hour....a new experience for me....4 drinks for $2.80....whatta bargain!!  We headed back to Kat's abode and I got the grand tour.  Kat and I got to chit chat for a bit before I had to venture out into the Atlanta rush hour (which I lucked out on that because I was going into the city where everyone else was heading out).  We did get a picture, but that's on Kat's camera so she'll have to share it.  Her oldest, Katie, was being cute and decided to take pictures from the boobs down....needless to say those won't be posted.  

This was my very first meeting of a blog friend in real-life....I was nervous, but I think it turned out well.  I'm coming back for another Mom vacation in October and I am hoping to meet up with Kat again then.  Special bonus for me, Kat will be in the Orlando area this fall and we may be able to get our girls together...too fun!!

A special thank you to Kat for a great day!!  Hi to Katie and Madalyn!!!
