The last days of October.....

The last days of October are upon us and as many people know October is one of my favorite months for a few reasons..... personal.... professional.... but mostly just because of Halloween. With that said, this last bit of October will be busy for me. Here is a short rundown:

2009-10-24 - A great friend of mine if getting married. I am very happy for them and wish them many years of happiness!

2009-10-24 - My niece is entering her first little contest, a Halloween costume contest at the Kemah Boardwalk in Kemah, Texas.

2009-10-25 - NASCAR Cup race in Martinsville, Virginia which is the area that my mothers side of the family lives in. Wish was there, probably will catch some of it on TV. Love the great state of Virginia..... almost as much as Texas. Almost.

2009-10-28 - Meeting a Lamar University I have to go to, those are always “fun”.... not really though.

2009-10-29 - Have to make a quick trip to Houston, Texas to pickup my packet for the Monster Mash 5K/10K run.

2009-10-30 - One of my favorite Texas bands, The Toadies, will be playing a poolside concert at the L'Auberge du Lac Casino. Check out this video of "Possum Kingdom" live.

2009-10-31 - Monster Mash 5K/10K run at Sam Houston Race Park in Houston, Texas early in the morning. Then Halloween.... my FAVORITE holiday..... with friends and family.

In there somewhere I will work in some runs and catch up on some of my assignments for school/college/Lamar University/whatever you want to call it. If I would have done the two-year thing I would have been done by now but my long term goal has always been a four year degree and my fantasy is a Masters. I seriously doubt I can ever make it that far but time will tell. Even with all the mess that has gone on there (sometimes I wonder how some of the people working there got to be in their positions) I am still thankful that I have the chance now to be in school/college since I never had the chance to back when most people did/do.

Oh, and by the way.... I will be “Waldo” from “Where’s Waldo?” in the Monster Mash Run so I will have links to the site & pics after the run.... to see if you can find me. HaHaHa.
