| Cool Stuff I Did in High School |
High School feels as if
it was such a long time ago or maybe it is just that my
memory is fading. However, after racking my brain... I
remember the 6 a.m. swim team practices at Nuss Pool with
the chlorine so heavy that afterwards I couldn’t see
for the first three periods. Then to top it off...my hair
turned green. I worked at Muzio’s Grocery Store,
participated in all night rock-a-thons at Mission Plaza,
and became a counselor at Camp Natoma during the summer.
I was in Camp Fire until the very end because my Mother
wouldn’t let me quit (and my kids wonder where I get
it from). I remember Hugh Cocke taking me to the DMV to
get my Driver’s License because I was too scared.
Lets see...for those of you who never forget..."THE
TUNNEL"... oops that was Junior High, but certain
people still remind me of it whenever I see them.
(Memories like elephants). And yes, cruising was always
the Thursday night ritual. Does anyone remember a certain
party at a Cayucos beach house during our Senior Easter
break...as I recall I got into a wee bit of trouble over
that one. And lastly getting pulled over by SLOPD with a
bunch of girls in a stationwagon full of water balloons
one Halloween night. We got a huge lecture about the
dangers of water balloon tossing only to have one of the
officers throw one at us...the driver of that certain
stationwagon had a few choice words for that officer...I
bet the police wish that was all they had to worry about
these days. Other than that I prefer to remember it all
as a blur... |
| Cool Stuff I've Done in the Last
25 Years |
I’ve been lucky
enough to travel to Japan and Guatemala and hope that is
not the end of traveling. We have hosted foreign exchange
students from Japan and Belgium for the last couple
years. I practice Yoga almost daily and it has helped to
center my life in ways I never thought possible. If
I’m able, I hope to teach Yoga after my kids
graduate from High School. I have to admit I can’t
say that working for the Government has been a ton of
fun, but it was necessary since I was a single parent for
a long time. I’m still working for that slow moving
bureaucratic wheel, but my burden was lightened
considerably three years ago when I married Greg. He is
an amazing man who puts up with me and doesn’t seem
to mind my brood. One could say there is nothing like
having three kids in High School and one at college to
know I would never want to go back to High School,
especially these days. My children help to keep me very
busy with sports, afterschool activities, and being a
taxi driver (I have a friend who used to call my van, The
Goober Mover). However, they are by far my greatest
accomplishments and give me my greatest happiness. Enough
said...life is good and I hope everyone is well. If I
don’t make it to the reunion this year (due to
vacation plans), I hope all of you have a wonderful time.
