at long last

At last my stint in the Blog Madness is over. It was much fun while it lasted and, to be honest, the story of Timothy lasted a lot longer than I figured. Thank you everyone for voting when you did. To have come from an original group of 116 down to the last eight . . . well, that was just some kinda fun. Congratulations to my last opponent. It must be the name, but I think that I was defeated both times by a "Kevin" and that is my SIL's name, also. Hmmmmm what am I being told here? LOL

So, there will be two more rounds - the final 4 and then the championship. The blog entry I thought would be the winner of the entire thing was defeated this round also. So, I will have to re-think this and come up with a new guess for the winner.

In the meantime . . .

I walked for an hour on the treadmill tonight - raised up a blister on my left heel. I've gotten one several times on the right heel, but this is a first for the left. So, I marked down my miles and steps and then went out and used hubby's bike for half an hour. He was not home - had taken a young friend to the airport at 7 and did not get home until after 9 - so I felt free to use his machine. Got in 5 plus miles on the bike - divided the total by 4 to come up with a reasonable guess at total mileage for the Walk to Nowhere challenge. All is happy dappy in my little world.

Thanks for the comments on yesterday's entry. Looks like I have a lot of company in people who do not plan to attend their high school reunions. ::g:: I'm also finding out those who graduated in the same year. ;-)

Well, I had best go and get my beauty sleep - I have a presentation to make at the college tomorrow night. Part of my program plan is to present agency information and volunteer information (seeing that I am the volunteer coordinator and all that) before different groups. This will be before the Social Works class that meets in the evening. I will only be there for about 1/2 hour. Travel to an from takes it up to about 1 1/2 hours - so I will leave work early by that much. Actually I am considering doing a working lunch at my desk and leaving 2 1/2 hours early. That way I can get in my time on the treadmill and get spiffed up again before the trip out to the college.

btw - it is a bit ironic that the only letters I have after my name are OJT (on the job training) and yet I will be addressing a "rapt audience" on a college campus. Heh.

Goodnight friends. And, thank you again for your votes.
