NaBloPoMo - Day 28

So Turkey Day was great. We had a lovely day with the in laws and the rents and the seesters. We ran the Turkey Trot with 10,000 other people, watched Texas beat the Aggies, we ate turkey, we walked on the golf course, we watched a number of movies. It was a wonderful, relaxing, stress free holiday with both sides of the family.

Tonight Tim and I are going to meet up with a number of my high school friends at Megan's mom's house then out to a bar. I'm excited to see who shows up. I'm hoping to see my GBFF from high school - Chuck. I haven't seen him in almost 5 years. But before we go flash back to R.L. Paschal high school I'm going to attend a party at Miz Carla's house. I recently found out that I'm the "featured guest" at this party. Meaning I'm expected to sing for the guests. I anticipated this happening but I didn't know that I was the "featured guest". Elise let me in on that fact about 30 min before the party. YoMama failed to inform me of that important fact.

But I think this is a example of ask and you shall receive. I always think, "I wish I had more performance opportunities" and they pop up with out me even knowing about them. So stay tuned.

Field Trips Are Still Cool

So every year my company goes on a field trip. One year we drove up and down I35 and looked at outcrops of rocks and talked about “the amazing geology right under our feet”. Last year we went and visited one of our rigs while it was drilling. This year we went to the Blue Canyon Wind Farm. The same wind farm that Mike Rowe visited on the Discovery Channel show, Dirty Jobs. I LOVE that show…

Here is a website if you’re interested: Horizon Wind Energy

Whenever Tim and I are driving back and forth from Texas we always see the huge blades being shipped up I35 and now I know where they are going. It was a really interesting learning experience…but it wasn’t windy the day we went. So they were moving really slow…but it was still awesome to stand next to one of the turbines. When we see the blades driving down the highway on the flatbed trucks I always wonder how big the entire contraption is. Well each blade is 150 ft long and there are 3 blades per turbine…so it is BIG!

All in all it was a lovely day out of the office. Happy weekend!
