A Successful Summer

I know that's a funny title for a blog entry, but seriously, I had a successful summer. Now what constitutes a successful summer? I think a successful summer is enjoying the weather, having fun, and accomplishing what goals one needs to in the 3 months before school starts (obviously the school starts bit doesn't apply to those who are not in school). But I'm sure we all have goals we want to accomplish over the summer months. What were my goals aside from enjoying the summer, which might for all intents and purposes might be my last "relaxing" summer for a long time? Studying for comprehensive examinations. I didn't study as hard as I had intended, but I did study. And anxiety rose as the day of the exam drew near. Of course the actual date of the examination was at the very end of my summer so I didn't have much time to just relax. But in any event, I took my exam on August 20th and found out my results a week later. While my results were highly satisfac...

Reunion in Jo'burg

Image
On my return from the conference in Durban, I was fortunate enough to spend a few days with my childhood best friend. It was amazing to be able to meet her again some twenty years later. We had spent time catching up and also attended her daughters' cross-country event. We also had dinner at this African-themed restaurant (where else would we eat when in South Africa?) called Moyo's. This picture is of us after getting our face painted. :) For dinner I had springbok, and also managed to taste a bit of ostrich. Very interesting, and pretty good - both of them, I'd say. :) The next night I actually met up with some other people that I had not seen in twenty-one years. It was just amazing to see us all grown up (the kids), and the adults were somewhat the same, except for a bit of age of course. So I managed to have this big old reunion in Johannesburg.

How many more hours???

Hope all of you had a great Thanksgiving! I did. I cooked my first turkey and then a few days later watched a video of how you're actually supposed to carve a turkey (none of us had a clue!). We all took turns in cutting the turkey into tiny broken off pieces, and even had a vegetarian have a go at it! Crazy! She asked me not to post the photo on Facebook as her friends would kill her. *laugh* I'm keeping the photo for black-mail. ;) Just kidding! The turkey, thankfully, turned out to be pretty good. But man, I didn't realize how heavy an 18.5 turkey could be! Nor did I realize how many HOURS it took to cook the sucker! So, we all had a true Thanksgiving dinner - late really, as we began eating around 9 p.m. Lol! I'm not sure I'll ever do a whole Thanksgiving dinner again. But the fact that I DID do it was satisfaction enough for me. :) And as proof, here's the turkey photo. Heh heh.
