Working Away on a Beautiful Day

Remember when I said moving to the beach was not always a vacation - well, I got to work all day sitting on the patio - overlooking the ocean (I know I hear ya ... it is a rough life, but somebody has to do it)!  The one thing was between the calls, the emails, the spreadsheets, the emails, the calls, the emails, the spreadsheet oh did I mention the e-mails ... I am not sure I even looked at the view.  You see ... I always say I am not going to take last minute tickets or request for Gameday For Heroes - but I can't stand the thought of our military not being able to attend a game no matter what hoops have to be jumped through.

For those that don't know, I have the best non-paying job in the world --- I am the Director of a not-for-profit that sends miitary (wounded, active and veterans) to college sporting events and right now we are BUSY!  Tomorrow we have military attending the following games:  Alabama v LSU, Auburn v New Mexico St., Tennessee v Troy, Texas A&M v Mississippi St., Georigia v. Ole Miss and Arkansas v. Tulsa.  But you know the view here even if I didn't get to see it was still better than the view our military has seen while they were deployed!  So I'll keep plugging away at the emails, phone calls, emails, phone calls, spreadsheets and emails then I'll get to see the view .... check out www.gamedayforheroes.org

This is how I ended that part of the day

One of the funniest things is that I am just DYING to do SUP Yoga - yep Stand Up Paddle Board Yoga - can you imagine ... I can't even do yoga on the ground, but there is a new company that has just opened here in Carillon and I have to watch them do the dog something or another and the lying something or another and the stand down whatever and the funny thing is no one ever falls off the board.  How can that be?  Walking on Water Paddle Board is starting Yoga classes!  I had to laugh when I saw the hand out ... it offers Earth Yoga (I guess that is "old-fashion" yoga for us old folks - ya know I am 44), SUP Yoga and Hammock Yoga - yep you saw that Hammocks hanging from the ceiling ... well, I'll see if I can get my courage up --- keep ya posted.

So there is a wedding tomorrow so that is about as much excitement as there will be here in Carillon - looks like all these folks came from up north - little did they know it has been freezing down here ... jeez like low in the 50s - ya know they have to be freezing there northern butts off.  But tomorrow it is suppose to be beeeee uuuu tttt iiiii ffffuuuulllll - I just hate football is on all day ... cause I will be in front of the tv - but still emjoying the view!
