Bright and early this morning, the alarm clock sounded its melodic summons. It was 5:15 AM. Normally this would not be a problem; I usually rise early. However, I’ve just come off a week of vacation: staying up later and getting up later. This is the day that Chris and I decided that we would start getting up early and going for walks together in the morning instead of trudging through the heat of the evening. Our current course is a little over two miles, but that should increase in the next couple weeks. We will soon be tackling THE HILL. I’ve mentioned this hill before; I’ve spent quite a deal of time on it myself, but Chris has yet to attempt it. Since I’ve been walking with him I haven’t done it for a while. It’s really not that big of a deal; a half a mile up, a mile round trip. However, it is pretty steep, and it was what got me into such great shape a few summers ago. I’m hoping that it does for me what it once did.
Today was my first day on my new job. I’ve mentioned that I am playing the role of a receptionist this summer at the school where I teach. I have been telling people for weeks that my hours were from 8 – 3. However, this morning, after being there for a few hours, I discovered that I do not have to be there until 9. I suppose that it’s good that I found out today instead of getting here an hour early for weeks and then finding out. For those of you who know me well, you know that this type of silly mistake is not at all an uncommon occurrence for me. I have to remember to take enough with me to keep me occupied during those lulls between phone calls. Today I spent a ridiculous amount of time playing on my college alumni site. Which reminds me…. I need to get up and move around as much as possible. After sitting for such long stretches I wasn’t sure if I would be able to move. I’m used to being in constant motion.
How are you at the crossword in the newspaper? I never tried to tackle it until I met Chris, and even then we’d work on it together. However, as there is not much for me to do in between answering the phone I thought I’d try doing them on my own this summer. I am great at the crosswords in People magazine, being the pop culture guru that I am, but the one in the newspaper kicks my butt. Perhaps that doesn’t speak well of me; I hope that I am not showing my ignorance too much. Ah, who cares? At least I keep trying.

Yeah, I remember how boring that job really was. It gets a little better during Summer of Champions, when there's more people wandering around and asking questions.
I used to do that crossword puzzle when I worked the concessions stand for the summer camps. It was nice 'cause I alway had Jeff (Brothers) to help me out. He's awesome at those things!
