I spy a famous person

Yes, it's true, I think I saw a famous person at the airport on Sunday.

As I was boarding my flight from Columbus to D.C. I saw a girl and her mother and the girl looked very familiar. I kept thinking I'd seen her before. When we were walking onto the plane her mother called her Emily. That's when it hit me...Emily Hughes-- little sister to Sarah, the Olympic gold medalist. For those of you who don't follow figure skating, Emily also went to the Olympics.

I still wasn't sure that it was her, but her mom looked familiar to me, too. I kinda watched them out of the corner of my eye, and managed to promptly lose track of them at the baggage claim.
As I was standing with my older sister outside of the airport, I saw them again. This time the mom had a sign that said "Hughes" and Emily was sporting a Nike gym bag. A car pulled up and whisked them off somewhere.
So, she looked like Emily Hughes and that was her name, so I think I'm safe to say it was her.

Just had to share! Have a great day.

a first for everything...

Yes, it's true, there is a first for everything, but I didn't think my first speeding ticket would be in town, on my first day at a new job, as I worked on my mental check-list. Alas, so it was. The very unfamiliar blue lights in my rearview mirror brought me back to reality in a hurry;) Thank the Lord that he was a nice officer. I've always had this fear, that if ever I was pulled over, I'd get some grumpy officer. He was so kind, but, wahhh, he didn't let me off. Oh well...it will teach me not to try to figure out my life and its chaos while driving through town. It was funny--when he came to my window, he leaned over and said.."do you have your license?" The way he said sure sounded like he thought I wouldn't have one. I can't still look 15, can I?
His words of wisdom for me as he walked away were..."Do me a favor, and pay more attention, k?" Check:)

This morning, on my way to day 2 at HSLDA, I was comforted to observe not one, not two, but three cars pulled over for speeding on about a five-mile strech of interstate. See, I'm not the only one.

Anyhow, life goes on. I'm finished with my nanny job. It's really hard to believe. The time went by slowly at times, and then at the end seemed to fly by.
HSLDA is busy as usual. It's amazing how much of the job I remember. It does make the transition easier.

I have to keep this short for now. But I wanted to stop by and at least say, "hi"
