Dang it Guys and TWA 800


When I'm at 24 hour fitness on the treadmill, it seems like guys are checking me out. I take that as such a compliment being that I'm old. Well, I finally came to the realization that the guys are not checking me out. They have been checking themselves out in the mirror behind the treadmills for the past 2 years. Sigh. 
I have been reading in the news about the new documentary that is coming out in July about flight TWA 800.  It is very interesting. 

Yesterday, I'm looking for books to download from the library and I see Night Fall written by Nelson DeMille. It is a fiction story based on flight TWA 800. When I first started reading it, it was okay, but boy did it turn out to be a really intriguing book. I would highly recommend it. It was such a fun read. Perfect for the summer......if you consider government cover-ups and scandals summer reading....which apparently I do.

30th Reunion and Hayley graduates

I had a fun weekend. Lots of stuff going on.

Saturday was a big day. Hayley graduated. This was a huge deal for us. Several months ago for reasons unknown to me (she would not spill), Hayley wanted to quit school and get her GED. I think she stayed in school because she had one class that she really enjoyed. I believe this was the class that watched Honey Boo Boo ocassionally. Well if that's what it takes to keep her in school, so be it.
Three generations! Mom, Hayley, and me. We enjoyed a nice lunch at Babes.
Friday night was my 30th class reunion at J Gilligans in Arlington. I wasn't planning on attending, but decided to go. Glad I did. I had a really good time seeing everyone and reminiscing as far back as 3rd grade. Of course, I had to pay $55 to walk into a bar. I was so busy flitting around talking that I didn't take very many pictures. I hate it when I do that.

Okay on a side note. I downloaded that Waze application. How cool. You can see the accidents, traffic, and po po locations on your routes.

I've been cooking again lately. I had fresh zucchini from the farmer's market. I made zucchini cakes with a horseradish dipping sauce. My boyfriend who eats hots dogs and burgers like crazy draws the line at fried foods so he did not like my zuchhini cakes. I thought they were pretty good. This is not my recipe even thought it says  Connie....it's a different Connie.
