long, long, long, long day. i wore shoes today, and my feet feel even sorer. this was the big day. THE kentucky derby. 20 horses all running in one big circle. hundreds of thousands of people losing money. maybe a couple thousand winning their lost money back.
you know, it was very exciting today. what a big event to be a part of. vince young was there, john salley was there, numerous other "important" people were there, not to mention the queen of england. the historical race took place again and like always there was a winner. the race was exciting and the only people to miss it was everyone in the infield. the infield where once again i was working. the infield where most of the people were passed out by the end of the day. the infield where the crazies abound.
my booth was once again slow and boring most of the time, due to what i would call the police presence of the mobile headquarters in our area. me and a friend, jackie, took a walk half way through the day and ended up working in the crazy part of the infield. 3 hours of non-stop work. and then back to the first booth.
i am glad to be working for a cause. i love the people i am and will be working with. more than ever i am looking forward to this summer. i'm not sure if Will Partin is going to read this blog but in the small chance that he takes a peak i will keep my endearments for the man absent. no sense making him believe that i like him more than i like his wife. but they are a reason to look forward to this summer and why it's so hard to have patience.
i miss you all my friends. ever so much does my heart long for those who have been a part of me for the last four years. i have been split inside because liz and erin and maggie are in africa and i just imagine in my mind what they are doing and what they are experiencing. i think to all my friends in different states. how can i be whole without them.
thanks for tuning in. email me sometime.
