Labor Day in Dallas

So....originally, my boss wanted me to launch my online courses on Sept. 4th,--so I cancelled all of my travel plans in preparation for THAT madness. It eventually came clear to her that it was an almost impossible task (although, I must say that yours-truly was and IS ready to launch)--but, our new website is not available until Sept. 6th and our marketing partners wanted a week to market so....our new launch date for fall online classes is Sept. 17th. When the date got pushed back, I had already told my choir director I could sing for the Labor weekend service, but was told last night (Wednesday) at choir rehearsal, that I didn't need to sing! Long story short....I am going to Dallas for the weekend and I can't wait! WOOHOO!

Director of Online Learning

Well...I was promoted last week to be WATC's new Director of Online Learning. The first week has been really quite excellent. I think I am in a position to be of great use to this college. Wish me luck!

Family Reunion

I just returned last night from a most wonderful family reunion hosted by my sister Teresa and her family in Eudora, Kansas. We ate too much, sang lots of great songs, watched the little ones play and play and play, hunted elusive coyotes and basically strengthened our relationships with one and another. It was just the tonic I needed to prepare for what is going to (hopefully) be a very busy fall semester. I interview TOMORROW for the Director of Online Learning at my college, so keep your fingers crossed!
