Back with a Vengance

Glad to be back. Just figured out how to sign in again. Living in OHIO again, thank goodness. Realized I enjoyed writing and plan to do so again.

Science Fair

Ever notice how a science fair seems to be the most complex thing when in reality it's just a bunch of projects on display? Seriously, everything becomes such an adventure in patience it's amazing. Tonight we went to Pizza Hut for dinner. (Our stove and fridge have been removed b/c our kitchen floor is missing.) It was the single biggest production/science fair I've ever been a part of. Honestly, it was shocking. I've never been privy to so many nincomepoops centralized in one very unfortunate establishment. It was truly awe-some.

Also, the past few days I've spent my work hours astranged to my office working on the creation of our new newsletter. It's something I've tried to get done for two years now, and finally they broke down and allowed it. I discovered that more than anything, I'm happiest when I'm creating. Whether it's drill, music, a newsletter, laying hardwood floor, I just really get into it. What can I do that allows me total creativity (and total control) and still pays well?

If The Shoe Fits

It was a fun drive on the way home from work on Halloween Night. As I looked over into the other cars driving dangerously too fast, as we love to do here, I couldn't help but giggle. I saw eggs driving a mini van. Elvis was tooling around in a Carola (never would have happened). Fred Flinstone on a hog.

Prior to the fun night, I had to work the Halloween Hayrides for my department. We were encouraged to dress for the occasion of fright and I chose a pirate as I already had the costume. Some of my coworkers chose to wait till arrival and grab a costume/mask out of a box-o-leftovers. Jason, werewolves, zombies and the like all made appearances. There was one gentleman though, who chose not to wear anything. We decided he would be known as the lazy Mexican. Which I know is derogatory, but before you start sending me hate mail, know that he is in fact highly regarded throughout our department as lazy and also, very much Mexican. So...if the shoe fits.

Not Dead 125!

This is my 125 th post. Man, I went from kick ass blogger to lame ass working schmoe. Got an interview tomorrow for a recycling gig. Puppy is good, weather is awesome. I played 90 holes of disc golf this weekend. Pretty fab-o.

That is all

Puppy!

Someone dropped off some puppies on the side of the road last week! Punks. An email went around and something inspired me to respond. So later that day I surprised Elisabeth with a new 10 week old (we think) puppy. The vet thinks she's a beagle coon hound mix. She's cute and walks on the leash great. She's better at pottie training and loves to hop around, which is why we're calling her cricket. She also likes to roll around and hide behind you or in between you and the couch. Funny puppy. Here is a picture of her and her sister, she is the brown one. Our computer is down and I can't upload my photos to another comp yet so this is the only photo we have. It's the one that went around in the original email.

Holy Balls

It's been a long time, I'm sure I've lost all my readers...sorry!

My computer is down and I'm doing this from work. Not sure what brought me here today.

I work for Crowder District Park now as a naturalist, about 60+ hours a week. It's with Wake County Parks Recreation and Open Spaces.

I also work for Town of Cary as a Ropes Facilitator...high and low. It's really fun and an additional 12-20 hours. Elisabeth is not very happy with all my hours, but it feels really great to wake up super early, work 14 hours and have lots of responsibility again.

I think I'll be home for thanksgiving, Luke what are your plans?

The band did really well this. Won Grand Champion twice and got a I at state for the first time in four years. I'm really excited to write drill again. I'm also going to try to get a band down here to write for, too.

Cassie, my cousin, lives with us now. It's great having her there. She is jobless so she cleans all the time and she pays rent.

We are all looking to get a puppy. We just got a box turtle yesterday for Elisabeth's class. Luke, what should she feed it?

Gotta run, the boss is in.
