I totally forgot about livejournal since...forever! How could I? Made it back from Guatemala with a fresh perspective on life. Have started getting rid of things left and right because one person doesn't need so much stuff! Started back at work except I have had a set back- I have been sick since last Wednesday! My mom is calling it the mini H1N1. ( Read more... )

Leaving tomorrow for Guatemala. Flying for most of the day, then staying one night in Guatemala City. Saturday we are meeting up with the rest of the Faith in Practice group and taking a bus up to our final destination Retalhuleu. I am taking a journal and a camera so I can record my thoughts and observations. I am excited and nervous. I am really ( Read more... )

I am getting so anxious about my trip. I hate leaving Ben. Also, after I get back I have to face the real world again, make decisions about my job. I feel no closer to figuring out what I want to do and I still don't want to go back to med-surg. Bah. I put up some Halloween decorations this past weekend. If I end up going to a party this year I ( Read more... )

Hi, I recently talked with a Humboldt student who called me to update me on cool Humboldt stuff. She informed me, among other things, that a Humboldt graduate's photographs are going to be featured in next months National Geographic! Just FYI!!

Last night Ben and I danced around our office to Mr. Blue Sky.....and it reminded me of my days as the extra duckling member, dancing with you folks all over the house with that song blasting!!! Good memories ( Read more... )

I swear I have titled my post that before. Well it's true! Time never stops and we can have that message imbedded deep into us if you go see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Depressing!!! Anyhoo. I watched President Obama's (goodness that sounds good!) inaugeration speech in a classroom full of kindergarten and 1st graders. I will never forget ( Read more... )

And thus a softball game season comes to an end. We had our first playoffs game last night and we lost...but not without a fight! We were ahead the whole game until the end and I played first base! And kicked ass mind you. We played a team of all good hitters- even the girls! Who were built more like men with that upper body strength. But anyhoo I ( Read more... )

But I am confused about the whole stock market thing. It is plummeting- what exactly does that mean to me? Do I need to get my money out of the bank? Hide it in my mattress? Is this another Great Depression moment? Should I be freaked out or what is what I want to know. Do any of you understand the situation? Do tell....
