Just thought I would do a little update. Last week was my birthday and it was nice. I went with my mother to see the Arctic Winter Games Curling finals. It was very interesting. You would have thought my mother was a lifelong curling fan. She was cheering like she knew what was going on. We then had dinner at my favorite restaurant in Homer; ( Read more... )

I am really enjoying volunteering at the dog shelter. It's amazing how my mood can be lifted just by spending a couple hours there. I completed my initial 12 hours and now have a name tag with my name on it and a new tshirt...whoo hoo....lol. Well, I looked at my name tag and it had a sticker of a cute little dog. On closer inspection, above ( Read more... )

I went to my orientation at the Animal Shelter so I could start walking dogs. I thought this would be a great way to interact with animals (since I can't have my own at the moment) and to get some exercise. Orientation was fine. Then I went and got the first dog. He was big, but friendly and was sitting so nice wagging his tail. I thought, this ( Read more... )

So, I woke up reeeallllyyyy early....way to early for a Saturday morning. After realizing that I'm going to have to call maintenance for a problem that was supposed to be fixed already, I was no longer tired. So, I made a pot of coffee and sat in front of my computer just surfing the web. Found some cool blogs that basically deal with politics and ( Read more... )

My New Year's goal for this year is to stop procrastinating. I always talk about the things I want to do, but I never take any action to actually do those things. I've made myself a little list of these things that I talk about doing. Two of the things that I've wanted to do is volunteer at the animal shelter and apply to UAA (early childhood ( Read more... )

I am very relieved.  I have been dreading a conference with a particular family about their daughter.  The little girl has some developmental delays and it is obviouse that she is in need of services and I had been told that her parents have been resistant to it in the past

Well, it was a pretty uneventful trip down to my parent's. My dad hung up his "installation" art piece. It's cool and as soon as my mother finally stops messing with it making a bunch of adjustments to it, I may just take a picture and post it on here. I'm really enjoying my time off, but it's starting to make me think about things in my life ( Read more... )

Well, Christmas is over..I fell asleep early and woke up late. Which is good. The last few nights I hadn't been going to bed until 1-3am and then getting up around 8 am trying to finish all those knitting projects..which I did. Yay me! Anyways, Christmas was really nice. I received some very nice gifts from my family and dinner was superb, if I ( Read more... )
