Excellent benefits as a camp nurse......

By now most of you have come to realize that I don't believe in acting my age. Go figure!! This would be my working conditions at camp - quite a commute wouldn't you say? When I left my last job and put my trust in God, I wasn't sure this is what I had in mind. He certainly has his own ideas about expanding my limitations. This is called the "high-ropes" course at Wolf Ridge Enviromental Center where I am working the week for the MS Society as a camp nurse. It is a series of cables and logs that you work your way across 35 feet in the air. This teaches you teamwork & coaching - as there is a lot of spotting and safety checks.
I am truely a very lucky person that God is answering my prayers!

Dear Mr Bond

Time for coffee? The Bollinger is not iced.

Where to Next

Nope - not talking about career or work or whatever...... I'm thinking TRAVEL!!!!! What does 2008 have in store for this pair of wild travelers?? Good question. It's been an amazing 4 years when you think about it 2004 - Hawaii, 2005 Superior Trail, 2006 Hawaii, 2007 Indianapolis (there's a hot spot!) & Scotland & Paris.....2007 is going to be tough to beat. For 2008 we have 2 plans in the works - Cedar City, UT - Shakespeare Festival and then a reunion In the UP on Lake Superior/Porcupine Mtns with friends. The Utah trip is taking on a dimension all of it's own as airfares will not be coming down anytime soon (glad we got that Europe trip in last year) - so do we drive the 20 hours to get there or pay 430+ per person....hmmmm It will be interesting to see how that one shakes out!

Speaking of career - no, nothing yet. Looking & applying - waiting for God to give me a clearer idea of which way to go. Right now - house is getting painted, got the deck to finish staining. Then there's grouting in the bathroom & the sink to fix (AGAIN).....and a few other weird ideas. Who knows.

Home again, Home again

Or maybe it should be as the world spins out into orbit? lol - not really. I jumped off that merry go round. Or should it be reality set in? The job that was the "I can do this till I retire" was doing a number on me. Emotionally, physically and spiritually. After working 55-60 hour weeks for the past 6 months, we were told they were adding another 10 hours/week to our work load. Ah, no thanks. And that promise of working from home 50% of the time..."um, no." Non-communication & other shady issues at the top - involving the stock market and its regulatory board. No thank you. I am sleeping better (sleeping is better than not right;) , and my stomach is not full of acid as it has been for the last 3-4 months.

So ..... I'm unemployed - I put my trust in God and gave my 2 week notice.

I certainly have neglected not only Kate & Mom but fixing things that need attention. I have a feeling I was about to be "voted off the island".

So here's to house paint, deck repair and sewing!

Movies

....Speaking of Lord of the Rings Triology, I just finished watching them back to back on Sat. and was rather comatose by the end. That left me thinking - just were would Middle Earth be if Strider had hit dirt instead of water when the Woag knocked him over the clif?? Who would tosh Gimlee to the hordes of Orcs on the bridge? What would have happened to Eowin - would she have walked the dead forest forever??? Gasp!!!

And aren't you glad Mr Ledger didn't depart us in the middle of something? What a waste. Dork, stupid, idiot...... . Who else could get Matt Damon to squeal like a little girl ..........I will miss him greatly. I truely am sadden by this senseless death :(

But so as not to daudle in melancholy I really do think its time for a new Pierce Brosnan film. Especially something dashing :)

It's been a bit, but lots of things swimming inside my head (no not literally....this time!)

As promised - photos from the trip! Excuse the low quality of some of the photos - they were from a phone.
