I don't know much if any spanish but really does it matter? I leave for Spain on Friday! Barcelona > South Lots of places > ride a camel > see some apes > Mallorca! Riding and Shan and Jason's wedding! I am very nervous to be gone so long but excited too. Should be a great time.
My back is so so, got the MRI results back and it is at least expected... Spondy, Disc bulge and tear. Next step? Don't know, pain management is my guess. I just need to take care and keep active. Not sure if I will be able to run again, never liked it much but it is funny how you miss something when you can't do it.
I now have a 62lb puppy that loves to dig and eat my favorite plants and electrical cords. Good thing she tugged it (cord) out of the wall before devouring it. Too bad I didn't see what she had done til I plugged it in! OUCH! I am still mourning the loss of the most beautiful clematis ever! hopefully I can salvage the roots and it will grow again. All is good though, I love "little" Miley anyway she is the sweetest goofy puppy and she is always smiling.
Well I need to head off to start the last minute rush to get ready to leave.
Sorry to miss Mason Lake, well not that sorry. Good luck all, have fun and rubber side down!!!!
See ya at...oh, Sequim???

All at once
Wow, February is truning out to be a very full month, at least there is one extra day this year...
So much going on from all direction. Clothing for the team is in and I spent the weekend sorting and bagging it while waiting for people to come by and pick up. It is amazing how antsy I get if I "can't" leave my house because I have to be available for pick up. There was plenty for me to do there but all of the sudden I could think of a bunch of errands and stuff I 'could' be doing. Ah well, the grass is always greener or something like that. The kits look super cool my favorite part is the addition of the SRAM frogs. Frogs on my kit, cool! Dunno guess it is the zoologist in me that has been begging to have somekind of recognition since I do nothing related to that anymore (or I am just weird). :p
I am troop cookie manager now, talk about a pending nightmare! 1200 boxes of girl scout cookies are going to find their way to my house in a couple of weeks and I get to devide them all up and hope that the families come and get them ASAP otherwise I know one little Bernese Mnt Dog that will be far more tempted to get into the goods than over the weekend with lycra.
BTW if you are just dying for Girls Scout cookies before the cute littel girls harass you at the market, let me know I can hook you up.
Work craziness, writing a grant for a new sorter (not this minute, I needed a break) Got roped into speaking as an expert in my field not sure how it happend, they asked me for good topics they could have a seminar on. I gave them suggestions and they said that woudl be a great how about you do this part of the panel talk. What!! I couldn't say no after all I should try to challenge my self since I have been complaining that my job has been somewhat borring. That is next week.
Living situation is changing addition of a boy and his dog and two kitties (someday, they can't come over quite yet) how to make room?
Can't get to the snow, grr but at least I am riding my bike again. Hope to get back to Mazama mid Feb. but I don't know if that is in the cards right now.
Oh yeah, going to Spain on Feb 29th!! One week traveling around Barcelona, then south day trip to Maraco, then over to Mallorca for Shannon and Jason's wedding and cycling! WooHoo!
Better get back to writing my grant since it won't write itself.
Cheers!
