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!

Spellcheck wasn't working when I went to post this so there are my usual typos and general misspellings due to my lack of know how to spell :)
ooooooooh I was a girl scout! I was in the best troop: lots of camping and forest stomping and nerd stuff, and yes selling lots of cookies. Going into that troop leader's garage with thousands of cookie boxes was the closest I've gotten to feeling like I'm in Willy Wanka's Chocolate Factory. The only thing keeping me from eating everything in sight was my mother (and I guess I should thank her).
But, uh, no I don't need any cookies now. :)
