If you are interested in seeing my apartment, the beach and some pics of Phillip and Susan (and occasionally me) in such locations here's the link: http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~peddy/pictures.htm week 9 Sun, 26 Mar 2006 16:10:00-0700 http://www.oldgraycat.com/sarah/client/index.cfm/2006/3/26/addendum http://www.oldgraycat.com/sarah/client/index.cfm/2006/3/26/Another-day-another-dollar Well, another week has gone by. Work is dragging a bit right now. It gets old when you spend everyday walking from tree to tree staring up at cavities that the sun is inevitably right behind and trying to determine if they are active or not. On the plus side, I'm getting to do a lot of walking, which is always nice. The wildflowers are blooming now so I'm always seeing something pretty. I'm really looking forward to May and the start of the bog frog work. Although, I will miss spending my morinings with the rambuncious little woodpeckers. I did have a couple of new experiences to compliment the routine, though. I rode an ATV for the first time. Took a four hour class that was supposed to teach me all about ATVs so I could use them for work. Sadly, I was the only beginner in the class so it went a little fast for me (literally and figurativly). While trying to catch up with the rest of the class as they sped off I went a little too fast for me, lost control of the atv and hit a tree. Luckily I had pretty much jumped off the thing before it hit. I saw it coming, but could stop in time. Now when I say too fast, I mean going 15 mph rather than 10. I got a ugly bruise one thigh and wounded pride, but that's about it. I have also vowed never to use one again, because I just didn't enjoy the experience. I really feel that mixing Sarah and motorized vehicles is just not a good idea in any conditions. I also started taking belly dancing lesssons again. My co-worker Melissa and I are doing it on weds. Its much fun as always! My friend Teresa says that I should belly dance and play the banjo at the same time. She thinks I could really take that act on the road! OMG! I almost forgot, for those of you I haven't talked too, I was invited to Oregon State University to interview! I'm going on the 13th of April (I think) and will have to act intelligent, ambitious and friendly with lots of strangers for 3 whole days! Its gonna be an experience! But hopefully they'll like me and I'll get in. On the home front, I performed a new task today. I relit the pilot light on my water heater. I felt incredibly domestic and proud of myself after that small feat. Silly, but I've never had a place where I was responsible for any sort of maintainance. It just re-affirmed that I had a home! week 9 Sun, 26 Mar 2006 15:42:00-0700 http://www.oldgraycat.com/sarah/client/index.cfm/2006/3/26/Another-day-another-dollar
