Panama

Off to Panama for 7 days of surf camp adventure :) woohoo!!!

Happy Turkey Day everyone.

opportunity

I've been hunkering down in my cave lately so no blog postings, etc. Sorry! I would like to report that I am finally a registered Landscape Architect :)! I had my oral interview on Friday. As it turned out, it was nothing more than a technicality. Good thing because I only spent about 2 hrs preparing for it. It's nice to have that over with and I am enjoying the accomplishment.

There have been some other work changes resulting from the ecomony, or should I say what remains of it. I am happy to report that I am still employed, even though it is at a reduced hours work week. I haven't actually worked a short week yet because as soon as I found out that my slackin, vacation lovin life style was going to be financially crimped, I threw out the word that I was looking for other opportunities to make some cash. This town in amazing! In a matter of 2 days I had a side job lined up as a photographers assistant - random!, but fun, and since then other random filler jobs have been trickling in. I have to take this opportunity to thank my parents for instilling in me, good ol' fashion work ethic! It's saving my ass right now :)

shocked and amazed

Pete was in a commercial yesterday for Lithia Motors and his role was to act shocked and amazed at the low prices. He demonstrated for Derek and I last night. I think it's convincing. What do you think?

Halloween and beyond...

Here's what I will look like in 50 years...or would have looked 50 years ago. I don't think this apple rolled too far from the family tree because I think I've seen this before...Derek kept laughing at me but for some reason he went out in public with me anyway. I've been a moving mad girl the past week. Derek, Leah and I went out on Halloween and ended up cutting a rug at the Siskiyou. It was a blast! Moving the next day went really well too. I have spent the last week getting settled into the new place, decorating, etc. The boys have been very patient with me and I really appreciate the freedom they have granted me to girl up the new pad. It definately has the bachelor pad thing going on a bit, but nothing like before. For instance, I am sitting on the kitchen couch listening to music and surfing the web. This was Pete's idea and I just went along with it to humor him, but it's great! Of course, there is still a couch out in the living room too.

Derek played me some music while we waited for the trick or treaters to take all the candy. He is a very talented musician and I enjoy listening to him play.

Leah was adorable on Halloween, as usual. She had wings too :)!
