In case anybody still follows this blog, then I figure it's about time to let you know that I am in South Dakota. I have been here since last October. I work in a rock shop in the famous Wall Drug....in Wall, South Dakota, about 8-10 miles away from Badlands National Park.

I took that picture soon after I started working here last Fall. I have been learning more about rocks and always seem to find something interesting every week.
I recently applied for an income-based apartment here in town but haven't heard back from the housing managers. We have 2 different income-based apartment buildings here and tomorrow I will walk over to check out the 2nd one. I like this little town and hope to stay here permanently. I am getting tired of moving around the country and starting over in new places.
Last month I rejoined Weight Watchers online. I signed up for 6 months. It's been a learning experience because now I can scan barcodes on packages to get the points value on my favorite snacks, and I found out that I should stop eating some of my favorites. I weigh more now than I did when I started this blogger page years ago. Yesterday I was at 188#. I want to lose about 50+ pounds. If I could lose 70# then that would be perfect...but doesn't sound very realistic. Well actually losing 50# doesn't either. I have tried that for years and its never happened.
ok lets see if this will post...I have been on WordPress so long that I have forgotten how blogger works.Sunni-Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08847833479523608970noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581315760738166741.post-28372989342675332132020-11-02T12:27:00.001-08:002020-11-02T12:36:17.742-08:00November 2020<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8hpw3kxfTXnlWKBVPJFljs2RlXmnjQYjmwIDh6d4fMXKdj2TBHTH4w_1v20g3-MG64PQYpl-5LE6WiBPl_VcALlz4pi7QELRdswufjWA0rwqH-uICGZEpVV2lie05pWmCLNLGOSlCZ34/s720/scales_change.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="488" data-original-width="720" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8hpw3kxfTXnlWKBVPJFljs2RlXmnjQYjmwIDh6d4fMXKdj2TBHTH4w_1v20g3-MG64PQYpl-5LE6WiBPl_VcALlz4pi7QELRdswufjWA0rwqH-uICGZEpVV2lie05pWmCLNLGOSlCZ34/s320/scales_change.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Well I am in Arizona (again), a state that doesn't change its clocks...except my laptop, tablets and fitbit were all set with Pacific Time Zone from my time of living in Death Valley.

I arrived in Flagstaff on July 3rd. I figured it was a good spot to wait for the HR department of my next job to contact me. The job is in Tusayan ( the little community outside of the Grand Canyon National Park). Flagstaff is about 1.5 hours away.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Waiting for the HR department is also not easy to do. I have been in contact with my future boss. He is also a past boss, as my next job is one that I left 2 years ago. But we have to wait for HR to go through all the proper procedures.<br />
<br />
So while I wait, I am spending time watching alot of food network on television. Actually it's almost 6am, so I should go catch a bus to get breakfast. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Of course getting a room over the 4th of July weekend is not the easiest or the cheapest thing to do.Sunni-Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08847833479523608970noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581315760738166741.post-43937313837753571662019-07-14T15:55:00.000-07:002019-07-14T15:55:27.170-07:00Summer Haircut<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When the temperature is up to 124°, then it's time to chop my hair off.</div>

Been working at Stovepipe Wells, since last June.
So many stormy clouds tonight, I don't think there's a chance to see the moon.
But the air feels nice with a slight breeze. It's March so I won't freeze.<br />
<br />

Today I went riding around with my friend Cindy. She showed me where the original spot for the "WELL" for the Stovepipe Wells area was. We both don't understand why the village wasn't closer to the Well. Why would you find a water hole in this HOT dry barren desert, and then make a village 10+ miles away?<br />
<br />
Anyways I plan on staying here for 1 more year. Next year in March, I will probably think about different locations to travel to. For now, I will continue being a desert-rat. I just hope the heat this coming Summer isn't as brutal as it was last year. 130 degrees is not something I can do every summer for the rest of my life.<br />
<br />
Ooh, and tonight my roomie is packing up to leave. She is moving somewhere Southeast of here with her boyfriend. Which means I will have a room to myself for awhile.<br />

The last few years I have been all over the country.
2015...went to work at Mt Rushmore for the Summer season,
Then 2015-2016 Winter season I went to Death Valley.
Summer of 2016, I went to Yellowstone but I left early.
So from mid-July to September 1st, I stayed in Cedar City Utah. The picture below is from a park in Cedar City that I loved to visit. It wasn't there when I lived here in the 80's.

Then I came back to work in the Desert View area of the Grand Canyon National Park...I love this area of the park. So quiet and remote.
Well some personal issues popped up (that I won't get into) and I ended up leaving AZ. Went to stay with an aunt in Georgia for about 2.5 months. Then got a car from her neighbors and moved to Brunswick, Georgia. I stayed in Georgia till Thanksgiving then took a greyhound bus back to AZ. See my car stopped working a few months after I bought it.

So now I am working in the general store in Tusayan. I like the job, but hate the housing situation...so hoping to save $$$ to move again. Actually I already applied for couple jobs inside the park.

I left NH, to return to AZ, in March 2014. Then I moved to Las Vegas in Nov 2014.
Now I am applying to variety of seasonal jobs. I had a phone interview yesterday
for a prep cook/waitress job @ Cliff Dwellers Lodge at Marble Canyon, AZ. It's
near Lees Ferry...about 45 minutes South of Page, AZ.
Usually I hate interviews, but this was more like the guy telling me about the
company & wanting to make sure I could handle living in isolation. Oh believe me,
I thrive better in isolation better then most people I know. The guy said he would
call at a later date after he figures out the exact start date...sometime in late
February.
Now while I was at the Desert View are of the Grand Canyon, last year I had picked
up some historical books on that area, and had wanted to explore it for myself.
Now I might get my chance to do that.Sunni-Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08847833479523608970noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581315760738166741.post-52574399457322989342013-06-11T12:03:00.000-07:002013-06-11T12:03:22.516-07:00For: Military FamiliesFor anyone still following me, I have been back in my hometown of Plymouth NH, living with family.

Well after finally filling out all the needed info on the website, I finally got a job offer at the Grand canyon 4 days later. Not the job I applied for but still...it only took them 4 days to offer me a job. WOW, I have personally heard the HR staff tell people that it takes at least 4 weeks to hear anything; and it only took me 4 days. I guess I should look at thaat in a positive light. :)
I start back to work there on July 16th. I am leaving Cooper Landing on July 2nd, to go spend a couple days in Anchorage and then I fly out to Phoenix on July 5th. My brother paid for the plane ticket and prices get jacked up after the 5th. So I'm trying to arrange a schedule to visit a friend in Prescott for a few days, and then spend a few days in Flagstaff and then maybe a couple days visiting another friend in Williams before I start work.
Right now it's almost midnight in Alaska, but you can walk all around the yard without a flashlight. I love the fact that it doesn't really get dark here, but I also love the sunsets at the Grand canyon. But it gets so dark in Arizona after a sunset. I guess in order to enjoy a sunset I will have to tolerate the darkness again.
There was a few things I had wanted to do at the canyon before and never gotten around to do them; guess I'm getting a second chance to check off more items on my bucket-list now.Sunni-Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08847833479523608970noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581315760738166741.post-72685582517495543202012-02-28T04:03:00.004-08:002012-02-28T04:21:30.990-08:00New Friend- Willow the Mule<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijDMZ8ucqKUYTFY1wKTyWRnF0D1RZ3jjtGRQyWJpTIr3deIznfar_kqpXv6vHhsc958ND0EkCaxPlzoLvTw_g2nGxOQkHv9T6drexCdX75QPB0f7u03mqwbuGz7JWvD_f42WeyZJ6bDwQ/s1600/2.27.12+015.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijDMZ8ucqKUYTFY1wKTyWRnF0D1RZ3jjtGRQyWJpTIr3deIznfar_kqpXv6vHhsc958ND0EkCaxPlzoLvTw_g2nGxOQkHv9T6drexCdX75QPB0f7u03mqwbuGz7JWvD_f42WeyZJ6bDwQ/s200/2.27.12+015.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5714157704301482146" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTWu_uU3UJmt9CzF2oL85H9vqciPQhnCa6kBQSgyDv8nWm6cblhd5NxTrGsLJ59JGnJmb7vvc-W6YgJM0r07PaDwjEl2vCEeyYLrhEDXS14qrUBQifbA-ULHMYDLNzLrJ6_wm7WW5EIOQ/s1600/2.27.12+068.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTWu_uU3UJmt9CzF2oL85H9vqciPQhnCa6kBQSgyDv8nWm6cblhd5NxTrGsLJ59JGnJmb7vvc-W6YgJM0r07PaDwjEl2vCEeyYLrhEDXS14qrUBQifbA-ULHMYDLNzLrJ6_wm7WW5EIOQ/s200/2.27.12+068.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5714157696070636722" /></a><br /><br />I'm riding a HUGE mule named Willow. She was so big I needed help getting on & off of her. Once I was on her, she didn't seem so big. The wranglers chose this mule for me because she is good with kids and anyone who is not used to riding. But someone really needs to invent a padded saddle, cuz my butt still hurts this morning. Not sure how the mule-packers & tour guides can ride everyday....course someone on facebook told me that your butt gets tenderized and toughens up when you ride alot.<br /><br />Well I can cross the mule-ride off my bucket list now, and I have no desire to do it again. My mule was great but the saddle was not. Not sure how I am going to work today...glad I only have a 1/2 shift today.<br /><br />Today I woke up to snow outside and some very cold wind...glad I ain't riding a mule today :)Sunni-Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08847833479523608970noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581315760738166741.post-57664176866894694842012-01-30T16:31:00.000-08:002012-01-30T16:43:09.549-08:00Pics of the day: DEER<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh29muuI4Vg1TPp62I_8elMlss5t_vKnXOcwQotzP2SjPMZMytHFrbmn2yLUMDzQ5q6D1UffjbvnNOxcM2hAANUDInigPGYOmyz7HVCByDQmyhynhjLR8MXwy9jBmRNBy_Zwne20RpYQVU/s1600/1.30.2012+008.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh29muuI4Vg1TPp62I_8elMlss5t_vKnXOcwQotzP2SjPMZMytHFrbmn2yLUMDzQ5q6D1UffjbvnNOxcM2hAANUDInigPGYOmyz7HVCByDQmyhynhjLR8MXwy9jBmRNBy_Zwne20RpYQVU/s200/1.30.2012+008.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703588507184990210" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNjEG215cm9JZ2U5Xr0ULr7qvfy95zEmsXq5AHpiO-5uMI9XR2iwUl-rR6hbJ1FDQVg1GiEN7HAzDwrfmYHDkdhwMVeq989-5yL-EBi61jBqwWuZwmc0ehq-Agq0XghTZtNsSWkMlcd3M/s1600/1.30.2012+003.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNjEG215cm9JZ2U5Xr0ULr7qvfy95zEmsXq5AHpiO-5uMI9XR2iwUl-rR6hbJ1FDQVg1GiEN7HAzDwrfmYHDkdhwMVeq989-5yL-EBi61jBqwWuZwmc0ehq-Agq0XghTZtNsSWkMlcd3M/s200/1.30.2012+003.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703588499239243186" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYAfAYUf20JQ0ccPrYl0nyDWOTcJ_GvmMWhNvfqmipJ8GwBJ2T-xdTOf9I8EmgPGd7alVjaPddUrV2y9xIKYPmtgTU0XppJk8vHLVHXLtauXKok2xYK7UGiI3_bXQ7mG4uLkZoFV7SAdM/s1600/1.30.2012+002.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYAfAYUf20JQ0ccPrYl0nyDWOTcJ_GvmMWhNvfqmipJ8GwBJ2T-xdTOf9I8EmgPGd7alVjaPddUrV2y9xIKYPmtgTU0XppJk8vHLVHXLtauXKok2xYK7UGiI3_bXQ7mG4uLkZoFV7SAdM/s200/1.30.2012+002.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703588493822624994" /></a><br /><br /><br />I walked down to Maswik to get something to eat, for an early dinner.

I didn't want to buy a new costume just to wear for 1 night as I have no plans of carrying a costume to Alaska with me when I move in March.<br /><br />I think pirate costumes were the "in" thing this year, as quite a few kids had some kind of pirate costume.Sunni-Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08847833479523608970noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581315760738166741.post-83242200279419568092011-06-06T01:59:00.001-07:002011-06-06T02:08:52.898-07:00Yesterday in Tusayan<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTOBO2y45Od9PM8cExTP7HN69ZKHoUBOtSQYtJ5zE6z0D6rDZSoTKKRLq9gfGQ70tLrQTOhn0iiRMDAtiWnkVtIF3EnyrKaj7rGUWnmRWwksk6MnEP3S1wDs0O2xGj_e3bNdBndf7QO9g/s1600/6.5.11+044.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTOBO2y45Od9PM8cExTP7HN69ZKHoUBOtSQYtJ5zE6z0D6rDZSoTKKRLq9gfGQ70tLrQTOhn0iiRMDAtiWnkVtIF3EnyrKaj7rGUWnmRWwksk6MnEP3S1wDs0O2xGj_e3bNdBndf7QO9g/s200/6.5.11+044.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615029480672046146" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0qAUeBo1nPDGg4QEE9i_-oahhL4KULiYGuN6XwIXYs3A3U3mCm6hVppggbWI97ph6J-DLVklcIIpngLJ3lgHBL8LmGEl5TJDiMd9Zdk3HBKzYn-GylEb3RM2P94JjN70UGrNtFnplBDI/s1600/6.5.11+033.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0qAUeBo1nPDGg4QEE9i_-oahhL4KULiYGuN6XwIXYs3A3U3mCm6hVppggbWI97ph6J-DLVklcIIpngLJ3lgHBL8LmGEl5TJDiMd9Zdk3HBKzYn-GylEb3RM2P94JjN70UGrNtFnplBDI/s200/6.5.11+033.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5615029471228064130" /></a><br /><br />There is a new Live bird-show down at the IMAX theater in Tusayan. I finally went to check it out. Glad I get in free. No video cameras are allowed in the show but I was allowed to bring my digital camera in...I have more pictures on facebook.<br />One of the show's highlights is a raven that will come get dollar bills out of your hand and then put it into a fundraiser box.<br /><br />The Pizza Hut area is also going through some recent changes, and they are hoping to make a buffet area in the future. I ate the orange chicken rice-bowl. There wasn't much going on in the art show area down near McDonald's. Hopefully there will be more tables out later in the Summer.Sunni-Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08847833479523608970noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581315760738166741.post-74780284971826927632011-05-07T01:20:00.000-07:002011-05-07T01:29:49.189-07:00New Look<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf0vb2lGLPOPUUyCNkwaLQGlr6ZBn_zE-UIdQQQPtzSacbVNmDZLyHLMoI4lFzDngrx2oHS4te4uKgm-LdZlUHgB-kQz1-1HQk1aVw3MGX7glA56F893RgDbBkpRNZN5eKIfHWJ5rCT_I/s1600/5.3.2011+042.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf0vb2lGLPOPUUyCNkwaLQGlr6ZBn_zE-UIdQQQPtzSacbVNmDZLyHLMoI4lFzDngrx2oHS4te4uKgm-LdZlUHgB-kQz1-1HQk1aVw3MGX7glA56F893RgDbBkpRNZN5eKIfHWJ5rCT_I/s200/5.3.2011+042.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603886795568951698" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLGMOmlIQ4Z1svWrkO9a_dE8DB6-lXrt1YedpJfV7BD08YsCU5wv42-HhRrGQbJtOgt68RM4iKqoYopQtxLpOWf-idMQ3zUZ8H2LoMo8SH1JB3caQNwGLF_X8sA_DRqG-pLG9_yNy9ato/s1600/5.3.2011+041.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLGMOmlIQ4Z1svWrkO9a_dE8DB6-lXrt1YedpJfV7BD08YsCU5wv42-HhRrGQbJtOgt68RM4iKqoYopQtxLpOWf-idMQ3zUZ8H2LoMo8SH1JB3caQNwGLF_X8sA_DRqG-pLG9_yNy9ato/s200/5.3.2011+041.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603886791867246418" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDLXWPhoRtIohl3fJjNKWfsvh6gUy8I1uDxOYFTPg070GNn27Xdrgo8hQoF5xaErK-pU-OUDp6JjDtT2cj3z10nCv4x0Z5u05nMqVxso7sd10RPQ9ARmn2duNcIU4WJw-eBczbiDPeBwY/s1600/5.3.2011+040.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDLXWPhoRtIohl3fJjNKWfsvh6gUy8I1uDxOYFTPg070GNn27Xdrgo8hQoF5xaErK-pU-OUDp6JjDtT2cj3z10nCv4x0Z5u05nMqVxso7sd10RPQ9ARmn2duNcIU4WJw-eBczbiDPeBwY/s200/5.3.2011+040.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5603886785580185794" /></a><br /><br />I cut & colored my hair this week.

Otherwise we would of had to wait for the 3:45 shuttle. Luckily Tess was driving the shuttle too because she gave Phil the local discount for the ride.<br /><br />After dropping his 1 and only backpack off in my room, we went to eat at Yavapai. He got the chicken Parmesan…which wasn’t to bad he said. I got the Chicken Pot Pie…which had to much pepper in it.<br /><br />When we woke up on Monday morning (yesterday) it was snowing outside..and damn cold. We went to Bright Angel Restaurant for lunch. Surprised that it was so busy there. We went out to the rim to get a few pictures of the canyon with snow. But neither one of us can download them at this moment.<br /><br />Later at about 9:30 or 10pm, we decided to walk over to the men’s dorm to raid the candy machine. Been here 4 years and that was the first time I ever walked over there at night. Philip got soda & 2 Twix candybars. and he finished the soda right when we got back to my dorm building. I got M&M’s, 3 musketeers, and some cinnamon roll pastry thing.<br /><br />Today I need to take him into the housing office so he can get his visitor’s pass. Maybe they will even let him sign-in for his own room and let him start orientation on Thursday. They might just figure seeing as he is already here that they might as well. Which will be good before he goes totally stir-crazy from boredom.<br /><br />Later I should show him where the rec center is and get him a month’s pass for the gym. That will cost $10 per month or $60 for the whole year. At least with the month’s pass…he can start running on the treadmills until it warms up outside, and it will give him something to do if he still has to wait for April 4th to sign in for his own housing & job. Besides I have to go back to work early Thursday morning and he will need something to do then if he can’t get into the next orientation group…or he will really go stir-crazy & die of boredom.Sunni-Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08847833479523608970noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581315760738166741.post-25797015098065280152011-02-20T15:10:00.001-08:002011-02-20T15:18:30.989-08:00more Pics from Monument Valley<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN-MeixpbMIBl1B15kzfZ0f4jgUYUSVCb5bdKPve5Fi8Fs45Q7yadP63fHl4zmlX_9h-TK-zu6qY7R_Gtw5E4vxpnvZApf0ZZBNpSzxXthb11PWVYemOvVaBKKoOn-sVcen2EdxrNsq0Y/s1600/2.19+011.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 134px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5575914195088973506" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN-MeixpbMIBl1B15kzfZ0f4jgUYUSVCb5bdKPve5Fi8Fs45Q7yadP63fHl4zmlX_9h-TK-zu6qY7R_Gtw5E4vxpnvZApf0ZZBNpSzxXthb11PWVYemOvVaBKKoOn-sVcen2EdxrNsq0Y/s200/2.19+011.jpg" /></a> watching a couple tumbleweeds rolling around.

Real early seeing as I was only in bed for about 3-4 hours.<br />But I started doing my laundry at 3am today and made coffee. Wierd thing is...I only work 11am-3pm today.<br /><br />Some co-workers laugh & shake their head at my wierd sleep schedule. But I like it and I figure 'if it ain't broken, then don't fix it'. I hate the "rushed" feeling of waking up at the last minute and running around like a chicken with its head cut off and worrying about the possibility of missing the bus & being late for work.<br /><br />By getting up early, I have plenty of time to do laundry, check emails & facebook, do some yoga, eat & shower, and take out the trash on my way to the bus stop. That is all before I usually leave at 6am. Seeing as I have a short day today, I will probably bring my camera into work...which means I will probably do another blog later today with pictures from work.<br /><br />Guess I'm done rambling for now...today is Wed, which means its time to watch the latest episode of "Biggest Loser" on hulu.<br /><br />--I have also had plenty of time today to read blogs from others (yes I read lots of them)--<br /><a href="http://balanceinme.com/">http://balanceinme.com/</a><br /><a href="http://jedc4xer.blogspot.com/">http://jedc4xer.blogspot.com/</a> someone who spends alot of time IN the canyon<br /><a href="http://turquoisedeathspider.blogspot.com/">http://turquoisedeathspider.blogspot.com/</a> Someone who must be living here at GC<br /><a href="http://kyree90.wordpress.com/">http://kyree90.wordpress.com/</a> she's an editor for a Flagstaff newspaper.

I mean where else am I going to get yummy portabello mushrooms & broccoli with 3 eggs made to order. It's my favorite breakfast there...or at least from the ones I have tried. If it didn't cost so much more then E-Cafe, I would eat at BA more often.<br /><br />Now I just got to figure out the point s value for this meal before I go to my Weight Watchers meeting later this evening.<br /><br />Right at this moment it's 44 degrees outside and according to weatherbug it should get up to the low 50's today. With the sun shining outside, it feels like a Spring day. At least here anyways...my family back East have been getting snow and below 0 temps.Sunni-Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08847833479523608970noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581315760738166741.post-69726448426345142902011-01-24T05:27:00.000-08:002011-01-24T05:42:45.742-08:00I'm Staying<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRWVqTU-duBBzwQpyLhTUuJ2E9syPVhA8PL2koVLi5jIHTCr4H-wGxezezBdUZ4lffcp7EPF7mCGp_VShkGWmVtfdZA1kMaByutUHIvHTgFZYP_jLvoSPL-MsC74CyZcikfOZtlfQL1eM/s1600/1.2011.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565743888185081986" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRWVqTU-duBBzwQpyLhTUuJ2E9syPVhA8PL2koVLi5jIHTCr4H-wGxezezBdUZ4lffcp7EPF7mCGp_VShkGWmVtfdZA1kMaByutUHIvHTgFZYP_jLvoSPL-MsC74CyZcikfOZtlfQL1eM/s200/1.2011.jpg" /></a> Couple months ago I started applying to a bunch of different jobs in Alaska. Recently I wrote my brother and told him that I would be staying here @ GCSR.<br /><br />Oh every now & then I will still daydream about Alaska but if I want to see it bad enough I will just have to save money and use my 2 weeks of vacation time to go up there for a visit.<br /><br />At least by just visiting, I won't have to get rid of lots of stuff in order to pack and move. And after a visit I would still be able to come home to GCSR to my own "single-status" room.<br />Moving to Alaska or anywhere else would mean I get stuck with a roommate.<br /><br />And yes, GCSR still feels like home.<br />Oh & by the way, the picture in this blog was taken at the award banquet this month. I went with a neighbor as her guest. My neighbor has been working here for 25 years. My 5th-yr anniversary will be up in March 2012 but my own awards banquet will be in 2 years.

Well my birthday isn't until March 16th and I was thinking I would try and see if there was an open spot at the campground at Indian Gardens around the first week of April.<br /><br />Today after work, I went to the backcountry office to check out available dates and was told that space was available for the 13th & 14th of April....so I took both nights. Yee-Haw, I can hardly wait. <br /><br />Now whenever I hike that far...my knees are just starting to kill me, and it seems like forever to get back up out of the canyon afterwards (but so worth it). Anyways, this time I am really going to try to prepare for this hike. <br />For anyone who has never done this hike...it's only 4.6 miles of a winding steep trail. The longest 4.6 miles that I have ever hiked back up. <br /><br />Anyways in other news...had a short day at work. 1 fun thing about working in a cafeteria is that it gets interesting to watch what different people order for lunch.Sunni-Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08847833479523608970noreply@blogger.com0
