I just had a perfect week at work! I was running an adventure/nature themed summer camp and we spent every day hiking around the extensive river valley in our city. We found animal skeletons, caught frogs, skipped rocks, split stones open to find quartz crystals, climbed down into ravines, bushwacked through forests (my legs are scratched to ribbons), organized a giant orienteering course for the kids, and generally just explored everything in the area. Then today I on a whim started searching for fossils with the kids on the side of the river. They fetched broken, jagged rocks for me and I washed the mud off and inspected them. I had no expectation of finding one, the kids just really enjoyed looking with me. Then right before we left I found a rock with odd strations on in. Rinsed it off, looked at it again. It has two fossil imprints on leaves on it! So cool!

ETA: after consulting a fossil book, they could be fish fins instead of leaves. Even cooler!

You sound like an great camp counselor, In Texas they have a lake rimmed in fish fossils ( Fossil Lake) I could spend hours there I love being a tom boy !

[Fufa]

Being a tom boy rocks! I do switch back and forth back to girly (my closet is stocked with 20+ dresses), but I love the cool, the gross, the messy, the fun, and the adventurous. And especially trying new things. I will usually try something at least once! The latest things I've tried are solo skydiving, and backcountry backpacking with my hubby.

[jella]

I was told once.."oh your not a Tom Boy your a country girl" ,I grew up in 4-H showing cattle and horses but I always dressed like a girly girl I guess I am the ying and the yang hehe

[Eric]

I get to post in the Happy Thread finally! Yea!

So, after a year & a half of unemployment and only one interview (yes- one. Hundreds & hundreds of resumes, one nibble in 18 months), I have an interview when I get back from the playa! No details so I don't curse anything, but there's a good chance that if we can come to a salary agreement it's mine. *happy sigh*

[graidawg]

[jella]

Yay Eric !! Hold onto that good feeling, you deserve it
Hope you get the job.

[Savannah]

I've got my fingers crossed for Eric all casual-like, behind my back, so as not to scare the job away . . .

What a nice thing to come home to after the burn.

[Trishntek]

Once I get this party tonight out of the way, I can really concentrate on preparation for packing the truck Tuesday. I feel a steam roller coming,,, and,,, and,,, I'm ready for the ride!

Best wishes for you Eric. It's about fucking time your life found a bone. I honestly hope all the best for you.

[Elderberry]

Yeah for Eric!

[Jax Dee]

I'm thinking happy thoughts for you Eric! Good luck!

[maryanimal]

Well, Since taking 1600 mg of ibuprofen today, My left side issues felt better today. Hooray!! Huzzah!! Plus I bbq'd some chicken quarters tonight for dinner! Yummy! Damn I'm good!! (Sorry Figgy!)

[ygmir]

hooray, for MA!!

[maryanimal]

What a day.

Ok Will!
I won't sit still! and it's all because
of a big fat pill.

So I will play
the day away
And one thing is for sure,
I'll listen you,
and I'm a good learner,
because all my friends are awesome burners!

[delle]

What a great day full of happy -- reading about Eric's interview and MA's feeling better and -- after a long search because Grai never answered my question on PM (Bad Grai! -- presuming it ever properly sent.... if not, Yay Grai! I worried about you!) how Grai finally figured that he DID have a plane ticket after all.

Today is my OFFICIAL first day of vacation. Fly outta here TONIGHT!!! (well, 3:am tomorrow morning really, but I'm kinda doubting there'll be much sleep beforehand)

Now I just have to figure out how to manage that embarrassing 6mile pile in the basement into two suitcases under 50lbs each and I'll be all good!

yes bad grai, but not for answering your pm i never got it honest

[delle]

Well doh! Sorry about that.

I've lost more posts and PM's than I've sent since moving here. Dunno why. It doesn't really seem that different (except for pages being replaced by new ones rather than opening new ones..... I think that gets me lost more easily!)

Anyhow, I'm glad you're good... in a bad kinda way. I'd expect no less from you!

Don't be sorry!

It's ment to be an affirmation for all to use.

Throw your fists in the air and scream it (long form or short form) whenever you feel proud of yourself.

FIGJAM!!!

[shroom]

I am happy that I got to hand out with 30 of my high school friends last night at a mini reunion. Lots of fun.

[Trishntek]

I'll bet that was fun shroom,,,, I haven't seen most of my classmates for,,,,, shit,,,,, counting now,,,, thirty-seven years!

Anyways, survived the party last night and actually got back with all the stuff that will be going to TTITD,,,, YAY! I was kinda concerned since the joints for the shade structure were put wherever by about a dozen different people at 3AM when we tore down this morning. Not the best time to be taking inventory I tell ya,,,,

A friend of mine gave me a motor for a small dirt tamper to mount under my "spanking bench" and I had time to mount it before the party. Now the whole fucking thing vIbRaTeS YAY!

[Foxfur]

I'm happy because the trailer is finally ready!
