Some Good Stuff
In realizing that a lot of my recent posts have just been complaints, here is my contribution to a happier blog:
It is fun to have friends from out of town staying with us- and a first- we have 6 month old as a weekend guest. It is already an adventure and bound to be even more fun in the next couple of days. So far the bath has been the most fun.
I completed my first oral history interview last night with an Iraq Vet. This is part of a project at work that I have been asked to lead- which is my first foray into program development for the Center. The interview lasted two hours and was absolutely riveting. I rode home on the bus still stunned by the things I learned.
I love working at the college where I also go to school. The other day I wanted a book from the library. The city and county library system had a long waiting list. The next day at work, I checked the college library website. There it was. I walk about a block, through an indoor walkway to the library, checked out the book, and made back to my desk in 15 minutes all without putting on my coat.
I went out for lunch today with someone I was meeting for work. We went to my favorite restaurant near work- all organic and vegetarian and volunteer run. I had the most amazing Russian Cabbage Borscht. It was bright red, was sweet but not too sweet, and had great crunchy vegetables in it. I really would love to have the recipe.
We bought a new washing machine yesterday- yes, after all the analyzing, we did it within about two hours. We found a pretty new washer with all the bells and whistles on Craigslist for $100. Jff's brother picked it up for us in a truck, delivered it and took away the old one for us. The new one is installed and has already done a couple of loads in the new laundry room. A fab. solution according to me.
Tomorrow night is a our first winter frisbee game. I am hoping that my foot holds up because I am so excited to play. It is a new team this year with some fun friends. We are also hosting a baby meet and greet with two recently born babies in our friend group. Should be interesting and very fun.
Lastly, thank the good Lord above that Clinton didn't get first or second in Iowa. It gives me hope for Edwards or at the very least, Obama.
