Tired, so tired.

Hello, my adoring public.

That might be a little over the top, but that’s what come to me tonight. Since I last wrote, I visitted Austin, TX, played with adorable nieces, and went to Ikea. We also got to go swimming in Barton Springs, a very-Austin, very-cool, natural-spring swimming pool. Then, I once again went to Oklahoma where my mother, my sister, and I took up gardening by stealing blue grass, indian paintbrush, and yucca plants from neighboring, roadside ditches and planting them on the north side of my parents’ home. We also shopped garage sales where I bought the perfect $10 orange chair. Then I flew back to Ohio, where my car broke down. I got to go swimming. I hung out with dear friends, both from OBF and Veritas.

Then my friend Amy drove me to Kentucky where we hiked in Red River Gorge. It was 5-6 miles in about 4 hours. That might seem slow, but we did climb on some rocks too! It was beautiful. I got back home again in that day. Picked up my car from the mechanic who miraculusly fixed all my problem for under $200. Then I left for Lancaster, PA to work at the Center for Talented Youth, teaching archaeology.

I arrived only 15 minutes late. Then I’ve unpacked and gone through orientation through every waking hour. Caffeine! Give me Caffeine!!!!

Every day of the last week has had more action than all of the previous weeks between January and May. Except perhaps for that week in March when I got sick with the flu. But that really wasn’t action. At least, not the type I like. On any of those weeks, you would have received a much funnier commentary concerning orange chairs and my hiking faux pas at Red River Gorge, but I want to go to sleep. I’m pooped, and we’ve got more to do tomorrow. I need to determine if my lesson plans are sufficient for next week.

What else should I tell everyone? It’s Joanna who wanted me to write a blog, and she’s going to be writing a better blog on the yucca plants soon on her myspace account. Here’s a cheery hello to all my guy friends at CTY. Strangely, CTY is the only place where my guy friends out number my girl friends by about 3-1. That’s indirectly proportional to guy/girl ratio of friends for the rest of the year.

Also, the mamogram looked good a couple weeks ago, but Dr. Dexeus wants to keep an eye on me. That means another appointment in September. Pout. Will I be forever chained to a doctor’s office?

It’s been a good week. God has been gracious in so many with so many blessings, big and small. Just pray that keep running the race and push on to very end.

Hola, darling! No yucca blogs, but there is one on Boulder. Give me a call when you have a chance. Or blog a bit. That would also be acceptable. I’m thinking about you!
