Happy Biiirthday Natalie!


Look at mee. I'm in Paris. Hah.

I was thinking about my job the other day... These past 5 months have been tough. Especially the past few days.. they have been the longest ones yet. There have been a lot of changes at camp recently, and I am still trying to figure out my place in all the chaos. I'm taking everything day by day. Camp can only be as stressful as you make it. Unfortunately, I do make some days more stressful than others... nobody's perfect, it gets to everyone at different times in different ways. Camp is not running as well as it used to, and everyone is scrambling to pick up the pieces and figure out a way to put it all back together.

The boys call me Squidword... or however you spell his name. The fool from SpongeBob SquarePants. They all think I have the same nose as him.. which makes me laugh. They're silly.

Anyway moving on. T.Jay and I are going to New York City in March to meet up with Natalie and Chris! I am looking forward to it.. I'm excited for some of the family to meet him.

I finally have a car out here... It's going to take its first drive in the snow later today because I need to get back to work. The roads are always nice and clean, I'm just worried about the road leading to camp, which is plowed but not clear of snow.. so we'll see!

What else what else? I don't know. I am traveling to Philadelphia next week to see Jessica. Yippeee! I'm super ecstatic. =D

That is all.

update! wow.

Happy New Year. from Rhode Island!

What a crazy few months it as been here... I was going to recap my 2010, but that seems pointless. Everyone that reads this was involved in my 2010 adventures, so there really is no point. Started my 2010 in Thousand Oaks... Started my 2011 in Exeter, RI... in a insulated tent with the flying squirrel that lives in my tent with me. SO strange.. hah what have I turned in to?

A lot has changed in the past few months. Slowly getting a hang of things at work.. been here for just about 5 months now. I was talking to one of my coworkers last night at our little local bar.. about how the time has flown and how I'm finally handling the job. I've learned not to get worked up over small things... camp can be as stressful as you make it. It can only affect the boys, and I can't let it affect me. So I'm slowly learning that.. and doing my best to just stay positive and enthusiastic for them.

As for life outside of work.. it's good. Right now the heat in my house isn't working, so I need to go to my landlord about that, but I'm just feeling lazy right now. It's supposed to snow later on today, so that'll be fun to see. Hopefully going snowboarding in 2 weeks with some coworkers at a nearby mountain in Massachusetts. I took some days off at the end of the month to go visit Jessica in Philadelphia so I'm superrr exciited for that! Work is better when I have other things to look forward to when I'm off.

Let's seee.. what eelssee. Nothing really. I do a ton of baking here. Lately, baking for me helps take my mind off of other things.. such as work and other stressors. It's a mindless task for me. I haven't repeated any recipes yet, but I think today I'll make my Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies. They're easy and they're yummy.. and don't go bad because there's nothing in them to make them go bad!

So that's about it. Nothing else to report. Happy New Year! =)
