six tenths

April 2nd, 2007 / Categories: Alaska, Moose Nuggets, WOW! / 1 Comment »

The first of the year – miles that is – okay, I know that it is only a portion of ONE mile, but a gal’s gotta start SOMEWHERE, right? Right.

The distance from my work place to the highway (or what passes for a highway in Kenai, Alaska) is .3 mile. That means the return trip is another .3 (add a teensy bit for crossing the road twice so as to face oncoming traffic). And, that is the distance I walked today. Ouch! my hips – well, the outside tops of my thighs – HURT! My lower back complained, too.

This pain is why I quit walking after the car accident two summers ago. But quitting walking has just allowed me to pile back on all the weight I had lost. Ugh!

I figure if I take it easy – don’t push for time or distance – sooner rather than later I will be able to not only walk this road, but be able to make a turn at the highway and head either north or south. That’s the way I figure. We’ll see what happens in reality. I’ve done it before so . . . hang in there with me, okay?

Separated at Birth?

You tell me:

Eric Bogosian and Elliott Gould

It has been bugging me for several weeks as I’ve watched Bogosian on Law & Order. Gould’s name kept eluding me, but I knew that I knew the face. You tell me . . . is that eerie or what?

I canNOT find out – so far – if they are related. But, even the voices are close.

It doesn’t seem that they are, but – woah!

Mah heart!

Have been busily attending grandkiddos’ concerts the past couple of weeks. Last night was The Boy’s. Lessa has put up a coupla soundbites of last night’s concert. I am still in awe at the sound that comes from these children. (yes, I know the Boy is getting older, but he is STILL my grandbaby #1)

If you will go and listen in to the Boy’s choir, you will understand why we are so inordinately proud of them all.

This is not something I usually do – you all know that. I generally promote something that you are all involved in. But, this time, it is for the Boy. We (our family is a WE, btw – none of us stands alone) will find a way to make sure he gets to go on this trip. If you find it in your heart to help, you will gain much joy – really, you will.

And, if you cannot, we understand that as well. There are so many causes – so many THINGS we can contribute to each day. And, that is okay.

Do go and enjoy a couple of short sound bites from last night’s concert, though. It will bring you joy.

Soooooooo – what’s going on in YOUR neck of the woods?

Rocking and . . .

Rocking and rolling on the Big Island

Oh my goodness! When I came home from church this morning hubby told me about the earthquake in Paradise. I am concerned for a friend who lives in Hilo. We have lost touch since she quit blogging and I don’t know if she checks this blog any longer or not.

Paradise Ali – if you see this, drop me a note – or comment here – so that I know you are okay.

Also wondering about Steve/Linkmeister – although he is on a different island. And, Tina, too. All of y’alls – you all let me know you’re okay – okay?

Okay, folks – there are only 25 of these in existence – and five have been sold. This is your chance to own a print of a special mandala Ms. Lo made for someone special to her. I have mine on order . . . what about you?

We had our monthly staff meeting today – one of our presenters was unable to make it, but the director had plenty of business for us to discuss – and many of us came out with assignments to complete (holiday party planning, etc.) :moose:

Prior to all of that, however, was the employee of the quarter (late by a month) announcement. Our bookkeeper was one of two named – the moosie was the other! My goodness – I have been there for 5 years now, and this is the first time I have been chosen. I feel quite – well – I’m not sure what. The things that were said about me were very sweet. I am appreciative.

Now, the bookkeeper and I get to share the coveted parking spot – heh – and we each receive 4 hours of leave time to be taken before the end of October. And, our name gets placed in a frame to be hung in the front office.

Did I mention the coveted parking spot? :moose:

Still feeling a bit under the weather – the head cold slipped into my chestal regions which is resulting in much coughing and gagging. Yuk! I came home midmorning Monday from work and didn’t even make it in Tuesday. Went in today because I needed to turn in my time sheet (hey, a gal knows what is important!!!) and I was overseeing the staff meeting in our education coordinator’s absence. Took it easy, however, and people pretty much left me alone – something about that barking cough that seemed to deter them. hah.

okay – enough fun for now. Paw-Paw Moosie is out shopping with the Boy and the Girl – they are going fishing tomorrow morning and needed (NEEDED!!!) snacks to eat in the boat. lol. Did I ever tell you about the last great halibut fishing trip I took? (speaking of snacks – ewwwww)

‘Night all.

:moose:

I don’t know about you all, but I just really dig these little :moose:es Lessa made for me. Thanks, gorlie!!
