Adventure time?

It might just be time for a new adventure... Michael wants to run the Wonderland Trail that goes all the way around Mt. Rainier. According to Scott, it needs to be done ASAP - this weekend or next - to avoid snow... Not that its all the physically demanding for me, I would just be the crew (the only crew?!) but how mentally exhausting! 27+ hours in a car, waiting for the boys (right now, two guys other than Michael are thinking this is a good idea too... maybe 1 more...) and driving and waiting and driving and waiting. Maybe we need to get the deal that can allow my laptop to run off the car, but then again, I still wont have the internet or cell signal.

I am happy to help, I am just wondering what on Earth I could do with myself for that long. I guess I could get a couple of Rachel Gibson books and bring the computer and my school work...

It appears that I could intersect the runners at 7 places, I might be lucky enough to get my own fancy pants sleeping bag to keep me warm and my own headlamp... and oh, how I love planning stuff, list making, organizing and having a funny story to tell after the fact. This definitely would be fun. If I bring the laptop, I could chronical the entire adventure.

Sick before School Starts!

I am home on the couch for the second day in a row. I started to feel like crap last Tuesday, but I was in a training class with Jenni and I couldnt bum out of it. I stuck it out for all 2.5 days (Wed-Fri) and I even found the energy to go to the Cross Country meet to watch Michael race. Finally, yesterday, I went to the doctor and was running a 100.2 fever after taking two Tylenol almost 2 hours earlier. I have a sinus infection, I am on antibiotics and I am coughing a lung out. Senna and Louie have been loving and have taken good care of me.

I start school at UWB tomorrow... I have class at 3:30 tomorrow until 8pm. I have Managerial Economics and Management of Organizations and I am excited and nervous and a little overwhelmed because I havent slept well in over a week from this sinus infection and I have a lot of work to catch up on tomorrow when I return to work. I am totally mentally out of it and I am really exhausted still. Fingers crossed that I am OK tomorrow.

Michael is also starting school tonight! He will have class Tues-Thurs, while I will have class Mon & Wed. Such is life, we'll miss each other, but at least puppy bears wont be alone as much as if we were both going to school Mon and Wed or Tues and Thurs.

Random Stuff - I'm feeling random...

So I got on Facebook because my new client/manager person is on there. WOW, thats sort of strange, huh? I am connecting with work people through it though, not old friends... Well, I do have two cousins on there, but thats OK.

I found a Coach purse I want because I have nothing better to do than want things that are outrageously expensive and not any more useful than something 1/10 of the cost. Oh, well, you cannot blame me for this, I am just a girl. (Signature Zoe bag in Black...)

Jenni and I are looking at a potential wedding venue next week. I have only been thinking about checking this place out since July... nothing major causing the delay, just a lot of procrastination and Makati stole Jenni away from me!

I am starting to actually perform my new job and its exciting and stimulating and now its just time to figure out how to work my butt off to be successful at it so that I can pay for this wedding and maybe a Coach bag and maybe a honeymoon!
