The end of the year is drawing near! I have to admit that this year has gone faster than any other I remember. When I say that I start feeling old… that sounds like an old person thing to say. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
I start my journey to New York tomorrow evening. I’ll actually only get as far as Anchorage – happily I’ll get to see my long lost hotel family at the Courtyard. It’s been a while. \ud83d\ude09 Anyway, at 10:30 Saturday night I’ll hit LGU airport in New York, New York. Good times. I’ll try to blog from there.<\/p>\n
I’ve been eating way too many gummy bears and kettle chips lately. Shopping at Costco is not a good thing – 6 lbs of gummy bears stairing me in the face each moring is awful. Tonight I made some Au Gratin potatoes from scratch! I was inspired after seeing Barb make some scalloped potatoes for Easter dinner. Very tasty.<\/p>\n
You wouldn’t believe this daylight. It’s quarter ’til 10, and it might as well be 5:00 in the evening. I’m struggling with sleep at night, ironically – naps come easily during the day. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Ape’s got a dreaded trip to the dentist in the morning. I don’t hate the dentist, but I don’t remember it being a pleasant experience when we were young, either. She should do just fine with a quick cleaning. I need to get in, myself, but am a little leary of going here in Unalakleet. There’s an awful lot of silver walking around in the mouthes around here. I’m afraid I might have a cavity, too. Serves me right with those darn gummy bears. Alright – I’ll proclaim it here – no more gummy bears for me for the rest of my time in Alaska!<\/p>\n
6 of our 7 boxes flew in today. That was pretty sweet! I realized I bought a lot of cereal. I think I could eat cereal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.<\/p>\n
Food, food, food. Goodness.<\/p>\n
Two of my favorite guys have birthdays coming up soon. Bill’s present came in the mail, and I had to give it to him. He got a set of 60 climbing holds for the wall he’s going to build. I am anxious for him to get started. It’s going to be fun. Dad’s birthday is 2 days after Bills. I suppose I’ll miss an ice cream cake!<\/p>\n
Sounds like gas is going up, up, up down south. That’s not a good sign for my tubing plans!<\/p>\n
Many of you know that spring is a busy, complicated time of year in schools and for teachers. Quite a few of my friends and family will be looking for new jobs due to cut backs and various other reasons. Keep your fingers crossed for them all!<\/p>\n
