Life goes on despite minimal blood flow...

Alicia May's first date? Is that boy trying to hold her hand?
This was taken at the Cheer Banquet last week. As it turned out, I think this little fella was just trying to distract her from the tub of red licorice whips sitting on the table nearby...


Guess who's got a part-time holiday job at the JCPenney store!? Yep, that'd be me. I start this Saturday. I'll be working mainly evenings and weekends until the end of December. Just a little extra holiday spending moola. And working there should keep me off the streets. :o)

It's early morning here. Stephen's taking an Industrial Hygiene class this week, so I'm in charge of dropping Miss Alicia May off at daycare at 7:30am so he can leave earlier and get to his class in Anchorage on time. This means my normal 7-3 work schedule is shifted to an 8-4 schedule this week.

Oh, by the way... I hope you're all celebrating Geography Awareness Week! Today is actually GIS Day, which always falls on the Wednesday of GAW. Here in Anchorage, we're holding our GIS Day event on Friday at the University of Alaska-Anchorage because parking is free there on Fridays. I'm giving a couple presentations with a co-worker on map projections to a group of middle school students. Yay for geography!
