Indescribable

So this morning on the phone at work a student tried to verify that I was the person she'd met in person.  She couldn't decide how to describe me. 
Her: "I think you helped me the other day, do you have long dark hair?"
Me: "Yes, rainbow dark"
Her: "Ha, ha ha, ya it was you."
5 minutes later she was certain I had been the one to help her when I explained that we needed her to come in in person with a photo id so that we could make sure it was her were giving her information to rather than her stalker.

Apparently I am somewhat unusual.  I rarely think about myself in those terms.  I put little effort into conforming, nor into being an enigma.  I'm just me.  Apparently that's unusual.

Anyhow, this little window into my daily life is sponsored by the letter "F".

Y'all have a fabulous day.

Awesome Weekend!

For the first time since my surgery I felt up to the task of driving myself to cache valley for a visit.  It was great.  Had a great visit with Mom and got to attend a baby shower for one of my favorite friends.  Then Sunday I went out to visit my Sambo kitty who lives at Aunt Leisa's house & my adorable cousin Eric invited me on a wagon ride with his humongous pulling horses.  It was so fun, right, and satisfying to my stressed out soul.  I took a bunch of photos & want to share a few.

Willis, Vern, & Rose all wanted to borrow my blanket, guess they were cold...or hungry, it was hard to tell.

Willis helping me watch Eric pull with his team.  Note: I did not use any zoom or cropping on this shot.  He was literally standing on top of me.

Bruce & Bell taking us for a ride.

Rose, Willis, Eric, Bruce, Bell, and Tater playing follow the leader.

And last but no no stretch least the saddle my favorite rodeo queen won at the Pocatello queening contest.  She's been training for this for the last 14 years and we're all so proud to have "taught her everything we know"  I love this kid, and it's so fun to see her so excited & proud of herself.
 

I didn't get photo's of the other cool thing I saw this weekend.  Mom & Glenn have the foundation of their trailer finished & are ready to begin the assembly of what they've already built and remodeled several times in their heads.  It's great to see them both so excited and proud of this project together.  I think it's going to be an amazing, fun, exhausting, and rewarding experience.

Had a pretty good day at work today, the expected craziness of rush, and running the desk by myself for the first part of the day, but I'm getting used to that.  Lynn's back to work after her eye surgery last week.  It's technicolor awesome!  She's so positive and strong.  We're all glad she can see again.

I'm off to do some dishes & locate some sort of dinner.
Live long & prosper!

More of the same.

I honestly regret that my life is so simple.  I work, I sleep, I manage the pain to the best of my ability, and each day I'm a little stronger.  It's boring as hell!  But when I consider the options it's hard to be upset.  I did have a fairly fabulous week.  It was the beginning of "rush" and I handled my fair share of the occupational stress plus some, but I also got to share some creative talent with my new "work family" and that wasn't bad. 
Also Chris came by for a short visit today, I still love that kid.
The brown kitties are cuter than ever, playing and socializing.  Even Oscar takes joy in watching their antics.
I've had some really good chat time with Mom today.  She walked familiar roads in Smithfield while we talked.  I wish I could have been there with her, but since I can't I'll happily take being there in spirit.  I really enjoy those moments.
Kitties are staging battle, and Scott's making amazing smells in the kitchen.  I must go.
