Happy Birthday, Dari

In other news, Hogle Zoo's African elephant Dari turned 48 today. People went by and signed an "elephant-sized" card.

Because you know, elephants can read.

Spaceships

When I am at my new job at Apple, I remember how much I don't like my old job. And then I think about spaceships.

Bought a bike

I bought a bike the other day. Yes, the one pictured above. It was delivered today. Yes, I purchased a bike through the mail. That's what my life has come to. I don't have time to go to local bike shops because I'm always at work.

Ironically, I bought the bike so I can ride it to work. And soon, I will have less jobs, so I could go to a bike shop.

I don't know even know what that means because I am very tired and need to go to bed.

So I'm going to.

Good night.

Exhaustion

I am exhausted. And I am so glad that Apple came through because I really need to rest. Working too much is nice for the money...

But not so nice for the body, mind and soul.

God bless Apple.

Nate the Great

In other news, we return triumph from Vail.

Nate made it to the finals of the fly fishing competition yesterday. So he got to float down the Colorado River with a personal guide, hoping to catch the most fish and win the title.

He ended up taking home 5th out of the 55 competing anglers. And he beat out some pretty impressive guys, including a few from the US Olympic Fly Fishing Team. Who knew, right? We have an official US Team for fly fishing.

And so, here's to Nate...the Great.

Apple girl

I wanted to post this last week, but it was not official yet.

Nate calls me "Apple girl" because of my killer job working at Apple. And now even more so.

Apple offered me a full-time job last Monday. Hell yes.

I won't be on the floor like I have been. I will be working in the Back of House doing inventory control and becoming a product specialist. You know, keep stuff organized, do paperwork, basically kick ass.

I am stoked and quitting the Park Record.

FYI, WWDC is today. So thankfully, any news about iPhone and such will be announced and people can stop coming into the store begging for tidbits of info.

Back to fill you in.

I have slacked lately, especially last week when I was preparing for Vail. But I am back and you can look for new posts. I have a ton of updates so I will be posting throughout the day today for your reading pleasure.

Enjoy the many posts!
