Work is going great, the boss is easy to talk to and when it comes to keeping records her and are on the same page. I do have problems spitting the name of the company out when answering the phones, but phone traffic is minimal. It is brainless work that I can leave at the office; and unless I create it with myself, there will be no work drama. The commute to Eagle River is alright, it is nice not to have to deal with the traffic lights and it only takes me 10 minutes. It is less stressful then driving to the south side of town
I have been trying to back up my computer and my CD writer decides to quit, I see a new system in my future! Oh wait new computer tower or new lens for my camera...ugh the agony! Okay there really is nothing to put here...now I am just babbling... and not very creatively either.

WHATZ UP?
Well, I finally got last weekend photo's on line, you can see then here. We had a great weekend; I did my good doings, played in the rain in my new Extra Toughs, got my first fishing rod, met up with good friends, saw new sites, did a little fishing (not catching), and went for a nice hike. I learned, even with MS you can ride 63 miles on a bike, I can pee in the woods standing up, and found if you take glacier photos with an indoor camera setting the blue comes out more vivid. It was a wonderful trip, I couldn't think of any way better to celebrate our 15 years together. Thanks John, Nadina and the National MS Society.
I start my new job on Monday, I am now an part time Administrative Assistant to a CPA, witha very flexible schedule. A very small company, with lots going on. She (the CPA) does forensic accounting for the courts and corporate taxes. Even though I feel over qualified for the job she has me doing, I should learn a lot from her and the experience I take away should be beneficial . The only down side is I need a social life outside of family and I won't be getting that hanging in a small office in Eagle River.
John and I got more adult time last night. We had dinner with Nate and Tab, I was so excited to go OUT to dinner with a couple and no kids where the conversation flowed and it was not awkward. The Bloody Marys set me on the right track for poker, but diner was cut too short. We will have to do it again.
After diner we then hit Valette's poker game, where I found myself with an incredible need to start playing with action figures. But more important I stole Valette's mojo, so that John could take the table. Okay he shared it with Steve but the point is I left with $11 bucks to Valette'a $1.
Girl Scouts is up and running, our first meetings was last week, this year we have more parents support then I know what to do with. I think it will be a great year!! We have already scheduled our first community service project. On the 29th we will be going to Portage to do some land management, laying trails and planting indigenous plants. I am looking forward to this, a lot.
I have 20 projects going on around the house and if I could just complete one I would be happy....hey I did complete one!!! I blogged and got my photo's on line!!! Time to get the house projects done now!

MS Bike Ride
The National MS Bike Ride (and here and here)was a success and we had a lot of fun. We volunteered for Saturday biker sign up in Granite Creek (mile 63 Seward Highway) and then helped sign bikes back in once they reached the Seward Sea Life Center. John and I counted 129 bikes (227 were signed up) making the trip on Saturday. The first rider pulled into Seward soaking wet, in about 4 hours, that is 63 miles in 4 hours, averaging almost 16 miles an hour, in the pouring rain. 
I would like to thank you all for not showing up because John and I had a wonderful quiet anniversary weekend. I have many pictures, I want to share, but the schedule does not permit blogging right now. So...for now you only get to hear about the bikers who raised over $100,000 for the National MS Society.
