Conserve This Buddy


So its been about a month since I was told 'oh yeah we'd love to have you be an intern with us and we'll get back to you on all the details'...yeah right! I'm standin here on my soapbox and basically if you are too busy to make time to return people's calls & emails after you said you would especially when they want to HELP you then you are ...read my lips "TOO BUSY"! So yeah...conserve your resources buddy boy lol.

On to the next advendture/mis-adventure in the Rainforest...err Snowforest lol :-D.

I've decided that even though my dog of 5.5 yrs isn't currently living with me doesn't mean she shouldn't come for visits. Hey even pets need a vacation. She needs to vacation herself on over here for a couple weeks a month. So as soon as snowfest ..I mean...its decent again...time to get Maggie and take her on a dogcation to spend time with me.

T-minus 23 days until my Bachelorate of Arts in Geography & Urban Analysis from California State University Los Angeles is approved and posted provided there are no additional problems. Then it will be time to celebrate!

I've been thinking that maybe I will explore the idea of being a GIS consultant at some point. C is seriously thinking of starting a dive business with his best friend April in the next year or so and having me do all the GIS work for the business.

I still want to write a book with my friend Audrey though. If I could just get her to stay out of college long enough ...wait doesn't that remind me of someone else I know lol...err I'm innocent lol ;-). Anyways it is good to have goals & dreams.

Playing with Color & all that stuff..Digitizing Here I Come


Best way to start a day off (well one of the best ways ;-) )...to be called and notified that you have been accepted as an intern doing what you were trained to do and enjoy! Yep, I got accepted as an intern for the county conservation district today and will find out Friday when I start and all the other great details. Hopefully it will be a paid internship but if not that is okay too as I will totally enjoy the experience gain. I am so stoked you have no idea. I have been looking and waiting for almost exactly 3 years for this opportunity and it is finally my turn.

Exchange of Bottomless Wisdom


The Incomparable Joy of Being Heard

"We all want to be heard, but it is so hard to really listen - even to ourselves! Just about all of us have come to think of education as being about bringing knowledge from the outside in, not from the inside out, but it's really an exchange between one bottomless well of wisdom to another." By Bracha Goetz

I came across this in one of my TheJewishWomen.org emails that I get regularly and just thought that was really something worth putting out there. Each of us has knowledge/wisdom worth sharing with others.

I'm really taking to heart the finishing of projects that I've started for others not just so others can enjoy them but also because I"m much more spatially conscious and am trying to de-clutter. It's amazing how much you can collect ;-)!
