SUUUUUUUPER BLOG!

ALOOOOHA!!!! :))))))))))))))

How are all of you??? Things on my end are finally evening out. We just had another big event at work that we tackled. :) We do a yearly appreciation luncheon for our members for their employees. This year we had a 50's/Drive-In/"Creature Feature". Basically it was a 50's theme with a car show outside, a live performance, and a "drive-in" movie--Creature from the Black Lagoon. It was SUUUUUUPER fun. I've never seen that movie before. We had ladies screaming in the movie. It was AMAZINGLY HILARIOUS!

We also had the Ironman here last weekend. St. George will be home to an Ironman for the next 5 years. I may not pay attention to a lot of sports, but I DO love the Ironman. So much so, that I actually woke up at 3:00 am to get to the swim start/bike start transition at 4:15 in time to greet the athletes and usher them through the transition. It was a perfect day weather-wise. We were worried about wind int he morning, but our fears were unfounded. The water was FREEZING, and one of the athletes actually had to get hooked up to an IV. It was CRAZY to see all those people get into the water at the same time! Anywho...here are some pics:

It was so amazing to watch.
























Anyway... Moving right along.

School has been... challenging. I am committed to it through December, but I have really been struggling lately. I don't know what it is. I just am not motivated to do the work. I think a lot of it has to do with having too much to do and very little sleep--but I could be wrong. ;)

I got my camera! :) It is so pretty... I have started experimenting with it, but realized that I know NOTHING of cameras. So, all you camera savvy friends out there--hook a sister up! :) I am willing to learn how to use the different functions and  fancy tiddly-bits on my camera, so let me know if you have tips! It is a Nikon Coolpix S4000. I know... just a "point and shoot"er, but overall a really nice camera that deserves an educated user.

Hopefully life will settle down and I can get back into the groove of things...but don't hold your breath!

**EDIT: I almost forgot the song for the day!!! :S Here it is!

Sugar Blue
by: Jeff Finlin

Hobo songs and railroad gin
Alcohol evaporates through skin
One gift
Sugar blue

I feel his kiss in your angry eyes
To find hello when you say goodbye
One gift
Sugar blue

Holding darkness up to the light
The other side shows through
The raven's song it breaks the night
And I rise from me through broken hues
Sugar blue

Going no wheres some wheres song
Finding right in what went wrong
One gift, sugar blue
One gift, sugar blue

Holding darkness up to the light
The other side shows through
The raven's song it breaks the night
And I rise from me through broken hues
Sugar blue
