whew what a day

definitely the fastest saturday... ever.
or fastest that i had work.


i came in ready to go despite the coffee smells surrounding me on the bus making me wish i took some with me.  i decided i would make myself tea when i got to work and make myself be satisfied.


i had tasks i needed to do so i was happy about that.  (saturdays are generally slow for me)


so here i am working when surprise the new volunteers, that i wasn't expecting until next week, showed up!
i now need to train them.
and find all their new stuff.
without anyone telling me they were coming.


then my boss left because she didn't feel well and we kept getting calls about the special moon tonight and i think they put a note up at the box office to call me if anyone sort-of possibly related to education comes in to call me on saturdays because i kept getting some crazy calls.


no lunch time for me today.


it all worked out ok.  they are two awesome high schoolers.  (usually high schoolers scare me)  they're so anxious to learn.  i think i need to step up my game.  they had a question about gravity that i found very difficult to answer so i'm going to look up that for next saturday (when i will actually be ready for them) and i think we're going to learn something new each week.
i just came up with that idea.


i really appreciated how honest they were with me and not afraid to ask questions and not afraid to come find me to ask a question while they were thinking about it.


i think we're going to get along great (they're volunteering through the summer).

Fall Fun!

We could not have asked for better fall weather this weekend.  70 degrees.  Sunny.  We just wanted to be outside the entire time.   We went for runs and decided we needed to spend even more time appreciating the fall foliage, which apparently will peak in two weeks.  So two more weeks to enjoy!  We checked out a new to us restaurant.   Then we took a trip to Grant's Farm, which neither one of us had been to since we were kids.  And neither one of us remembered.  Capping off another day spent outside. Monday I hopped on my bike to get to work and my body felt tired from the fun of the weekend.  I looked out my window at my desk and saw so many beautiful leaves, I took a photo on the walk back to where I park my bike. P.S. Yes, I got a new job!  Hooray!  A more detailed update is coming.

26 miles in 26 days

So the title isn`t exactly correct, but I ran a marathon yesterday and it was Melissa & my`s one month being here. But Caro helped me come up with the title and I thought it was catchy. So marathon #2 and a completely different experience than the one I ran last year in Chicago. Lisa Rottler Chamberlin is the name I ran the race with...I tried to sign up as Lisa Rottler, but it forced me to enter mom`s maiden name or i couldn`t continue with registration. the first difference I experienced this marathon in a very different way. In Chicago I was competitive I would say. It was on my mind since February of last year when I signed up. I was didigent about training and very serious about it. This year I signed up like 3 weeks ago and it was very last minute. Although, I ran like I was training for the marathon this summer in Chicago-that was 2 months ago. Last year the weekend of the marathon I rested. This year Friday night I went to my first quinceanera and got home at 4 a...

Lake Recap

Yep, it's recap time from the week my family and I spent at the Lake . My parents rented a house and a boat for our family for the week.  We were around mile 24 for those of you who've been there before. Dad, Mom, Jeff, Greta & Charlie all slept in the guest house so that meant... Karen & I had the whole main house to ourselves.  ;)  (If only we didn't disagree on the temperature so much. I like it warmer than her).   That might be a bit of an exaggeration.  We had the whole place to ourselves, unless someone wanted food, hang out in the living room, do laundry, etc. We pretty much relaxed the whole time we were there.   We were out on the boat at least once a day. Karen & I are ready for a day on the boat! We got in some tubing and skiing.  (No pictures exist of tubing, but it happened.  My scabs from the cloth burn just came off at the end of last week.  And just ask Karen.  She was sore.  We all were.) ...
