Hey y'all-

I just want to inform you all that I am going to a Sara Groves concert tonight in Burnsville, MN and am super excited. She is an awesome singer/songwriter. My friend Joy absolutely adores her. I've heard some of her stuff and she is amazing. So, yeah, I just wanted to rub it in your faces.

I hate computers. I just wrote a long blog and it disappeared into cyber space. Quick recap. It snowed here on Friday and my normal 45 minutes home turned into a 3 hour ride home. On that ride home the driver's side windshield wiper broke off in my hand when I was trying to flick the snow off of it. I at least lived to tell about it. Work is good. We did a fun thing with the dolphins yesterday where they offerred up different behaviors and we threw fish at them if they did something new. I had Rio and she was darn cute.

I swear...I am still alive. I know it's been a long time. No excuses. I'm just lazy. Let's see. The zoo is still going well. I am anxious to get a paying job with marine mammals, but we'll see when that happens. Last weekend Ryan and I headed home to Hancock to have Christmas with my family up there. It was a wonderful time. I got to see my mom, dad, step-mom, grandpa, brother, and sister-in law. Michigan is covered with snow, when here in Minnesota, we just recently got our first inch. (I actually love the lack of snow cover, although it is extremely cold). I do have some pictures from the zoo that I will post on here when I have more time. It's my day off and Ryan and I have a billion places to go. I've been sick the past couple of days. I actually called in sick yesterday, which is the first time ever at any job that I've done that. I got what 4 others at the zoo where sick with...sore throat, exploding head, dizzy, upset stomach. Fun stuff. I am feeling better today, although not 100% yet. If you are reading this, I am desperate for some contact outside of this house and the zoo so PLEASE give me a call, write me a letter, send me a care package, send me a dozen roses...hee hee hee. You get the picture. Peace out.
