updates, updates

Well, I went over budget this month. Between gas, food, shopping, entertainment, and contributing a bit for the hotel, Vegas sucked a paycheck out of me (yep, I'm pretty sure it was a whole paycheck). My laptop died...it just decided that it would no longer turn on. I'm assuming the motherboard is shot again (stupid hps). Other than some minor financial downsides and the annoying fact that I don't have a computer to conveniently use anymore, things are really good. I think I'm officially an optimist.

I love work. I really do. If they had a real position available (instead of just AmeriCorps VISTA), I'd stay here for a few years. I like it that much. Granted, the people definitely make it so great. I love my co-workers, my volunteers, and the kids. They are just fantastic. I even like it when kids create incredibly awkward situations. They're funny.

Anyway, I just spent the week in Vegas. I've been to Vegas a lot (I'm pretty sure this was trip #3 this calendar year and I'll be back next month for Thanksgiving), but this week was fantastic. Those ladies are just soooo much fun. They are incredible. There's lots of pics on Facebook if you want to see any.

Why do some people disappear when you need them the most?
