Pictures from my phone. This weekend was fun. Well, parts of it. I had to work Saturday. Sunday my brothers and I were invided to Kori's family's house for dinner. We had good food, a salad from the garden, and her mom made us a cherry pie with fresh cherries we had picked. Then we rode horses and jumped on the tramp. The truck pictures are there for Kori. It's the new truck her dad got. Enjoy.

Here are some random pictures from my phone. A puppy that kona is playing with and a baby hedgehog someone brought into petco. I forgot my phone took pictures. I'll have to take some more often.

What's up cyber world. Sometimes I really just want to talk to people and hang out instead of reading about peoples lives on the internet. I'm having one of those moments now. Oh well though, I guess we take what we can get. This past week has been pretty fun with the exception of the fact that I cannot find my camera anywhere! This is especially bad because it's not my camera, it belongs to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. Usually when I loose it it will show up within a couple of days. Especially if I clean my room. But the car is cleaned, room cleaned and back pack cleaned out and no camera.
I can't wait to quit Petco. I can only work 2 jobs for so long. I'm just not that girl. Yesterday a guy named Toleman (sp?) came out from Boise with some friends and invited me to go climbing with them in Pocatello. I had to work. My forearms are really sore today. They are way better climbers than me. One guy took 14 in a national climbing competition. So we were doing pretty hard routes. I don't even know the rating, but the rock was slick and I didn't make it to the top of a single one. I still had fun though. After climbing we ate at a Chinese restaurant and I could barely use my chopsticks. Then we went slacklining in the park and I headed back up to I.F. for more Petco fun. I had 3 dogs yesterday. One of which I would have liked to castrate. I don't think he stopped peeing from the second he walked in the door. At one point while I was trying to brush him he even lifted his leg and peed right on my leg all the way down on my foot and shoes! (Don't worry I washed my self of with our extra strength Lysol floor cleaner stuff) I was so mad but right then his owner walked in the shop so I had to restrain myself from doing anything drastic. Not to mention that the little horn dog would hump every thing that got within range. The only fun part was when I got to tie him to the wall and spray him down mercilessly with the power hose.
On another note, I found out from John O'Neill at the office that they did West Nile testing on the mosquito's at Market Lake...where I live...and found some positive! And if any of you have spent a summer with me you will know that if there is a mosquito for miles around it will bite me. Currently I count 16 mosquito bites on my person and I surprisingly feel pretty good. I even wear bug spray to bed.
Well I guess I had better get to work. I'm so glad I'm not planning on being a career woman. I don't think I could handle knowing that I'm going to have to work like this for the rest of my life.

These pictures are all new though and from last weekend and the weekend before. I didn' t have my camera with me though so they are all ripped off from Brian's web page. Thanks Brian!

Kona waits for me when I am going incredibly slow up the last part of Table Rock Mountain.


Here's Brian, Sara (his x) Kona and me.

This weekend was pretty jam packed, but now I'm back in the good ol' office looking for something to do. My weekend started Thursday after work when we headed to the drive in. My brothers, some of their friends, a guy named Dillon from Petco and I went to see Nacho Libre and Mission Impossible 3. They were pretty good but I couldn't hear reallly well so I'm not going to make any rash opinions until I see them again. I didn't get home till like 2 in the morning which is way late for me! Then Friday I had a housing inspection at 8 am and went climbing with Brian, Sara, and Dillon at Ross Park in Pocatello. The climbs are short, but fun. I would like to spend some more time there. After climbing I headed back to I.F. to work at Petco and Dillon stopped by and brought me my favorite drink from Sonic. After work on Friday I met Brian and Sara at Sven's house and we ate dinner, made a fire in the back yard, had smores and slept on the tramp. Saturday we hiked Table Rock Mountain. I am so sore today! We hiked up the "ride route" or something but what ever it was called it was not the usual hike. We went the direct route straight up the side of the mountain. Then we went back the long way. It's a pretty hike but I was not in good enough shape to go up the steep way. I still had fun though. Brian got some pictures on his camera. Hopefully I'll get them up soon.
Work has been kind of blah. I'm ready for a change of scene. It's kind of a cycle. There's not much to do because I didn't plan much to do. So it's my fault but then it's hard to get back into the swing of things. Oh well, I really don't have much to complain about. For the most part I do enjoy my job, the place I live and Idaho.

Goose trapping...first we set up a trap, then we have people on either side of the river and a few boats in the water to herd the geese up stream towards the trap...then we get inside the trap and catch all the geese, load them up in horse trailers and take them away. Sounds kind of primative but it takes a Masters Degree in Biology to organize an operation like this. (sometimes I think schooling is a joke). Here are some pictures from the day. I'm wearing a marshmallow suit because every one said that everyone would get pooped on. I didn't get pooped on once. Oh, and the channel 6 and 8 news were there. I guess it's pretty exciting for news in Idaho. We trapped all the geese becuase they were causing crop damage. Most of the adults were killed :( but we saved all the young ones and relocated them to Mud Lake where they will be "adopted" by the Canada Goose population there. On a less fowl note...ahh ha ha. I have been taking quite a bit of time off at work (Fish and Game) but it doesnt' feel like it because I have definitiely been making it up at Petco. This fourth of July was fun, I have to admit though, I've had better. We had a lot of good food, fireworks and a guitar. I just really really really wanted to go climbing and swimming. But I had to work in the evening and couldn't convince anyone to climb with me in the morning. I wish Kona could belay. Speaking of Kona, she starts her puppy training today. It lasts for 6 weeks but is only for an hour once a week. It's a $70 class that I get for free becuase I work at Petco. Looks like I can't quit for another 6 weeks. I hate working 2 jobs. I'm not a 2 job worker. My house is a mess, and I'm always tired or hungry even thought I sleep and eat all the time. I can't wait to get out of debt. It will be better than Christmas. Christmas just gets me into more debt. I got an email from Angela today. (the mass email that she has her mom forward to eveyone) According to that she is still set to get off the mish on the 12th. Although she probably wont be up in this area for another month. It will be nice to have some old friends back!
P.S. I hate blogger. Every time I post it takes me freaking forever! Like earlier when I was trying to post this and all I got was "could not connect to Bogger.com. Saving and publishing may fail."
