So I finally got some pictures of the kids! This is me teaching them about Australia. By the way, the last picture is not me getting attacked by one of the 1st graders. I was telling them about kangaroos and pouches and she was pointing out my pocket as an example. Lol. Anyways, so this week has been really interesting. A couple of days ago we had a BBQ and I cooked some chicken legs that weren’t cooked all the way through. Luckily, I was the only one who ate them and I got really sick. Hence why I am writing a new blog and not at work right now. I am feeling better but didn’t want to risk pushing myself too hard. On the bright side, having food poisoning really makes it easy to stick to a diet because you don’t want to eat anything! Haha. Today will be day 7 of my super lifestyle cleanse. That makes it one week down and 3 to go!! I was really expecting it to be harder. I haven’t had a cigarette, beer, or carb in a week and I feel great. Surprisingly, I think I have more energy now than before.
I found out my next project will be in New Mexico. It’s an environmental project. I will be back with my original team. Woot! I really missed some of them. We will be trail building, making a bridge, doing some stuff in caves ( I have no idea what but alright!), and working with kids. It should be fun. A lot of work but a lot of fun. I can’t believe this will be my last project. I was having trouble seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for a while but I feel better knowing I’m now PAST halfway.
I have applied for a couple of community colleges. I swear I can’t make up my mind AT ALL. I guess I will just have to wait until it’s time to register for classes and then I’ll be committed. I would really like to have everything figured out before July. A friend and I are going to Phuket, Thailand for about 2 weeks when I am graduated from here. I SO can’t wait! Plus, by that time I will look like a bikini super model. Haha. Alright, well, I am starving! Going to go make a spinach salad! Yum! Have a great Monday everyone! XOXO

Where in New Mexico? Deb and family live in Payson, up in the mtns NE of Phoenix. She and Michael have 2 kids: Marcus in 2nd grade, and Ashley in pre-school. She works for the Payson Recreation Dept, teaching swimming, doing youth stuff.
Is LCC one of the colleges you applied to??
Congrats on your diet success, but food poisoning doesn’t sound like a good way to stay on it!

I will be in Ruidoso, New Mexico which is southeast, I believe. LCC is one that I applied to. I have an opportunity to live with friends in San Fransisco so I also applied for CCSF. I have a feeling Oregon will be a bit more stable though. I think I am just really hesitant because I don’t know anyone up there :/
