Hip Hip Hooray... I'm going back to school to get my masters. I was accepted to the program to become a librarian. I know sounds BORING, but let me tell you it has its perks in schools these days. I start my first class this summer.

That part where you can come into play is through MONEY!! I am now accepting donations.

I know it would be nice if we all had a little extra hopefully with loans and grants i can make it out without too much debt.

so what do you get when you turn 32??

A motorcycle!!!
i was getting jealous of greg always going on trips with his motorcycle and so we bought one for me. I actually am not bad at riding it. I haven't dropped it once and I did catch a little air on some whoops. I remember riding the 4 wheelers in mexico and the feeling of just pure control. Same feeling just a little slimmer.

work hard, play harder...

what have we been doing?



if you look past the "el combino" you can see the blue motorcycle greg bought me for my birthday and Christmas...

In the mean time...

Catherine has been pretty busy with school and the end result is that our blog has been neglected. Blogging really isn't my thing, but I suppose I'll add something to hold you over. It's nothing surprising, just what I know, work and play. Where do we start first... how about work?

We've had some bad luck on the 'ole Union Pacific railroad here in Colorado in the first week of October, 2 derailments and a rock slide. 1 of the derailments was massive and we ended up staying on-site for 2 days getting the track back in service. The conductor of the train didn't fully release a brake on one car they picked up and it started dragging until it derailed, right on a switch. A total of 15 cars piled up, carrying varying loads. Here's a teaser shot, for the rest of them you will need to look at the link to our photo album.

And now some playing... after all that work, I needed a break. I ended up taking a big motorcycle ride spread out over 3 days. It was amazing, but I really missed having Catherine there to share the trip with me. Mabey in the future we can pick up a motorcycle for her, so she can come along. I posted the trip report on my forum, so click the link below to read more.

$422.87

So what would you do with that much money? I know i would pay a phone bill, cable bill and a car payment. Nothing exciting but all very necessary. Well last month someone decided that they needed the money more than I did and used my card number. How they got it? I don't know.

So for the last month I have been calling and filing out claim forms and faxing them and re-faxing them and mailing them and re-mailing them only to get provisional money back.

Provisional money like they think I stole my own money?

Anyway I painted my nails black to give off a sign of terror to anyone who crosses my path...of coarse the nail paint is provisional.

twilight is coming...
