SO what's new?

It seems that there is always something new going on. I'm almost a little bit tired of that, but not really, or I wouldn't keep doing things to make change in my life. It's the weekend, and instead of hanging around and relaxing, I am off to a geology tour put on by the Geoscience Teachers Association. Still don't know what the N in front of NAGT stands for, but it should be a good day of traveling around the foothills and listening to a bunch of geologists talk about s2 and s2 foliations and such gobbledy gook. I am sure when I start talking soil science it's just as strange to people outsied the field, but I laughed last night thinking about how we all get so caught up in our jargon and like to use the words to prove that we know what we are talking about.

So I can say accretionary tectonics of the metamorphic belt and talk about the comparisons throughout the cordillera now. And finally I have heard someone say "cordillara" instead of just reading it. Ah well. Maybe John and I can talk about something equally as esoteric while we travel about today.

In the mean time, I don't have time for photos yet, but hope to have some goodies up for myself as the weekend comes to a completion. Yippee.

And, one more change. I started NutriSystem two days ago. Trying to not talk about this very much, just between me and Mo, but I do want to chart my progress and document the path. I think it will work, I am motivated and have just enough help to make it work. Mo paid for the first month to get me going, so that's like some motivation. I don't want to let her down. In a good way. She doesn't pressure me to lose weight any more than I pressure myself when I look in the scale.

So, my computer is screaming away. sigh. I keep hoping it will hold out just a little bit longer, like at least until spring. If I get any kind of award from Dave, however, it will go for a computer I am sure. In the mean time, I keep backing everything up to my flash and external drives and am glad that all my writing lately is going to blogs so I won't lose them on the hard drive when it finally gives up the ghost.

Ah well. Another Saturday morning
