Quick one today that is actually from today

Ghost Ranch - I loved. Great people, great scenery, and great things to think about.

I am no longer a Texas resident. :( I will always be one at heart though. The upside to getting a driver's license here is that I will be a Florida voter. Go Obama! I am not sure how many ads you are getting in Texas but there are a bizillion here. Radio, billboards, tv, and anywhere else you can think of.

My work at TML is going good. Many of the homeless call me "Miss Texas." It makes me laugh every time. I am still looking for a church home in this city. I really miss UPC a lot. At church this morning there was 3 choir members (and only two could sing). There was also a Coffee Fellowship that I was excited to go to meet people. Nobody (okay one person) showed up. Everybody else left. I didn't even meet the pastor for the second time in a row. I will try again next week.

I have a staff party today that I need to get ready for. I do like the people that I am working with. They are very dedicated and love what they are doing. My supervisor is also a cool guy though a little funny at times. I rarely see him for he is always running somewhere to do something. I am told he has really grown this non-profit from a small business to what it is now. They just hired three people the week I was at orientation in New Mexico.

Kathleen- I am getting my housemates interested in How I met your Mother. We don't have CBS by the way. We only get a couple of channels in on our rabbit ears and they aren't very good.

Got to go! Love and Peace.

Ooops... This was written three weeks ago :)

Miss y’all! This week went by pretty fast for me. On Wednesday and Thursday I spent all day looking over government regulations and writing procedures for them. This means I read through stupid legal speak then had to write what our office does/will do to ensure we comply with the law. They are applying for a DCF (Dept of Children’s and Families) license from the state. What is cool is that I have only been here two weeks and my procedures are going to have to be read by all future hires. What was not cool was giving up on the American Disabilities Act and calling their hotline to talk to a lawyer who just confused me more. Did you know that a court order does not require you to hand over confidential information? You have to actually get a subpoena before you are required to.

It was one of my housemate’s b-day. We went and walked around the miracle mile. We went to an Irish Pub that was doing a comedy night. All of the comics were pretty bad. Yesterday we went to a Cuban restaurant and the food was great. However, hours later I wasn’t feeling so great.

Brisingr comes out today. Sorry Jonathan, but I am buying it. Christopher Paoloni is actually coming to Miami!!! He is only going to half a dozen cities. He is doing some kind of a reading and singing? I got so excited until I looked at the date. It is when I am at Ghost Ranch next week.  I will be in New Mexico when he comes. Just my luck. Obama was here in town at UM. But by the time I heard about it, they had already run out of tickets for the general public. I did find the Obama campaign headquarters in town (it is on the miracle mile). I don’t know how I am going to vote this year. I am going to get a FL driver’s license for my job. I don’t know when though. So I will have this akward time near the election where I am not sure where I can vote.
