Spike is going well. I am a handy lady. I have been mudding which i recently discovered is also call spackaling(sp)? Uncle Ray must be proud. We usually listen to my ipod while we work which Im very fortunate of. The other day I was in low spirits and needed some uplifting so I put on the RENT soundtrack. That didnt work out so well. Steph my good hungarian buddy was not impressed. Who doesnt like rent? Rent is the happiest thing ever. Instead of rent they put on Trisha's ipod and we spent the remainder of the day listening to death metal and Ta Tu.
We work with Americorps Vistas. They are sorta like us but dont do direct service like we do. The excellent part of working with the vistas are the rugged boys. Mere Mere and I have been fighting over one specific babe who steph let me know was "stupid" and "does know use the blood circle tecnique". A blood cirlce is holding your tool arms length and spinning in a circle. NO ONE enters the blood cicle.
Cedar Rapids for the most part is devastated. It is depressed and gloomy every day, hence the playing of RENT. We needed some cheering up. My TL Michael has some kick ass stories about enimas and such so they also help us get through the day.
Thanksgiving was a blast. Rob Thomas and I ventured to Lauren Suerth's home in Minnesota. Minnesota is beautiful! Very cold but awesome. We ate alot, drank great wine compliments of her mom Mary, and did some thrift shopping in Minneapolis. I got this great blue dress that makes me look like Im from the 40's which is my all time favoirte time erra except for the womens sufferage and that crap.
Tomorrow is back to work! Home in three weeks. Every day I love it here. Every day I am homesick and want to quit. And every day I learn some new. It's a mind screw I tell ya.
