Moo Point

I think there aren’t enough rituals anymore. Enough traditions. One of my favourite aspects of the Lutheran church are the traditions. I don’t have any one set tradition regarding starting something new. But I always like to make some effort to change something in my life. Since I have started a new career as a Content Specialist with NETELLER (and it’s going great, by the way), I did a few things to have a fresh start.

1. I shaved my head. I wasn’t actually planning on shaving my head. However someone (Leah) thought she could handle trimming my hair. After that went terribly wrong, we shaved it all off.
2. Changing my blog design. I never found a rhythm for blogging with my previous employer. And the previous theme by Ian Stewart (which was really interesting) always felt a bit oppressive to me. Many thanks to Will Wilkins for creating this great theme. I was looking for this exact layout for a long time and then I finally found it. I love it when that happens. There are a lot of aspects to this theme and I will be tweaking some of the styling. But sit down and get comfortable. Thing design is going to be around for a while.

Feel free to leave any feedback.

Harvest Hopper

2004 was the last summer I worked as a camp counselor. That last summer I worked at Kinasao, in northern Saskatchewan. I started that summer in the spring, re-painting all the cabins and buildings and various other maintenance work. During the spring, there were various things going on before the children arrived. One of those events was a Mental Health camp and one night there was a bingo and guess what I won? The most beautiful of hats—the Harvest Hopper hat. From that day on, the Harvest Hopper was my work hat.

I am happy to report that I received a job offer this week and I am done temping, so I am taking the rest of the week to vacation. Which really means I am going to be doing yard work. Bagging leaves. Pruning trees. And Dad is going to help me (or rather I am going to help dad) put in a proper vent for our upstairs bathroom. So I am in my work cloths, with the Harvest Hopper on and I am ready to roll.

All Tied Up

There are reasons cats should not be on leashes/tethers. This is one of them.
