My Life

I’m off again… following the feet…

I’m off again to let my feet take me where they will.

I’ll be leaving at an ungodly early time (3:30 am from my house to catch a 6am flight) to go to Amsterdam. I’ll be there for a few hours, then up to Edinburgh and Glasgow Scotland for a few days.

I’m sure there’ll be a nice story to tell when I get back, and a ton of pictures to share.

More Later….

Funny this – (Thanks Amy) – for the hint… Interesting quiz at:

http://www.blogthings.com/whatsyournameshiddenmeaningquiz/

My results?

What Carija Means

You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily.
You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind.
A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable.

You are usually the best at everything … you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic “Type A” personality.

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You’re always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can’t handle you. You’re very intense.
You definitely are a handful, and you’re likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It’s easy to get you excited… which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don’t stick with any one thing for very long.
You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start.

You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you.
You never give up, and you will succeed… even if it takes you a hundred tries.
You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice.

Yeah.. sounds like me alright!

Finally, I saw this on the webcast of MSNBC.
To the women of the Central Washington University Softball team, I say WAY TO GO!

Now that’s sportsmanship at its finest!!

New Bike; Spring is finally here!

Hooray! Spring is finally here. The last 3 days have been warm (in the 50’s) Dry, and sunny. Perfect.

Tony & Me

(Me out with A from work on his last night in Berlin – yes, that’s a drinking hat I have on there!)
What’s funny is that I bought a new bike last Wednesday (see above)- and that’s when it slowly quit raining and started warming up. It’s a great bike, and I have been dying to ride it. Amusingly enough – by Sunday, it was officially bike riding weather – and yes, darlings, I am doing my best to use it to and from work.
Thursday found me with the new bike – peeling off the decals and spray painting it a bright lime green and an iridescent purple/green reflective color over the original gray. Best I can say is that I made it as drippy and bad looking as possible – to help prevent it from getting stolen like the first mountain bike here was.

The New Bike:

Day 42: New Bike
I sold the old bike (it was a girls city bike which means it was made for transporting the groceries and etc.) and got another mountain bike. Yeah – you know me… pop the curb, jump the pothole, slide down the stairs… and keep on biking – in traffic no less. (Thank God for helmets, right?)
So, if you see some chick in red jacket, sunglasses, and riding a bike like the one above while jamming to one ear of MP3 player tunes – yeah, it’d most likely be me….
