Wednesday, On

Thank Goodness it's Friday!

Wednesday, Sephora and I attended a Salsa lesson / community dance in Denver. We returned home around midnight after dancing for 4 1/2 hours, I was completely exhausted. It was very very fun, everyone there was friendly and encouraging and I had a blast. Something I learned aboust Salsa; if your guy spins you somewhere, you stay there. Girls aren't allowed to move unless the guy tells you to, and it's all very close dancing. Have to work on that. Unfortunately I can't go next Wednesday as I have to work at the Restaurant - it's Student Night.

Looking forward to a few days off, I'll begin packing for school (eek!) and stocking up on much needed essentials for the next few months. The next big purchase is a digital camera from Radioshack, mucho exciting, which means I'll also be buying an extra memory card as I'm extremely forgetful.

On that front, I recently found my keychain I had been missing for a little over 2 months! It was in the pocket of my jacket, which I had been rehanging up when I heard jingling! It made my week.

Yesterday was a soggy day on the RR, lightning struck right next to the tracks and yours truly had to get out and move the rocks. Further on down the mountain, a rail was loose, so yours truly went outside again, this time with the trusty engineer and discussed the strategy of going over it. Who am I kidding? He discussed it with the other engineer, and I stood there looking thoughtful - and soaking wet. No such incidents today, although it was cloudy on top, which reduced my tour guiding skills to "It usually isn't like this, folks, it happens occasionally, this is what's called being socked in," etc etc.

Keep the fam in your prayers, Mom Dad and lil sis are out east, Sephora is hiking a 14er and Older Brother is baking potatos and marinating steaks. Unfortunately I think the potatos have come out a little on the crispy side. ;)
