Check out that toe floof.

Sniff is on Cute Overload!!

I wish I could push my stomach out through my belly so I could eat clams like you do.

So by now maybe you know that I have a new job that involves going out on a boat with students.  Since it is still so cold out on the water, I have to shake my head when teenagers show up completely under-dressed wearing a t-shirt and then complain that they are cold. I mean if I’m cold wearing a sweatshirt, two coats, a hat, hood, glove liners, rubber gloves, heavy jeans, a double layer of socks, rubber boots and rubber overalls all over long underwear, they must be freezing.

I mean I bet even Sarah Palin would know to wear a coat.  Especially since she can see Russia from her house (I don’t think that will ever get old, no matter how low-brow it is) and we all know Russia is cold.  It is weird to me that kids will choose fashion over comfort; either that or they just don’t care.

I have to say though, regardless of their clothing choices, the teenagers I have experienced thus far have been remarkably well behaved and seemed to be genuinely interested in their boat trip.

Well, I got a haircut.  And now it seems I have a real job. Well, the drug-test results aren’t in yet, but I’m a good doobie (ha, doobie). But seriously, I don’t need any substance to make me high because I’m already there.

Anyway, the job is with Project Oceanology.  I will be an instructor teaching kiddies about oceanology-type things while on a boat or trekking through a marsh. It is part time.  It may only be until June, depending on whether they get the grants they’ve applied for. Hopefully it will be longer.  Also, they don’t do anything over the winter, so I’d have a nice break there.

I meet with the HR lady tomorrow to fill out paperwork and find out more details, but basically I am just happy to have a job that seems like it is going to be fun & challenging.

So…I am waiting for some stuff to be scheduled, such as: a drug test, fingerprinting, CPR & first-aid training. It all seems surreal.  Here is a clue as to what I will be doing: brackish water, rubber pants, don’t fall overboard.

I may potentially have some good news…

Holy crap.  I feel like I need a life vest to watch this.

I made this myself.  You can have it.  Click on the picture below to see it bigger.  Then, right click and choose “save as” so you can have your own copy.

My sister-in-law and her boyfriend have this video game called Little Big Planet.  One of the character’s names is Sackboy and he is so frickin’ cute I’m going to die.

I’m going to have to figure out how to crochet one.
