GALAPAGOS Y'ALL

Hey all. Its been awhile and I've missed this a lot. Ive thought about writing a blog for so long but never give myself the push to actually DO it. Well here we are. This may be a rough read since its been so long.

So, tomorrow Im headed to the Galapagos with a bunch of friends and family. I can't wait! I wanted a big hoorah for my 30th year and the birthplace of science seemed like a fitting place :)

Ive been researching and obsessing and getting excited and hoping that Ive planned this all correctly. No amount of time is enough time to feel fully prepared for a trip like this. It'll be interesting since we are planning it all ourselves but Im sure it'll work out and be fantastic.

We have an AirBnB house that is my dream vacation home! Thats really what sparked this whole thing, the house. Ive been thinking about the Galapagos for months but then I found this house and knew I HAD to have it. It was relatively inexpensive and absolutely gorgeous. Ill post pics when I get down there (uh, hopefully...).

Im also super excited to completely nerd out over all the biology thats everywhere. There will be lots of squealing for sure. (If you've ever seen me react to anything I find biologically fascinating, you know what that squeal sounds like). Y'all, there are penguins! and marine iguanas! and turtles! and cacti! and soooo many other amazing things that I can't wait to see and explore and learn about.

Hopefully this post is the catalyst to many more coming quickly. I have missed pounding away at the keys and seeing my thoughts develop on the screen.

Chao!!

The Cake Fairy

Today was a pretty standard weekend here in PA. I dont do much but hope that its nice out so I can go for a walk and explore on my own, but the sun didnt come shining through my window this morning to wake me up. I slept in. After a few hours of lounging around watching youtube videos about history, I asked Cassie if she wanted to explore the town. We decided to take a visit to a local winery/brewery, Stone & Key Cellars, to do some tastings. They had quite the spread of things to taste and we were overwhelmed! Fruit wines and your typical whites and reds, cider and mede! I started out with some of the red fruit wines and Cassie with the white fruits. They were all a bit sweet for me so I moved right into the bold reds. We got four tastings each and shared our tastes but also, the bartender was super cool and gave us more tastings of whatever he wanted! He was talking to us about the local area and what breweries to check out next in our exploration of Pennsylvania. Going to ...

Eating Like Crap is Crap

Im trying really hard not to spend money on food as there is so much food here at camp. Its not horrible food but its definitely not the best. So, with me trying not to spend money on food, I haven't been eating the greatest. I don't know if its because of other reasons, but Ive been feeling like shit lately and Im attributing it to lack of nutrients. I dont know how people eat crap all the time and survive. It must be a skill. I was eating alright about two weeks ago but this last week it hasn't been very pretty. Ive been a scavenger and theres been a lot of bread and fake meat and here is how I feel: Im tired ALL the time. No matter how many naps I take or hours I sleep a night, Im always exhausted by mid-day and just want to lay around, sleep and do nothing. Ive also been starting to get weak headaches throughout the day. Or having sore muscles from doing minimal exercise. That also makes me just want to do nothing. My stomach is also crazy. It hurts if I eat som...

Hopefully, Im Back in the Game

Ive been horrible with posting to my blog and Id like to take a minute to apologize to myself for not keeping up with it and then the say a little sorry to people who actually follow my blog, and if you keep up with it then... go you! Just a little update on whats going on here and then Im hoping tomorrow Ill be able to write a blog about how awesome my cousins wedding was this past weekend! So, Im currently in Philly working where I was this Spring at College Settlements. I love my coworkers and I love where Im at. I feel comfortable and happy at work, now only if I was closer to the city for my social life... I have to brag about my dude who just started a new job in DC as the captain of an education vessel. He's adulting so hard and Im so proud. Makes me want to step up my game and start semi-adulting. I want to get a job there after this job is over for the fall. So, If you've got any leads... This summer/Fall have been a bit insane, in a good way.  I sp...
