Busy, busy... Oscar!

It is Oscar week – my favorite time of year and yet I find myself completely overwhelmed with my “to do” list instead of enjoying the glamour and excitement surrounding my favorite indulgence.

This week I have to say goodbye to my good friend, Carlen and her two daughters, our goddaughters. It seems as if we just met in church and now they are headed home to Washington. While we are happy to see them reunited with their extended family, it is also hard to watch them go.

We are already hoping for a summer reunion in Yellowstone!

Work is nuts with a ton of administrative tasks due in late Feb., early March. I’ve got grants to apply for, City money to beg for, conferences and training to register for and accreditation paperwork to complete.

I was hoping Jan./Feb. would be slow after the hectic, but fun activities surrounding the holidays but no luck… With the snow on the ground, downtown shopping has slowed but my schedule is just as busy.

March 15th will mark my one year anniversary with Main Street. Maybe then I’ll feel like I know what I’m doing! J

Outside of work, I’m answering emails about museum conferences and putting together the annual banquet for the local historical society.

In between work and volunteer duties, I’m still trying to “learn” my new computer and camera. I’m wishing I had the luxury to just “play” and not feel guilty about not working!

Here are a few photos from last weekend that I shot in RAW and JPG (a first for me working with RAW files). We had a nice outing; above freezing with little wind so Jason and I snuck out to one of his hunter management areas and let the dogs run.

I've been doing one of my volunteer things for about a year and a half and finally feeling like I know what I'm doing. It's a nice feeling. :)
