Well, if you've got the adhesive backed label paper to make stickers, then I've got the Environmental Ninjas...
What's the biggest obstacle you've had to overcome within the last 24 hours?

Not jumping on the handsome firemen that I met today!
Last year, it was Albuquerque, this year was supposed to be Iceland... but since I was laid off for four months, my finances are only now starting to recover.
Iceland, even with it's current economic crisis might just be a little on the expensive side... airfare (that I can not use my Skymiles for), hotel (that I can not use my hotel points or get free meals at... you get the picture.)
So, I have settled on a driving tour of the western United States. At first, I was considering a cross country drive and flying home, but scratch that, I'm thinking about doing a circular type tour.
The starting point will either be Denver or Salt Lake City, Up to the Grand Tetons (which I have longed to see) across Montana and Idaho and into Washington State (with so many sights that I want to see that I'll probably stay there a few days) down into Oregon, and continuing on with the obligatory stop in my most favorite favorite city in the world, San Fransisco (where I'm having trouble deciding what to do afterward... go up to Yosemite (which I adore) or drive down to Santa Barbara (but really only to gorge on Danish pastry in Solvang).
I could care less about LA, so I would coast on by on my way to Las Vegas... which I care even less for, but only as a means of getting into Arizona and possibly back to Albuquerque... and perhaps finally see hot air ballons.
I love the west and I really don't know why I don't already live there...
Speaking of travel, I'm off to Boston for my daughter's graduation, basically doing the fly in/fly-out thing. This time tomorrow I'll be sitting under the hot sun and listening to a line of neverending commence speakers... one of which just happens to be Ken Burns (I know, right! I love him)
Yes, you heard right, I'm going to WordCamp to fraternize with the "enemy".
*Snort* Hardly "enemies". I hear tell that Mr. Dash is actually giving a speech.
Currently reading "Little Earthquakes" by Jennifer Weiner.
Today, I have learned more about food, sex, foodsex, bathmats and what sexually repressed young men do with them then I have ever wanted to know... EVER!
STOP!
You have been warned!
Don't get me wrong, I love finally having a job and I think I will love the job as well. But, geez, the most awful part has to be the filling out of the paperwork.
I opened up the new employee packet just now and saw that mountain of forms to be filled out... telling me: what to do and when to do it and what to copy and asking me for my frequent flier numbers and which rental car agencies I prefer and how many dependents I'm going to cover and asking about vision plans and sexual harrassment rules and 401K contributions and direct deposit bank accounts...
I just freaked and walked away. And the thing is, it's got to go out via UPS no later than tomorrow morning. I wonder if I can just "phone-a-friend" and have them come over and fill out this stuff for me... plus dig through my file cabinet to find my AutoCad certificate from 1999...
And please, sweet lord, someone needs to help me for I have no idea where my college diploma is.
EDIT: It's a Festivus miracle, I just reached into my file cabinet and, like, two seconds later I found my AutoCAD certification. Somebody was listening to my prayer! :-)
I have a job!
I will not be going to Japan. STILL have not heard from them.
Finally got that monkey off my back!
