Make My Week Better

Things That Make My Week Better

This week was my second week at my **New Job** at the Anita C. Leight Estuary Center. 
A job filled with small children, wildlife, bad taxidermy, and khaki cargo pants not by choice. 
Like us on Facebook! The ladies I work with would love you forever. 

This is not my dream job, it is a good job to practice my public speaking skills though... as in a yelled at a group of homeschool children in my nice babysitting phone voice (we all have one) and the parents responded by telling me that they didn't like rules because they believe that constricts a child's ability to grow. Sorry ma'am not here, not in my work place. I will assert my dominance with my power khaki pants. 
(Don't worry I will share some pictures of that soon, they make up for themselves by making my ass look fine) 

Number One. 
Podcasts. I stopped I never really listened to podcasts until recently. This is because I truly don't give a rats ass about what you think about this and that sir who is probably making the podcast out of his mom's basement while he fumes over the fact that no one has swiped right for him on Tinder. 
The two podcasts that I have been listening to *Because of my recent knee surgery I cannot read while I work out on the hand bike* are:
  • The Stuff You Missed In History
  • Stuff You Should Know
Both are nice because you can listen to them and not think. We all need a mental break and at least I am learning and theoretically cleaning while I am doing so. 

If you have an iPhone then you can just look them up on the podcast app that you can't delete anyway. 
If you are an iPhone defector, you can look it up online and probably download it. 

Hand Bike. Wanna know how out of shape your arms are? Hang out with the old people on the hand bike. I can now punch through walls. 


Number Two. 

My L.LBean Terry Cloth Robe. Kevan, boyfriend and personal assistant, got me a ROBE for Valentine's Day. A ROBE. AND it is monogrammed. A monogrammed pink robe. Swoon. Last year he gave me a cheese plate and mac&cheese. 
Seriously if you don't have a nice robe you should come over and try mine on. 


This week has been rough.

ZOO WEEKLY ROUNDUP  It's it's only my Tuesday and I already have tons of pictures to share with y'all! My zoo babies have been extremely busy in the last 48 hours. We have a new nature playground next to our building so we took a few of our animals over there to check it out. Clark is our pretty Green Winged Macaw, and Hannah is that large black animal which is a Bintourong.  Click here to learn more about what a Binturong is!

Relationships are not one size fits all.

After speaking with one of my best-friend-soul-sister-pre-puberty-friends this last week about relationships I feel that I have something important to say... LADIES PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS GOOD (wine, cheese, puppies)  PLEASE LISTEN TO ME WHEN I SAY... Make sure you are dating one of your best friends by that I mean that our relationships with our significant others should reflect the relationship with have with our best friends.  Now let me explain myself.  I am not a relationship expert, I just have had some experience in the trial and error department.  I love my boyfriend, I do not like him all the time.  I love my best friends, I do not like them all the time.  Now. That being said I strongly believe that too many young women are looking for that hopeless romantic that we see in the movies. But LADIES PLEASE, relationships are not like sisterhood of the traveling pants. What looks good on one girl is NOT...

Signs of Spring

Signs of Spring Hike  This last week I was tasked to create a "signs of spring hike" at my new job at the Otter Point Creek Estuary Center in Abingdon, MD. This was my first program at this facility. Now understand that programming is old hat to me, but it is still nerve wracking when you have not done the program before AND I just got off crutches last week. So of course it makes sense to send me on a hike through the wet woods with ages 6 to adult.  14 people signed up... 31 people showed up.  Not only did that happen but it was raining.  I had two children pick up dog poop and bring it to me asking what animal it came from. I had two dads who felt compelled to make crude comments about genitals .  I am not the girl to go head to head against in a game of penis chicken. I threw down my reproductive knowledge for a wide variety of species. I have never seen two grown men turn so red. Serves them right.. don't call it a d*c...
