MelinWY

August 19, 2009

It appears as though I completely forgot about my blog since I started it a year ago! Here's another entry from a totally new location and point in my life. Perhaps my blog will continue to be unknown to the world and I will be able to post yearly blogs with no anxieties to anyone... :)

Today was my first day of work in good old Rawlins, Wyoming. My favorite parts of the day were:

1) I was actually doing something and getting paid for it.

2) In Rawlins, Wyoming, there are a variety of combo companies. 1- The saloon/laundromat. Yeah. I'm not kidding. The funny thing to me is that it's not only a combo, but it's called a saloon! Ha. Dr. Quinn reruns here I come.
2- A store in town is called "Groceries and Guns" or vice versa, I'm not sure which. That way I'll be sure to shoot my antelope while chowing down on my pb&j wonderbread sandwich.

3) There are antelope all over the place. Apparently, they are friendly enough you can go up to them and pet them.

4) I found out about the $2000 dollar signing bonus they are giving me for coming to this antelope infested town.

5) I went running and loved it.

Things are looking up in my new found desert land.
