Ooh, I am a bad blogger. I'm also very busy now and so that's my excuse. My new job is great and I'm very excited about what I'm doing. I gave my first presentation on Friday at LGH. Well, we've been practicing in front of each other for a week so this was my first real presentation to people that haven't heard the "dog and pony," as my boss calls it. Yesterday was the Day of Caring and I am proud to say that Lanc. UW has the highest volunteer turnout per capita in the nation. That is darned cool! Over 3,000 people participated this year and we were all very successful. And we got cool red t-shirts to wear. I almost participated in the mucking out of the Conestoga River but I was on food detail instead. I'm glad my years at I's really did count for something b/c I can make a sub in record time. It was just like doing the sub fundraiser for ORCA. I should call Doc. Hmmmm. I went to the HHS vs. MC football game Friday night. Go Black Knights! We kicked some serious Barons butt. HHS won 26-10 and it was a really good game to watch. Except for the guy kicking the field goals (I thought Mrs. P was going to go down there and show him how it's done) the team played well and it was very exciting. Both the team and cheerleaders had new uniforms as did the MC band. Remember how ugly their uniforms were? They have white ones now with maroon and gold sequined sashes. V. nice. We got there late and missed the HHS band but I'm sure we'll catch them another time. And the line for Finks' was as long as ever. And after I waited in line forever to get mine, the bag split open and all the fries fell out on the ground. I guess I'll have to trek out to Roots this week for more or (gasp) I might have to go to another football game. Go Black Knights!

Greetings from the Land of JOB! Yay job! I was going to complain about my suspicion that F**d M****r Co. is conspiring against car owners who want to do an oil change themselves but it seems so ridiculous now that I did it and it's done and I don't need to do it again for another 3,000 miles. Whatever. I think I'll just pay somebody else to do it for me b/c it wasn't worth the headache of trying to find the unusual type of oil required and it cost me almost as much as having it done at the dealership. Anyway, my new job is really cool so far. We are all still in training until Monday but I think we will be very well prepared to go out and get the $$$$$$$ for the United Way of Lancaster County's 48 member agencies and services. I am really excited about this opportunity to do something that really makes a difference. One of the great things about UW Lanc.Co. is that in Lancaster County, one person DOES make a difference as opposed to Philadelphia who has thousands and thousands more people. We were able to tour a few of the member agencies on Tuesday and we will be going again on Friday. It was really neat to see how UW support can do so much at these agencies, and in turn, for the clients and no one is ever turned away. I really think this is going to go well and hopefully it will turn into something permanent after the campaign is over. Keep your fingers crossed for me:>
