August 3rd, 2015 I’ve been back in the states for far too long and wanderlust has gotten a serious hold on me. It’s time for a change. I am in need of scenery that isn’t Glynn County. Granted, I have an upcoming vacation to Iceland that I am super excited about, but I also needContinue reading “A change is coming…”

December 16, 2013. Ah, my birthday. The day I finally hiked Ob Hill. The only day of the week that I was able to walk normally due to incredibly sore legs after said hike. I started out my birthday at the fire house. At two minutes after midnight, I received what I would consider myContinue reading “December – Part Three – Why, hello 32! Birthday Part One”

Dec. 07, 2013 Ah, the annual firehouse expo. This year it featured engine rides, trying out on the bunker gear, 5 alarm chili, and putting out a building fire. Okay, so the building and the fire were props, but it was still fun for those who gave it a whirl. I stood outside with theContinue reading “December 2013, part two – Fire Expo”

December 2013 – Part one So much has happened in the past two months. I am having to remind myself of things that have happened via photos. The end of the year started out much like the beginning of 2013. So many things happened, and quickly. Dec. 04, 2013 With the weather becoming warmer atContinue reading “A December Condiment – aka catch up time”

Since August 27th, 2011, I have spent 752 days in Antarctica. I now have 47 days and a wake up left in the season. I will have been here for 385 days if I leave here as scheduled on February 24th. That means, I will have been on ice for a total of 800 daysContinue reading “47 and a wake up!”

I’ve been sitting here for the past few minutes trying to decide what to title this post. Over the winter, I volunteered as a barista, but now I have a part-time position with GSC (another one of the contractors here) as a barista/bartender. I haven’t had the chance to work at one of the barsContinue reading “Coffee.”

Wow.  I can’t believe October is almost over. The pace of this month was most definitely set by the new people arriving on station.  There were times when I had to deal with winter-brain frustration, which I’m sure did not give some people the best first impression of me.  Granted the evil day star hasContinue reading “October flew by way too fast”

A few weeks ago, I signed up to take a pressure ridge tour. Of course the weather turned crappy that day and I wasn’t able to go. A few days ago, I signed up for another pressure ridge tour. The weather decided to cooperate this time. On Sunday, September 22nd, a few of us loadedContinue reading “Pressure Ridge Tour”

My sister directed an interesting questions towards me via Facebook while guilt tripping me about not blogging. “I walk the dog… a lot. It’s gives me thinking time and sometimes the thoughts are truly random. Latest random thought: Do the buildings at McMurdo station, Antarctica have locks on the doors? And if so, who holdsContinue reading “For she who guilt trips me”

Taking a break from the day of the week posts to share a few pictures. The skies have been amazing this year. We’ve had spectacular auroras, gorgeous nacreous clouds and beautiful sunsets. Yep, the evil day star is back above the horizon these days for longer and longer amounts of time. October 24th marks theContinue reading “Things I do on…. nights when there are pretty skies”
