hello??

i'm still alive, honest! my internet connection here is rather spotty, so getting my computer online long enough to do anything worthwhile can be rather difficult. and next month i'm going to stay with my grandmother, where internet connection will be more or less non-existent. which makes blog posting difficult.

i've been doing a wee bit of knitting and a lot of just hanging out and having girl talk with my aunt. its actually been a pretty fun month here in dallas. and my rotation rocks, so that's good.

one thing i have been working on while here (with much help from cynder) is my NEW BLOG
(here's a sneak peek)


i don't know how successful its going to be, but if nothing else it should at least be fun.

A few more from the American southwest.

So despite eight weeks seeming like a relatively long time in theory, they actually go quite quickly. Particularly when one is having a good time. Not only are my eight weeks in Tucson, where I stayed with my parents and worked (albeit for free) at Walgreens, over; but so is my first week in Dallas.

Here are a few last shots from various outings in Arizona.




there are no shortages of cacti in the Tucson area. I can't say I will miss them...



yes, people actually ride their horses to the bar in Tombstone. however getting a shot without a lot of tourists in it is somewhat difficult.

ok, so this shot is actually from the last time is was in Arizona, but whatever.

and one last shot from New Mexico, from the eight weeks before Arizona.
