Adenture to the Dr's

Don't worry going to the Dr. wasn't for me. One of the guys cleaning up camp got pink eye and I got the job to take him to the Dr. He didn't want to drive himself because he isn't from her..I offered and said, "I can follow a GPS." It was a good time. The guys name is Matt, he talked the entire way to the Dr. I knew a lot about him by the time we got there. It was a 45 min drive. When we were almost there he looked at me and said, " how does my eye look?" It was very gross, it had goobies covering his eyelids that strung from one lid to the other. I should have taken a pic but it was gross. EWWWW!!! Anyway, after the appt. he offered to take me to dinner for doing such a good deed and taking him to the Dr. He asked what i wanted and i'm not picky so i said, anything works He said he was in the mood for Lobster, i wasn't going to argue with that. So we went and got Lobster and it was DELICIOUS!!! It was very worth it to take him to the Dr. thank you Matt:)

Being Sore

Well, yesterday I was pretty sore from hiking tumbledown, My quads and calves were so tight. I have to walk up a hill everyday to come to the office and it was tough to do. I kept getting up and walking around and stretching my legs to help them not be so sore. So, it was really funny, while I was in the office I looked up some jokes on the Internet and after work I called my friend David and told him the jokes and that I made them up.. and he TOTALLY believed me. He told me I should put them on the Internet and become famous with them. HA HA it was really fun. I later told him that I looked them up, he thought I was so creative. I loved it!!!
Last night we went into town and went to TRIVIA at a local pub. Every Tuesday people go to this pub and a guy does a big trivia game with prize money for the winning teams. We have come very close both times we went to play. the first week we made it to the end and had a tie breaker and lost. This week he changed up the scoring so we didn't win, maybe next week we will.
Well, ta ta for now!!

Hiking Tumbledown

WOW!!!! Is all I have to say about our hike today. It was amazing. It was straight up rocky and wet I swear every time I looked up,  I asked myself, "how am I going to hike up that" it was crazy. There were seven of us that went. Also as we got higher up the view was AMAZING!! I took some great pics, they will be posted later. I left my camera with one of the guys that went with me. I scraped my leg pretty good while hiking up to a water fall. When we got to the fall we had to climb up in it and there were 3 steel staple looking things that we had to climb up and come out the whole on top of the fall. It was pretty much the sweetest thing ever. Then we continued on and we got to a pond where 3 of the guys took a little swim. They brought a change of clothes so they went fully in and took some under water pics. We had a good time watching them because the water was PRETTY cold!!! The bugs weren't too bad. We hit some bad patches where we thought they were going to eat us alive, but they didn't...few!!!!! We didn't see any crazy animals while on the hike, just their poo, it was fabulous. Any who, the hike took us about 4 hrs total to finish. I'm very glad I was able to participate.. Don't worry, the pics will be posted tomorrow for all to enjoy.. NIGHT:).

Cabin Mates

Well, today was very productive. I worked on a few different projects today to get ready for campers to come in a few weeks. Also 2 people came that are in my cabin, SWEET!! I'm not alone anymore:)  When they arrived at camp Sally( my office manager) asked ME to give the tour. She was joking and told the new staff  I was a Veteran Staff. I laughed and went along with it. Later I told them I have only been here for 4 days. We had a good laugh at that. I gave them a tour and just pretended to know what I was talking about and knew where things were. In the office one of the directors commented on my phone skills :) Here in Maine they are very proper when they speak so I have to consciously think about what I am saying.
Precamp begins tomorrow, so the 28 staff that arrived today will be painting, weedwacking, mowing lawns, etc to get ready for campers. So much fun things to come. Here is a picture of one of my cabin mates, her name is Abbey.
The weather has been amazing, sunny and warm. I hope to get some sun this summer, I don't know how much i will get being in the office, but I will do my best. I have met some pretty fun people so far, some foreign staff arrived today from Poland, Ukraine and Russia.
Tonight me and abbey are hanging out watching Liar Liar and chatting with friends and family in the Internet, while others went to town to a movie The Hangover2. I'll put a pic up of my cabin mates later.
I almost forgot to tell you.. I got to drive a golf cart today.:) It was interesting, fun, scary and thrilling at the same time. Definitely something new for me...
