New hairstyle?
Trying out something different. My hair looks very choppy when it's straightened out.

Not a heathen
Just to clarify. I may have a Starbucks cup on my desk this morning, but it's a tall hot chocolate with cinnamon. I love Starbucks' hot chocolate.

Logan
Logan is a funny town. It seems to be a pretty good size, but it definitely has a small-town mentality. We were on 7th south talking to someone, and she asked where Rebekah was staying. Rebekah replied that she was at the Hampton Inn, and the girl responded "All the way on the other side of town!?"
Um, no. The one by the Chili's.
"All the way on the other side of town?!"
Well, I suppose. Technically, out of town, in North Logan. But really. It only takes seven minutes to get there. But it was really funny.
Also, Logan has tons of restaurants. Tons of 'em. Everywhere. And they're all empty! We went to Ruby Tuesday (motto: Everything Served With a Side of Broccoli!) and it was pretty empty. Perhaps because they think that "medium rare" means "make sure it's still cold in the middle." But I digress.
The next day, we got sandwiches at lunch. Again, half full. That night, Chili's. Packed at 6:00, right? Nope. Half full. Next day: Subway. Empty. That night, Olive Garden. No wait.
Next lunch? Cafe Rio (way on the other side of town!). Now, Cafe Rio is always, always packed in Salt Lake. Some times you're lucky to get in the building. The line snakes around like you're waiting for Splash Mountain or something. In Logan? No wait. No line. That night we got Thai food, and we only saw two other full tables.
Where do all the people in Logan eat? At home? Then why are there so many restaurants? How do they all stay in business?
It's a mystery.
Um, no. The one by the Chili's.

So busy!
Where does all the time go? It seems like I have something scheduled all the time now. Meetings, evening outings, trips, full-day retreats, dinner appointments . . . unfortunately, no time for hair cuts! Or laundry. That's becoming a bit of a problem.
Last week I was in Logan from Monday to Friday. Logan is a quaint little town; very nice. Main street in the center of town still looks the way it always has, since like the 50s. Cute little storefronts. Once you get two or three blocks away from Center Street, things open up more to the typical mini-malls that you're used to everywhere. And the temple is very pretty up on the hill.
I stayed in the Comfort Inn, which delivered pretty much on the comfort, but goes down in the books as Worst Hotel Towels Ever. One of them was unraveling, and they all smelled like the swimming pool. Which means they wash them in bleach, thank goodness, but still. Also: no wireless internet outside of the lobby. Our room was about 50 feet away from the computer in the lobby, but no luck. So the Best Western in Canon City was much better in that regard.
Three of us from work were attending the Certified Interpretive Guide training at the Willow Park Zoo there in Logan. If you happen to be in Logan, do stop by. It's on 7th south and a bit west of Main Street (4th west? I don't know) in a city park. Admission is $1.00 (50 cents for kids!) and it's a cute little zoo. Mostly ducks, but they also have emu and wallabies and bobcats and coyotes. They coyotes make quite a racket when they play.
I think Willow Park Zoo only has 5 employees, but the four I met were all very nice, and very good at what they do. They're all very committed to their animals and their jobs. You should all write letters to the newspaper in Logan and tell Logan how good they've got it.
Interpretive Guide training was very dull - most 32-hour training classes tend to be, but I picked up some good tips there, and I should hear back soon on the results of my written test and outline. I'm pretty sure I passed.
We drove straight from Logan back to work on Friday afternoon to do our last evening of the Valentine's class, Mating Dances and Wild Romances. It was a smaller group, since several couples that had signed up to come ended up staying home sick. Then two staff people also had to go home sick, so the class pretty much ended up being the Suzanne and Chris show for three hours. It could have become very interesting there, as we had been up very late the night before working on our CIG presentations, but I think everyone had a good time and things went well.
Then, when I got home, Carrie and Lauren were there! They were actually there the whole time I was gone, so I was happy to be back for a couple days before they had to leave. Lauren is a very cute and very happy baby. So low-maintenance! Lucky Carrie and Clint.
Then, after dropping them off at the airport on Monday, I had to go into work to put out some fires that had developed while I was out of town. Tuesday was an all-day retreat (breakfast through dinner) that was long, but had good discussions and is now over. Yay!
So here I am at work again, trying to get back into a routine and get caught up on everything that came in while I was gone. March looks to be just as crazy as February ended up; so much for the off-season!
