The rest of the house....
It's so humid my camera lens kept getting fogged up. Behind the barn a little rooster lives who begs for sunflower seeds. How quaint.
Proof AmeriCorps makes you ugly
Here's David and me at the blue house in Lafayette. Long distance relationships blow!!!!!!!!!
Lafayette
We made it safe and sound to Louisiana, and we didn't kill each other even though we were in the van for 20 hours. We've had the weekend off, so it's been nice. The library and coffee shop down the road have wireless internet so I can post sometimes. I want to wish Elizabeth a happy birthday, even though she says she's staying 24. You too, Kristen, 'cause you'll admit you're 25. I'm posting some pictures of where we're staying to give you the idea. I must admit, my current living situation is a paradise, compared to my past accommodations. We've been playing a lot of cranium and trivial pursuit. I know.....we're lame.

Who would do that?
So I went to workout at the gym in the Air Force base the other day and I accidentially left my palm pilot. When I went back to get it, it was gone! Someone stole my freakin' palm pilot. Too bad they won't be able to charge it or do anything with it because I have the software. NahNahNah Nah Nah Naaaaah! That's what you get for stealing from me, (and hopefully something heavy falls on your head, that would be good too) I tried to put a little reward poster up, but the guy told me he had to do it, and then he just sat it on the counter. It is gone forever, rest in peace little palm pilot.
My team leaves for Lafayette, LA on Thursday. It's a 25 hour drive with my 11 person team in a 15 passenger van with the back seat out. OUCH. I can't wait to get started though. My internet access will probably be limited but I'll have my phone. Give me a call on the weekends if you want to talk. I've been so busy I haven't had much of a chance to call. I miss you guys. I bought Ashur this cool batman gun as a care package gift, but all I really want to do is come home and play with it with him.
David is on his way to Minnesota right now. Lets all give him a big shout out for living in a shack in the dead of winter with 2 guys in Northern Minnesota. How 'bout that.

gray hooded SWEAAAAAAATSHIRT!
So the internet is down at good ol' DC Village. I've been trying to post pictures for days, but no luck until now. For 120 people there are 3 computers with internet. I've rigged up a dial-up connection with the 6 months of free AOL that came with my computer, but dial-up is for CAVEMEN! Dial up hates photos, and that's all I've been trying to do. On MLK day we are going to help the homeless at a local school. Haircuts, hyigene, and job skills classes will be offered. They expect 1,000 homeless individuals to attend. I would too, since it's 30 degrees outside with 60 mph winds (I'm not exaggerating). I'm going to an internet cafe on Tuesday, so if this doesn't work. I'll see you then.

Medula Oblongata
I'm a bad bad blogger. I really need to start keeping up with this. My next project is......dadada DA!: Lafayette, Louisiana. My team will be working side by side with families whose houses were severely damaged by the hurricane to de-mud, gut and rebuild them. It’ll be hard work, but I cannot imagine anything that would satisfy me greater. We're supposed to watch for snakes and spiders that might be living in the wet walls and furniture that had to be abandoned. I"m sure I'll come back with some good stories. I had such a blast at Christmas break and it was good to see you. I hope all is well at home. I miss you already. Everyone is busy and getting ready to head out on our next projects. Computers with internet are scarce. We had about 12 but several of them "got sick" and "died". I've just been typing stuff up and then getting a computer for a few minutes to post and connect. I know, riveting stuff.
