Goodbye July

That super clever rhyme of a title just made me think that I haven’t written you any poems recently. But don’t get your hopes too high, it isn’t going to happen today either.
July has been an inspirational month for me in the world of ice cream sandwiches. It also served as a reminder than not all inspiration is good. Ginger cookies with lemon ice cream = good, chocolate chip cookies with coffee ice cream = good, peanut butter cookies with chocolate chip ice cream = good, peanut butter cookies rolled in salt with chocolate chip ice cream = I’m still believing that this had the potential of being wonderful.
At work my position is changing, unfortunately no one has clued me in to what it is changing to. I do know that I’m still the Ambassador of Goodwill. In that role I run a scholarship program for students that are serving in their communities. We are supposed to award one a month but we were on hold for 2009 and the first half of 2010 so we’re playing catch-up and in July we gave four. My boss and I screen all the applicants first and then call in the winners for interviews with some of our staff. It’s a pretty neat program and since my boss and I are very like-minded on some things we are able to help out some very cool people. I really like the interviews, they are a great way for people in the office to be exposed to those in need and many candidates have a strong Christian testimony. Another great part of my job is yesterday I re-organized my boss’s files. They are now color coordinated; I forgot how gratifying it is to organize files.
Upcoming events:
From September 4th to 20th I’ll be back in Nicaragua. I’m excited to take the time off work and to see people and things. I’m sure more details will follow about that.
Tomorrow night the Roller Derby is in Richmond. My friend Keri invited me to go with her, she probably just wants to use me for my un-fancy car and those cardio-kick boxing classes I took at Davis.
Today is casual day and afternoon snack day at work.
August plans are up in the air, maybe I’ll hear from you.
