Heh, did you know that today is President's Day? I had totally forgotten until I got to the Pacific Post Office. Then like a little mocking ocean wave flooding my mind I remembered all of the "Remember: Post Office with be closed on 2/16" and "Library Will be Closed 2/16 in observation of President's Day" signs I had seen over the last two weeks. *grumble* Stupid random holidays, going around mucking up my plans for productive days. Now, despite the lameness factor of the Post Office and Library being closed I was able to get a flat rate envelope to ready my application and to return the first book on CD that I had borrowed. Then I drove around Pacific, which basically means "I drove down the other road in Pacific" and saw the sights!
I looked in the windows of the post office, the only actual post office-y part is that little sticking out part of the building... The rest is some form of a gift shop, they sell ficuses and Mylar balloons. There really isn't much else to Pacific, it's just a bunch of residential streets and bike trail - it is a really nice bike trail though, it kind of makes me wish I had a bike. And then, because I got bored with Pacific's one street I drove on over to Algona - that also only has one major road. I stopped in a general parking lot area in "Down Town" Algona which located at a major intersection/4-way stop and just watched the road for a bit while listening to Don and Ron on KIRO 710 AM. - I love KIRO! I'm going to be incredibly sad once they officially go to FM and I wont be able to listen to them on the AM in my car... Bah who cares!?! I'm selling my car anyway! Bah! But, I digress... :-P I sat at the intersection and addressed my flat rate envelope for WY and looked over my application. And praise Jesus I did! I had forgotten to get Pastor Tim's phone number and address for the reference section of the application. Have no fear! All is well, I sent him an e-mail as soon as I got home, I should be hearing from him shortly. Maybe me forgetting President's Day was God's way of getting my back. :-) Perhaps.
Here's some of the pictures I took while sitting in Algona.
Today is pretty much a wonderfully beautiful day, however it does seem to be just a little too windy and a lot too cold to call it prefect. I really think getting up early is good for me, I'm in a better mood and I feel so much more productive. And now, my legs hurt because they are tired from working, not sitting in a chair all day; It's a good pain. Today, I made all of the bread dough by myself, only a little bit of help from Manager Bryan when I had a question about the sugar free bread that I was making. Then I baked it with the help of Dominique and Lauren, two of the lovely ladies that I have the pleasure of working with. I get to work with Dominique the most, I like working with her the best - She's really good at seeing things that need to be done and helping to get them done as a team. Tomorrow, I get to learn how to make scones, cookies, brownies, and coffee cake, I can't wait. I'm sure I have lots of other fun things to write about. I'll just have to do it later. I'm tired and I need to crochet some monkey feet.
