Berry Picking finally!

So I was not even going to come to the pharmacy today to write this email because I was feeling lazy.  But its a good thing I did.  I almost forgot that today was Monday and that I owe everyone an email of my happening this week.  So that is next on my agenda. 
 
I had so much planned last night and I got all of it done.  I was totally psyched.  I wanted to finish printing pictures for my scrapbook, finish the Wealthy Barber and start Two Old Women.  I got it all done.  I was so proud.
 
I got up early this morning and had time to do something to my hair.  Normally I either leave it down or I just tie the front of it up.  But I actually did my hair this morning.  Work was ok.  I am not going to lie, it was pretty tense.  You see Brooks came back from this vacation and we had a situation that needed to be dealt with.  As I mentioned when I was coming up here, I am supposed to go on a village visit and then I was supposed to go to Katami to visit the bears.  Well Luke's parents are in town and they want to go to Katami and visit the bears as well.  So in an effort to accommodate everyone Brooks' told Luke to get his parents and himself all set and then he would work our village visit around them.  Well, I was getting pretty worried about going and that we were not going to make it to the village.  Luke's mom called and made the arrangements for them.  They were going on Thursday.  So I called Brooks at home at like 4:30 and I asked him what that ment for Laura and I.  He said that we could go Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday of next week.  Its a three day trip.  So we had four days to play around with which was good. 
 
When I got off the phone, Ronya said that he may pull me aside tomorrow and say something about me calling him at home.  I was getting really upset because I was feeling like the things that I was promised when I came out here were not going to happen.  That is why I needed to call him at home and I will tell him that.  I was hearing Laura who kept saying that we were not going to go and that was what was making me upset.  So I needed for my own sanity to call Brooks and talk to him about it.  I hope he is not mad.  I just have a different way of dealing with problems then he does and I saw the solution immediately but he didn't and it was hard for me to accept it.  So I made the decision for him.  I think that it will all be ok. 
 
After that, Laura and I went to her place and had dinner.  We made tacos.  They were good.  Then we got on line and planned our trip.  I have to call tomorrow to make reservations but other than that we are all set I hope.  Ronya seems to think that Brooks might change his mind but I hope not.  Then I played around with Laura's camera.  She just got a digital and had not even taken it out of the box. 
 
When I got home I decided that I needed to pick some berries or I might never do it.  So I called Aaron and Pat and we went out to pick some berries.  I picked a few blueberries but mostly salmon berries.  Now I bet you are wondering what salmon berries are.  I did too!  They look like raspberries and are slightly bitter.  But they are pretty good.  I picked a whole bunch and had lots of fun.  Thank goodness that Aaron let me use his bug net because they were awful out on the tundra.  I need to get waders that is all there is to it.   Tonight I am going to go home and read some more.  I want to get that book done soon. 
 
Oh so I almost forgot.  I got a package today.  Amy sent me a care package.  It had cream savers, chap stick, reces pieces, a note and a very cute braclet.  I am actually wearing it right now.  Very cool!
