Vacation in New Mexico was wonderful. I loved it. We stayed at a place called Sunterra de Taos, a little spa and lodge run by a local lady. She gives massages too, but we didn’t take her up on that. This picture is looking outside the window of our “casita.” Beautiful.

Lately I haven’t been enjoying my job. Mostly because we have been short a person (or two) in our department for going on a year now. And it’s finally catching up and overwhelming us. Being in a Christian non-profit means an uphill climb to find the right person who will accept lower pay but still have the skills. It’s crazy hard. I’ve never hired anyone before, so this is a new experience for me and one that I’m not too excited about repeating.

Also, I’ve been super conscience lately about material possessions and how much I have and how much I throw away. Being an American it is so freakin hard not to buy something that doubles its weight in packaging that you just throw away. I try to recycle but why all the packaging in the first place. I’ve been reading Sex God lately by Rob Bell (it’s one of the 5 books I’m in the middle of reading) and he writes a bit about that and it really got me thinking of how I can be aware of this and do something about it. I’m still working out exactly how to. If anyone has ideas or a responses to this I’d love to hear them.

And… I’ve also been spending many waking (and sleeping moments) lately working www.evermeg.com. I purchased that url practically 6 months ago. So… I might neglect this blog til I finally get it done. Thanks to those of you who have “held me to it” like I asked in a previous post. I need all the motivation I can get.

Well friends… I just ran 4 miles this morning during the Denver Marathon. I ran with my friend, Jherysa, who is running the whole thing. I’m gonna go meet her at the finish line now so gotta go. I have a lot of respect for people who can run a Marathon. My puny 4 miles almost killed me.
