Happy Wednesday!

So, guess what? I got the job. Yay me! I'm very excited to start this new job. My last day at this job is next Wednesday. I wish it was sooner...but I figured I'd be nice and give two weeks notice.

Things have been hectic in WebGal land. I think this week has been nuts. I haven't had a night to relax and do nothing. I like being busy...but I want a breather as well. Happily, I'm still managing to fit in my runs and continuing my "diet". This is my last week on "full fast." (Meaning all liquid.) I get to start eating one meal with protein and veggies on Friday. Yay! I've already planned out my entire next week of menus. Since I'm rather limited to certain protein and veggies, the planning is pretty simple, but it's still exciting. Tilapia and asparagus, here I come!

So last night I trained in animal handling at the zoo. Yep, that's right. I can now officially handle snakes, turtles, geckos, parrots, rabbits, ferrets, chickens, and more for the zoo. Surprisingly, my favorite was...the alligator. It's a baby alligator, but that's still able to do damage. It's very cool to hold one. They are amazing creatures! The picture I have to the right is about the size of what I handled last night. Cute, ain't they?

Well that's all for now.

geckos? you didn't mention geckos!

That alligator looks like a plastic dinosaur toy.

Congrats on the new job!

Gators rock. I have a picture somewhere of me holding a baby gator at the GatorLand Zoo in Orlando when I was 11. I need to find that picture! I can't wait until Casey and I get a house and I can start volunteering again.
