1st Week in AK!

Damn, I wish Sarah Palin was VP...then I wouldn't have to watch her on the local news all night!!!
She is just everywhere...the Alaskans love her!! Who cares that she was a former weather girl here--that just qualifies her to run our country!! Ted Stevens walks on water too! He's older than dirt and a crook--but they just love him!

I'm keeping my mouth shut on the whole subject--at school that is--until I get my 1st paycheck!!

My first week at school went well--I had to be pretty hard-nosed in the classroom, but I figure I can loosen up later. My room is looking great--soon I will have some pictures to show you!

My team and I went to the Moosetooth for beer and pizza last night--Winsor (not Winston as I called her in an earlier post and to her face--duh) the science teacher, set it up. It was very fun! I actually made it home on the highway--found my way home from Midtown--that's huge!

Winsor is 25ish and teaches science, Holly is 27ish and teaches soc studies, Ryan is 23 and teaches math...see what I'm getting at...Stephanie is 48 and teaches....you get it...but, the Sped teacher, Beth is my age or older--so that's good--she and I have that "life experience" if you know what I mean--LOL!

Everyone here has been so kind with invitations to do things. Denise , who owns the B and B goes to a singles dance for 35 and older--she's a pushing me to go........NOT happening! She has also asked me to attend church with her--well....you know the answer to that one! She is very nice to try to include me. A math teacher from school (Cheryl) who moved here recently from Kansas asked me to join her and friends this weekend. So there is plenty to do--I just have to do it!!

My car should arrive in Anchorage Monday night--Yeah--I feel lost and homeless without it!

The sunset as amazing tonight--it's 4:51pm and I'm overlooking the Cook Inlet--go to your maps!!

Miss you all--

SC
