Thanks For Posting...
There were a few reasons I asked people to post a comment that they were reading along. One: To be brutally honest, I was getting a little disheartened after posting so many entries and not getting much feedback on the blog. Two: I knew people were reading along (thanks to my Cluster Map), but I didn't know who was actually reading. And I was surprised to see some of the posts!I thought I would post a little comment for each of you who took time out to post for me! You'll have to scroll down to find yours; I've put the names in bold.
To Ben Bonnet, an OAE (Old Antarctic Explorer): McMurdo's still here. And I've definitely come to realize what the love/hate relationship is. No matter how much I like my job, I will NEVER spend 14 months as a janitor down here. What's the status of your winter contract? Are you coming back or what? And you spent time and money at an internet cafe in Roma to check this site?? That's dedication, man.
Eric from OOOOOhhhh Claire, Wisconsin currently in Deutschland: Is it actually possible to pronounce Herzogenaurach? You've got something like 3 weeks to go before heading home, huh? Bet it's going fast!!
Jenny Jacobson?? How did you get my weblog? Did I give the URL to your mom? I'm happy to see you're reading along!!
Heather in Merrill: Do you have any M-80's? Ha! Ha! Ha! That one never gets old, yeah right.
I'm guessing cousin AMBER is reading my blog in Chaseburg, Wisconsin. How are you? I'm going to try calling you this weekend. Email me what time would work best!
Hi Sjoerd!! :)
Kiddo is either my cousin Jacob or my cousin Carrie. I'm thinking Jacob is Kiddo because Squirt is Carrie's name. If it's Jacob, how did your cross-country season go? If it's Carrie: LOOK OUT! She turns 16 soon and after passing her exam, will be legally allowed to drive!!! YIKES!! If Kiddo is neither of them, then you shouldn't make me guess like that!
I inspire you, Mark C??? You inspire me! You're one of the reasons I'm headed to Central Asia in 3 months!! Get your butt back out on the road so we can meet up in Kashgar!
Amy: I wish I got to drive those Deltas. I just get to ride shotgun when my friends are the recreation trip leaders. I drive regular vans jacked up on huge snow tires, and I've really only driven once so far. Good luck on the job hunt!!
I loved the Christmas card, Donna! Written on a piece of notebook paper: "Merry Christmas, Katie Mae! This is your C-mas card! I haven't found mine yet!" LOVED IT! I'm going to hang it with the rest of the Christmas cards I get!
Glad you're reading along, Em! Your big day is coming up soon!! Congrats!! Wish I could be there - especially since you're tying the knot in Florida! Hello BEACHES!!
Holly! I'll look into posting some photos using another site just for you! What works for you in Dubai? What are you up to nowadays? Where are you working?
Alissa, my well-traveled, supportive, and motivating darts partner! I'm missing you too! Thanks for keeping up with the reading! When are you thinking you'll be leaving Wisconsin... in the spring? I'll be home at the beginning of April! Hoping to catch you!
I'm keeping up my vball skills down here, Trish!
BIEGS - loved the CD's! Thanks for the package!! I just wanted to let you know: "I cooked that roast real good. I ain't s**tin' ya!"
Erin's Mom: Fortunately, I have Erin sightings every day! I'm happy to hear you're reading other blogs, but your daughter's is fantastic! She's so much more of a writer than I am... I'm just her photo hook-up!
Hey, Debs! Miss you too! How's the Life o' Debbie? And how's the Teddy-meister?
Hi, Katy from Madison! Thanks for reading! Keep checking back for photos... I'll have more up later this week!
Love you too, Aunt Rett! I just hung up that penguin door decoration you sent down. Everyone in my hallway loves it! Your next package will be in the mail later this week... hopefully in time to get there by Christmas!
Hi, Kai! Happy to hear you're reading a perfect strangers weblog... hope you're entertained!!
BOOTY and BABS!! I'm not sure how tall the penguins are exactly. I never get close enough to measure, but I'll work on that. Sounds like this could be a good penguin-sighting year... in my book, it already has been! We have to go out on the town when I'm back!!
Cousin Annie: Thanks for sending out the package! Loved Abbie's school photo and those huge dimples... wonder if her and I are related?? ;)
PHILLIP: Miller better say Hi! I was the best remote-control-toy-operator-and-battery-stocker he's ever had at the Shack(that's a blatant lie). Tell the boys, past and present, that I say Hello and that I'm still planning to prank call the store soon!
Laura Rohowetz - Your friends worked in the same department I work in!! Well, I know Sacia did at least! Small world! I'm surprised to see you're reading along! How did you get my weblog?? Thanks for keeping up with me!!

You added it! Yay! God, I'm a dork.

Hey Katie Mae! It was Jacob that posted himself as Kiddo. But I've been keeping up with the AMAZING Adventures of Katie almost every day. I miss you so much! I love you! Be safe!
Carrie Jo {Squirt..hehe}
Hay Katie, Kido is Jacob not Carrie Jo. I desided not to do cross-country this year. Sorry i didn't tell you.
Katie,
I'm home in the evenings usually by 8pm. Call me anytime.
