How I did it
How to learn needle felting
It took me
1 day
It made me

How I did it: I bought a kit which came complete with all supplies, and then I just followed the directions. The basic technique is simple, but it took quite a while to shape my little creation. Like I said above, I enjoyed making the owl, but didn't love the craft well enough that I do too much more of it in the future. Read how I did it…

How to get my wildlife rehabilitation permit
It took me
2 days
It made me
Happy

How I did it: I went through training at a local wildlife rehabilitation center; my permit was issued by Fish and Game, through the rehab center. The training taught various techniques for handling and caring for animals, as well as the legal issues and responsibilities involved. It only took a few hours to go through all of the training for the permit (although in order to do in-home foster care, additional training is required for each individual typ… Read how I did it…

How to feed mountain lions
It took me
1 day
It made me
Happy

How I did it: By volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitation center. The mountain lions aren't being rehabilitated - they are permanent residents, or "ambassador" animals. Mostly, they get fed chunks of deer meat. It's kind of nerve-wracking - I only went in one part of their enclosure when they were locked into the other part, but it's still quite exhilarating (and a little bit scary) to be so close to such a powerful predator, even with chain link fenc… Read how I did it…

Go on some fun adventures with my son this summer (read all 2 entries…)
Alaskan Cruise!

My son and I ended up doing a few fun things this summer – we camped a lot in June. I was doing field work (research on Western Pond Turtles), so we spent a bunch of time camping out near our research site. Even though I was working part of the time, we still had fun camping.

The big adventure, though, was a trip to Alaska. I decided about a month before school started up that I wanted to go somewhere I’d never been before, so I booked the two of us on an Alaskan cruise. It was FANTASTIC! Not only did we see some spectacular scenery, we saw a bunch of amazing wildlife as well. I think my favorites were the Orcas (killer whales). It was a wonderful trip, and in addition to the great things we saw, I really, really enjoyed the time I had with my son – we had so much fun together, it was totally worth going.

improve my guitar playing (read all 4 entries…)
A few new songs

Recently, I took some steps to improve my repertoire, and I learned a few new songs. (Mostly so I could have something to play on a camping trip I took for a Paleontology course I’m taking). I learned “Landslide,” refreshed my memory on how to play “Blackbird,” and came up with my own arrangements of a few other songs. Not a ton of progress, but it’s a start. I did have fun on the camping trip. :)

Next, I want to learn a few more Led Zeppelin songs.

Alaska!

My son and I went on a cruise to Alaska right before school started up again in August, and we had a fantastic time! Alaska is beautiful, and well worth the trip. I intend to go back again sometime.
