Blogging is like bicycling...I can just hop back on. Right?

Blogging for me has become this ebb and flow of compulsive blogging rants followed by long periods of absence. I've been a busy bee, but I'm trying to get back onto the blogging train....SOOOOooOOOOoOo

Here's whats up:

I officially became an IU Campus Compact AmeriCorps volunteer.  Between now and August I will complete 300 hours of volunteer service primarily at the Boys and Girls Club of Bloomington, Gloabl Gifts, and the Interfaith Winter Shelter.  All of which are important causes-- kids, fair trade, homelessness and poverty.  

I am also an IU Tour Guide!

I saw HAIRat the IU Theater with Cassi.  

There was even a nude scene!

I went to Brown County with Shea and Kristen. 

I bought a wind chime and had the best pumpkin ice cream.

I was too distracted to take pictures, but Brown County is beautiful at this time of year.

Oh, and today I came home and noticed this... 

This seems like a totally normal view of my neighbor's house from my front porch

Pretty mundane right?

Notice anything out of the ordinary yet?

Uhp!

Yes this is a black pig just casually chained to their front porch. 

These neighbors never cease to surprise me. Last weekend for instance, they returned our initial neighborly gesture (delivering a homemade bunt cake) by putting a ceramic finger wrapped in aluminum foil in our mailbox as a thank you gift.
