Summer plans, past and future

Sandra — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 05:18:03 +0000

Hello ScribbleWorlders! Yes, I know it’s been a while, but the school year is over and Chris and I are wondering what adventures are in store for us this summer. We’re hoping to take some interesting trips to learn more about sustainable communities in the upcoming weeks. Meanwhile, back home in good ol’ Tucson, AZ [...]

Biosphere 2

Sandra — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 02:59:19 +0000

I used my U of A student Catcard to get a 50% discount on admission into Biosphere 2, which normally runs $20/person. Money well spent, it was a unique experience being able to enter into a completely different climate just by taking a step into the next room-going from a balmy day in the rainforest [...]

New Year’s Eve in Tucson

Sandra — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 07:59:22 +0000

Happy New Year everyone! We decided to try something different this year and it turned out to be a wonderful night out on the town exploring Tucson’s historic entertainment district as part of the “First Night Tucson 2010” event. A $12 admission button earned us admission into the Beowulf Alley Theatre, the Fox Tucson Theatre, [...]

Hello

Sandra — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 05:32:28 +0000

Just checking in for a quick hello! We’ve been in the midst of end of semester stuff for school like studying for finals and a project on the evils of factory farming…that pretty much took the turkey out of Thanksgiving. It was hailing a few days ago-very unusual for Tucson, but it pretty much had [...]

U of A Underwear Run Across Campus

Sandra — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 06:06:04 +0000

Saw a funny sight on campus tonight while waiting for chris to come pick me up…all these students in their underwear and bras walking past me…finally I had to ask what was going on. It’s homecoming weekend but they were having a ‘donate your clothes’ event tonight for some charity. A few minutes later, at [...]

Day Trip to Kitt Peak Observatory

Sandra — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 02:03:11 +0000

Here are some pictures from a day trip out to the Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO) which was founded in 1958. Kitt Peak is about 56 miles southwest of Tucson and is part of the Tohono O’odham Nation (translated as “Desert People,”) which is a federally recognized tribe with a rich culture and history that [...]

I gave a Homeless Man Respect and Rice

Sandra — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 03:17:28 +0000

After driving to school for my one class of the day and playing “vitamin and mineral jeopardy” for extra credit points, I decided to take a new route home. I stopped for a bottle of kombucha, which I never actually got, because I was lured into a Sushi restaurant instead. On my way over, I [...]

Things to Come

Soon, Chris will give an update and share some pictures from his trip last week to San Francisco to attend the Norml conference. Thanks to all who took the time to answer the Scribble World Question of the week. I will definitely look into those time management suggestions and books….just as soon as I have [...]

Scribble World Question of the week

Sandra — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 04:57:11 +0000

Been thinking of making something called a WAPI for developing nations or the outback in Australia but don’t know if I will have any time because of all the homework. I’ve been using a timer lately-where I tell myself I’ll only work on something for one hour—but then it beeps and I’ll, of course, be [...]

Still Alive

Sandra — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 04:07:43 +0000

Wow I am sick today. Haven’t had that happen for a while. Maybe its the stress of going back to school. At least I have Chris to be nice and give me some of his treasured Puffs Vicks plus lotion kleenex-probably the best tissues ever invented–they were discontinued, so when they’re gone they’re gone. He [...]
