Who, me?

Our organization is governed by the members - one of those "by the people, for the people" things. I'm not sure how it all works, and quite frankly, I've never really been too interested in all the ins and outs of it. But yesterday, at our conference here, we had "elections" on who would be on the next "executive committee". Guess who got elected to one of the positions?! Yikes. Yup, so I guess I'd better start learning about how this whole branch works. I gotta go to our first executive committee meeting on Friday. I guess I should be honored to have the opportunity to be on the leadership board of this group of people working together for such a noble cause. But man, it just seems like a lot of hard work that I really don't feel too equipped for! But I guess I'll learn fast!

On another note, I've been frustrated by trying to upload some photos. First, I tried to use Picasa - but since I have to re-install Picasa on my new old computer, I've had some trouble. I keep getting this message that tells me I can't use Picasa from this country! I've also tried uploading onto facebook, but every time I do that, my web browser completely freezes up and stops responding. So. I'm not quite sure what else to do. Sorry, Kendrah! Might have to revert to good old fashioned email (or, gasp!) a flash stick when I get back home to get you those photos of the Jebel!

I had quite a hard time staying awake this afternoon in the meetings, so I'd best be getting to sleep. Sorry, not too much adventure to be had around here, though I DID get to go to a MALL this evening! It wasn't all that exciting, but it's just fun to get out there and see what's there. I even pushed a grocery cart through the aisles of a grocery store! Of course, they didn't have that much more stuff than you would find at the normal corner stores here, but the fact that you could push a cart through the aisle was pretty slick. Not something you would have seen here a few years ago, that's for sure!
