Sweet news! We (Lee Ann and I) already have a place lined up in Clinton when we get back. L.A.'s mom already put the deposit down. Not the wonderful little Jefferson St. house (sigh) but a nice one down the street for not much more. Only a couple more days of work then back home. Planned out the route, should be much fun. Get to see a couple ( Read more... )

This morning (not BEFORE packing) we decided it would be best to stay at the Tetons another couple of weeks. A road trip does not seem like the most appropriate thing at the moment and maybe by then gas prices will have stabilized a bit. Very odd. Two more weeks ( Read more... )

Whoa. Can't believe I only have a week left. There was so much more that I wanted to do. Deep down I know I probably wouldn't have time for it all in a dozen summers though. It is so beautiful. How is it going to feel without the mountains over my shoulders and cool, dry breeze blowing my back? And no waterfall to hike to on my day off? No ( Read more... )

Whoa, just put in two weeks notice. How exciting. Must get miles and miles of hiking in before I leave. Much to look forward to. New tires on the CR-V and everything. Life is flowing smoothly at the moment. Can't wait for the road trip home. Or the Austin City Limits festival. Or to get back and see everyone and start planning what to do ( Read more... )

Not that I have anything to really say, but I feel like making an entry anyway. One a little nicer than the last. Been putting my foot in my mouth regularly at work today. Sometimes it is hard not to stereotype. Things are going much better today after getting things off my chest. A full week planned(isn't it always ( Read more... )

Sometimes just the thought of losing someone so dear to me makes me shake and quiver and suddenly stop pretending about situations and see them for what they are. Illusions are easy to maintain for a while. My head hurts. Its hard for me to focus. Work seems beyond my capacity at the moment and letting everything out in dramatic form my only ( Read more... )

so there is supposed to be this amoeba or something in the water there that will kill me in 10 days if it got into my body. we will see i guess. last night was great fun. soaked in the hot springs until it became unbearable then floated down the river to cool off. tomorrow is finally my off day. going to see the north ms allstars in the p.m. ( Read more... )

So yesterday I did this amazing hike. Up Cascade Canyon over Painbrush Divide and then down Paintbrush Canyon. It was great. I'll write more about it later. Late for work now. I put more pics on my site here though.  Oh baby, my feet hurt.

Just a little note during my dinner break. Everything is smooth here. This odd constant cloud cover is hanging around. We haven't had that before. If it rained then it was only for a little while then the sun would be out. I probably shouldn't have enven started this seeing as how I have nothing to say...

I'm sure it will hit me tomorrow. Six people that I appreciate the hell out of are leaving in one weekend. Everyone is beginning to prepare for it it seems. This will have to be a new era of sorts. New friends? More hiking? What to fill the time? L.A. and I are about to have two days off together. Me thinks a waterfall camping trip is in ( Read more... )
