Desert Dreams

I miss the desert desperately. It feels like an eternity since I've been there. It is so cold where I am. I think I was fooling myself when a friend and I tried to go for a walk along a beautiful frozen river in Golden. It was sunny but I think only 5 degrees. Yeah. I know the desert is probably frozen right now but I can pretend. Right? If only I could just play in some dirt (or lay in it) and smell some sagebrush mmmmmm.

New Activities of Boredom

The skiing was incredible. I didn't forget a thing. I was about as good as I ever was which is not very good at all. I can't wait to go again but I'll have to save up for a while due to the high cost of everything skiing. Today I can add some new items of accomplishment to the list: Painted a dresser, made a measuring stick for Jackson, went ice skating , and baked a pie for national pie day. I also purchased some paint for the kitchen but believe it or not I actually have to go back to work now so there's no time for that. Sigh! I think I'm more productive when I have less time off. I know,weird.

New Year New Blog

One commitment I've made this year was to create some kind of journal so I thought why not a blog? So, I'm going to give it a shot. I've been off work now for two weeks and still have another week to go. I am dying of boredom which is so unusual for me. I've cooked, early spring cleaned, knitted up a storm, gone bowling a couple of times and walked the neighborhood relentlessly. I think I learned my lesson on giving away too many trips. Anyway, Lance and I are going skiing on Monday and I'm so excited. We haven't been for like 15 years. We usually snowboard but we haven't even done that for like 7 years. So, hopefully we don't hurt ourselves. Today just as I was feeling the boredom creep in unbearably a friend called me to work at Fridays tomorrow ( they let me work there whenever they need it) and it gave me hope for the future :) God never let's it get too bad for me to handle. I love Him.
