Wide Open Spaces
It was a very good weekend. I took Friday off work and enjoyed a perfect day. Top down on the car, dog next to me, sunshine on my face and wind in my hair. I headed north to Colorado Bend state park to camp out with some friends.
Blue skies and expansive vistas are tranquilizers for the suburbanite. We get so used to our narrow field of vision that just looking at some wide open spaces really is a balm for the soul.
We spent some time at the springs after arriving in the afternoon. Good company and great food marked the end of a great day. I snuggled diagonally into my two person tent (built for midgets), the one I haven't used since Woodstock '99. I exhaled. I was content and appreciative of just how well my life is turning out. Even the drunken teenagers stumbling through our campsite in the middle of the night didn't have much of an impact on my mood; although it should be noted that this is why I don't own a handgun since I was very near to becoming Yosemite Sam.
The morning was really brisk but we had a great little fire going and mimosas and migas met my morning appetite. We had a great long hike scampering over rocks and around waterfalls before winding up back at the springs. We lounged like lizards and enjoyed the sunshine and the extremely cold water.
I had a party to head to the same night back in
The dog has never been so well loved, so content, or so exhausted. I fell in love with her all over again on this trip along with everyone else. She really is a good dog. Before I could even put the car in reverse she had her head upside down on the center console of the car and was fast approaching dreamland. She slept pretty much the entire way home and most of the following day. Sweet pup.

Hi MD,
top down in the car- is this a convertable i imagine- wow you are doing well for yourself. And a talented successfull girl such as yourself can't find a guy- where is the justice!
You are very adventurous with camping - i love camping. All these activities you are doing are making me so inspired to try something similar even to meet friends and get out and try new things, look forward to each day and have the exciting life that isn't so routined.
I like these ltitle inserted blogs that show how you are feeling in yourself. The dates are great but just a little personal blog hear and there to try to understand what a girl is thinking is fantastic too.
Well off for the drive home from uni, thanks for keeping me occupied and company for the last couple of hours. This whole blog reading sure has lifted my spirits and made me more enthusiatic to get out there and document some of my own little experiments.
regards, A
