Well, I am finally home now from my little getaway trip with the SO.  He's probably back in New York now, and I am better rested (took a little 4 hour nap when I got home).

It was a great little vacation:  we stayed at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, CO, did some hiking in neighboring Rocky Mountain National Park, the SO did some fishing in Estes ( Read more... )

Watching on tv right now on places to 'glamp'.  That's camping basically in lodges and not in your own tent and sleeping bag.

Maybe...  but I still like my sleeping bag!

Anyway....  such a long time away from LJ!  I've been in a writer's block frame of mind for sooo long.  Work has been keeping me down in a way.  Still have an uncomfortable ( Read more... )

Well, we got our third (?) helping of snow yesterday.  The day should be clear and we won't get any more snow until Saturday.  Just in time for the Wyoming/TCU game.  :-)

The SO is home on his R&R leave and it's nice having him home for a little while.  We went out and ran this morning in the snow, just a little over 3 miles.  But it was more of a ( Read more... )

I figure I'll have more than enough time to prepare for this trip, both ( Read more... )

Well, it certainly has been awhile, hasn't it?

So much going on here.  Work has been keeping me so busy.  The SO is getting ready to come home next month on his R&R leave, and I have a new roommate.  V is a co-worker and fellow archy.  She's a seasonal but will be onboard until next March.  We are both similar in many ways as far as likes and ( Read more... )

Wow!  It's been over a month since I last checked in.  I've just been sooo busy with work; I am actually back in the field!!  Oh, but the days have been so long that I'm racking up quite a lot of credit hours.

Whew, so tired,  But it's a good tired, I'm happy to be back out in the woods; we're finding stuff and while M can test my patience every now ( Read more... )

Been away from LJ for awhile.

Haven't really had a lot on my mind that I wanted to write down.  Everything's so-so, so nothing all that exciting I guess...  Well, I did get to go to another district last week and work.  It was nice seeing that part of the forest, albeit only a small portion of it, due to the high amount of snow still lingering ( Read more... )
