Excuses


I have been slacking on the blog. Partially because my schedule is so tight in the mornings. I always have to start getting ready at 6:45 and be on the road by 7:15. Two people ride in our "car pool" this saves some money and makes the morning/afternoon rides a little more tolerable. Oh and our computer crashed and we lost everything. And...I am madly trying to get everything figured out for classes this summer in school psychology. I know I am crazy and can't stop going to school. I definitely know that I am officially CRAZY and I have the credentials to judge.
We went to Damon's parent which was a wonderful relaxing visit. We hiked in the Ruby mountains behind their house and rode the tandem. I also got to meet Damon's really cool nephew. It was a good fast visit. We got home at noon on Monday and we tamed the jungle in our back yard. We even sat in it Tuesday night. So relaxing with the cars racing by.
Here is what I wrote yesterday when I was feeling really philosophical - I started the day out good, but by 2pm the little stuff was bothering me again. I will start over today.
Why do we get caught up in normal everyday crap when at any moment life can turn into a huge tragedy? You know those people that are unshakeable? You could walk up to them and just say anything and they shrug and calmly move about their day. I want to be one of those people. At any moment your life could end or someone that you love could lose their life and there you were spending precious minutes – wasting time complaining, working, cleaning things. Damon’s answer is to sell everything and move to Mexico. I don’t believe that I would necessarily be happy in that space. My answer is to move a little out of town and have goats and chickens. Anyone want to housesit for the manger when we go on vacation to Mexico? The main question is will the goats be allowed in the house.
Okay I am really late now! No shower I guess. Think baby for Janice.
