it has been so gorgeous in the Springs this week, and the boys have decided they're kidnapping me and we're going camping on Friday night. I continue to state that it's going to be freezing up in the mountains at night, but they say who cares, we're building a fire, let's go. this post is to say my goodbyes if I turn into an ice cube and never return.
ps- I cant wait for my paychecks to start arriving. Lord almighty, I have bills to pay.

life has been busy
(comparatively)
well, I got a job, which has been a major stress load off of my back. I started last week and have been working 8-4 this week.. everyone thinks I am going to hate it pretty soon but so far, I am just happy to be putting my energy toward something. I would make a horrible stay-at-home mom-- I do a good job cleaning and cooking and all that, but I get crazy by approx 1pm. having a job makes me feel like there is purpose for the day.
now I'm car shopping, which is almost more painful than job hunting. I've found a number of vehicles I thought I liked but in person there were problems. then I've found perfect vehicles that are too expensive or worse, someone has snatched up right before me. that's where I'm at now-- the Wrangler isn't perfect but it's fairly close to what I want and literally 20 min before I got to the dealership today, someone else put an offer down. sigh. hopefully the right car/Jeep will come around soon. :)

the beauty of Colorado
is that we can have a raging blizzard all day and night... and the next day, the roads are only wet because the freakin sun just melts everything in hours! love it. I was boxed into the house for nearly 24 hours there (since the PT Cruiser is not the most compatible with snow/ice) and almost went crazy. now it is sunny and going to warm up even more this weekend. woohoo! I am ready for spring.
in other, completely superficial news, I have been trying out a pointer finger ring. I have always been a ring person and usually I wear three- one on my left middle finger, one on my right ring finger, and one on my right thumb. lately, though, I've been trying the left ring finger and the right pointer finger (this is mesmerizing and fascinating, I know). can't decide if I like it.. first I wore the thumb ring but that was too big, and now I'm on my Africa ring, which I like more even though it's a little tight. we'll see. there's something about wearing rings that makes me feel more complete, and sometimes a little more elegant. when I don't wear them, I feel a little lost. I even wrote this story once about a time in Africa when my thumb ring fell off right at the water's edge on the beach. it wasn't the ring I had the longest or the most expensive one, but it was my touchstone, the one I couldn't imagine NOT wearing. ..although I think that story had less to do with the ring and more to do with, well, other stuff. hmm.

summer, please.
big snowstorm headed in... in fact, I see flurries starting to fall outside the window. apparently up in Woodland Park (just 30 min up the pass into the mountains), they had two inches in fifteen minutes. umm. hello, I will be locked in the house since the PT is a deathtrap in the snow.
other news- I am pretty sure I am the queen of making mistakes and screwing up my life. awesome.

still.
I can't get over what happened to Whitney Hendrickson (the girl who died in the freak accident yesterday). since I'm part of the Co Spgs Facebook network, I can see her page and it is so sad. she was so beautiful... and to think, witnesses reported her screams and pleas for help as she was trapped in the flames. God.
