Breaking the silence

I'm not exactly sure why I haven't made more of an effort to write lately.  We've gotten ourselves into a bit of a routine these last few weeks and I guess all is just clicking right along.  Of course there's been a million passing thoughts, ideas, complaints, inspirations, joys, and low points that I've wished I would've written about but all that is in the past at the moment.  Right now I am sitting on our back porch, amongst our bit of dessert-land (the backyard) and enjoying the sunshine.  The nights and mornings have started to be in the low 40s so the house is now chilly and will go from chilly to down right freezing in a matter of weeks I'm sure. 

This week I've had the good fortune of being able to work from home on the project with Falcon.  We are asked to work four 10s, so I'm still on the computer most of the day but at least I am at home and can have some flexibility in when I get my hours in.

I'm slowly getting back into a decent workout routine.  I finally joined a gym and as ridiculous as it may sound, man did I need to do that a few months ago.  It has helped my psyche tremendously!  . . . not so much my weight but I have felt generally a lot better since getting back into the gym last month.  I missed spinning way more than I realized (and so did my thighs). 

The first of the snow caps are back and the mountains look beautiful, along fall colors.  The weather is really perfect right now and the doggies are loving it.  Although I know, Dixie, at least is looking forward to some more snow to roll around in for sure. 

Hard to believe it is almost Halloween.  EVERYONE says we'll most likely have snow on the ground by then.  We didn't get ski passes yet and not sure we'll be able again this year.  Plus I obviously need a board and boots.  There's several sales going on at all the outdoor gear places but other bills have obviously taken precedence.  I do hope to try and get up on a board a few times this year, or rather try and go to the mountain and attempt to get up on a board.  I've met a friend at work that says she needs to re-learn riding and will be glad to go out with me some days.  We'll see about all that!

EXCITING, EXCITING NEWS!!!  We have our first visitors coming for New Year's Eve.  We'll be ringing in 2011 with the McCls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Hope we aren't all snowed in :)
