Unlike sane people, Chris and I have a crazy love for little burros. We believe the world’s problems are being solved behind those blank stares and if there were only a way for us to tap into their thoughts humanity would finally find the keys to peace and brotherly love.  I’m serious, we LOVE donkeys, we take photos of donkeys, we purchase artwork with donkeys in it, we even have dreams for a little burro on our own little farm! YEA DONKEYS!!!!

Two weeks ago I read an advertisement for “Haulin’ Ass”…

Girl eating cookiesAfter mindlessly grazing through Monday, Tuesday AND Wednesday I decided to pull up the old resolutions to re-energize my 2012 commitment to health and fitness and to once again remind myself that women without work or kids should probably have slammin’ bodies. Oh how the delight meter soared (insert snark) when this little empowerment exercise reminded me of the four Colorado triathlons I’ve sworn to complete by the end of this summer…

Three thoughts came to mind:

1. Who forgets a resolution like that?

2. What was I thinking, and why the number four?

Where’s all the spunk and energy I had when writing these resolutions? “Under the 18″ of snow you were bragging about on Monday” says the bag of chips sitting in my lap. “Thanks for the reminder bag of chips” says Spice… as you can see, the snow really does a number on my enthusiasm for exercise.

Snowman at Hall Ranch, Boulder Co

I always appreciate when others leave smile-worthy art for all to enjoy

Last Friday Boulder set a record for the most snow to ever fall during the month of February. More than eighteen inches came down in less than 24 hours, turning Boulder into one of the most magical snowy wonderlands I’ve ever seen. I know the storm was a pain for many commuters but because I never have to be anywhere at any particular time (a lifestyle element I’ve worked hard to keep) I was able to enjoy the weather with a warm fire, a grilled cheese sammie, and my handsome husband…far from the commuting population.

Beginning the climb to Sangre's Hut

The smiles are always big at the beginning of backpack trips...

So excited to have another back country Hut trip on the horizon!!  We head out next week and because I’m too excited to wait (hence the excessive use of the word “excited”) I thought I’d post a quick travel journal from our last Hut trip… just in case we don’t return from this one due to bears, mountain lions or/and  “mother nature” (just a little stress for my mom).
