It’s NaBloWriMo day #8. Hell yeah.
There are so many things that have raced through my brain today – things I could rattle on about for pages. But I’ll spare you… tonight. urb isn’t the place where I dump The Heavy anyway. Only my closest of friends are forced to suffer my full on rants and observations on life. Be grateful for that.
So how’s the weather over there? Hot? Cooling down? Here’s what it’s doing over here:
mountain weather is not for the thin of skin
Loveland ski area opened the ski season on Wednesday and A-basin follows suit Friday. First in the nation. Reason #326 to move to Colorado: our ski season kicks yours in the ‘nads! But seriously, we aren’t going to ski this weekend. We may be ski whores, but no one in this house really wants to wait hours in the lift line to ski the White Strip O’ Death (the single run of mostly man-made snow).
Today’s (tonight’s?) post is just a list of some things I like. I won’t be offended if you nod off, because I’m kinda nodding off myself here… Don’t get excited or anything. This isn’t creativity. It’s more like desperation. That’s what NaBloWriMo will do to you.
I like laughing.
I like cuddling with Kaweah on a cold winter day.
I like feeding my favorite people.
I like honesty.
I like puppies, kittens, and little kids with chubby cheeks.
I like that my grandma kicks ass.
I like the hour before sunrise when the world is quiet and anticipation for the day makes me smile.
i like rich colors
I like acts of kindness.
I like to hold my mother’s hand.
I like the damp smell of the spring melt in alpine forests.
I like sincere people.
I like my doctors, nurses, techs, and PTs who cared for me last year.
I like to walk with Jeremy into the wilderness.
I like creative people who use their powers to help others.
i like trees
I like science.
I like to be inspired.
I like to hug hello.
I like not caring what others think.
I like compassion.
I like night fishing for striped bass at 2 am with my dad.
I like to work hard.
I like waking up and remembering that my sister was in my dream.
I love this life I live.
