Intensity Month

Every time I turned around yesterday I had a donut in my hand and I was eating it.

I consumed 13 million calories of pure sugar yesterday. I don't know how it happened. Thanks, Halloween.

And then I "oh, what the hell-ed it", because I hadn't accomplished ANY of my daily goals, and watched the same movie twice - staying up way too late. These day happens. To-hell-with-it-days.

Today is a good day for resolutions.

I got this text from Nate just now:
"Today is such a good date for resolutions.
And if they are broken quickly they can
be remade in a mere 10 days on what
will be another great day for resolution."

True dat, Nate, true dat.

The instant blustery weather is awesome. Water chestnuts are falling at an accelerated rate from the tree above my orchard shack, knocking and skidding across the roof. And there are leaves all over the city streets.

I made a 100 song playlist called November Blood.

My last playlist called October Heart had only 40 songs.

It's going to be an intense month - I can feel it.

Intense!

While I Do Love Autumn....

Is this not the most beautiful helmet you ever saw?

RaVoe called me at Kohlers tonight to tell me that on the news it showed people were skiing up at Alta today, how exciting! I bought myself this helmet online this afternoon... I'm looking forward to using it soon.

I was re-reading some of my old blog posts just recently, and noticed I write a lot about the weather. And more times than not, the weather is usually making me very happy. The changes in the weather are invigorating. After a winter of wet pants and scraping snow, spring is ok. After three months of sun and heat, a fall storm is just what we need. And after a glorious fall, we are ready for scarves, ski lifts, and the smell of pine trees (at least I am). I am happy I live in an area where the four seasons are so prevalent. I thought for a while I would like to live in a desert because I love cacti and lizards... but the mountains are so wonderful, especially strapped to a snowboard.
