I went hiking again today - this time up on Chinook Pass. I seem to have reached another milestone on the "Things I Never Thought I'd Do" list -- using OFF! bug repellent as perfume after the hike, prior to going out for dinner!! In my defense, it was the orange bottle and it does smell pretty good. I'm still shaking my head over that one!

Hey Janelle! I found your web site! Very cool- Sheep Lake. Love that place. There is a great scramble at the top of that hill where you can see over into the Crystal Lakes Basin. Have to check that out next time. Baby steps with all things, including bug spray. HUGS!

Hi Tami! I'll have to check out the top of the hill next time. Maybe I'll get started before 2PM next time!
Sorry to those of you who really liked the outhouse picture - I've taken it down for now. I guess I was just so happy to see it at the end of the hike, I thought it was a beautiful sight. :-)

bHey....Is this the Naches loop trail?? If so, that was one of my favorite hikes growing up there. Sorry to say that I missed you when you were down here visiting your cousin, Nathan. How is life in yakima?

After I read Rory's blog I decided it was time to write a post about my ... life revolution of the past few months. I decided on my birthday to make this year a year of health. I didn't know exactly what that would look like at the time, but that was my theme. Then while in Hawaii, well - there's something very sobering about trotting around in a swimsuit in public. "You can fool some of the people all the time and all of the people some of the time but you can't fool any of them when you're wearing a swimsuit!" I was inspired to change my diet and life. It seemed like I'd been slowly adding weight and my 'baseline' was creeping up and up. I wasn't sure how or what would happen or if I could even do it, because I've failed a few times before, but I started making changes there in Hawaii and it has launched me on a really amazing journey - very educational to be sure! It's amazing how much info is out there that I just did n...

Musings and thoughts.... It's amazing how many thoughts can go floating through your head while frosting cupcake after cupcake. That's how I spent part of my evening ... thinking about why I love holidays so much and thinking about Valentines Day tomorrow. I had great plans to bake all these cupcakes and then spend some quality time curling my hair with my magic curling iron. Unfortunately I fell asleep while waiting for the cupcakes to cool so I am now out of time for the hair so I have to get up really early tomorrow and get curling. I celebrated Valentines Day a day early ... doing all the self-indulgent things I wanted to do. I'm most delighted with the eyebrow waxing lady I just went to today after work. She's definately an artist! She did a wonderful job and it was a wonderful way to kick off the next few days! One of my thoughts was about holidays and if maybe I missed my calling as, oh I don't know, an elementary school teacher? I just love holidays, ...

Ok - here's the big news: I bought a house! Yes, I have made the brave jump from the carefree, irresponsible life of a renter and am in the process of becoming a homeowner! It still has to be inspected and there are rumored to be a ridiculous number of papers to sign, but once that's all over .... it's mine! Woo hoo! So yes, that means I'm staying in Yakima. I like the sunshine, I like the fruit, I love my job, I love the food at the hospital most of the time, I like my Safeway store, I like my dentist, I like my doctor, I like my coworkers - basically I pretty much love my life! The location is perfect. I can (theoretically) walk to work, although we'll see about that. I'm near a fantastic park, a pool, my gym, and a few restaurants. The inside is cottage style, which really appeals to me. It's a 1940's house but appears to have been re-done on the inside. It had all the things I wanted when I made my "What my dream house looks like"...
