Air

So here I am in Vail, CO.

I forgot how beautiful everything is out here. I spent most of Friday afternoon after we arrived lying on my bed staring out the porch door at the trees. It was a little Rain Man, I'm not gonna lie, but I just couldn't make myself not look. I slept really well, all the way through the night, which is rare for me.

Saturday was terribly lazy and exactly what I'd hoped it would be. Woke up, did my quiet time, spoke with Mums for a bit, read more of On Writing and wrote a little before realizing that my story that I started two weeks ago had gone stale and I didn't care about it any more. Around 1 it got warm enough and the clouds rolled back long enough for me to go take a dip in the pool and then lounge for a good two hours, listening to music, napping and reading. I, needless to say, was blissed out. Came back, took a shower and TOMBSTONE was on television. I about lost my mind. Read some more, we had dinner (take out from Bighorn Bistro aka my FAVS) and then Gladiator came on. Friday night the Patriot had been on. It's guy movie weekend. I am in heaven.

We're going to church this morning in Edwards. Should be a good service if it's the same guy we usually hear when we're up here. I love the drive to Edwards. Half commercial, half wilderness. I'll probably finish On Writing today, and if I'm not feeling especially lazy, start another story which I WILL finish before I get home. I also have The Green Mile with me, which will be the first King novel I've ever read. The movie was fantastic though, so I'm hoping for good things. If this is promising, I think I might read Misery or The Dead Zone. But who knows. White Noise is still sitting at home on my shelf half read.

School in less than a month. There's a lot of stuff I want to do before then. I keep dreaming about Busch Gardens! We'll see what happens.
