life goes on

Writing has always been an outlet for me.
Journals, Word, Blogger.
Lately there has been so much I want to write, yet nothing I want to share.
I keep trying to open up a new post to figure out what I want to share with the world.
And I get nothing.
There's so many thoughts I have inside my head.
But none of them will come out in an acceptable way.
And definitely not in a way that I want to share with the world.
So my only piece of wisdom I have for now is that
Life goes on whether we are ready for it to or not.
And we can either fight it or let it take us right along with it.
One leaves us in a pile of mush and one lets us at least pretend we're OK until we actually are.
One is a waste, and One.....not so much.

camping

This weekend Derek and I tried to go camping.
Less in the middle of nowhere camping and more civilized camping.
We packed up the cooler, tents, sleeping bags, and chairs in the car and headed up the canyon.
But everything ended up being filled to the brim with no room at the inn.
(At least we got some gorgeous views on the way up)
Lucky enough, we ended up stumbling upon Silver Lake, which is something we visited on our honeymoon.
After reminiscing and wishing we had a canoe we answered the call of our rumbling bellies and headed back down the canyon for dinner.
Instead of camping we decided to just do the fire portion-dinner and dessert at a day use picnic area.
Now, let me just give a shout out to my husband for making delicious tin foil dinners.
And to Wolf Em Sticks for giving me the dessert that I have been looking for my whole life.
(Now why can't I have a fire every night just so that I can fill my belly with what it demands???)
Once we had eaten our food Mother Nature decided that we had had enough fun.
It started pouring and put the last of our fire out of business for the night.
So we packed up once again that day and drove home in the somewhat setting sun.

>Cleaning Product: A dusting glove. Yeah, I know I'm a nerdy grown up that gets excited about weird things, but this is COOL and you can't deny it. I got them from my local grocery store but you can also get it here. It has seriously changed my life in the best way possible. My house never sees a speck of dust anymore.

>Clothing: Lularoe leggings. I have never felt something so soft on my legs. Also, they fit perfectly-no bunchy crotch here. Annnnnd they don't pill in the dryer. Winwinwinwinwin. The only problem is...I don't know how to buy them. Seriously, their buying process is confusing. You have to know people who have the goods. And then meet them in a dark alley.....

>Food: Salad Kits. SALAD KITS. I am not a huge salad fan, but I'm starting to think that it's just because I'm not making them right. These little babies have perfectly proportioned toppings and salad to dressing ratios. Bomb. And they come in a variety of delicious flavors sold at your local grocer in the produce section. Next to the plain, boring salads that don't come with their very own dressings and toppings.

>Tv Show: Grey's Anatomy. I'm watching it from the beginning. Again. I haven't seen the newest season yet and I figured that I better start at the beginning JUST IN CASE I forgot anything that will affect my viewing of the final season. Really, it's because I just like feeling that I'm a surgeon and know everything about how a hospital runs.

>Exercise: I have a tight neck and a constant sore back/shoulders/neck. So this video is a Godsend. I try to do this at least once or a couple times a week. And it really does help so much. I highly encourage it if you spend most of your days imitating the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
