Easy Livin.: Snow Day Fun Day!

"The grass is always greener where you water it."

I chose this quote because my mother is always saying to me "Well, Dana, grass was always greener on the other side for you, wasn't it?". This statement not only makes my blood boil, but it makes me want to lightly punch her in the baby maker (love ya, ma!). So this quote makes me smile because it's similar to the quote I despise, but it has a fun twist to it that makes me happy. Sometimes it's hard to juggle all of lifes' obstacles and balance everything. I think my issue is I'm constantly wanting to find that happiness instead of just kickin' back and letting life run it's course and being happy along the ride. But I like to take action (it's the Type A way!). I want to find that job that I love and do the things I want to do and make things happen and then I'll be happy! But ya see, I know that's not the way it works. I also find that I forget I'm only 23 and need to chill the f- out and enjoy life as it plays out. For heaven's sake, five years ago I was 18 and starting college! Look at all I've done in five years! Who the hell knows what will happen in the next five years! It's so exciting! It's already exciting for me to say, wow, I graduated at 21 and worked a year, moved to CO on my own, and am working somewhere new. That's a lot in 2 years! (Congratulatory pat on the back, Dana) Okay, so where the hell am I going with this? I have no idea, but this is my blog so if I want to rant on about absolutely nothing on this glorious snow day, I can. Point is, people, life is fun. Life is whatever the hell you want it to be. Water it whatever way you want to. Today is a snowy blizzard of fabulousness. I took a few walks in it and it made me wish my sister was here with Landolino so we could be 5 again and laugh until we can't breath and drink hot cocoa with our clothes hanging over the heaters to dry off. I have many fond memories in the little amount of NC snow we had growing up.

This past weekend I didn't really do much. I was fighting off a cold, so I wasn't feeling as energetic this week as I usually do. Saturday I went to Boulder to visit my friend from Apex. It was very enjoyable and we just spent the day walking around Pearl Street Mall looking in shops and then drank too many apricot brews (which are freakin' delicious, by the way). Sunday I attempted another hike at Deer Creek Canyon. I tried out a different loop and was going to also try a trail that I have really been wanting to see, but I got very dizzy during my hike and had to cut it short. I was thoroughly displeased with these turn of events, but I'll just have to go back. Not many pictures were taken on my hike because I'd already been on the trail the week previous, but I did find a very large surprise! Have a great weekend everyone!
