Toenails Are Ready, It Must be Time to Go!

This week has flown by trying to get the last of my 2010 training in, starting classes up again, and trying to keep my head about me with my research. I've succeeded at 2 of the 3...that's not too bad! :)

I'm all prepared and ready to head to Canada for World Champs! It's gonna be a good one...I've got a feeling! :)

I Used to Think Skunks Were Cute

The full moon tonight was awesome!

Well, maybe it's only the cartoon skunks like Flower from Bambi that I think are cute because the one that just about sprayed me in our back garden tonight certainly isn't cute!! I mean, I didn't get a close look, but I'm willing to bet that it's NOT! Seriously, I came home from school and walked into the back garden and thought that the neighbors cat was standing there. Then I thought, "Wow, that's a big cat with a really big tail, and ohhhhhh shit! That's not a cat, and I'm right in the firing range! Get a move on!" haha I didn't get sprayed, luckily, but it has been stinking like skunk at our house quite a bit lately, and at least now we know why. Tonight the skunk decided to go through the compost bin, which is outside because the earwigs and fruit flies have taken it over! Spiders have taken over the house, too! I'm not really sure what's up, but before too long we're going to have more species than the Denver Zoo...not the San Diego Zoo, just the Denver Zoo.

27 Hr Visit from Molly

Eldora Ski Resort from the Lookout Trail

I don't get to hang out with Molly very often, and we packed in just about as much fun as we possibly could in the 27 hrs that she got to spend in Boulder! Tapas at the Med, pints and nachos at the Mtn Sun, "Eat, Pray, Love", and mountain biking in Ned! Whirlwind!!!

Always having a giggle!

5 years old!

Marshall's favourite colour is blue and he's into riding bike
right now, so this was what I got him for his bday! :)

5 years ago, my sis had my wonderful nephew Marshall. He's about the cutest and sweetest kid on the planet, and I wish I could spend more time with him. It's crazy to me that he just turned 5 on Sunday...time flies!

Anyway, life seems a bit boring right now with the only things really going on being training and school! Molly, one of my AMAZING and best friends is coming to town on Saturday, so hopefully we'll get up to some mischief worth blogging about! :)

Anxiety Levels at an All Time High!

Life as I know it...

Well, the rockstar National Champ lifestyle came to a quick halt once I returned to school on the Monday after National Champs. I've pretty much been pulling all-nighters and working on school stuff like crazy for the past couple of weeks. Today I realized that my life has pretty much been reduced to a bunch of scribbling on a variety of coloured post-it notes. Thank you 3M for that great invention. I'd be totally lost without these things!

Training is going great, and I just finished up my travel plans for World Champs, so I'm pretty excited about that. Until the 28th of August, it'll pretty much be eat, train, eat, school, school, school, eat, sleep, REPEAT! :)
