my beloved anthropologie, are you for serious?

gaper day 2010

it was 29 degrees when i woke up this morning.

looked like there may have been DEW on my car.

which reminded me of winter,

which made me want to ski,

which led me to start dreaming about gaper gear.

my favorite couple kim and poot just purchased their very own photo booth.

yes, please, and thank you. i think i fit the bill.
can't wait to put that on my resume.

surf wyoming

i had to share this video after seeing it on CNN.com. we rafted down this rapid, Lunch Counter, last month and i was holding on for dear life. these guys jumped in and surfed it! maybe the coolest/badass thing I've seen in a loooong time.

oh, the endless possibilities of my beautiful backyard.

vino

i want my own wine cellar.
filled with expensive wines from around the world which i will acquire on my trip.
i guess i need my own house first.

leigh lake hike

went hiking in grand teton national park on sunday with 2 of my roomies.

hiked to leigh lake > bearpaw lake > trapper lake. 7 miles. 4 hours round trip.

gorgeous day. perfect temperature. no bear encounters.

p.s. sorry for the awkward photos of me, my camera is broken and these are stolen

you idiot.

tourist: it's a love-hate relationship.

although they bring in mucho mula into the valley during the summer season, 99.9% of them are idiots. no argument there.
i understand it might be difficult to drive down the highway-22 when you are laying your eyes upon the tetons for the first time, but please, don't stop in the middle of the road and watch out for the road bikers. we usually wear bright colors anyways.
i understand you want to take a dip in the mighty snake river, but you absolutely can not float down in a tire tube. you will die.

please leave more than a 3$ tip on a $50 bar tab.
yes, we have a coldwater creek. go nuts.

my blood boils when i drive through yellowstone during the summer. when visiting my gal pal in big sky, i take the longer route through idaho. you may think that's crazy, who would avoid yellowstone? until you see how dumb humans are capable of being, you too would steer clear until tourist season dies down. i recently saw a man with a tripod in the middle of a buffalo herd. pretty certain he doesn't work for national geographic.

bears, buffalo, and moose do not want to be pet.
they don't want to be in your family christmas card.
food will attract bears.....and they will eat you.

donald, you should not have thrown that stick at the buffalo. now you and your wife are on cnn.com for being idiots...

i miss colorado.

this makes me miss my boulder chicas. reunion this homecoming??

earthquake!

Something awesome just happened. I experienced my first earthquake. Clancy was acting super strange before leaving work today and as I was saying bye to my boss I became extremely light headed...or so I thought. He calmly looked at me and said, "we're in an earthquake." Like, duh, they happen all of the time here. I always hear people talking about earthquakes in the middle of the night but I never wake up. I'm always super bummed I miss them. Wait, is that weird? I guess its bound to happen when you live over a supervolcano.

When National Geographic published their Yellowstone SUPERVOLCANO cover story last year, I had a ton of concerned phone calls and emails requesting that I move far, far away. The jig is up people. If that volcano blows, we're all toast! At my last visit to Old Faithful (supervolcano activity hotspot), a ranger told me that there has been evidence of yellowstone found on the east coast from the last time the supervolcano burst. Meaning: if this puppy blows, the whole continent is gone. Also, an important side note: the supervolcano is overdue for an explosion.
