The Rock

I'm ALWAYS at Regency so whenever ANYONE wants to come visit...:)

um....oh yeah--I'm tabling all of the suggestions of things to write about for now cuz I thought of one on my own (sort of) and I'll forget it unless I write about it now.

I went rock climbing today for the second time. The last time I climbed, I could not get up this one route no matter how hard I tried and to be honest and uncensored(ish) - it pissed me off. I'm serious. I dreamt about it forever out of that. And I've really been looking forward to coming back to Lincoln (where I'm blogging from now--dork) and getting up that route. (The purple route.) So I FREAKING GOT IT TODAY. Thank you very much. It took me forever and I kept getting mad at Jenny because she kept giving me slack and I didn't want slack but FINALLY I got it. All praise will be accepted.

I reallly love climbing. And there's a lot of good thoughts that come to you when you're hanging by your fingertips off of a plastic rock ten feet up in the air. You can learn a lot about life from climbing. Like that fact that you can't move up unless you let go and be unstable first. And if you don't move up, you're stuck. And the more it hurts, the better it feels when you've conquered it.

This has not been a fun week. Just because. But I have some new favorite people because of it.

And I freaking love the family I live with. Yup.

Keep the suggestions coming cuz I'll write about every single one of them. I promise.

I'm so bummed -- I just read your blog for the first time in Sept and I started from the bottom up -- you know, to keep it in order and I was about to chime in and guess the number of people you served during your 10 hour day when I realized this contest was over a long time ago :) Actually my first thought was the same as Jenny's 10 :)

Now onto topics . . . I think the family you're living with is pretty great too, but they have to give you some good blog material -- come on -- tell us some Boyd stories. Yes, I do know that Mindy and/or Tim may read this :)
