February, so far we're friends

It's been a good week.
We camped along the North Umpqua river over the weekend, reading by fire light and discussing constellations beneathe the nights sky. I spent an entire day hiking with the mutts, exploring three waterfalls and miles of trails. The turqoise river was enough to teach even urban folk reverence for nature.

Labs looooove hiking!
B and I started a pretty intense workout regimen last week - P90x. I'm sure you've heard of it. Despite every muscle in my body aching I'm loving the endorphins. Only 83 more days to go...
Today was lovely. I receieved a phone call this morning offering me the evening shift position at work to which I eagerly accepted. They have to fill my position first so it may be a month or two... but there is an end in sight! The rest of the day was a kenpo workout and then a float down the river on our driftboat. I read a book while B fly fished. And now I am in the middle of writing this post admist perfecting the art of hard boiled eggs for a spinach salad, white wine in hand.
Now that's livin'.
How was your week?

I need a slice of your life.
This post actually brought tears to my eyes because I could feel growing happiness and peace. And I am happy for you.
Especially happy that you got the evening shift you've been wanting.
How I wish I could relax, explore nature and work out with you dear friend. I will call soon, I need to call soon :)
P.S. I had no desire to watch the superbowl either but something inside me told me that I should at least have it on, that it would be wrong not to. Must be the packer life style we grew up with, it's ingrained in us! haha
So I had it on, but I read a book the whole time :)
The book I'm reading is "Firefly Lane" and I think you would love it!
