Blonde

Super blonde.  I didn't quite intend to be this blonde but it's really grown on me.  I already bought colors to put in my hair, but I think I just may have to stay blonde for a little while.

This would be a new-old camo hoody.

Anchorage escape

Two outfits from a recent trip into Anchorage to visit with some friends that came up to Alaska from South Dakota.  I'm in love with these new boots if you didn't guess.

Day 1

Day 2

In the words of my friend Rex, "I say yes."

Sleepless nights

I've been thinking about this on and off for a while.  About insomnia and dreams.  And silly explanations that fail to make sense.  Sometimes I feel like I can't sleep at night because I don't have anything to dream.  I've never had dreams.  Never had that goal or job or dream to work for. Never wanted anything.  I mean I want happiness.  Ultimately.  But, who doesn't?  For someone (and I hate to sound like a pompous ass or anything) with considerable smarts and skills, why don't I have a dream?  Why don't I want something?  Why don't I have this life goal?  How can I just be floating by looking for something that will make me happy for a little while till I find something else?  What's wrong with me?  What did I miss?  What part of me is missing?

In my world I have insomnia because I've used up all my dreams.  On the nights that I can sleep, it's because a dream, even if it's just a day dream, has found me and enveloped me in tryptophan or sleep kisses.  On the nights I can't sleep, it's because nothing in me wants to dream or can dream.  Such a juvenile thought.

All smiles

And I don't know how it gets better than this, you take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless.

I'm not looking to shabby...  :)  This makes me happy.

New boots.  Yup, I'm in love.

I'm slimmer than I've been in a good bit of time.  I'm not entirely sure how it happened.  I started out running and that definitely helped.  I haven't been running for a few weeks now and I'm still managing to lose a few pounds here and there.  Although lately I've been out and about more and the weight has been melting off of me.  It's incredible.
I've had the opportunity to go out into the country with friends more than I've had in any other year before of being home.  And I've jumped at every opportunity.  Maybe that's helped.  Not having access to munchies all the time, and being out and active.  I'm not sure, but I'm gonna go with it and keep smiling.
I feel silly saying it, but I don't look too bad these days.
