Goooood Morning (or afternoon/evening?).
I hope you’re all having a good week! I’m enjoying my time here in Colorado Springs, I’ll be here until Sunday morning! Trying to relax, but I like to “maximize” my time… I need to learn to just be lazy. Perhaps today? We’ll see. Anyway, it’s Thursday, which means it’s time for another installment of Thursday Thoughts!
1. On our road trip Monday from Kansas City to Colorado Springs, my mother put her iTunes on shuffle… I’m sure you’re not surprised that my headphones went in after too many hours of this:
2. Aaaaaand I’ve already finished the book for Julie’s book club! I am on a ROLL! I should have packed more books with me… (Edited to add – I am also now halfway through another book as of this morning… I need to find a used bookstore).
3. I went on a hike yesterday in Cheyenne Mountain State Park. This was the first of many signs I saw warning me about wildlife. One of them said if the animal attacks, fight back. Let’s just say I considered turning around.
4. I considered purchasing this. But then I decided to save my $5.99 and take a picture instead.
5. Does anyone know where to buy Love Grown Hot Oats in Colorado? I know they’re in the state but I can’t find where I read to buy them. I’m dying to snag a few and bring them back to Chicago!
6. I haven’t run in a week because my IT band has been acting up again… Ugh. Rude. I have a 10K coming up in less than a month!
7. This is one of my favorite rock structures in Garden of the Gods, it’s called the Balancing Rock:
8. I often take selfies when I’m out places like the Balancing Rock alone… Gotta prove I was there! For the millionth time…
9. Is it bad that it’s been less than a week and I already miss this face? For anyone concerned, she was picked up by her “parents” from the puppy hotel and in very good spirits.
10. Have a great Thursday!
Have you ever encountered wildlife during a hike/in nature?
What’s your favorite music to listen to in the car/on a roadtrip?
