All right, folks. Sorry things have been slow recently. I'm trying to get motivated to blog again, but it has been really hard lately. There are so many other things I want to do, but I still want to blog. Trying to fit everything in, plus work, is hard. This is gonna be a wordy post about things that have been happening around me. Forgive the ADD.
Summer is gone. It snowed in the mountains today. Snow. I found some pictures of the first tracks on Snowbird in Colorado. Of course, I can't remember where I found them, but I started drooling. At work. I want to go skiing soooooo badly. I can't even focus on fall colors yet, skiing has taken up so much of my focus. This will be a winter of epic powder opportunities, and I will not miss it.
I'm making a separate site for my pictures, but it is nowhere near completion. I'm still testing the customization of everything, and I'm trying to organize my pictures into galleries. Getting organized is hard enough when I'm procrastinating like usual, but when there are so many fun things to do around Kalispell I just can't concentrate. I'll do better, since summer is GONE NOW. I'm only slightly missing it. Slightly.
I still go up to Glacier or south to Flathead Lake whenever I can. I even went for a short hike yesterday afternoon along one side of Lake MacDonald in Glacier. Short as in a half mile. Wouldn't want to wear myself out, now, would I? Ha. I have a massive library of pictures saved up for future blogs, but I don't think I'll post as many as I have been. I'll let you know as I determine what is going on.
I went to a Sports Bar (capitalized because I will call this bar Sports Bar from now on. I liked it that much.) to watch the Packers/Panthers game on Sunday. Yes, Minnesotans, I went to a BAR on a SUNDAY. BEFORE NOON. Because I'm in a different time zone, I had to figure out what the hell time games are on here, and I don't like it. Eleven is too early for football, so I had a beer and a burger for breakfast. So since the Flathead Valley is so gorgeous, there are a lot of people here from elsewhere, like me. There are so many Packers fans in Whitefish, where Sports Bar is, that we take up the whole back room. And they projected our game on the giant screen. Because we're awesome. Anyway, I made friends! This is a strange situation for me, since I don't talk to people. Everyone knows everyone, so I stuck out in the crowd (also strange for me. It's a week of firsts, peeps.) enough for the locals to ask who I was and what I was doing in Whitefish. Rainy football Sunday led to my discovery of a micro-community in which I so clearly belong. Also, Sports Bar serves their liquid refreshments in mason jars. Love it.
I live in the mountains. This guy is just one of many reasons:
He's (she? I didn't check) a marmot, and they are everywhere in Glacier. I want one.
Everyone needs to come visit me, if only to realize that I am not crazy and that the valley is a wonderful place to live. I love it out here.
