So life has been pretty normal. Work is going well - very busy but getting into the swing of things even more. Next week I get to learn how to be receptionist. I'm not looking forward to that. Let's just say our clients are not the easiest to deal with, and I don't like people getting mad at me, but I guess we all have to take our turn.

I spent last weekend up at Frisco. Took the dogs on a hike but the bugs were out in full force. It was too much like the east coast! Little gnats hovering around my face - I didn't think to bring bug spray, you just don't need it that much in CO. But the weekend was good. I came back early to see The Full Monty at the Arvada Center with Lara. It was hiLARious!!! We were in the 3rd row, so it was a little close for comfort at times, but all in all, it was great. I highly recommend that show to anyone. Even better than the movie.

Other exciting news - I reserved a kayak!!!! The shops all have boats that people can try out (called demo's) and at the end of the season they sell them cheaper. I had gone to Confluence Kayaks to talk to Scott and he had me sit in a bunch of them, and the one I liked the best was a Jackson 2 Fun. I called August 1st to put my deposit on one and I got one! I can't pick it up until after Labor Day, but then I can still at least take it out on the lake and practice strokes and maybe rolling. I used the money left over from the daycare ending, so I deserve a present.

Anyway, Lara and I are hiking Herman's Gulch tomorrow so I need to rest up. It's one of the harder hikes. But I need the exercise!
