Good News!
I finally got my sorry "soft" butt off the couch and went camping this weekend!! And due to a lack of chairs I barely sat down the whole evening. It was grand. It was my boyfriend and two of his best friends, Cana the dog and me. While people may think..you were probalby very out numbered...not really. I had a very lovely evening. You see while I looooove Alaskan summers they have one critical flaw, no dark, warm starry nights. Last night we were up in the White Mountains about Fifty Miles east of Fairbanks and you could see the stars, the moon and even the northern lights (they were a little wussy though...). It was wonderful. ONLY problem was it was super windy up there. Which made it hard to sleep.
We all shared a tent, even the dog and I was between my boyfriend and one of his friends. One of my personal rules is to not be on the outside of a tent if at all possible...though when I would wake up I had to make sure which direction I was facing before scooting closer to share a little body heat. That could have been ackward ;). Another great thing about sharing a tent is its kinda like a big slumber party. All the little jokes and giggling before going to sleep...and after waking up in the morning which is always fun. I didn't know that boys do that. It was quite a fun surprise.
Next weekend is my last weekend of summer. I know I gave my boyfriend a hard time about not getting out of the house more often and blah blah blah. Looking back, I feel really bad about it. How dare I complain when he works all day six days a week..and I am just really thankful for all our time we did get to spend together and I shouldn't require that we drive fifty miles out of town to do that.
In honor of my guilt I have become more motivated than ever to clean my apartment and make it some place I WANT to be in..and I am trying really SUPER hard to save some money so I am spending this evening looking at inspriation for cheap and beautiful things to spruce this place up...I have been purging my crap and well maybe I purged too much...
First thing is first and I am going for a walk..or a run or a bike ride...I havn'et decided yet. I am updating my Zune as we speak. Gotta get new tunes to get that body movin'. I am thinking bike ride. My ankle and I have not been on the best of terms the last two days.

But as I like to say blogs are better with pictures....unfortunatley if I dont get up and get moving soon my motivation will be lost. As much as I loooove having the word "soft" associated with my backside, I need to get up and get going. When I return maybe I will have some inspiring life changing thought I will need to profess to the world. No promises though.
