Yesterday I celebrated a semi-annual say no to homework day. It was delightful :) I was verrrrrrrry lazy in the morning, followed by a very productive clean up the house spree. Then the pooperdog and I went and explored a new park -- Stratton Open Space. Apparently it is very popular for mt. biking too. It is actually very close to home, so its easy to get to. I think it will be our official new favorite place for a while because it has great trails that wander over some open space and then into nice scrubby oak (just like at camp!) and pine trees. A good up/down/flat variety, and the best part is that the trails wander around a small reservoir! This means swimming time for the pooperman!! He was thrilled :) I reveled in the sound of the wind and soaked in the sunshine, and I thouroughly enjoyed not even thinking about all the stuff I "should" have been doing. The trails were near the northern base of Cheyenne Mountain (aka where the Stargate is for you science fiction fans) and there is a shrine on the face of the mountain (to Will Rogers I think) and it has chimes that echo off the mountain. Very very cool.
Today (after a yummy lunch with the parents) I need to work on my math video/project and revise my MR paper, both which are due this coming week. But only 2 1/2 days left of class until I get a break! yay!
Oh... and I keep forgetting to post this very cool picture I took last week of the sunrise/moonset looking from my apt towards Pikes Peak. But the computer is being dumb right now, so I will try later.
