Life's a Beach

Today I was listening to music that I haven't listened to since High School (Linkin Park's Meteroa). It got me thinking about how I use to think back then (a whoopin' 6 years ago). Back in the day, the main issues I had were; drill, boys, work, boys, school, boys and of course, rebelling against the parents and any authority figure. If only things where that simple now... and yet apparently they get worse as life goes on!

Now that I am faced with adult issues such as career, love, money, lack of money, wanting to find a way to earn lots of money, I am envious of my High School days and of those young kids and their petty issues...

So what is a gal to do.

snow!!

We had our first couple of actual snow storms! PCMR (Park City Mountain Resort) is now blowing the snow machines and hopefully this cold and snow will keep up so that the resorts can open on time this year! (Last year was far to warm so the resorts opened 2 weeks late!) This year I am making an attempt at being a ski instructor at either PCMR or the Canyons. I really want a free pass this year since I'm super poor. Plus it would give me the chance to be outside more than last winter... after all I did move here to be outside. Wish me luck!

Looks like a poem...

It is easier to type than write.

It is easier to judge that actually live the life you are judging.

It is easy for me to look and you and want exactly what you have.

Some days it is hard to look into the mirror and like the face gazing back at you.

Some days you wonder why you ever feel sad, why every moment can't fee like this.

Sometimes I hate you.

Every now and again I get lost in a song.

Once in a while a laugh until it hurts.

More often than I'd like to admit, I cry until it burns.

Sometimes I'm numb.

Most of the time I go through the motions and enjoy doing so.

It is easier to miss you than deal with the fact that you are gone.

Too often I think that a new town will fix everything.

Every time I have found to be wrong.

Life isn't the way any of us planned.

It leaves us confused, hurt, and with more questions than answers.

But it is uniquely ours.

Like it or not.

Fall

Is that the name of the season or what happens to you during the time before winter and after summer has gone? My life has been a whirl wind the last month with a new coaching job, my last day at the Marriott and dealing with things I never wanted to. There is something amazing about the changing of the leaves, especially on such a perfect day as featured above.

Fall didn't last long and I can say that considering that it is now snowing. It was beautiful while it did last! We even got a visit from Candice & Keith & Remi! Those pictures coming soon!!

Injuries

This has not been my year... I have gotten hurt so much in the past 5 months that you would think I am accident prone or Bella Swan (sigh, no Edward).

In March I learned how to snowboard, I'm already an fantastic skier so i decided to do something humbling... and humbling it was! I was on my ass most of the time and as a result, I broke (or extremely bruised) my coccyx. I could sit for weeks and it still hurts if i sit too long.

Now May has been rather tramatic for my body...

After I got back from Houston, I was wearing my new shoes to work and it caused a small cut in the back of my right foot. Nothing new, nothing major, happens all the time with new shoes. Two nights later I woke up in an extreme amount of pain for a little cut. Over the next couple of days my foot puffed up so big that I couldn't bend my foot. Turns out I had gotten a serious infection, had to get a shot in the hip (holy hell that hurt!!) and put on serious antibiotics that made my very ill (lost 5 pounds in 5 days).

Then the antibiotics gave my an inchy rash all over my body. I couldn't even wear normal clothes.

Between that, I took a fall running at full speed because I told my body to jump and it didn't and I brused both my knees... My left one is still a little off.

Today I decided to go trail running. It was quite a beautiful trail and uphill. On the way back I was flying (do to the fact that I was running down hill) and I hit a edge just so and sprained my ankle. I was a mile in the woods and had to gimp out with a stick as my crutch.

I just can't win.
