Sun and books

Wow! It's been a nice LONG weekend! I only worked until 10 on Friday so my weekend started early. After Lindsey and I got off work we showered and went to Cheyenne to meet our mom for a family day thing that her work had planned. Unfortunately we grabbed burger king before we left and missed out on the food they had there. For some reason we thought they didn't have food, I think we were just sickened with hunger. We got there and played a game kinda like horse shoes (I won), listened to a band (15 year old boys) who were pretty good but I wouldn't call it family friendly music lol, and just kinda hung out in the sun. We then went to Target and left our door prize tickets with our mom. Lindsey bought some really cute booties for Tayian and we both got a new pair of mocasins (sp.) then we went to Petsmart, then back home. That was kinda the end of our day for that part but we made big plans for the Greek Festival in Cheyenne the next day.

After FINALLY getting to sleep in yesterday I put some pork in the crock pot for dinner, showered, and headed to my mom's. Before we left we stopped by a garage sale in West Laramie and got some cute baby clothes, a pair of jeans for my mom, some kitchen utensils, a candle melter, a tiki station (weird I know Jay wanted it lol), an MWC blanket, and a car seat for Anthony all for under 30 bucks!!! We finally got to the gas station and then headed outta town. It was SO hot in Ft. Collins and I was glad I wore shorts. We ate some gyros walked around the greek festival and went to some stores downtown. Then we ran ALL over the place to get diapers and a rocking chair for my sister. We finally got to target and home depot then Talon and I walked to the bookstore where he bought The Sword of Shannara and I got Julie and Julia.

This brings me to my next part... I finished The Time Traveler's Wife and was in tears as I finished it. I totally understand why Lani didn't like the ending now. I was partial to it but definitely wasn't sure about a couple chapters in the end. However, I have to say that it is brilliantly written and only once again makes me want to write a book. I just don't think I have the imagination that some people do and I don't think I could think up some of those things. What would I write about?! Well I started Julie and Julia last night and am already 100 pages in. It's totally different but I still like it. However, after a book like the Time Traveler's Wife it's almost like it doesn't compare. I don't know what it is with me reading book's that are movies lately? Angels and Demons, The Time Traveler's Wife, Julie and Julia. Maybe it's something about the thought that not only can I imagine it the way I want to, but then I get to see how someone else imagined it. Not sure, but they are all really good books.

Today we woke up around 9, ate a quick breakfast, then headed out to haul hay. Well the boys hauled hay I went on a walk... Shane said that he doesn't think it was 6 miles but it had to be somewhere close to that. When they started hauling I left with the dogs and walked all around the pasture over 5 hills and it had to be about an hour and a half. I don't know about Shane but there's no way that in that amount of time I walked any less than close to 6 miles. I should've brought my camera, but it also reminded me of my jealousy of Cameo's walks. Everywhere she goes there's pictures of something new and that is like that sometimes here... but not quite the same. Maybe I just need to take more time out of my walks and such to see the beauty in them. When I got home I realized I'd eaten about one pop tart since 9:30 and didn't feel well at all. So I slept for a long time after eating some of my pulled pork from last night. I am now finally up and was glad for the fun but restfull weekend!!
