Another chill weekend

As this summer goes on, I'm getting progressively more tan, toned, relaxed, and less concerned with taking showers. I also tend not to sleep in my bed. I prefer the couch on the porch of the double-wide trailer. It has a nice view of the front yard, lilac bushes, and our tree swing in the giant tree in the front yard - plus you can hear the Entiat River from there. And it's not so incredibly hot. 

Team dynamics seem to have changed this week - we're getting to know each other better, which is both good and bad. People have just been lethargic this weekend as well. I think it may have something to do with an epic tournament of flip cup we played the other night that entailed 4 games with two cups each per game... nah, that's probably not it. Hello, family. I am of age, in case you've forgotten. :)

Yesterday one of our team leaders (after the epic flip cup game) got up at 5:30 and got second place in a 5k in Chelan up by the lake. So we went to celebrate with him and spend some time playing frisbee in the water and having a sun-drenched picnic. It was a beautiful day, with awesome people, good music, and good food. 

I finally got food stamps (since I quit a job that paid me more than this one - which technically pays me nothing - I got them a month later than everyone else). Which at first made me feel bad until I realized that I can use them to support local, organic farms and businesses. Mmm local chocolate covered cherries. 

Then today four of us went bouldering by the side of the road a few miles away. I can't wait to go again. It's really satisfying to try something over and over and finally figure out how to get up to the top. I really want to get more into climbing. 

Weeellll, I guess that's about all I have to say for now. Here comes another week!

it's on my facebook profile in the box below my picture... PO box 287, ardenvoir, WA, 98811.

also... our schedule is so unpredictable that i can't tell you when i'm going to be on spike in two weeks, nevermind in august. so i really can't be certain that i'd be able to see you. and it would suck if you came to washington to see me and i couldn't hang out with you because i was in the woods somewhere. but if you do come with adrianne, depending on my schedule, i might be able to meet up with you somewhere. i dunno. misss you!
