Don't Retreat, Just Reload

I'm not feeling too hot, but I wanted to update this blog on my latest adventures in Vegetarianism. I finally ventured into Whole Foods, or at least one of them in Denver, and it was wondrous. It was like the two aisles I shop in at Safeway, but expanded into a whole store. And the samples were to die for. I really do think the prices would be comparable since the organic food at Safeway is expensive anyways, might as well have a selection. We'll see what I discover there.

Another new love: Sarah Palin's Alaska show on TLC. Oh My God why did it take so long for someone to think of this? Pure genius. I found the substitute for my Sister Wives withdrawals. Hate her or love her, the woman lives one interesting life in Alaska and makes one hell of a reality show.

Finally, things have gotten a little sketchy this past week. I don't know what it is, but I can feel the distance like its palpable. People always say that separation doesn't make the heart grow stronger, it just shows you that you can live your life without that person. And I'm worried I'm hitting the point where my life is starting to redefine itself. In 6 days I go home and I'm hoping things start falling back into place. I hope they do. I don't want this to happen.

So many things. One paper. One test. One script. One flight.
Cheers.

Autumn: The Time of Change

I was just re-reading some of my older posts. (Very literally, I'm trying to waste time so that I can digest breakfast before I go out and run.) It's amazing how much things have changed since I first blogged here in CO. I was miserable. I had no friends, I sat in my apartment all day, and I was homesick. I missed my family, my friends, my boyfriend, and that's all I talked about. And I'm not judging myself because of it--it was really hard to move out here alone and start over. It's a romanticized notion of adventure. But after the first month or so, it really does start to live up to its expectations.

Of course I still miss everyone, but it's not a physical pain anymore. It's just a thought in the back of my mind. Does that sound bad? I don't mean it to. Plus, I have a steady friend base (and by that, I mean three people). But they get me out of my apartment at least every weekend, usually more. I do need to focus on my work more, especially with only three weeks left, but I'm just too excited to get out and live in Denver. As cheesy as that is.

That's my reflection on change, not the leaves kind. Although, I have to say, Colorado Falls kick any other states' ass. So gorgeous! I don't even want to take a picture because I doubt it will do it justice.

On other news, the vegetarianism still lives on. Further cooking adventures have been Spaghetti Squash (FIVE STARS!) and Garlic & Olive Oil Couscous, also delish. And the running part of me is doing a 5k on Saturday morning up in Erie, CO. It's called the Eerie Erie, hah. Basically, you run in your costume. I'm sure I'll have more to say about Halloween weekend later.

Until then, cheers!
