Insanity...

...doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results. I go nuts every time I loose the tweezers, a headband, a bottle of nail polish, a screwdriver, a certain color LED. I look in all the usual locations these things are found in. In the bathroom for the toiletries for example. I'll keep checking the same three drawers over and over, plus the makeup caddy. I'll keep going through each, getting more and more frustrated. Kyle is used to the "Have you seen my _____?", "Really, do you remember seeing it anywhere?". I start to curse myself and either find the damn thing on the TV stand in about 3 minutes, or I give up for the time being and said object becomes my next White Whale.  Not what my drawer looks like img source The Organizing Boutique More like mine but from The Organizing Boutique , maybe I should call them I have absolutely no association with these guys, they just had good pics. I didn't want you guys to see my real draws.  ...

Before I blogged I used to be able to afford travel.

Not fancy travel, but my flavor of travel. I like exploring the west that is rarely traveled. I like to avoid tourist destinations. Fortunately for me I live in one of the best cities for western American wilderness travel. I moved to Boise from the Midwest over 10 years ago. The best thing I did before I met Kyle was join the local outdoors Internet listserv. I've been on some amazing I mean really amazing trips organized by local outdoors enthusiasts to wild wonderful wilderness locations. These are just two trips:   None of those places can be driven to. The next place I'm headed for is in Arizona. The Verde River. Bring it.
