Good Day



My God...Moab is amazing....one of those cloudless days.....waiting for clients feed back on projects....what's a girl to do?

GO FOR A BIKE RIDE!!!! Toooooo the FISHER TOWERS!!!!!....it was fantastic, the road winds along the colorado river through the canyon....past a ga'gillion amazing canyons....natrual arches and TOWERS!!!!! The whole loop was about 55+ some miles of amazing.



Soooo yeh the fishers....amazing. I didnt take this photo....but it's still good.




The Towers are composed of three major fins of rock that run from the northeast closer to the mesa out to the southwest and into a desert valley. The fin are between 1,000 and 2,000 feet (610 m) long and separated from each other by about 1,000 feet (300 m). Each fin contains multiple towers a number of which have been named.

first real ride....



Went for my first real ride here in Moab today.....yeh....this blow washington out of the water!!



This is the part that I start getting giddy! The Cirque! Oh man, I knew it was going to be a good day on my bike....crisp...cool spring air. and all that Jazz....but nothing could have perpared me for the HUGE grin on my face as I rounded this corner...



I kept catching myself exclame things like "FUCK YEAH!" and then realizing I had just said that....out loud....really loud.....would bring on a giggle fit.....it was awesome...i love this place.




The rout was a steady roll until the 10% grade...then it was like a dirt bath down hill into Hunter Canyon......oh man....



The ride should have only take about 2.5 hours....but I was so distracted.....it's hard to look UP constantly and ride a bike on switchbacks safely. So it took about 3 hours instead....it was great....then I ended my day with a FAT buffalo burger with avocado....Ohhhh yeh

Dragons and Princess


"Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us act, just once, with beauty and courage. Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love."
— Rainer Maria Rilke

Monkey Junkie

Monkey getting cozy in her chair...week one


So sadily the little monkeys time to come to a new home has come, it's been 6 months that I have had the pleasure of watching her grow. But all good things must come to and end. A new chapter for Monkey and a new chapter for me.
I hope my little bitting fuzzy princess has fun terrorising someone else.



Now were not talking about just any kind of spoiled, this is a special kind of spoiled.....like she got grass fed free range ground beef with her dinner for the first 3 months. Then she got too big....and then we moved onto just reg ground beef.....3 meals a day with kibble. Above is her gnawing on a fresh leg bone.....yumm yummm monkey




I made her bed up and tucked her in at night in her kennel. Made sure I said good night and told her i loved her every night. and every morning as was our routine, she would attack me. It was great.
