Savoring the Summer

I walked outside this morning on my way to work and I could see my breath. I felt extremely disappointed. Here it is, September 13 and I can already feel winter approaching. This is why we need to soak every ounce of sun, warmth and activity dealing with summer if at all possible. I do love winter and fall, but I am truely not ready for the long, long months of winter. I prefer to live where I don't freeze every single extremity of my body.

Speaking of weather and seasons, next spring I am planning on making a monumental trip in my life. I am planning on traveling cross-country (funds allowing) to the west coast and down through the south and then back to Kalamazoo. This trip will be a combination of soul-searching and welcoming of my friends to travel with and stay with me along my journey. I am looking to save at least a couple grand to support this trip and hope that I can do it. To save money, I am thinking about staying with some of my friends as I travel on this trip. I know people sprinkled throughout the country who would be more than happy to house me for a few days while I make this journey. Whether or not this trip will happen remains to be seen, but all signs point to me making this trip, whether it's for 4 days, or 24.

I didn't think it was possible to hurt yourself playing wii, but I just did trying to smack imaginary homeruns off an imaginary computer character. Oh well... Wish I could bowl a 300 in real life... or 200 for that matter.
