One of Those

Today is one of those days.

I am bored to the rafters.  I want to dance.  I want to play guitar.  I want to dance.  I want to laugh a lot.

I have an excel assignment left to do.  That's it.  My friends are either occupado or don't want to dance.

What's a girl to do?

I suppose I can blog a bit more about Moab.

First off, I have to thank the family I stayed with (exact names not mentioned to protect the innocent) because they were the most supreme hosts I have ever experienced!  There was always food, even when you had just eaten.  There were games, movies, activities...but they left me alone when I fell asleep on accident and let me sleep in! It was the most wonderful vacation ever!

The arches were probably my favorite part (except everything was probably my favorite part).  I LOVED the hike to the Delicate Arch.  I knew Moab was red, but on that hike, I saw green, blue, and purple with the red!  There were so many colors, and I absolutely love colors, so the colorful outdoors was the perfect place for me to hike.  Plus we had a picnic by Delicate Arch, and it wasn't crowded in the least bit.

And the Double Arch was the COOLEST arch EVER! I loved being under there and climbing up it.  It was so awesome that I recommend it to everyone who is or wants to be AWESOME.  The whole Archlands was great, but that was my favorite hike and favorite arch.

We also walked the shops in town, and there is some neat stuff in Moab, like the T-shirt shop where you pick a shirt, pick a decal, and they put the decal on the shirt right in front of you on a machine that's akin to a giant panini grill.  Actually, I would like to try to make a giant panini in one.  And there was a store with about 5000 HATS that I absolutely ADORED and when I have lots of money to spare, I'm going back there.

And the girls I visited ran a half-marathon.  They were pretty much running for two hours...I can't even run for two minutes. I felt very impressed being at a park packed full of people who were in such better shape than I am.  It made me want to attempt 5 mile race, but then I decided I'd rather dance for two hours than run for 5 miles.

Also, I went to my first REAL and LARGE bonfire!  It was out on the sand dunes, and we had hot dogs, and hot faces (because the fire was hot), and the stars were bright and clear, or as clear as my vision would allow them to be, and I met some new people, and...it was way fun!  Also, some drunk kids ran into the biggest ditch/fault I've ever seen someone run into.  That truck was wedged in that fault pretty good, and I'm pretty sure they did some damage towing it out.  I don't know how the frame could survive being pulled out from that angle.

And I played with buttons with a little girl who was so cute and I miss her little voice and footsteps as she wandered around the house.

I love to dance too! Does not mean that I'm good at it. I know the bored feeling way too well. I've been dying of the monotony of my life lately. It's my dearest wish that something exciting happens to me! But your trip sounds like it was just a blast! How fun! :)
