my new plan....

So here's what I'm going to do.

I'm going to sell everything I own. Quit work. Turn the MINI in. Give my college loans to my parents (which I'm sure they'd so willingly take).

Then I'm just going to hike and live like a nomad. From mountain to mountain. Across the country. And never come home for like a year. My goal is to be INDOORS the least as possible.

I've never even been camping in my entire life. But I think I'm ready for this.

No commitments. Time doesn't matter. Doesn't matter if I smell and look dirty.

And in order for me to do this, that would be the size backpack I would need. Umm have any of ya's ever seen how I pack for just ONE NIGHT?? And I would also need a case or two of the ivy block. Which I would lather on every 5 minutes of the day (which I'm sure the chemical in that would kill me quicker then any mountain bear or coyote.)

The great part is, I already have one person who's in on this with me. My mom's wondering what happened to me. I'm honestly wondering what happened to me. City girl...used to HATE the outdoors and just craved the street life.....now, you can't get me inside. All I can say is, it's God!!

Now I'll admit. I'm still scared of bugs, snakes, wild animals, and bodies of water (don't ask). I recently saw a snake at my parent's house (my biggest fear EVER) and I screamed, hyperventilated, and had to sit down because I was shaking so much I almost passed out. And a few months ago on a trail hike I was like 10 feet away from a deer. I thought for sure it was going to kill me. Hello!! I have chihuahuas!!

But anyway. I'm totally ready for this. Right???

Sooo excited. Went to LL Bean today...bought all my new gear. Pictures to come of course! Bought the matching sports fleece to match my boots. And lots of other stuff.

Cate.....Sunday is all about the challenge. None of this leisure crap. :)

And yes, if you're wondering, I'm OFF the hydrocodones, I have not lost my mind.

Good night, I gotta get up for WOW (woman of worth) tomorrow morning...YAY!!
