Piece of cake

There she is, my dream. The highest summit on earth, Mount Everest, standing at 29,029 ft.

Yesterday morning at 6:20 am when I went out to my car to leave for work, my car read -4 degrees. I couldn't even breathe in without coughing, the air was SO painfully cold. I got in my car and started it; heat on full force, rear defroster on, heat seaters on high. Then I realized....if I'm going to climb Everest some day, I gotta toughen up. I grabbed my ice scraper and got out of my car and stood outside and MADE myself stay out there.

OK, it was probably an entire three minutes that I was out there.

And I must confess......I'm just not cut out for it. I couldn't feel my hands, and I couldn't move them. Could be due to the fact that I was wearing leather designer gloves, not nice warm mittens that normal people wear on below zero days. LOL I also lacked a hat, scarf, and had earrings in that were conducting the cold through my whole ears. But anyway.

Who am I kidding. I hate anything under 70 degrees.

However, some day......I WILL make it to ABC (advanced base camp) at 21,300 ft SOME DAY. And most likely, I will be using O's, even at ABC. :-/

It's on my goal list of things to do before I die.

Right next to going into an expensive furniture shop with take-out food, sitting down on their most expensive table, lighting the candles they have as the set up, and start eating dinner with whoever it is that is brave enough to do this with me.

Right next to taking a pottery class and walking in with an 80's boom box, blasting Unchained Melodies as I sit down at the wheel.

Yup......I aim high my friends, I aim high.
