The last 6 months have found me in a variety of places.  Good thing I believe my dominant familial gene is Hungarian Gypsy otherwise this might be very unsettling to me (whether this is true or not I do not know but I like to believe this as it makes me feel "exotic" and explains my lust for travel and new experiences).  Many times I wake up wondering "where am I?"  and  "which way do I turn to the bathroom?" in the middle of the night.   I have bashed into more than one wall thinking I should turn left, as opposed to right...good thing I have already broken my nose once so I haven't disfugured anything.

I haven't wondered to much the last couple of days as I know where I am...waking up...gasping for air....8000 ft above sea level....at Mountain House.  Hello, where is the oxygen????

The pooches and I arrived back in Colorado Friday afternoon after an un-eventful 1200 mile drive from Coldwater Michigan where we spent the Christmas holiday with my awesome family.  We made our way up the mountain to find the drive way open thanks to the plow guy.  Unfortunately the plow guy did not shovel a path to the door, which I did upon arrival. And here we are....saying BRRR....gasping for oxygen.....

Tomorrow is the end of 2007, a tumutltious, yet blessed year to be sure.  Nothing serious like a health crisis (thank you GOD!), but lots of changes to be sure.  Maybe I'll write about those soon.   We'll see.  If I can get some oxygen. 

 As a side note I must say that my Nissan Murano is the most amazing vehichle to drive across country, or bounce across a private dirt road and long driveway riddled with potholes and snow drifts.  The drive was no where near as bad as I expected, and I give credit to the Murano, a gorgeous yet totally practical vehicle....my only BIG COMPLAINT is that I cannot get studded snow tires for the vehicle...apparently the designers at Nissan pretended that the Murano is only is a sport vehicle, not a sport UTILITY vehicle. which some people, like me, is an important feature.....and we might like that option...DUH!!!
