More than a month ago, Jenn tagged me. I am lame, so I haven't been "it" yet. As we are leaving for our vacation soon, here it is, Rocky Mountain National Park edition:

My joys:

• My family (including everyone we'll be seeing soon...yay!)
• Sitting around the campfire under the stars with a beer in my hand
• Watching my children dance around in the dark with glow sticks

My fears:

• Large wildlife (this includes bears and mountain lions)
• Bubonic plague? (in Rocky Mtn Natl Park...what?!)
• Campground bathrooms

My goals:

• Patience
• Hiking Longs Peak (this is M1's plan...12 hours round trip? I'm not so sure)
• Leaving behind my worries of possibly carrying two mortgages soon

My current obsessions/collections:

• Yoga (this has no direct connection to the Rockies, but it would be pretty to cool to do Mountain pose at the top of a mountain!)
• Bubonic plague (obsessing, not collecting)
• Maps (park maps, campground maps...one has to know how to find the pit toilet in the dark!)

Random surprising facts about me:

• My ability to obsess over worst-case scenarios: bear attack, mountain lion attack, fleas carrying plague, thunderstorms above tree line, below freezing nighttime temps, full campgrounds (you get the picture)
• I still love sleeping in a tent and living outdoors
• Nature is the place that can most easily convince me of the possibility of a greater power

Of course, it's hard to narrow these categories down to three answers each! Also, I don't know enough bloggers to tag anyone. I can't just tag you back, Jenn! So if anyone reads this and wants to think about these things, cool. If not, that's cool, too.
