Hey guys! Yeah im back from what seems like forever of vacancy from this site. I went camping for 5 days in Colorado up by Boulder. There were 4 of us and we took 2 cars, one of them being mine. I got some stories for you all and I'm writing a lot to make up for what I have missed out!! Mkay, first on the list: Camping.

We left early Friday morning at the crack of dawn. I drove with Mitch and then it was Niki and Mary in Nikis car. We get to our first destination before hitting up the mountains at our camping site. Talked with the owner of where we are staying because it is on private land. We headed up there and it was just about to be Twilight as we started to set up. Alright, day 1 done/wasted. .

Saturday rolls around and since I'm the driver because I'm the driver, I ask them what we were doing because I needed a destination. Silence. I start bitching because I really want to know what was the plan for the day because I'm just that kind of person. Well I went with the wrong people because I got a lot of "Workman, we are camping, there are no plans." v.v So I kept my head down and dealt with my frustration privately. We get in the car after breakfast and I ask again what we were doing that day. Silence again I noticed that it was getting cloudy and that we might be hitting some nasty weather. Did anyone bother to look up the weather and make PLANS in case it rains? Of course not. So I was just like eff it and I just drove, turned out to be an okay day because we drove about two hours into the mountains and got some really great shots. Kind of wasted because it was boring, raining, cloudy and it just turned out to be a day of driving and dinking around and not being able to see the mountains because of the horrible weather. Day 2 wasted.

Sunday rolls around. I thought, alright this might turn out to be a good day because of the nice weather. We all pile in my car again and Niki really wanted to go hiking this trip so we all came prepared for the occasion. Did we know where? No. Eff it, why go on a trip and want to do something and not make plans right? Again, I ask the question "what's the plan for today" and again I get ripped out because I want there to be at least some structure to this trip. So no one wanted their in-put to be heard because no one cared what we did, I was stuck driving so I was the only one that cared what we did. So, I started to head back the way we went the previous day because we had the option to go to Estes Park or the Rocky Mountain National Forest. I chose Rocky Mountain National Forest and it was free! FREEE!!! FREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! The president decided to have the park open for free 3 weekends, once in June, July, and August. (3rd weekend of each) so we got lucky because we all are poor college friends. So, we finally decided on going hiking. We settled on deer mountain because it was ONLY 3 miles. 3 miles right? I mean, we can handle that right? PSSh. We put on our packs and hiking sticks and started the climb to the summit UPHILL. Omg! That was probably the most exercise that I have ever had ever. About 3/4 up the mountain 2 of us wanted to go back because they were tired. Um HELLO?! I'm the most out of shape one (well, if you count round as a shape ) in this small group, border lining OBEESSE but I dragged my sorry ass up all the way to the summit. I have never felt so good about saying that I have climbed a mountain to 11,000 feet and I am really proud of myself and I would definitely do it again. At least now I have an ass, thighs, and calves of steel. But it turned out to be the most productive day because I was in charge and I knew what I wanted to do. Finally! Good thing about it, everyone else was happy too. Okay so after this climb we drive back down to this little expensive restaurant (just because they can) that is nestled in Estes(? The town Estes) It is nestled in between Estes and Rocky. I am craving MEAT so I got a burger. 9.50 I thought "alright, not that bad" until I saw the "Add a side for 2.75" O.O A burger and fries. So, I was like "Whatever, I'm ravenous because I just hauled my ass up a damn mountain, whatever just get me food" I get it and I literally get 3 fries. That's it. I was ticked and it wasn't even that good. But the restaurant did that "Just because they can". UGH Day 3 - moderately well.

Monday I wake up and ask again "what are the plans" and again I get ripped out. Well, while I went to bed early the previous night (because I drove/hiked all day while the rest got to nap in the car) they decided to go back into town so that we don't have to leave from the mountains and then spend the night at the home of the owners cabin. v.v Thanks for telling me guys so that we can all be in agreeance. Again, another day wasted because we packed up in the morning, drove to some town that someone wanted to check out but it turned out to be all casinos (yay! but I'm not 21 yet) so we couldn't do anything and on our way to Red Rock Amphitheater Niki's car wouldn't go up the damn hills. Sweet. Car trouble. So, we turned back down the hill and drove into town and all of us took showers! YAY! but then woke up early the next morning and drove again 9 hours to home.

All in all, vacation wasted. At least what I felt like. Think I'm in the wrong for having a bad attitude due to the lack of communication?



Story 2: My co-worker at my Vet Hospital got fired!! YEAH!! She was hired shortly after I was and I trained her (go figure) and she got fired! MORE HOURS FOR MEH!! Still there is a lot of bad-talking going on at work, a lot towards me because I went on vacation. IM PART TIME for crying out-loud. I'm not a manager. I'm not the owner. I'm not even full time, so if I want to take some vacation it shouldn't be a big deal, but I guess it is. *sigh*



Alright, I'm done. Comment please! (If you made it all the way through xD)
