New Toys! and things I will miss..

I got my ice axe last week and oh is it ever sexy! My crampons (Kahtoola Microspikes) just came in today, have to pick them up from REI. As excited as I am about them, there's no way I will go to a store until after Xmas. Not only would I have to deal with the craziness in the parking lot, but I also have to drive by an already very busy LA International Airport...no thanx! I'll wait!

I was doing some training the other day and while hiking, I thought about the things I would miss ever so much while on the trail for five months:

My comfy bed at night
my kitty, Pheebs
looong hot showers
my friends
hanging out with Mary Thursday nights watching Grey's Anatomy with wine in hand
walks on the beach at sunset
watching the dolphin surf the waves in the morning
real food and fresh brewed coffee everyday

Would you expect me to give you a non-sexy toy? ; ) Have fun with it, and learn how to use it. It can save your life. Merry Christmas.
