Fall . . . And Other Random Thoughts.

I love Fall. Even though it's the season that leads to 8 months (or more) of ice and sub-zero temperatures, I still love it. It's so beautiful! There is nothing better than the snow-capped mountains in the background and fall-colored hills in the foreground. I feel really blessed to have grown up in this beautiful valley. Here is a random picture I took (with a cellphone . . . from a boat - so don't judge it too harshly). It was taken at Palisades Lake. I love, love, LOVE the colors!

Unfortunately, that will all be covered by snow soon. *sigh*. Snow isn't THAT bad. It's just the cold and ice that I can't bring myself to love. But . . . I suppose many people feel that way.

Speaking of snow, I really think I need to hit Targhee this year. It's been years, and I mean YEARS, since I've been skiing/snowboarding. (Can't lie . . . I prefer skiing.) I even worked at Targhee right before I got married and I didn't ski one single time. I could have . . . for free . . . but I didn't. Ugh. Hopefully this year I can find the time (and money) to get up there! Now all I need is someone to go with me. Who's in?!

Speaking of being married . . . (this is totally random, but) the other day I totally missed being married - which is odd since I can't really remember what it was like being married. Something about the change in the weather sparked some vague emotional memory, and it made me miss cooking dinner for my husband. (Which is also odd since cooking isn't really something I typically enjoy. I guess that comes from spending so long eating as a "raw vegan".) It's crazy to think that I haven't heard from my ex-husband in over a year. I don't think about it that often, if I'm being honest, but every once in awhile (like right now) I do wonder how he is. I really hope that he's well and happy. That only seems fair since I am both of those things now.

Well, this post started as one thing and ended as something totally different. That's the way it goes, I suppose. OH! Psych is on! I'm out! (PS, if you have never watched Psych . . . you need to fix that asap. James Roday? Yeah . . . so cute!)

Halloween Photos

So - Originally I started this whole blogging thing for random reasons that no longer have anything to do with anything, and I kinda figured I wouldn't keep it going for long. But - I've changed my mind. I think I will keep blogging. What the heck!

So, I just wanted to say thank-you to all of you who have let me trick out your photos Halloween style. It's been a blast! I'm still taking requests if any one else decides they want one. ;) Here are some examples of how awesome they are!

Here are two of the ones I did for myself:

Annnnnd this one of my beautiful friend Miriam:

This one of my beautiful friend Tasha (BTW, if any of you object to me putting these on my blog, just tell me and I'll remove them.)



My sexy friend Daniel:

Or this one of my sister, which is a little more creepy:

I think you guys are getting the drift. Seriously - if you want one done, hit me up on facebook. Just search for Cortney Durbin and email me a request. :)

Isn't October the BEST! I <3 Fall (and Halloween). Haha.
