i thought i'd be really homesick and miss my friends and family terribly. but honestly, it feels a lot like when we lived in pleasanton. after we moved out there, it felt like i saw my friends less, and felt really isolated from everyone. afterall, we were kinda living in booneville. well, close to it. if it weren't for all the snow (which has pretty much melted already), i wouldn't even know i was in colorado! haha...

i have yet to feel any altitude sickness. i've heard it effects some more than others. i try to keep myself hydrated, cuz i think that's the biggest culprit. i have noticed that my skin is much dryer, so i'm going thru a ton of lotion and moisturizer!

i'm planning to make cookies tonight. i got the recipe from the newspaper, which so conveniently included high altitude directions. we'll see how it goes! oh, and i'm also making cornbread to go with the chili i'm making for dinner...hopefully i don't end up with corn mush.
