Found Objects

Life is one beautiful trip

Yeah, I know I've changed the layout already. What do you think? Cleaner? Less distracting? Or shockingly plain for me?

I feel like I just got back from the farthest reaches of Mongolia. I've been on a search for the camping gear – in the garage – in the attic. Sweltering temperatures. Precariously placed, overpacked boxes, teetering on six foot tall stacks. Success! The expedition has turned up three sleeping bags, the tent, a Jet Boil, and several back packs. Now, I just need to learn how to use the Jet Boil and how to set up the tent. Plus, air out the sleeping bags and figure out for which temps they are suitable. 


Now, what do I do with all this?

I do tend to live in Happy Maggie Land. Having never camped, or had any interest in it at all until this trip idea popped into my head, I've developed some rather Polyanna fantasies about how great the whole experience is going to be. 



I will wake up to beautiful sunrises with my pup by my side.

My friends will join me for baguettes and wine.




I will travel in eclectic style.


from Mara Hoffman

Maybe embellish my tent a bit.




Make new friends.

I've started trippin' and I haven't even left home yet.
