Women?!

I'm going to start off by apologizing now, that I don't have any pictures to go along with this post, and this post is more for my venting needs, rather than your reading pleasure - I'm sure. But isn't blogging just online journaling?!
The last few days I've been struggling with a range of emotions and I'm having the hardest time sorting out why I've been feeling the way I have. Part of me wants to blame the time I enjoyed off work up in Island Park then going back to a slow week at work, where I just watched the clock. I also want to blame Breaking Dawn for being such a crazy book - I've been having a hard time really enjoying it do to certain events that have happened, that I will not go into- plus I hate feeling emotionally invested in a book. And I also want to blame lack of sleep - I just can't help but want to watch the Olympics all night. Then there is just the every day things that can get to you.... Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Can anyone relate?
Well, on Saturday Lamont and I went hiking, yes! I went hiking for all those in shock, and it was just what I needed. I was sort of not excited about going, I was in a downer mood and immediately Lamont helped change my mood. He doesn't have to do much - he exudes a certain energy that you can't help but be happy around him. As we were driving up I made a comment like "I hate that I cannot be upset around you." His response was something to the effect - 'why do you want to be upset or irritated?' Does anyone else ever just want to be mad or sad or upset? Sometimes I just want to sulk! Lamont just looked puzzled, probably thinking women?! what's the deal with them - but he just smiled and said - I'm sorry if I put you in a better mood and make you happy.... And it turned out to be such a fun day. We hiked up to Marys Lake and then just sat down by the lake for probably 20 mins - barely speaking - just thinking and reflecting. It was so pretty and I went to takes some pictures, but the batteries were dead, and of course, I didn't have spares. But still, being up there was just what I needed, to put myself in check. And when I came home I saw a fortune that I had saved in my room that says "Put up with small annoyances to gain great rewards" How true that is.... How often do we get down on ourselves and others for things that really don't matter in the big picture.
So this is my goal: to put up with small annoyances to gain great rewards.

First of all what a great fortune! But I know what you mean about wanting to be in a bad mood sometimes. So what's going on with Lamont?
