Burgers, Beer and a State of Fluxx

Current mood: content


Two days left until I play "California Girl" for two weeks and I cannot wait! I will miss some things, so I decided to list them as a reminder to myself:

1) Heather and Nick (even when Nick is blocking my path to work with his big-ass truck! Plus with Jennifer having the baby on Friday, I feel like I am missing so much.
2) My trivia buddies
3) Playing trivia (notice, I put my teammates before the actual game - does that mean I only go for my friends?). This includes arguing with Trivia Kelly as well.
4) My place (full control of the remote, a swimming pool right there and people jumping up and down on my ceiling...no wait...)

Anyway, I will have great fun (and will post pictures of the kids as soon as I have some) and I will miss all my friends (except the ones IN California, of course). I will do my best to Blog while I am out there.

So a weekend update - this was a fabulous weekend! My friend Deals had a barbecue and so we all sat outside, hung out, drank (those of us not counting caloric intake) and ate delicious burgers and hot dogs.

We had a lot of fun and the weather was absolutely perfect for it. We just chilled out and laughed and did our best to avoid the subject of work (half of us are at the same company) and then the dirty jokes and stories started and even a sailor would have been blushing! All-in-all, it was a great time for all!

As it started to get dark, the Fluxx cards were pulled out and we could barely keep track of whose turn it was and what the current rules were set to. We played it by ear and had a good laugh or two - after all, that's what really matters, right?

Some friends weren't able to make it (you know who you are) and you were missed. Next time - no excuses! Did I mention I brought two kinds of brownies?!?!

That's all I have for now. I'm just tired thinking about my 7am flight and my having to miss Trivia Tuesday night, but oh well - you take the good with the bad, I guess!

Two Months Later...

Current mood: excited

Wow - I suck! It has been two months since my last post and I swore I would do better this year! Time has been non-existant. When I have had the time, writing about myself has been the absolute LAST thing I would think about. So here I go again, trying to promise to do a better job!

So I am sticking to my "healthier" lifestyle and therefore my back is a lot better. I still have issues and pains, but I don't want to end it all just to get through it anymore. Most of the people I work with have been coming up to me and commenting on how great I look - which is really cool. Now, I just need to keep this up!

Work is good - in fact, they are sending me to California for 2 weeks to do some work in So and NoCal in our offices there. Very cool - especially if I get to see some of my friends. Plus, almost two weeks with the niece and nephew - very exciting! Plus my newphew will be 2 years old, and I will be there for it!

Otherwise, things are pretty tame. Nothing too exciting going on, but you should see a lot of posts while I am in Cali!
