Don't just sit there....

Again, I will start with apologies about having been so long. Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in my life. Last weekend I went up north to see some awesome friends. Friday night I got to Nicki's after taking off directly after work. I missed her little sex toy party (aw shucks), but we went out to Lakeside, one of my favorite haunts in Menomonie. We had a great time, drank a few beers, had a lot of laughs, the usual.

The next morning is when the true coordination began. First we woke up (duh) and went to Woodville to see Sarah, Kelly, and Emma. We stopped at this new bakery in Menomonie called "Cravings" for something to bring, and were on the road. A shy 20 minutes later, we were there! Sarah's new "twin home" is adorable, and it was great seeing everyone. Emma is adorable, Kelly is great, Sarah is Sarah is Sarah (which I love), and the maple syrup was room temperature, the way it should be :)

After Sarah's we took off for Menomonie, to switch vehicles, and then run to get Nicki's girls before the game. We headed to Durand and got Amelia. It was nice seeing Durand again, but always brings back such odd feelings for me. We drove past my parents house, and I'm so glad I wasn't alone because I would have been a mess. There are two trees and two bushes missing (my dad would be pissed! no-just kidding), but otherwise, it looks the same. After that we went to Ella to get Alexis and then headed home in time for the game.

Jenny and Ani arrived right before kickoff, and it was great seeing them. Mikey arrived shortly thereafter, along with a few of Nicki and Jay's friends. The game was great, the company was fantastic, and the taco dip was flowing like wine. Jenny tried to put Ani down so she could stay a little longer, but that was a no go. So, the four of us (Nicki, Jay, Mikey, and I) played some Wii and I fell asleep by 9:30. Oops! I woke up at 10:30 to get back to bed by 11:30. I'm seriously getting old.

The next morning was a quick breakfast, more syrup at room temperate, and a quick getaway. I was on the road by 11:30 (okay, 11:50) and home by 3:00. Let's do the math-I drove way tooooooooo fast. But, I made it home, none the poorer.

But, I would like to make a quick mention of my quote. I finally read it, and finally realized it's true. The thing is, I only make professional goals, never personal ones. Why? I always reach (or surpass) my professional goals, am I that afraid of failing myself personally? Am I afraid of being happy? What is it? While I know what I want long term, I guess I don't know what I want for myself in the present and the steps I should be taking to get myself there. This is what I will be thinking about for the next few weeks, as a heads up. So, if you want some deep conversation about life and goals and all that, hit me up. But, you will probably just get a quasi-deep, superficial conversation and a few laughs, so don't be surprised :)

Also, I love cribbage. I play it whenever I can. I'm obsessed. I should join a club. Or a support group, I'm not sure which one.

All right peeps, that's it for now. Talk to you soon!
