I’ve spent the last two minutes trying to think of a clever title to illustrate the whirly haze I’ve been caught in for the last two months, but came up empty-handed. So I went with the most benign date description I could think of and now, when I stop to think about it, it couldn’t be more appropriate.
And so we’re off. “What have I been up to?”
Learning to snowboard in January with girlfriends, adhering to a Vegan diet (60 days), throwing a Bridal shower for Misha, attending her Bachelorette party, successfully losing 3 inches/15 pounds to fit in my bridesmaid dress, witnessing Misha marry Jon and then sailing off with family and friends into the sunset, getting my town home rented for the next year, working 10-hour days to stay ahead of the curve at work, playing host to several overnight guests, attending a few happy hours and celebrations here and there with loved ones, and posting 1000 photos of all the activities for you lovelies to enjoy.
I know most of you are super busy and have demanding jobs, so I know you feel my pain. I knew on Day 1 of 2010 that I was in for a rocky, down-hill at warp-speed quarter. I kept telling myself, if I can just keep my feet underneath me, and my eyes on the finish line, I may just pull this off. I know I have 22 days left in the quarter but the major checkpoints are behind me. (Maybe not… I have to fit a trip to B/CS, baby shower in Dallas, girl’s weekend at my place, and a surprise birthday party in. eeek!!)
People keep asking me if I’m dating anyone. My response: “No, and I like it that way for now!”
Because seriously, where in my schedule (if you can even call it that) would I fit in movies, dinner, and hours of overanalyzation of the developing (or not) relationship, not to mention the time to actually locate a single man?!
To appease you people that are so worried about my lovelife, and rectifying the lack thereof, Jen will officially begin taking suggestions of places, people and activities through which to determine my next disaster… I mean, date… (That’s a whole other blog…) I’ll accept via email or posting. Now, stop asking!!!
Here are a few more of the little gems bouncing around in my mind. I’ll leave you with this for the day, as I prepare for Day#69, Hump Day!
*The last 3 trips to the grocery store, I kept thinking I was out of conditioner. I now have 4 bottles of conditioner but have no shampoo. If it weren’t for those 35 mini-bottles of hotel shampoo, I don’t know what I’d do. (Obviously, I’m too lazy to make a trip to CVS or H.E.B. solely for champu) So if you’ve noticed my hair looks crappier than usual, you know the reason now!
*Fun activity: Go through your pantry/fridge specifically to identify the things that have been there so long, you don’t know exactly when you bought them. Then decide how hungry you’d have to be before you’d be willing to consume them. (Or how many days post-hurricane, no electricity.) And then, leave in the pantry/fridge for that exact situation to occur because honestly, you just never know…
*”In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.” -Buddha I absolutely agree. Fun activity: point that out to the next person that gets angry with you, and suggest that be less selfish!
