Here I am, sitting in my new apartment, and its so great.  Not a single box is completely unpacked, and there aren't even sheets on my bed; but it's awesome.  Yesterday was one of the most random, great days ever.  Jordan and I went out w/the JH crew all day on Tara & Steve's boat, and it was pretty flippin sweet.  Now its time to buck up, finish ( Read more... )

Today I ...

... nearly got sideswiped by an idiot truck trying to switch lanes, without signaling, in the middle of an intersection, while I was driving up in the left lane beside them on the way to work this morning.

... got hit hard with a major project at work, leaving me a slightly frustrated.

This past weekend Jordan and I traveled to Chicago to see his brother Justin, and sister-in-law, Ayame.  It was really great to see them, and we ended up doing all kinds of fun stuff.  On Friday we spent the day at Six Flags (We rode The Superman twice!!! Its my favorite, it was awesome.). Then on Saturday we went to Taste of Chicago, which was ( Read more... )

Tonight we played a double-header for softball.  Which was completely awesome, and aweful at the same time.

It was awesome because ...

1. It was playing softball, and softball is awesome. Sweet!
2. Jordan and Aurora came to watch, which was really nice of them!

It was aweful because ...

1. We kinda suck. (Although we showed much improvement tonight! Go ( Read more... )

If only this were on prime time television ...

The last 2 nights I've had some very strange dreams ...

Tuesday night, I dreamt I was driving in my truck with Kat, on Dubuque St, past Mayflower.  It was pouring rain, and all of a sudden something ran out into the road, and I had to swerve to miss it.  Somehow by swerving, we ended up flying through the air, and landing up-side-down in the truck, ( Read more... )

Its been a crazy weekend!  With Kat gone, Courtney hardly here, and Jordan busy with triathlons, I spent a lot of time by myself this weekend.  On the one hand, it was nice to get some alone time in, but on the other hand ... it was the most boring thing ever!!!

The good news, is that I got a lot done.  AND, on Friday ... I kidnapped my dog!!! Lol, ( Read more... )

Tonight was girls night out at The Olive Garden!  The food was delicious (I ate way too much, but yum!); and the company was excellent and hilarious, as always.  After totally over-indulging ourselves at The OG, we made a quick stop at Hy Vee for alcohol, a random stop at Kp's lab so she could get our "presents" and then back to the apartment for ( Read more... )

While sitting on the couch with my computer, knitting, and researching dog breeds  ...

"Evaluate your activity level. Picture your idea of a fun time, and be sure that the right kind of dog fits within it. If you love to go hiking, a Yorkie's not gonna be able to keep up. If you like sitting and knitting, a Border Collie's going to make your life a ( Read more... )
