OH-IO

Sorry I haven't updated sooner, I was in Ohio. Lets recap shall we?

Wednesday-
I was at the airport for over 7 hours thank you snow delay. Fortunately I made a buddy at the airport and we hung out playing cards. I made it to my brother's apartment a little before 4:00am. Not so fun.

Thursday-
My mom and I went to South Park mall. Hard to beleive I haven't been there in 2 years! It was nice to walk around and just see everything. That night Dan and I went to IMPROV in Cleveland to meet up with Adam. The guy who made the "We aren't Detroit" video performed. Not that funny, but good to see downtown. After Dan and I went to Applebees with Casey and just all caught up. Lots of good times with that group.

Friday-
Jeremy and I went shopping then met up with Cindy and a winery. From there we went to Swensens. YUMMM :). At that point Cindy and I went to her aunts so she can read our tea leaves. Mine was a king poodle. Not sure what to make of that yet. Then we headed back to Cindy's and Dennis came over. He was awesome and drove me all the way back to Brunswick.

Saturday-
Christmas Eve! My mom and I went grocery shopping then headed to my Grandma's house. It was really great to see everyone! White Elephant was great at always, just all around where I wanted to be.

Sunday-
Christmas. This is actually my least favorite day of the trip. Ryan and I got into a fight--just all around stressful. That evening Diana and I went to see New Years Eve. Awful movie, but I'm glad I got to see her.

Monday-
I went to lunch with Jess and Adam. They are adorable together. I'm more excited than ever to be a part of their wedding! Super cute wedding. Mom and I went shopping. Other than that I just hung out w/ her and Ryan. That night we made it to the airport and I made it back to Denver. Carly was nice enough to pick me up.

It was a great visit. I loved seeing everyone and touching base. It did feel really good to get back to Denver. Home sweet home :)

West Side Story

The real truth is, I probably don't want to be too happy or content. Because, then what? I actually like the quest, the search. That's the fun. The more lost you are, the more you have to look forward to. What do you know? I'm having a great time and I don't even know it.
-Ally McBeal

Thank you NetFlicks for reintroducing me to Ally McBeal. I LOVE it. I didn't appreciate it in 1997 because that was 13 years ago. Now I see it in a whole new light.  

This past week was a whirlwind. I won tickets to a VIP showing of West Side Story. I took Carly with me. There was a dinner and open bar followed by seats 7 rows from center stage. It was awesome! We got to get all dressed up and just had a great night. Kirk, Gina, Brigham, Jen and Dan were also there. Just a really cool night. On Saturday I had to work for a couple of hours then I went shopping and bought my first Tebow shirt. That afternoon Monika texted me asking if I wanted her tickets to Tom Sawyer (another play). I couldn't pass that up so me and Aaron went. The show was adorable, very fun watch. After we headed to Sams #3 then met up with Gabriel and Christian for drinks. Today my Broncos are playing, and I'm stuck doing a homework assignment I don't understand. Fuh eh? 


I'm going to be in Ohio in 3 days. Just throwing that out there. I should pack or something. Really I just want to watch Ally McBeal.

Apples to Apples

Yay for a good weekend! Friday after work Carly, Ryan and I went to Chillis for a couple drinks. Then I came home and tried to catch up on chores or homework. Neither happened. Saturday Carly, Jen and I spent the day in Boulder. We were shopping on Pearl St. and just having a girl day. From there we went to Eric's Christmas party. It was a nice evening for sure. After the party Carly, Brad, Kenyon and I went to James's house to play Apples to Apples until oh, 3:00am. Sunday I went to Pink Berry with Ashley, Sloan, Louissa and Tessa. Tessa is engaged! CONGRATS! I made it home just in time to see the Broncos win AGAIN :)! I attempted to pretend I wanted to do homework then went to Kenyon's to watch Star Wars. The second one is a lot better than the first one. When I got home I actually did do homework...sorta like I am now. Sorta. Fear Factor is on, so I'm more than excited!!!

Whoa even typing what I did this weekend is a lot. I'm not gonna lie I love being busy. It's going to be strange not having grad school for two weeks, and being in Ohio in a little more than a week. It doesn't seem real. Must stop procrastinating and finish homework. Have a good night!

Oh this is worth a look:

Seriously, this would be funny if it wasn't real. Guys: This is why girls refer to some of you as creepers.

let's get crazy


Let's get crazy,
Talk about our big plans
Places that you're going
Places that I haven't been
Build my walls up
Concrete castle
Keep this kingdom free of hassle, yeah

When I am interested in a guy and he moves too fast I will immediately be turned off. No questions asked. If I like a guy and he moves too slow I will become bored and move on. There is a window of opportunity where it has a chance to move forward. Some people judge based on a first date, nope I judge on if they make a move in that window of time. If they don't are they really worth my time? My answer is no.

I've always wondered how divorced people adjust to not having the other person with them at big events. By getting married you're promising to be there for each others big events for forever. I don't know how every time they go somewhere they don't think that whoever their ex spouse is should be there too. I think that would be the part that hurts long after the initial pain. Of course, I haven't been married or divorced so I'm not sure. I have been hurt though, and sometimes I think that about you. I go somewhere and think you should be there too. I know with more and more time that will pass-we didn't promise forever.

I have a perpetual feeling of nervousness, when I have nothing to be nervous about. Thus, I feel sick and on edge. I think I have a hunch where it is coming from, but I don't know how to make it stop. I keep trying to convince myself that it isn't anything, but I think until that's proven the feeling will stay. Urg. 

I need to go to bed.

Is it Friday yet?

A penguin Tebows

Prepare yourselves: I said no to Jackson's. I know right? I had other plans.

Yesterday after work I went to Celtic Tavern with Carly. Let me just say I love that place for happy hour. It was like a small winter cottage. Food wasn't very good, but atmosphere was. After a little while James, Kenny, and Craig met up with us. From there we went on to find everyone else. They were across the street from Maloney's. We were all supposed to go to the parade, but the large majority complained it was too cold. So it ended up being only four of us going to the parade.

The parade was pretty cool, by Denver standards. It probably helps that this year I was actually able to see it:) AND get this! I made a penguin Tebow!! Proud night accomplishment. Kenny quickly realized it was freezing...it took me a little longer. We ended up leaving and headed to Noodles. Carly called us later so we went and met up with her and James at Sam's for a while--any place was better than the cold.

Today I woke up to snow falling. I am watching Netflicks and eating lunch. Will start homework soon (maybe), and looking forward to later. Have a good weekend everybody!
