Check....Check...Is This Thing On?

It's been a week since I've posted, but it seems so much longer than that. I guess I just haven't had school work to avoid. :) No really, I just haven't had much to say to be honest. I don't want to get in the habit of not writing because I believe it is really healthy...especially during this weird transition time. And just because I like I feeling some connection with you lovelies all over the country. (Can't we just form a commune and all live together?) I'll be in charge of the neighborhood pot luck suppers.) So get ready for some rambling randomness. I'll put it in list form to at least give the appearance of order.

1. We are half way through the second month of the year, which means I'm half way through my second resolution of the year. As you know, January was 'no sweets'. I made it all the way through without any mulligans, which is impressive for someone who tends to follow the same diet as Buddy the Elf. Now, February for me has been 'daily flossing'. Yes, I know....most people count this as a daily routine already as responsible adults, but really it isn't something I've been diligent on. So now, a little over half way through I've only missed 3 times. I don't even half mind it as I used to. So there! I need to figure out what March will be since 3/1/2011 is closing in quickly.

2. In my job hunt I came across this website. Subpoint #1 -- Bummer that they aren't hiring. Don't you think I'd be the perfect person for the Sharpie team?? They do have an office in Atlanta, so I'll have to keep checking back. Subpoint #2 -- I can't help but think of Shelby when I see the Special Edition 80's Glam colors. Scroll across each color for the name. I know you didn't actually banana clips or jellies in college, but I will for always and ever associate the decade of my birth with you, Shelby dearest. That and Wheat Thins. And Celine Dion. Oh--and if I was forced to choose a favorite 80's Glam permanent writing utensil, I'd go for the Arrrrrrrrgyle Green (hand over my heart for Candoo's hometown).

3. This Thursday morning I take off for Colorado...and boy-oh-boy am I so excited. Honestly, it'll be really nice to get out of town and away from my daily norm. It'll be exhilarating to be with Streckers party of 4, Hayes party of 2, Muniak party of 1, and an extra Cleaver for good luck. We were all together this past August for Shelby's wedding and there are no words to describe the hysterics those 3 super busy days held. It'll be nice to all be together with no set plans but fun, food and some skiing. It's been over a year since I've been skiing so I can't wait to click in and hit the slopes. Praying for nice days and no snow, since I'm kind a wimp in the elements. Also praying for no altitude issues since I've been known to be a barfer.....on more than one occasion. Sad, but true. All that to say, this trip couldn't come at a better time and I'm already dreading the good-byes comes Monday afternoon.

OK, I could keep going but the day is going to get away from me and I need to get some job-hunting in before meeting up with Julie and meeting new baby Madelyn for some queso and margarita's.

Love you more than the smell of bacon frying in the morning.
