Well, it's been awhile. But I've been busy.
1. I went to opening day (yes, baseball). I've been to 4 Royals game with two more planned on Saturday & Tuesday. One of which was in the Royals suites (thanks J!) which was fantastic. How can you not love being at the ballpark on beautiful day?
2. J & I went to Colorado May 16-20. Also fantastic. Mountains (I went to the top of Pike's Peak), amazing food (macaroni! alaskan reindeer hot dogs! elk jalapeno sausage! fried chicken! more macaroni!) , AND SO MUCH BEER. Seriously, there are more craft breweries in Colorado than anywhere else in the US. I posted 236 pictures to Facebook. I had an f'ing amazing time.
3. I met Jim Gaffigan, Cheryl Strayed, & Jenny Lawson (The Bloggess) and had them sign my copies of their books. I am a total fan girl and cannot form words when meeting authors. Besides me being a major dork, it was pretty cool.
4. Speaking of books, I compiled my list of summer reading: Dad is Fat, Waiting to be Heard, The Kite Runner, Jeneration X, I Can Barely Take Care of Myself, Gone Girl, & How to be a Woman are on the list. I also have Barred to You & Torch on my audiobook list.
5. My 26th birthday was a blast and even though I still can't drink tequila (well thanks to that and cinco de mayo), it was a wonderful time. I am super grateful to have amazing friends & family that celebrated with me. Both J & my mom gave me electric toothbrushes so I'll take that as a hint and I guess that's what being 26 is all about.
6. The weather is FINALLY warming up. In December I went to a Chiefs game and it was 75 degrees and I wore a tshirt. The first week of May it was 30 degrees and we got 2 inches of snow. WTF is that about right? I seriously can barely function in the snow so I've had about zero motivation to do anything but sit inside in my snuggie watching the West Wing eating cheese for the past 4 months.
7. On Friday I celebrated (?) 3 years at my current job. It's been a rollercoaster.
8. I'm really trying to get my shit together.
