I wish I had an excuse like I was on maternity leave (well besides the having a baby part)…to explain why I haven’t written in months! Writing is one of my fave things, but I’ve been such a stressed out busy psycho that I haven’t taken the time or felt like I’ve had the time…I suck!
BUT I’m back. Thank God. So many rants and raves just held in!! Hmm… let’s start with my top 10 most interesting/fun/lessons learned/things to remember about this summer:
10. Turned 27! Crazy. Getting up there.
9. Ran my first marathon & qualified for Boston. Huge props to the Kenosha Running Club for sucking me in to training.
8. Met a “self-proclaimed” billionaire in Vegas and got propositioned for sex (mom, I said no). It was cool seeing him cash out at $130,000! Don’t you think he should have at least bought us ice cream?
7. Offered a homeless man hand sanitizer instead of money and almost got myself and friends killed. Lesson learned: homeless people who want booze and drugs don’t have a sense of humor (and don’t appreciate the wonderful scent of “clean apple”)
6. Took a ride with a complete stranger feeling “safe” solely because he had a Jesus fish hanging from is rearview mirror. I think Jesus did take the wheel because I’m alive. I offered the guy money but he took my number instead. Why I did that? Another dumb move, but I felt like I owed him?!? At least he lives on the other side of the country.
5. Finished a book! Only took 4months. This was record breaking because my last one took 6=) And I’m already crusin’ through another.
4. Went up north with the family. Relaxation, quality time, fish frys and beer was just what I needed.
3. I moved to the Southside! With my roomie and a boy (who happens to be her boyfriend). Oh, and sage too. She loves her backyard.
2. Hit 2 balls into the outfield in my last softball game of the season (granted one was a dropped error in the outfield). This is huge when the norm is strike-outs and dinks=)
1. Threw a successful party. Jess & I have had bad luck in the past. Looks like W.T. themed is the way to go!
Bonus cool thing:
I went to NY! Finally. It was for business and went super fast. But I loved times square and got to run in Central Park! Can’t wait to go back. It’s now my goal to go once a year=)
