I Can’t Think of a Clever Title
I took some time away from my blog, I’m sure you’ve noticed. Lately, I’ve been feeling a little burned out. It’s mostly because there are so many things to do and so little time to get them all done. Alas, blogging fell to the wayside and I’m feeling guilty about that.
It was nice to have a few days off. I wasn’t worrying about what to write each day, and instead focused on many other important things in my life.
Friday night I went out for drinks with my BFF, Amanda. We hit a few bars in town and spent several hours catching up on the goings-on in each other’s lives. I finally met her boyfriend (and he’s a doll) and we dished about people we friended on Facebook. It was hilarious to gossip about people we knew in high school and what they are up to now, twelve years later.
That same night, my brother, Nate, and his girlfriend, Becky, came out, too. It was nice to hang out with Nathan. He’s four years younger than me, and when we were kids we fought a lot, but now that we’re older we get along great. I didn’t get to spend a lot of time with him before he left for Kuwait, and when he came back home in November of 2006 I was a busy mom to a two year old and rarely got to hang out with him. Over the last year we’ve been growing closer and it’s nice. I really like Becky, too. I hope he marries that girl. Even Dawson loves her. He’s already calling her Aunt Becky.
Saturday was a crazy day. I had to work in the morning, but I didn’t get much sleep because I got home too late (bar time sure comes quickly when you’re having fun) so I was dragging for most of the day. I took a catnap at noon and then I had to meet my mother for a Lia Sophia Extravaganza show. It was awesome. Mom and I both bought $10 in raffle tickets and we both won two pieces of jewelry from the new line (with a value of about $66) and I won $75 dollars in gift certificates, too. It was a lot fun. At one point during the party, the jewelry adviser asked for volunteers to model the jewelry and do some turns as if we were on a catwalk. It was hilarious.
Yesterday my parents, Nathan, Becky, my sister Rachel and I participated in the Walk for Life in town. We marched from City Hall to the Dreyfus Center at UWSP and then stayed for a Pro-Life Rally at the university. They had some wonderful speakers and I’m really glad I went. I’ve got some notes for a post that I’m working on. Hopefully I’ll publish it by the end of the week.
Today was a very long day. I was so tired from the lack of sleep and I was feeling tense and stressed out. I had the worst migraine and I truly thought I was going to die. Thankfully, Doug took care of Dawson so I could rest in the dark and quiet bedroom and now I’m feeling much better. Groggy, but not in pain anymore.
In other news, Doug sold his truck yesterday. He put it up for sale last spring, but with high gas prices we didn’t have any bites. But a high school kid from Eau Claire was really interested and he came to look at it yesterday morning and bought it on the spot. We didn’t expect that it would happen that quickly. So, we’re down to just my vehicle and the carpooling is kind of a pain in the ass. But we are saving money in gas and Doug and I are communicating better so that we can coordinate our schedules — so that’s a bonus.
Hopefully things will calm down soon. I’ve got lots to say!
