Yeah - I can't make anything simple and clean. Look at the blog! It was clean lines and a white background yesterday and now it's all pink and weird. I need to play with it a little more....
Today I went to lunch with a coworker...
Ok, wait - quick insight: For the most part, all of my coworkers are men. This makes for very interesting lunch conversation when I am actually invited to join in the male bonding time of lunch. However, today, my lunch buddy (Diane) has the day off and I ended up going with a guy in the office. We had to skim around on insignificant facts about ourselves in order to pass the time in order to not make anything awkward. I still grill him on my guy problems though (example: "What the heck was this guy thinking when he said this that way and why would he say it to me?!?!?!") and allow the boys to carry my tray and open doors for me like I'm a delicate flower (well, I AM...sometimes).
Anyway, we sat there and discussed our childhood. It's crazy the things I did when I was younger and think nothing is ever going to hurt me. Or how I used to go to the skating rink on the weekends and thought it was the best thing ever. Now I sit here with a career and mortgage and can't believe I was once that naive child who thought it didn't get any better than cartoons on Saturday morning with red Kool-Aid.
Last night while I was at the gym, I started thinking about where I was a year ago. I was completely zoned out on the treadmill when I realized that last year at this time, I had no idea that I would be where I am now. I mean, I knew I was buying the house then, but I didn't realize how much of a transition I was in as far as my life in general. It makes me wonder where I will be this time next year...
I love where I'm at. I love all of this newness to life. The people coming in and out of my life and having to cease every moment with them. It's exciting!
One thing I'm having to make myself remember right now is to be patient. Even though I want to MAKE things happen, if I wait for when they are SUPPOSED to happen - they will only be that much sweeter! Hopefully...
See...I told you it was impossible for me to be a minimalist....

i miss the gym...i'm still feeling kinda blah...so i think i'll see how i'm feeling tomorrow...but I'll make myself go back on Tuesday.
I totally remember going to City Skates. It was "So Cool." Wow.
I remember when i was younger, I would go there on New Years Eve because they had a lock in. I'd go with my cousins, knowing nobody else who would be there, and leave, knowing no one else. But it was the "funnest" thing I did all winter break and I couldn't wait till the next year to do it all over again.
Ha.
