Quick post before leaving...

Ok, it's 6am and I haven't slept yet. Does this sound familiar?? Sadly, this happens almost every time I travel. I don't know what it is. I thought I would spend a little time catching up quickly, again :-)

After New Years, things got really busy at work. Between trying to rush through and finish getting stuff ready for eCommerce and trying to catch up from being gone for a month...I had a lot to do.

The next couple of weeks were a little foggy. I went to a YSA activity somewhere in there, and we played glow in the dark volleyball. Seriously...a LOT of fun :-) We also went to lunch for my mom's birthday. It's getting to be near impossible to get everyone together for that stuff anymore, hehe. I also had a game night at Jen's where we played "Settlers of Catan" (the German version that I brought back, hehe). When my friend Brandon came home from his mission about 8 years ago we played it (he brought it back from Germany with him). I LOVED it. While I was in Germany, I mentioned to Tammie that I couldn't remember what the game was called or anything about it, but I knew what the board looked like. By looking at the backs of all the games, I was able ot pin it down to "Settlers". I then got back home, and started hearing commercials for it over here...lol. I see how it is!!

I also ended up going to a play with my friend, Marjorie. I think this has to do with the "news" that my mom was referring to in her comment. One of Marjorie's other friends ended up coming with his nephew, and he sat next to me. As soon as intermission started, he started grilling me. Long story short...after the play, he gave me his email address and had asked for help with his eBay account. I answered his questions and sent an email back a couple of days later. I then got another email back asking if we could text back and forth. I said yes, of course, and we've talked to each other at least on the phone every single day since. He invited me to lunch last Saturday, as well. That went well enough that he ended up coming to Julie's to play games with me.

The rest of the week followed with dinners, lunches, or him just stopping by to see me every day for the last week (and 3 times on days like Friday). I'm still deciding how I feel about the whole thing, but apparently it's exciting for everyone, hrm.
Not much for "news" but apparently everyone gets all excited at the possibility of me dating someone...lol.

Ok, I've GOT to finish getting stuff ready for eCommerce. I need to leave for the airport in a little over an hour. Blah. I can't keep my eyes open! With any luck I'll have some pictures ready to post when I get back :-)

Where did all my time go??

Wow...it's been a month since I posted. I have NO idea where all my time went. Christmas, starting back at work, New Year's, game nights, WoW nights, yeah...I don't seem to know where it all went. Here's a *very* quick update (and I promise I'll try to get pictures later).

We started our new Christmas traditions this year. We got together with my brothers and sisters (all who could) on Christmas Eve for dinner, presents, and all around family togetherness. It was a lot of fun to be together. As always, we really missed those who weren't there. One of these days we'll all be together again. I'm counting on it!

Christmas morning, I made the rounds with my parents. Wow, could I feel any more pathetic? I'm going to be the psycho aunt Coco who has nothing better to do for Christmas day than tag along with Grandma and Grandpa. It was nice to see the kids again, though (even though I had just seen them the night before). It was fun to see excitement on Christmas morning :-)

Mandy and Courtney came over a couple of days after Christmas to help me clear out my office. We got TONS done, but I still have a lot to do. It's always fun to just push through some cleaning with some nice good help.

I went back to work on New Year's Eve. I was SO not ready. Even though I had just spent 3 weeks out of the country...it didn't feel like I had been off of work for long enough! The first day was pretty easy, though.

I spent New Year's Eve with Julie and Roger and some members of Roger's family up at their house. We had a lot of fun with dinner, playing games, and just talking. Julie and I went outside and did fireworks at midnight (which was HILARIOUS when we came inside and saw the 3 guys hanging out in the living room watching out the window).

New Year's Day, we went to Stan and Sharon's to hang out. It was a LOT of fun. Becky, Courtney, and I shared the kid's table with Dominic (pictures still to come) while some of the other kids were swimming. It was then that I was convinced to make dinner and plan games and stuff for a double date for Courtney and Becky. More on this to come later.

Ok, at least I'm caught up to New Year's Day :-) A lot more has happened since then, but I'm far too exhausted. With my traveling to DC on Sunday for eCommerce...I have a LOT to do before then. I'll try to get a little more info in where I can, though :-)
