Update on my boring life...

I know I haven’t written a blog in a while. I’ve been trying real hard to write at least once a week. Lately, however, I have failed. Sometimes I just have nothing “blogworthy” to blog about. I guess I have plenty to say but some is just too private to blog about. Let’s see… where did I last leave you? I think it was before my birthday/Halloween. Let’s start there. I had a fabulous birthday. Phil got me a new camera and I love it. My old one just didn’t work right and most of my pictures turned out like crap. I was 99.99% sure that I wasn’t getting Winston (the super cute golden retriever puppy that I have blogged about in the past and wanted for my birthday present from Phil) but I have to admit that I was slightly disappointed that he wasn’t my present. Not that I didn’t love my present I got! Oh well, I’ll have him someday. Josh and Lynsie’s Halloween party was fun and I got to sleep in the next day which is always nice. I ended up having to do a little bit of homework on my birthday but not too much. After I got my homework done I watched movies and took a nap until my friends came over. Once they got to my house we went to the Orchard for dinner. Yum :) Then we went back to my place and played games until it was time to get ready and go out to the Dive. I think I am getting old because I just can’t handle staying up real late for 2 nights in a row. I am used to going to sleep at 10:00 every night, not staying up until 2:00 A.M. (or even later). So I had a lot of fun at the Dive but it was a little too crowded for my taste and I wasn’t feeling like drinking so I didn’t even get my buzz on. But that’s alright.

The next weekend, this last one, my Aunt Laura and I drove up to my Aunt Jenny’s house to spend the night and visit. I knew I would need all the energy I could get for this weekend. Without going into too many details, let’s just say that it was very stressful and overwhelming. I first would like to say that I absolutely adore my mom’s side of the family. I love spending time with them. However, lately I have had to endure lots of “heavy discussions” and I have learned a lot about each one of them, some things I would rather have not known. When it comes to my family, I like to stay innocent and pretend that everything is perfect like it has always been. Okay, let’s get back on track here. My aunt and I went up because we were supposed to have “family meeting” but it was cancelled at the last minute. We decided to go up anyways because we thought it would be nice to visit and we could also talk about things. Plus I was really looking forward to seeing my little sister. All I can say about seeing her was that it was very hard. It was good, but hard. Then on Saturday morning my aunt and I ventured out to go see my mom where she was staying. It was around lunch time and we both had to pee and we got lost in central Minnesota. Who would have known that there were two County Road 11s, two County Road 3s AND two County road 38s within 20 miles of each other! We sure didn’t know. Neither of us brought a GPS so I called up Phil to have him find us and point us in the right direction. Well of course he didn’t know where we were because he thought we were over by the other County Roads where we were supposed to be and at that point we didn’t know there were two sets. Anyways, long story short, we turned around, oh about 4 times, (neighbors probably thought we were crazy) and we got on the right track and arrived at our destination. We hung out with my mom and talked a little while and went out for coffee at a cute little coffee shop. Then we headed the 3 hour drive home.

Well, that is all that has happened since I last wrote that is even somewhat bloggworthy. Hopefully I can get some more excitement in my life so I have more to write about. Right now it is pretty much---boring. Wake up, get ready, drive to work, work for 8 hours, drive home, eat dinner, do homework, watch TV, go to sleep, repeat. I expect change in my life for the coming year (all good I hope)! All I have to look forward to at the moment is getting my hair done tomorrow and then day after Thanksgiving shopping!
