the rest of may

with the promise of taking on some new responsibilities, i have not had time to fill this space as much as i probably could have.

go figure that i have a great idea to kill some time between projects and it gets crushed by actually having to do work. the nerve!

the recent long weekend was welcomed with open arms, yet the four day work week that just concluded seemed to last a lifetime. everyone was pretty screwed up as to what day it was, we had bagels 3 out of the 4 days, i went for lots of walks and then wrapped it up by rolling up my jeans and playing “sock hop girl” on friday (including a music playlist to match). friday was a magic day that made me smile with excitement. i can be such a girl sometimes.

i finally started recording on saturday and have continued to add to the songs we began to create today. so far we just have some rhythm guitar parts recorded, but seeing as we had nothing when we started (not even an idea really), we saw it as a success.

this summer is already shaping up to be a busy one. so far, i have the following:

-work
-playing for the bside softball team (i was promoted from scorekeeper. yay me!)
-i’ve started meeting my friends for dinner/drinks on tuesdays, so that will still happen
-a wedding
-a graduation party
-a trip to toronto to see the red sox (did you hear it’s the same weekend as the toronto beer festival? good timing, no?)
-getting everything ready for the austin city limits festival trip
-spending time with friends (and family–but not too much time)

that was more a mental list for me. sorry.

as far as work goes:

-i have a creepy stalker who randomly shows up at my desk… or my car
-the afternoon fedex guy is far too chatty and says weird things like referring to something as “very manly” when trying to say someone is gay.
-it’s been a bad combo of hot and cold in the office and i’m hoping not to get sick again
-i’ve been dancing at my desk, in my chair, more often
-i’ve begun asking “what are your thoughts on _______?” questions that are completed with things like ashlee simpson, huey lewis & the news, celine dion, etc.
-most people think i’m insane when i ask above questions

i think that’s everything. here’s to june. this inevitably means that i will just complain a lot about it being too hot outside and too cold inside. yay summer… grrr
