Another Rushed Lunch Post

I am bad at this... Can I just tell you how nuts the last few weeks have been? Meetings on meetings on meetings. Like seriously, I think it was last week (they all are starting to blur together) we had 2 consecutive days of solid 8 hr. meetings. Those are so draining, but then again really yummy free lunch haha. I guess this was 2 weeks ago, but on Wednesday we had my entire team in town (some of our team members work remote and out of state) so as a team we went bowling and brought a cake for my manager’s birthday! It was a lot of fun! My momma came as my plus one it was awesome. We basically got the same score, but sadly enough we both really stink at bowling. It was really awesome that she came and got to meet my team and we were able to spend time together. Ever since I moved out I hardly see my family any more. That is not their fault, their door is always open, but you know how it is, life gets crazy. 

of course my character has pink hair,

Last weekend we had a crazy complicated course that turned into a hot mess. So, combined on Saturday and Sunday I worked 6.5 hours, all over time. It was cool to be able to help my manager out. Plus, the extra money was definitely a bonus! We finally got things resolved and it actually helped lead to a new pilot process that could help our new university wide project. I didn’t do anything significant, just enough to help, but it still felt cool to have the chance to. Have you noticed that all I ever talk about is my dog, my job, and basically that’s it… I need a life… So, letting my inner nerd out, I’ve been starting to make time to play World of Warcraft, what’s funny is today at work I was talking to a co-worker, and we have a team IM chat, and I had asked her a question in it, when I went to follow up on it in a private chat I lead with “hey did you see what I posted in guild chat” without even batting an eye… After sending it and feeling like an idiot I realized maybe I play too much lately haha.

I’m trying to think of exciting things to tell you. Or even just normal not dog/work things… Oh! So I re-registered my car last week (Can you believe it’s been a year since I got it?) Anyway, it cost $212 to register! It’s a good thing I had savings which it basically drained (I have issues saving, I’m bad at it) Point is, that I was shocked. I had NO IDEA it would cost so much. Apparently in 2 years it will go down but still… So the weather lately has been sunny and warm, I’m talking early to mid-70’s. Yay early summer! I am so antsy and excited to start hitting up the mountains with Clary and hiking. Personally I feel like hiking is my escape from reality. No cell service, just me, my dog, and nature (sounds like a bad country song) Saturday and Sunday are supposed to be really warm, so I might try get up the canyons then. It sounds cheesy, but I can really use some clarity and mental recharging. Ah, nature!

I was realizing today just how much I miss my family, and especially my baby sister. Can I just tell you that I have the coolest sister in the world? For being 9 years younger than me, sometimes she acts more mature than me. When I lived closer we used to hang out more. Go for drives, spend too much money at the mall, and of course lots of girl talk. My mom is good for that too. It’s “silly” to some, but my mom and my sister are my best friends. Sometimes I’m not sure they realize how much they do for me. My dad too, my dad likes to randomly send me texts telling me he’s thinking about me, that he loves me and hopes I’m having a good day. Those are my absolute favorite. I guess what I’m trying to say is my family is cooler than your family.  Have a good week all!
