pretty terrific
I haven’t updated in awhile but so far my weekend is going so nicely I thought I should post.
I am afraid to talk about it because it’s not September 29th, but suffice it to say I will be moving on September 28th to South Minneapolis. Details to follow once it’s all settled (it’s making me very very nervous). Happy Birthday To Me.
Last weekend I was in Chicago visiting JJ. Can I just say that I will never be cut out for drinking like those guys are? Ha ha ha! (I did do a good job in Vegas though, but I think that’s because of all the naps + no beer [beer makes me sleepy].) I played beer pong for the first time and we arrived at Hakan’s apartment Sunday evening to find his roommate passed out from a day of football and booze. If they only recruited from UW-Madison still I could understand this binge drinking ;), but now they recruit from all over. COMPANY CULTURE I guess!
It was really really fun though and I of course loved being there. We got to go shopping, look through all of J’s Turkey pictures, drink spumante, go out to this fancy bar for mojitos where the server kept hitting on Hakan and then later all of us, hit up some mediterranean food, go to Great America YAY!, and then Jenny even made us crepes!!! They were AMAZING and she had the best toppings too. Yum. And of course just spend general time chatting etc. It was very very fun, thank you so much Jenny Jane for being such a stellar hostess!
Now I have to buy tickets for SF in November. Yessssssss.
This weekend is off to a great start. I had a totally busy week at work which is actually really nice. Sickly I like juggling all this stuff because it makes me feel useful and makes me work efficiently. Angela and Mark liked the stuff I did so that was another feel-good bonus. Woo. Because of the busy week, once I got done what I had to on Friday I took off early. Had a little chat with some freelance clients and that actually went really really well which I did NOT expect. Ha. Cool.
Scooted home and made myself a modified malt-and-burger dinner of a black bean burger and a Caribou cooler. Yum. At 7 I headed over to Alyssa’s for her politicial-crop-art and nail-art bday party. That was a total blast and I was really, REALLY glad I went. It was just a super night and now I have some beautiful nails with rainbows and stars on them, ha, and have found out that it’s not SO easy to be a seed artist. Hm. All in all, pretty terrific. I could have stayed longer but I didn’t want to overstay my welcome.
Came back to Jeff’s and we made cookies and watched two more episodes of FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS. I am totally obsessed with this show and it’s super sad. I can’t help it, it’s such a great high school drama!!! Ha ha ha!
I have a couple of other parties going on tonight (lots of Sept bdays/events!) and hopefully I can just hang out, because tomorrow I’ve GOT TO start packing and crank out some freelance. MUST. START. PACKING. AAAAH! Okay. Enough.
Now Jeff is doing Tae Bo and making me guilty for not working out. Maybe I’ll lift tomorrow with all the UMN freshman. Heh. Or maybe I’ll go for a run. Better idea.
Have a great weekend buddies, and here’s to two of my favorite months – Sept and Oct!!! Things are going well. Pretty terrific.

Yay, updates! For a second I was all judgy-wudgy about FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, but then I remembered that one of my can’t miss shows is THE HILLS. which is just beyond lame.
