Go Skateboarding...wait - do I do that?

Not so much...but there was a time when it was really all I did. A long time ago, in a far, far away land...

It was really weird today - I left work a little early and was walking along Nicollet Mall - one of the best spots to be in the city on a Thursday afternoon in the summer (thank you farmer's market & the street vendor hotdog guys); and it struck me that it was/is "Go Skateboarding Day" and what was odd was that I didn't see anyone skateboarding...NOT that they weren't out in full force.

It actually made me reflect on how much my life has changed in the past few years - it really blows my mind. I wore a dress to work today. I remember wearing dresses to Fobia too - but you better believe I had to defend that decision to the death against Andrew (formerly know as Lurkstizzle), Hunk-Puff, Burger, Paul, (but for some reason Dana Maltby never cared). Nobody looked twice as I walked into work today, but then again - I work in an office downtown; not Fobia. I guess my point is - a lot has changed...but I still knew it was go skateboarding day - that's got to count for something. Right?

Puerto Rico Mami

So - I don't know why I forgot to mention this - but I recently booked tickets for what is sure to be a fantastic trip to Puerto Rico in January with the lovely Mrs. Gerrick & the fun-loving Ms. Nielsen to visit the one and only Tanya de Jesus.



Never mind that the trip is in January - Soy emociando ahora!!!

Three whole days

Since I last posted - but I was on a role there for a minute - like 2 posts a day.

You know what's really cool - is when you meet people that you kind of expect to be completely normal; like you don't think you'd be friends with them, they don't suck but you don't think they'll be awesome...and then they turn out to be awesome. I had that experience last night, and it was really cool.

Turns out they weren't boring jock-o types; they actually had a really great taste in music, love traveling to amazing destinations, and were all around interesting to talk to for more than 10 minutes. Good to re-affirm that I shouldn't be narrow minded with people - they can surprise you at any time.

Places to go

So is it crazy to anyone else that there are so many states in our country? I can't even think of all the places I want to go in my life outside of the U.S. - and then to consider the fact that I live in such a huge country with so much to see! I love traveling. God...I haven't been anywhere.

What kind of friend would I be...

If I didn't mention this...

ADD or ADHD...what's the difference again?

So I'm having an insanely difficult time concentrating on anything these days. I get to work, and even though I have piles of stuff to do I check my emails (I have 3 email accounts, which, I understand is a bit overkill); check other people's blogs, check my blog, and then go make food. Don't get me wrong, I work too. I actually have a job that makes me more prone to ADD or ADHD or whatever...I seriously get interrupted 900 time a day, at least. I have a lot on my plate, and I guess I just need to learn how to focus. I'm actually going to quit blogging now so I can look up prices to Puerto Rico and buy tickets for a trip I'll be taking in January...then I'm going to work.

If this isn't extreme - I don't know what is...

Canadians are crazy - we all know that! Some dude in Ontario went nuts on his girlfriend - and the judge knew what to do! Awesome!
