So the board reports are finally done!! They kicked my ass all week and now the filing is going to overcome me, but not before I jot a quick note to myself. :)
Speaking of, I noticed a comment on my blog asking advice on the issuance of this blog address. My blog is my personal journal and as people have asked, I have kindly extended my blog address. I haven't felt an overwhelming urge to blast email everyone in the world of my personal journal address. I am not entirely sure who does and does not have this address. I don't keep track of that as the entries I write are not written to those reading my blog, they are for me. Having said that, I am happy to share my journal with anyone interested. Please do not take personal offense if I have not sent a golden invitation your way. :)
More on life later, there have been many revalations - all good stuff!

Valentine's Day Weekend
Dane and I, forever the non-traditionalists, have decided to celebrate V-day on President's Day weekend. There are several reasons for this act, #1 V-day stuff is now on sale #2 we each have a V-day, meaning I am to take him out on Sunday and he is to take me out tonight #3 we didn't want to deal with the hoopla of V-day weekend at any restaurants #4 we didn't want to deal with the hoopla of P-day and the All-Stars in downtown Denver this weekend. So I think we will have a fun weekend. We are going to Central City on Saturday, I'm going to EFF up the all you can eat crab!!!! Besides that, all is well. I'm looking forward to having Monday off. I'm getting better at portion control. I've started a new exercise routine throughout the day.
OH! I may be starting an intern at an accounting firm. It would kill my free time, but I need the experience. We'll see.

Life Without Plans
So recently I have started to consolidate my weekly activities into two nights, Tuesdays and Thursdays. It has left me with plenty of freetime on M, W, F, and one day on the weekends to do errands. Course with this new routine, I have scheduled plenty of free time where I don't really make plans. It's funny to see Dane totally step up and start making plans for us and booking out our time. This weekend ended up being a lot of fun for not knowing what I was going to do, and honestly - it felt great!
Friday - Rhi - the EVER predicatable (smile) caved to a bet with the devil slash Sam. He gambled $20 that Rhi couldn't finish a whole shot of straight everclear. She got most of the shot down, but tried to finish it in order to cash in on her bet and ended up puking in the kitchen sink. At 6:38 pm. Minutes later she was out on all fours on the lawn, "fertilizing". Man, this is so wrong, but I can't even count how many times and how many different people have puked on that lawn. And I wonder why we have brown spots. Paula said it best to Rhi in one single word - "Dumbass". Jamie and Becky came over after that and the Huish family and J and B played Monopoly, Taboo, and hide-in-a-bag. It was a good time for all.
Saturday - I slept in LATE. Rhi got bad news REPEATEDLY. We all went to breakfast courtesy of Becky - thanks Becky and shopping. There was a British Bloke at Borders that spoke of Bikes to me. I gave Borders my email addy (blondninjachick) so I could get e-coupons and he inquired about my handle and I explained and he's a fellow rider and blah blah. He had an accent though so I just sat there and listened, held up the line, and giggled sweetly. Rhi and Becky made fun of me. BUT I got Dane's Valentine's Gift (even though I used his gift card that he won to purchase half of it). Then we bought 20 stuffed puppies, 20 chocolate hearts, and 20 roses for the employees of Denver C&C, Becky put them together in all her creativity. Bless her heart. By the time the men got home, Rhi was ready to tear down the roof, so we decided to go out. I got all gothed out. Then realized once I got to the Church that it was not Goth night. I felt like Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde when she went to the "costume" party. I had a GREAT time though, didn't drink, just danced my ass off! I did rip my evil cupcake dress though. Boo.
Sunday - Sleeping in, chores, and fun at Stacy's house. I love my family. My mom noticed my nose finally and got over it fairly easily. Dad has a "letter" for me. I'm skeered.
Today - Valentine's Day. Threesome dinner at House of Kabob planned, should be a good time.

Money, Money, Money
So between the debts that I have incurred over the past year and the year that it will take me to recover, I've decided that I will always be in some form of debt. Life would not be interesting if it wasn't around. So I am okay with debt.
Of course I still need to clear it up and help Dane with his. We have to get a house someday! So recently I have been thinking a lot about life and marriage and growing up and all this "adult stuff", as of today here they are:
Marriage: There are times when I look down at my bare left fingers and think - "I won't wait forever, I will not be one of *those* couples that stays boyfriend and girlfriend forever." Then I talk to the most amazing women I know from my mom, to Marcia, to Paula, to Sarah, to Becky, to Peck, to Rhi - all these women who are married, divorced, eternally single, youthful, smitten, bitter, sometimes all these things at once! *laughs* I talk to them and then I get all nervous and sweat. I don't want to go through the pain and expense of a divorce. But I don't want to discount the feelings I have for Dane. I don't want to get married or not get married because of the logistics of it. I love Dane. I would marry him in a heartbeat. I guess that's what the marriage union is all about, formally expressing to EVERYONE the love you share with another individual. It's not a piece of paper that makes your insurance go down, it's not meant to increase your taxes. It's not something to do for convenience. A marriage is a proposal to each other and the universe that you love ____ and you will live your entire life, through thick and thin, with _____. I am ready to make that commitment to one person and one only. I have thought about it with others, but it didn't feel like this. I can see myself with Dane YEARS from now. I can see us on the Nile, on Mt. Everest, in the Louvre. I can see it all with him. And I want it all with him, only him. But I'm still skeered.
I will write more about growing up later. This blog is good.

The Beginning
After celebrating one of the best birthdays ever, starting a new diet/exercise plan, working in a new office, and rejuvenating almost every part of my life I am left with a lot more questions than answers. Everything that I once thought has slowly dissolved over the years. I *AM* that person that knew everything and little by little discovered I know nothing! Everything that I thought about people and human behavior - WRONG! It's so weird discovering that not everyone is like you. But I've also learned that when you meet someone like you, what a treat it is. Of course it's healthy and diverse to be involved with a plethora of people, but as I get older I find that I like the people like me most. They tend to be the most compassionate, real, loyal, true friends/family. So for my birthday, here is my scribe:
It's all about: good times, not drama.
Self-pity: can be helpful in Hawaiian Airports but not in situations that had plenty of prep time.
I think: Dane is amazing.
I also think: he is very lucky.
Cheap beer is: best served in a dive bar with your best friends and drunk regulars.
The Gothic World: has no rules, but I enjoy breaking them anyway.
Some people: just don't get along no matter what.
My favorite jeans: are forever stained with the hummus and memories of 2/5/05.
Friends cannot: be defined by a single action.
However: they can be rated on a scale.
Driving: 500 miles to see a friend rates 100 on a scale of 1 to 10, canceling plans and leaving your friends in the dust rates a -100.
There are always: more pictures taken of Rhi than me.
I wonder: why.
I can be very: loving sometimes and it bothers me that people don't know how to respond to that.
I don't like: how bossy I have been in the past.
Yoga: really does help soothe the mind.
A good diet: is worth 3 30 minute walks a week.
My mom is going: to kick my ass when she finds out about my nose.
And you know what: I don't care - I'm entering a self expression phase.
Amy is: really funny when she's had a few drinks.
