Hi folks - it has come to my attention that more than one person is expecting me Colorado this week. Not true. I'm flying in NEXT Wednesday, August 6th leaving on Sunday, August 10th. Here's my current itinerary - there are plenty of opportunities to come say hi - I'd love to see everyone even though it is a short trip.
8/6 Wed - flying in late, will probably have enough time to get my rental car then go to the hotel. BUT, if you are up late - gimme a call/text!
8/7 Thur - Rockies game w/ Joe in the afternoon, party in town in the evening. This is the ideal night to meet up with folks who haven't already gotten a hold of me.
8/8 Fri - zoo w/ Kailea, evening with Mel at the Lure Lounge on 14th and Blake. Come meet us there.
8/9 Sat - visit Isis, spend afternoon alone chilling, get ready for HS reunion party, go out w/ buds afterward. Another great time to call/text.
8/10 Sun - brunch with my awesome cousin, hang out with the lovely Sarah, then fly home.
Clear as mud? :-)

SITC
So of course I went to go see SITC when it came to theatres and whenever reruns are on TBS I can't help but watch the rest of the episode even though I've seen every episode at the very least 3 times. Not only do I love the story and the characters but I also love to remember the time in my life when I first watched SITC.
The feelings are bittersweet as I can't share them with the person that I experienced them with but I will never forget that summer and the wonderful times I had with this person. I also know that it would not be the same even if we were talking. Time and distance has a way of doing that. I know that this person is doing well through the grape vine and I couldn't be prouder! All I ever wanted was to see this person succeed. I think in my efforts to help I hindered her more than anything, but the intentions were golden.
I've been thinking about that a lot lately and just today I had a phone call from Peck. Now here's someone where time and distance seems to stand still for me. For us really. No matter how many days have passed since we last talked, it always seems like it has only been a few minutes even when we spend hours on the phone catching up. I love talking to her and reminiscing our past - the good and bad. I miss her. Of all my friends, I haven't seen her in the longest time. In fact - I want to say when she was last living in our house was the last time I saw her. Wow. It would be nice to see her again and I'd love to meet Big D.
I'll be traveling to CO soon - I'll put the details in a separate post, so there goes any notion of going to TX to visit Peck but it's never quite off my radar. I hope to see her soon.

Update
It's been awhile so here are some updates:
Surgery - went well but was more extensive than expected. Recovery has been longer and the pain is more intense than expected but I'm handling it. I keep thinking I'm being a baby about it but you know it's bad when you go home to lay down for a minute and end up sleeping for 4 hours. I've been trying to get to the gym to do some light walking (I did make it on Sunday) but haven't been able to after work, I"m just soooo tired. Anyway - every day gets better. Special thanks to Dane for all his help with me and working from home so he could care for me. He's actually out of town now which makes it hard to some things but I think I'll be okay.
Sarah's Visit - was great! I was so happy to see her and spend time with her at the spa and what not. I wish she hadn't fallen and broken her ankle while at my house (can't help but feel some degree of responsibility) but what can you do. It was great to see Max and what a great kid he's turning into. Dane and I discussed and decided that we want to keep him. Hee hee. All kidding aside, we really wish we were closer to Sarah and Max to be a bigger part of their lives. We did our best to convince them to move up to WA.
School - OMG! My LAST day of my general MBA is this Saturday! Then its nothing but 5 online classes left. I'm excited and already anxious for what I'm going to do with my life when school is over. First I'll have the Becker CPA review to do, which will be 5 months of studying and testing beginning on my birthday, Feb 5th and lasting through my anniversary, July 3rd. I'm registered for classes and have nothing left to do but register for the actual exam. Can't believe the time is almost here. Afterwards I think I will go to law school. I am going to take the LSAT on Oct 4th and apply to Seattle University. Only 1/3 of applicants get accepted so we'll see but I'm going to try. Crazy, huh?
Work - is going well, I'm kinda behind schedule due to the extensive recovery or rather unexpected recovery. I'll make it work though. Jim is out this week so I've been able to take it easy which is good, but I haven't been able to focus (including right now) so I'll definitely have to bust ass the next two days.
Dane - we celebrated our 1 year anniversary last Thursday be going to dinner at The Melting Pot. It was a great dinner - we talked about the highs and lows of the year, our wedding, and what we wanted to do in the next 1 thru 10 years. It was a great discussion and I'm lucky to have such a wonderful husband.
Cats - are doing well. Willy is the craziest cat ever. EVER! Dewey is darling. Boo is demanding. And Stinker is stubborn. I love them so much.
Other - been driving Nick's Mini Cooper since it's an automatic and is easier to drive. Love it. Really think I might want one. But I still hold out hope for my Mercedes. We'll see what's in store. If I go to law school then I can't afford a Mercedes till AFTER.
I feel higher than a kite right now so I'm going to sign off and enjoy the ice cream social at work then go home and get some reading and homework done. I only have tonight and tomorrow night left to do it. Yikes! I don't even know what I'm supposed to do. Whatever.
Till next time.
