Afternoon DMV

I have spent majority of the afternoon at the DMV and I am about 34 people away from getting service. It had been a long afternoon. I would like to share a few thoughts with y'all, this experience needs to be documented and I need to pass the time.

1. People should not bring their children to the DMV, this is better birth control than a trip to target. I understand that parents do what they have to, but I can't handle it. I'm lacking in the maternal instincts department.

2. BYU is awesome, No. 3 in the rankings this week! I hope they come to denver for the first two rounds of the tournament.

3. Technology is amazing. I have kept my sanity through this process because of my awesome phone. I almost downloaded a book on my kindle app, but I'm too cheap for that.

4. I'm about 24 people away now. A lot off people must have given up hope and I'm reaping the benefits!

5. The DMV brings together the most random group of people in the world. Looking around this room is actually making me laugh.

6. The people I work with are fantastic. They're so accommodating and kind. Between the basement flooding and strep, they have been so helpful. It's great to have people like that around.

7. Oh no another crying child. I feel bad for the people who work here, just being here is exhausting.

8. I can't wait to get back to the gym. Strep sidelined me most of last week, so I'm ready to get back on the game. I have fitness goals involving pullups and a timeline to keep.

9. People just keep flooding in the doors, they don't know what they're getting themselves into

10. Oh no, public whistling... Enough said.

Only ten people away... I'm going to conclude this now in case they just fly through everyone.

Happy monday!

Spring Training

When I walked outside yesterday, I was pretty sure that it was still winter here in Colorado but apparently it is Spring down in Arizona because Spring Training games have begun. And by that I mean there was one yesterday and a handful today.

Does anyone miss baseball season as much as I do? Or as much as my weird family does? No, I don't think so.

My brother called me today to tell me that his season officially begins tomorrow (he coaches in a little town outside of Vegas). My dad's high school team started practicing a few weeks ago. Even my little brother's teams is gearing up for the summer.

I CAN'T WAIT. I will wait, because I have to. Oh man, I'm ready for warm weather and summer evenings at Coors Field!

Sick

Sorry for the lack of updates on the blog this week. I’ve been debilitated by a case of strep this week. Does it make me feel like I’m nine years old? Yep, it sure does.

On the bright side, I was able to get some medicine and I’m feeling much better although not even close to 100 percent. My work has been very accommodating, I think a good portion of this comes from my bosses fear that I’ll get him sick but I’ll accept it anyway.

SLEEP. I love it. This gives me an excuse to do it ALL DAY LONG!!! I think I worked for an hour, went to the doctor and then slept all day Wednesday until I decided that I needed to try to eat. Then I went straight to bed.

This brings me to the only other reason strep can be good, there is no need to fight off cravings of candy and massive quantities of bread and pasta when you have absolutely no appetite. I don’t even feel guilty that I ate a doughnut that my boss brought in for food Friday because I’ve barely eaten all week.

Best Weekend Ever

Ok, so I can't say that because the weekend hasn't come yet. However, I am fairly certain that this might be the best weekend ever.

This is my best friend.










And she recently decided that she would like to marry this guy and he bought her a really sparkly ring.











So I'm going here











To shop for one of these.













And I'm going to see this little thing and her momma.












And a bunch of my closest friends that I abandoned when I moved to Colorado.

Red

When I visited my mom and Cris in San Antonio, we spent an afternoon in Fredericksburg. It was awesome.

The town is a little German settlement in the hill country. There are a variety of antique stores and little home and clothing boutiques and I could have spent several days exploring. My mom told me there was one store that I was going to love called Red and she was right! Unfortunately it was closed that day... so sad.

I actually peered in all the windows and took a few shots with my camera (for inspiration purposes in the future). Today I discovered that they have an online store, as well as a blog. I love, love, love everything here (thanks mom). Unfortunately it's well out of my price range, but still great to use for a little DIY inspiration.

Even better that they have a lookbook.
