Day 44
Who said life has to be boring? Got a text at noon asking if I wanted to use a buddy pass to Phoenix for the weekend to see Brandon. At KC airport now!

Day 43
Back in KC and exhausteeeed.

Day 42

While I was working today, apparently something was said that I wasn't paying attention to.

Oh well, I get to go back to KC tomorrow!!!!!!!!! But I'll be back to Orlando on Monday again.

Day 41

If you've ever wondered what the Marriott in downtown Orlando looks like, wonder no more.

Oh and don't worry, there's an NBA game next door tomorrow.

Day 40

Good news is I made it to Orlando.
Bad news is this is what I'm driving.

Day 39

Heading back to Orlando tomorrow until Thursday. I finally caught up on my sleep. I'd say I got a good 12 hours in....I needed it after an exhausting weekend!

Day 38

Tailgating for the Royals game got canceled due to the rain pouring outside. Boo!! But, "The Hills" marathon is on so it's all good. Brookside tonight!

Day 37

3 hours of sleep does not make for a very productive day.

Day 36
Going out for Lauren's bachelorette party!

Day 35

Drinking wine and listening to Colby learn spanish on rosetta stone...I'm hearing a lot of "el hombres". Or maybe that's the wine talking.

Day 34

I had a nice surprise waiting at my front door when I got home today. Ok, well, technically it wasn't so much a surprise seeing as how the floral company left me a message informing me they left something at my door (thanks for ruining the surprise!).

Helen Keller has a sibling!!! Name suggestions?

Really thoughtful of my team at work

Helen Keller trucking along

Helen Keller meet your brother

Day 33

Working out feels great!!!

Day 32

Operation "Spring Fling" version 1 was a success...judging by the hangover I have today. None of the neighbors even complained!

Day 29
Trip to the airport...5 hours later back in Emporia.

Day 28
Lunch at J's today. Nothing like a free ice cream cone at the end of a meal.

Day 27
Blogging from my phone via text so not quite sure how this is going to turn out.
Had a nice chinese lunch with the family at House of Ma. Will edit later

Day 26

It's not the news you're expecting while sitting in the boarding area waiting for your 8:50am flight out to Orlando- your grandpa died.
I think he did this on purpose cause he knew how much I didn't want to go to Orlando this week. Thanks grandpa, I owe you one. Enjoy your beautiful mansion in the sky, love you.

RIP Grandpa

Day 25

I'll go right ahead and jump into Sunday's post to get a head start on the day.

The result of tailgating for 5 hours in the sun yesterday. My retarded half sunburn. Topside-burn, bottomside=white. Luckily I was smart enough and put sunscreen on my face so it's not as bad but still has a little bit of color now. Oh, and did I mention I have to go onsite tomorrow until Thursday for my project? Granted, I'll be in Orlando but I'm probably going to be wearing long sleeves for the first few days. You don't even wanna see the top half of the arm where my t-shirt cuts it off.

Day 24 (the real deal)

Oh Saturday, you were pretty good to us. One of the first things to ever happen to me in my life happened....I got pulled over for the first time. It was in North Kansas City where everything is 20 mph and the cops have nothing better to do then wait til you stop at a stop sign, go 20 feet then pull you over. I lived in NKC for a year and have worked there for 2 years and managed to never get pulled over. I literally got pulled over about 20 feet from Melvyn's place. After the cop takes my license to go run it, Lesley calls me. I text her back and say "See me pulled over?". Nonetheless, the cop was pretty forgiving and basically said "I gotta give my speech. This is a school zone and it's only 20 mph. Let me go run this so you can get on your way". Sweet, I didn't get a ticket!!! Now on to go tailgate at the Royals game!

Day 24 (kinda)

Saturday's post will be posted in full tomorrow (Sunday) as I'm too tired to post the many fun filled details of today. Stay tuned!

Day 23

TGIF!!!
Bright and early at 7am tomorrow I will be volunteering at the Walk MS-Johnson County event. I decided it's time to start volunteering more and helping other people out. I'm also looking into becoming a Big Sister through Big Brothers Big Sisters and have an orientation later this month to find out more information.
Also, tomorrow we'll be tailgating and going to the Royals game. Should be lots of fun, so expect pics tomorrow!

Day 22

Movie night!
Now off to bed.

Day 21

Helen Keller is pulling through!!! Now I don't want to jinx anything but I believe we might actually see something come from this plant. I have been diligently watering her and leaving her in the kitchen window sill to soak up the sun, so.....stay tuned.

Day 20

It's gettign hot in herrrrrr! It's "Take this Job and Shove it" Tuesday! This time it started out at Kokopelli's Mexican Cantina where we had Sangria Margaritas...delicious. Which this lead into a Waldo pubcrawl and why I'm posting at 12:30am even though I've been up since 4:30am. Fun day!!!

Day 19

Tired, tired Monday. Running on about 4 hours of sleep. That nice little Sunday nap caused me to not fall asleep until past 2am. Busy workday, gotta be back in before 6am tomorrow since I have a client "converting", meaning they're going live with some new functionality and we have to turn stuff on during their downtime. Hoping to take some benadryl later and be asleep...asap.

Day 18

Happy Easter everyone! Since I celebrated the holiday yesterday with my family, today was just more of a lazy day. I decided to take advantage of the nice weather and big backyard and play with Mr. Ludwig.

"Ludwig...you wanna go outside and play?"

As of right now, he's loudly snoring and sleeping on his side while enjoying the coolness of the hardwood floor.
