I'm running away

No, not really. I just won't have internet for a little while. So after this, it will probably be a bit before I post something again.

I'm in the middle of the move right now. Just about everything is in, with the exception of my bed and dresser which will get taken care of later this morning. The place is fairly nice. Only downside right now is that they don't have the air conditioners on yet. Needless to say, life on the top floor is a little warm.

an update

Last week was nuts. At work, we had our yearly audit. It's always a frantic time. The entire week was spent answering questions, finding various documentation and getting very little of the regular weekly work done. This year, we had the added challenge of being short staffed by two people. Needless to say, by friday I was exhausted. I tried watching the Twins game Friday night but I fell asleep in the chair around 8.

Saturday was the day of many decisions. I ended up sticking with the original plan - going to the concert. In the end, it probably wasn't the best choice. I was pretty disappointed in the show. It was cool to check out First Avenue though. AND we only paid $4 to park. Yes Rachel, I'm still excited about that :)

Today Rachel and I saw Made of Honor (Dawn, check out who plays Colin!). I'm not usually the chick flick type but the movie was pretty good. There were lots of laughs - from both the men and women in the audience. It gets 3 out of 4 stars from me. After the movie, we went to Target where I remembered how impatient I get with weekend shoppers.

That's it for the weekend. I hope the upcoming week is a lot less stressful. I'll get to packing since the move is in less than two weeks. I think next weekend I'll make a visit to my parent's home with it being Mother's Day. The more selfish motive is to get all of the stuff that I've been storing out of their attic. Mom will be happy to see me for both reasons :)

I couldn't be more excited. Thanks for bringing this to my attention Claussen!! :gold star:

So much to do...

...so little time

The upcoming weekend presents a dilemma. In fact, it's the trifecta of impossible decisions. Normally, I have a hard time filling up a weekend with things to do. This weekend, I have too much going on. I'm having a difficult time deciding between three of my favorite things: music, lacrosse and drinking.

Option 1 - Music
I have a ticket to go see Kate Nash at First Avenue Saturday night. Without a doubt, it would be a good time.

Option 2 - Lacrosse
The Minnesota Swarm are in the playoffs! They have a home playoff game Saturday at 7pm. Since I've been a season ticket owner, they've never had a home playoff game. It seems wrong not to be there.

Option 3 - Drinking
Ok, so it's not just drinking. One of my best friends from college is graduating for the second time. It's not like Claussen's infamous 3 walk throughs...Ace is actually getting her Masters. I was going to go to Brookings a few weeks ago to celebrate but I ended up getting sick and therefore had to cancel. I promised I'd reschedule and this seems like the perfect weekend. Graduation weekend in Brookings is crazy fun.

As you can see, I have 3 really good options. I also have a haircut on the books for Saturday morning but at least I can reschedule if I decide to go out of town.

This is an impossible decision for me. If I can't decide whether or not to go to Coldstone without outside help...how am I ever going to decide on this one??

I'm moving

It's official. May 15th is the day.

I got a "surprise" paycheck today. I knew the money was coming...I just didn't expect it until Tuesday. It makes a rainy day a little happier.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I'd rather leave than suffer this

I'll never be your monkey wrench.

Thank you to the Foo Fighters for the title of this post.

Things here in the townhouse have been not so good since I moved in. As such, I'm moving. I'm waiting to hear back on my credit check. I don't think I have much to worry about. So as of May 15th, I'll be living at the green arrow.

I can't wait.
