New Beginnings

Congratulations people! Congratulations to all those new graduates, freshly born to the real world, or maybe just the partial real world. I think college is only partial real world, really it's the best of both. You still have the freedom to do what you want, but confined enough it's not so scary. It doesn't seem that long ago that I graduated, but sitting at my sister's high school graduation the other night sort of brought me back to another time and place. It seems even in the real world people confine themselves though, I mean depending on what career they go into. You confine yourself in such a way that you're not free to just leave or move when you want. I suppose you could, but there would be large consequences for doing so. I don't know, I just think it's interesting to think about.

On another note, my work is offering a Weight Watchers program so I was talked into doing it. It actually works out because my stomach does best when I'm on Weight Watchers and I had been thinking about doing it again. I haven't really lost any weight yet, I don't expect to lose a lot really, it just helps out my stomach and helps me to get in shape a little better. Really it makes me feel better all around, I feel like I can skate better, drink more, have more energy, it's all around good. I recommend it.

One of the first bands I got into back in the day (seventh grade, sixth grade maybe?) is No Doubt. I was very sad when Gwen left for her little solo business. I do love Gwen, but I was not such a fan of her solo material, so you can imagine when I found out they were touring together again I bought tickets! I still have never seen No Doubt, so I'm very excited to be seeing them in Dallas this weekend. A band called Paramore is opening for them, whom I'm also thrilled to see, I'm a big fan. It will be fun and I'll get to hang out with my sister and Jenn, two people who definitely fall in my "favorite people" group.

Okay, I better get back to work... code awaits!

New Babies

Hola mis amigos! I recently returned from Phoenix. One of my best friends lives out there and recently had a new baby boy!!! He is so adorable but cries a lot :( I feel very sorry for my friend because he is so colicky. Really it makes me have more respect for my mom since I hear all too often I was a colicky baby as well. Visiting her always forces me to put my life into perspective, because she's hit all these lifetime milestones before me. She got married a couple years ago, now has a baby, is a homeowner, she has just created a fantastic life for her and her family but she's only three months older than me. Trust me, I'm in no hurry to have a baby or anything, but it is crazy to think about her and I growing up as kids, having fun, learning about the world, and now all of a sudden she has a kid, whom will grow up and learn about the world in his own way. Not only that, but the world was a lot different in 1995 than it is now. Man, where does the time go?

I also found out I'm officially on the roster for Austin, which means I will officially be participating in the Battle of the Banked Track 2 in Austin, TX June 20-21!!!! I would love for anyone who can to come down that weekend and party in Austin with me!!! I'm really glad the summer is almost here, I think it's my favorite season, even if it does get unbearably hot.
