2009. (keeping the sentimentalism to a minimum)

fail. epic blog fail.

yes, i've been busy for the past few weeks... hence not posting. please accept my sincere apologies. it happens.

right?

let's move on.

i'm currently sitting in the ft. myers florida airport. this is not my first plane ride over my 6 week break from work... and it's not going to be my last either.

here's the rundown

the last night of work at the OEC we had our christmas party. it was a good time, but i had to leave relatively early to get back to my mom's house to fly out to washington the next morning! my washington adventure was FANTASTIC! i had so much fun with murphy and the eberles and all of the other random people i met while i was there. i loved helping out at cheese louise too!! i cant even put it all into words, but it was great to be there, i was sad to go. but i had to be back for christmas!

i flew back to detroit on the 22 at night (it was a late night adventure with a few flight issues, but not the worst on record...) and then headed to dad's on the 23rd. we did the usual-ish christmas thing and i very much enjoyed bonding with my little sister on christmas eve. :)

christmas itself was pretty fun too. not a lot of excitement, a little napping and wii playing. oh and northstar wine. yay!!

on the 26th mom and i flew down here to florida to see family. we didnt really do a lot of exciting things- just spending time with grandpa and grandma and then with uncle steve, cory, and kelly. uncle steve, the boys, mom, and i did go to tampa one night- which included go-karts and lots of sports watching. lol. oh man.

so... here i am. airport. again.

i'll be back to the mitten just in time for new year's eve celebrating- which will consist of a very 14 year old-esque slumber party. lol. amanda kelly's coming over, and we're really just going to hang out, play wii, watch tv, and eat mozzerella sticks, and talk about boys?? lol. i'm looking forward to it.

hopefully tomorrow i will get to see elisabeth...

and saturday... well... um, see murphy got a puppy this week... so i'm going to see it... in washington. until jan 19.

don't judge me.

i moved my wisdom teeth extraction to jan 20.. so pretty much recovery from jan 20-24.. and back to work for the 25th. *phew!* so much for a "break". but it's ok. i love my life. and i wouldnt have it any other way.

2009, you were good to me. thanks for everything. lots of great friends, firsts (waterskiing, downhill skiing, disneyland...) and sweet experiences (cheese shop, wine tasting, wilderness trips, dance parties...)

there's so much to experience in 2010. can't wait. bring it.

"i can't stop partyin, partying, i gotta have the drum, i gotta have the beat...no sleep, no stop, i am always on a mission..." weezer, can't stop partying
