Some work changes might be happening to me in a few months. It’s not set in stone yet but if it does happen I’ll be happy for new experiences. But at the same time, I’ll be sad. I hate changes. They freak me out.

39 days until my brother’s wedding! I still have to help mum find her second dress, find myself a second dress if I can, make the slideshow video, and all these other random things I don’t even remember on top of my head.

71 days until our trip! Did y’all hear about the explosion in Thailand that occurred on Monday? The parents are freaking out and telling us we should cancel our Phuket plans. Knowing Sissy and BIL, I doubt they will so I won’t.

For the first time in our lives, Mallory and I made plans for the same day in less than ten minutes. That never happens. And the fact that we were meeting up in a couple hours from making the plans was even more surprising.

We decided on Next Door Lounge – our old happy hour place – where we had two sangrias each and shared four different snack bites. Mashed potatoes with mini meatballs, roasted cauliflower, roasted brussels sprouts, and homemade potato chips. The brussels sprouts knocked our usual love of homemade potato chips out the water. They tasted like candy due to the sweet chili sauce.

We hadn’t hung out in over a month which didn’t seem long until we started to catch each other up with everything that’s been happening. It’s crazy how just a year ago we would hang out at least once a week if not more and now we never see each other! Hoping our future plans to go to a concert follow through even though it’s not until next March. If it does, I’ll pee in my pants from happiness.

I’m always thankful for those that reach out and make time for me especially when I shut the world out and live in my own bubble.

What I did for a while upon coming home Sunday. Just laying with Rizzo and not doing anything. He was willing to let me squeeze him so he must of missed me a lot!

Yesterday went by fairly quickly which was surprising because I wasn’t fully concentrating at work. After dinner at Sissy’s, I went and picked up Sebastian a block from his workplace so we could go to the studio. I don’t understand how he can just eat at a restaurant by himself. It took a lot of time to build up the courage for me to even go to the coffee shop and sit there by myself to work on graphic designing stuff. Maybe one day though. I heard it’s a pretty great experience. 

A 10 minute ride to the studio ended up being 20 partly because we’re not paying attention but mostly because he has the worst sense of direction. I always end up listening to him and we always get lost.

Upon entering the studio, everyone was taking selfies with pinata Ed. Ed wasn’t going to make this taping we so decided to dedicate this episode to him where we end up smashing his head … filled with trash … with a bat. It was a good episode. A lot of laughs and smooth sailing.

I’ve been asked what I do at the studio. And my answer is pretty much anything and everything. I’ve done it all except be on screen. I’ve been on screen in the past before this show and I can honestly say I like it better in the background. I get a headset and mostly just boss people around during the show. After the show, I point out the positives and negatives and advise them on what to do to make everything better. It’s been rough but we’re slowly getting there.

We’re putting a vote to see if we want to do a Season 4. I’ve mentioned I might not show up every episode but I know Ed and John will call for advice if I’m not there so I’ll have my hand in it either way.

Afterward, Mick, Sebastian, and I went to Tout Suite while everyone else went to a bar. We spent awhile there just talking about girls and traveling and plain nonsense. This is only the second time I’ve met Mick but I can now say I know a professional tennis player on top of already knowing professional basketball players. I’m awesome, I know.

Anytime I have to take Sebastian back to his car, we have a good 30+ minutes to catch up. We always talk about the most random things but it’s usually relationships, music, and weddings. Apparently I’m a flirt like him which surprised me since I’m always told I suck at it. Plus a lot of the times I only talk to people to be nice. We’re thinking of possibly doing open mic night but that’s up in the air. We shall see.

Overall, it wasn’t as bad of a Monday as I thought it’ll be. Hopefully the rest of the week is just as great.

How is the weekend already over?

This year has been going by so fast since most of my weekends have been taken up. All I want to do is travel.

Have you heard about Gunnar Garfors? He traveled to all 198 countries before turning 40. You can read an article on that here.

So … who wants to be my travel buddy? Teehee

How I felt on the ride back from the Big D.

It was a pretty chill bachelorette party overall since we did the crazy pre-bachelorette back in December. Possibly more on this weekend’s festivites some time this week.

Off to run errands before the week begins. Hope y’all had a great weekend!

Until next time,

Just kidding.

Currently living the suite life this weekend celebrating a soon-to-be Mrs.

Be back soonsies!

Pretty much how I felt yesterday (actually … most days haha) after my computer decided, “Nope, I’m done for today.” And killed itself. 2 hours of work unsaved, windows all gone. I was so irritated by the IT guy, I wanted to jump over his desk and drop kick him in the face for stopping every few minutes to text. By the time I got back to my desk, I couldn’t be bothered by anyone or anything. I kind of just … zoned out until it was time to leave. I guess I finally learned to care a little less about work.

I sent this picture to Sissy and asked if she still wanted to do elephant tours through the jungle when we get to Thailand. I don’t want to witness that pressure nor flooding. haha The last time we did a family trip was back in 2006 when my brother graduated from high school so I’m excited every single one of us is finally able to get together to do a trip. Although we’re not all going to Thailand together, at least we get to spend time with Mum’s side of the family together. I just hope I can get to Victoria Peak this time.

This … their voices. The ability to make music with just that. I could watch/listen to acapella forever. Gah … I wish I was this talented.
