the good, the bad, and the skinny

november through january always seems to be so busy. between being out of town and all those fun, holiday family obligations, it was hard to find down time. then january was slammed with work because our clients got new budgets and needed things done as soon as possible. therefore, a huge lack of blogging occurred. not that it matters.

to get caught up, i thought i'd share some highlights of what has happened during that time: we went to hawaii (which is truly paradise), i broke my finger (because i can't catch a football), we majorly stocked our bar (because of new year's), i battled my mom on going to church (that's always fun), i got a generous bonus and raise (which is greatly appreciated) so we got a laptop (finally!), i attended a bacon party (which might require further explanation), i watched a horribly depressing husker game in the freezing cold (eff the west coast offense) and didn't get on tv with my awesome "D" "UMB" sign (eff fox), my brother found a girlfriend (yey!), i learned that i know how to steer into a skid (thank goodness), i got to was forced to hold a baby for the second time in my life (and didn't drop it), i almost joined a gym (then remembered how lazy i am), i realized how much i really enjoy doing problem-solving puzzles (what's wrong with me?), i discovered that i might actually be decent at taking pictures (after blowing through about 100 shots on one sunset), i accidentally drank every night for about a week and a half straight (oops), i realized how sweet my father-in-law and cousin-in-law truly are (for scooping all the snow from my driveway without telling me), i started taking vitamins (which make me hurl if i don't eat when taking them), i found out that two friends of mine are pregnant and two friends of mine are getting divorced (multiplication & division), and i have been laughing my ass of at the most recent episodes of "the office" and "extras" (brilliant!).
