At any rate, the reason why I never post is because nothing is ever going on. Dull life, that's me.
A couple of weekends ago, my parents came down and my mom finished my coat for me. It's beautiful, and I LOVE it!! I also got many compliments on it at work. :D I started making a tank top, and now is the perfect time to finish it while the kit-kits are at their grandparents', but... I guess I have no motivation. That same weekend Cory came over from Stout and Andrea came down from the north side of the cities. We went to eat at El Lorro (I was very disappointed this time! :*( ) and then went to shoot some darts at Prairie Pub. I got VERY frustrated because I was doing so poorly. I'm afraid I was a bad sport. I apologize once again, Cory and Andrea. After that we came back here and watched a movie. So we didn't have a wild and crazy night out at the bars, but that's ok too. It was just good to hang out with them again!
This past weekend we went to Shaun's parents' house. Yaaay for 6.5 hour car rides. The drive across the cities took over an hour (1/2 in good traffic). Even the back road was jammed up. We didn't do a whole lot while we were there, but that's ok. It was just nice getting to see them again. Shaun was happy, though, because he got tool chests for his birthday. So, yaaay Shaun.
I had a job interview today, I think it went ok. So the interviewing starts. Keep your fingers crossed for me! :D

Adult life :p
I realized that there are a lot of things that I don't say on here because there could be people reading this that could be concerned, or there could be uncomfortable questions asked. I have decided that there is no point in having a blog if I can't even be honest on the most impersonal thing around: the internet. I am not doing this for attention, I just think that it would be a relief to put this out there and get it off of my chest. Like a public diary. On to the crux of the matter...
The more I think about it, the more I realize how much fun I had back in college, and how NOT fun my life now is. I was a lot happier with myself back in school, and now I am so down about myself I can't believe it. I'm second-guessing myself, trying to justify most of my actions, attempt to make jokes about it but it;s actually because I am worried about it. Abby at work gets mad at me because I get down on myself but - I can't help it. I try adjusting my behavior(s), and yet nothing changes. I tell myself that it's due to certain situations in my life that make things more difficult but when it all boils down: I have no excuse. I am just going to have to start evaluating my actions and behaviors and decide what I want more: happiness in the short term, or in the long term. All I know is that if I continue in this vein for much longer I will be an extremely unpleasant person to be around. Don't get me wrong, I can put on a pretty good front when I want, but... I am not a happy person, and I have no one to blame but myself. I try making jokes about it all, but it's just a facade. I just don't feel like I am successful at anything in my life. I had such big hopes and dreams for myself in college, and (not) shockingly enough, so many things have gone differently than I had imagined in my naivety. Not all bad, mind you (but some of it, yes) just different. I guess what they say about the best-laid plans is true in my case. And yes, most likely in most cases as well, but for once couldn't I be an exception? I struggled so hard through school (when most people were screwing off, partying and drinking and sleeping their college careers away) but I thought that it'd get a liiiiiitle bit easier. I know, pity party for one. I apologize if this is just one big pity party, and you're all probably thinking 'Want some cheese with that whine?' but... I figured I'd tell you all what I am thinking and whatnot so that if you are wondering why I am not the bubbly person that I was in college you all would know...

Catchup
Once again, I have been remiss in keeping this updated, but I must say that on the whole we have a rather... mundane life. I will hit upon the highlights...
The weekend of January 21st we and a bunch of friends went to the Upper Peninsula to have fun and celebrate our anniversary. It was a good time, I played Wii and Guitar Hero and whatnot, and us girls relaxed in the cabin while all the guys went snowboarding/skiing. Shaun hurt himself, as he usually does whenever he does something somewhat strenuous. The he complains about it for the following two weeks while it still twinges when he moves a certain way. Ah, well. The hot tub was really nice to sit in at night, but with the wind whistling by and with the freezing cold temperatures our hair froze solid.
Valentine's day we ate at Sunsets in Wayzata, it was delicious. I had the prime rib. It'd been a while since I'd eaten any, and it melted in my mouth. Combine that with garlic mashed potatoes, and it was neaaaarly heaven.
A couple of weekends ago we went up to Hinckley, me to make a jacket and for Shaun to go to an ice fishing contest with my dad, brother, and a family friend. Well, the jacket was waaaay too advanced for me to sew, so my mom and I worked on it while the guys went ice fishing. Poor guys, the wind was blowing very hard and they froze themselves near to death. Ok, not really. But they were very cold and ended up having hardly anything to show for it. The largest fish was 4.5 lbs, and the smallest was just under half a pound. There were 50 prizes. The guys didn't get anything.
Thursday night I was driving to south Minneapolis (all by myself, which I never ever do) to help a guy from work - I was going to show him and a few people from his church how to take better digital photos. Anyway, on my drive there I got lost, so I called Shaun, who was at a bar. So I called Abby, my friend from work, and she talked me through. I was approximately three blocks away when my radio turned off. I looked down at my dash and the lights were nearly off. So I pulled over (luckily I was on a side street) and turned off my car. I had noticed the previous weekend that as I was driving my headlights were dimming and brightening, so it wasn't completely expected. I was just worried because I was in a somewhat... rundown.... condition. As I was walking up the street to tell Shaun what cross street I was on, I saw car window glass busted in the street. So after I found what street was the next one up, I hustled back to my car. Shaun got there finally, and started my car. He tried convincing me to drive my car as we were watching the lights slowly dimmed. I didn't feel comfortable doing that. Shaun then realized that he left his AAA card in Eden Prairie, so we had to drive there and then he met the tow truck guy in Minneapolis, and he let me stay at home. It was a very stressful evening, the one time I go out of my comfort zone to do something, and then I end up having a car issue.
Friday night Rob invited us to go hang out at Deegan's house in Isanti. While they were at the stupid move (Reno911 Miami) Shaun and I ate at Acapulco. I ordered a strawberry margarita, and when our server asked me top shelf, and was indicating a height, I said yes. Shaun got a Dos Equis bottle. Well, the guy came back with Shaun's bottle and my 36 (!) ounce BEER. Shaun gave me an incredulous look when the server walked away that I hadn't set him straight about the adult beverage I was served. I told him that I thought that it was a sign and decided to try beer. I had Shaun taste a sip of it, and he pronounced it Miller Genuine Draft swill. I drank it, and somewhat happily. Only because it had no taste. When we went up to play beer pong, I sat and watched until I saw them pressuring Shaun into playing it also. So then I decided I had to step up to the plate and take one for the team to make it home safely what with all the snow and whatnot. So I played beer pong for the first time in my life. And swilled the Bud Light. We won, and made it home safely.
I have some ranting and raving to do, but I shall save that for the next update, as well as some photos.....
Edit: If you don't know what beer pong is, check this out.Shaun had a bottle of Dos Equis 5 hours previously, so he was alright to drive.

Photoblog time!
I thought that I'd catch you all up on my life for the last while. I think it's amusing that 'photoblog' is short for 'I'm too lazy to actually type anything so I'll just post some pictures and write a short caption if you're lucky and that's going to have to make you all happy because I am not embellishing on it at ALL for you.'
I love you guys, really. Sorry I'm lazy. If you have any questions please call me. ;-)
And I'm sorry I didn't take any pictures while I was at the Sapalas'. I slacked off.
On a side note: I think this girl is amazing. She did paintings/airbrushings of the 7 deadly sins and also some illustrations of classic Greek myths. They're gorgeous. Find her at: http://blackeri.deviantart.com/store/ I'm sure you won't like some of it, but I am stunned at the amount of detail that she put into these works. You should browse deviant art for other artwork that you might possibly like. It's a good thing.
