The first 3 months of 07 have flown by already. So here is a statement on just how the first quarter has been treating me. It is really amazing how fast time flies. My year started with a whimper but has been catching momentum ever since. I spent New Years Eve in a very low key manner but just 5 days later I was on a flight to Vegas. And Vegas just happens to be my favorite place in the country, but this trip was not just about Vegas, Vegas was the appetizer to the Phoenix, AZ main course of college football’s National Championship game. Scott and I took a late flight that got us to Vegas around 11 pm, checked into our hotel, the lovely Hooters hotel and Casino, and wandered around for a bit, he and I were actually still out when our friends were boarding their flight the next morning back in DC. Since I am not much of a sleeper to begin with and since I was in Vegas I was still up to meet those same friends when they finally arrived later that day. I also had breakfast by myself, which would be sad if I didn’t do it all the time while traveling. Back on point, subtracting the first 5 days of the year and fast forwarding to the Vegas/Phoenix trip my year got started in the best way possible with drinking, partying, football, tailgates and of course victory. The high from that trip remained for the rest of January and very little else happened: I entered a weight loss competition at work for the simple reason that I thought I could win even with less weight to lose than everyone else, I celebrated a friends bachelor party in DC, re-watched the Championship game, and started growing out my hair.
(Speaking of hair, after growing it out for ten weeks, all I can say is that I find it very distracting. All it has really done has made my time to get ready longer, and I spend half the day rubbing my hands through my hair for the novelty of actually having enough to do that. Plus, the whole shampoo and conditioner thing is twice as long as the hop out of shower and shave thing, and now I am always late.)
February was a short, inactive month, which was too cold for me to enjoy. Still some big decisions were made for the future and another one of my good friends got married. I did start this new blog after leaving my old one and planned a two week trip to Florida in March. The wedding in the Keys was great but other than that there was little of significance that actually happened. Although, somewhere along the way I think I got a hernia that I still need to take care of. This brings us to March.
I spent March avoiding cold weather, stressing out with my family and spending time with enough females to fill my quota for the year. Mostly I just drove around a lot, spent two nights in an awesome hotel room and ate out a lot. Then finished the month by watching my Gators take home another championship in basketball, actually it ended April 2nd but most of the tournament was played in March. So, looking forward to the next three months I wonder what’s on the agenda for me. As of right now it seems I will be having hernia surgery, getting the first haircut I have had in 5 years and settling in for a couple of months. I also hope to make it to NY for a weekend, plan on being fairly busy at work and possibly joining in on the Memorial Day trip to Dewey beach. But first this weekend is looking like an interesting one, with movies, music and the possibility for a lunch or coffee or something that is a seriously bad idea.
