Work has been a bit crazy lately. My brain feels like it is loose and bouncing around in my head … I hope it gets better.

I am actually starting to get excited for my birthday… While I was running this morning I could not help but get a little reflective on the last year of my life and all of the things that I thought I would be doing with myself when I was turning 31… Hahahaha… I FEEL like I am turning 25, so I am right on schedule

Have I told you how much I love the band Vampire Weekend? Well, I do.

BBQ

This dude (Jeff) at work had a GREAT idea to have a summer BBQ tour of all of the best places in town. The idea is that we draw a name out of a hat each week and eat there on Thursday for lunch… Steve and I decided to keep notebooks chronicling the tour with all of our notes and ratings.
