Remember my song of the month?

It just came on and I was doing a little dance here in front of my computer while performing my audit test work.  Only problem is that I am sitting across from my more senior co-worker who probably thinks I am crazy right now.

Totally worth it!

Blogger question...

How come sometimes I can subscribe to comments of the blog I am commenting on ....and other times I can't? I know sometimes I get a comment back from the blog owner - but I wouldn't know that unless I went back and checked.

Can people subscribe to get the replies on my blog? Let me know what I can do to fix it if they can't. I like that feature and use it whenever I can.

Highs and Lows of 2010

Highs:

• January: Started off the new year with a kiss from my love. No better way, right?
• February: Awesome 25th birthday! We went to teppanyaki and then headed over to a dive bar which just so happened to have karaoke and I had just had enough to drink to sing a few songs!  Then when rock & bowl started at 10pm we all went over to the bowling alley.  I had so much fun that I decided to do the same thing this year. I will be doing this same mash up February 5.  Look forward to a fun update ;-)  Oh - AND I got a Kindle from my love for this birthday which = amazing! I love my Kindle.
• April: Had some time to myself...had to be off of work on short term disability for the whole month so I got a lot of me time to sit on the couch and think.
• May: Went to an amazing young adult retreat in Colorado mountains.  LOVED IT. I could totally see myself ending up in Denver one day. (Yes...even though it snows!)
• 
• June: CAMP CAMP CAMP! Camp is always my high for the year. I love it and this year was my 2nd year directing the camp. It is a camp for 7th grade - graduated senior and they are a great bunch of kids. I love camp. 
• September: Brad Paisley concert - almost front row...touched him. AH. I hope he does another tour this year after his new CD is released. I love B.P. and I love his concerts and he is gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous.  I also visited Nashville for the first time during the American Society of Women Accountants' national conference.  I got to attend the conference for free because my local chapter voted me to receive the free pass we had received. I also got my flight paid for by Henry & Horne (the company I work for) because it was for continuing education...Nashville absolutely rocked my socks off. I think my favorite things was going to the Bluebird Cafe and sitting in the pews while listening to local song writers...so amazing.
• 
• October: Went to the balloon fiesta and met up with the young adults, many of whom are my camp counselors during the summer.  I loved hanging out with all of them.  I hope this turns into a yearly reunion/retreat.
• 
• 
• November: Participated in the Breast Cancer 3 day...I didn't make it all 60 miles...but made it over half of the way! Next time I do it, I am sure I will be all healed up from knee surgery and will make it the whole way :) 
• 
• December: Trip to Canada for work turned out awesome when I met up with a board gaming group and got to learn some new games.  Also had an amazing holiday season with my family and ended the year at a jr. high/sr. high overnighter on new year's even! So much fun.

Lows:

• March: Surgery. Had to completely replace my ACL (I no longer had one is what the doc said...it was completely torn) and then he scoped the inside of my right knee's meniscus and repaired the outside.  I'm still going to physical therapy for it and it is a crazy long recovery process. Hopefully I'll be back up and playing sports soon though!  

Wow that was a great exercise. I obviously had a great 2010. I hope 2011 is even more awesome.  What was the number 1 favorite high from 2010 for you?

Oh Australia - how I *think* I love you...

Day 11 of my 30 days of randomocity was yesterday...I know. I am a day behind.  I do however have a good excuse.  As all of you know (and one of you felt inclined to point out to me...fair enough since I pointed out Duke last time) KU lost at home against Texas.  They have a record of 69 straight wins at home though and that is something incredible! It had to happen eventually and I'm just glad it wasn't against someone like K-State :-) Plus, now maybe they won't lose to NORTHERN IOWA during March Madness because they are getting losses out during regular season :P haha. Anyway....


I really want to visit Australia.  I think the Australian accent is one of the cutest accents in the world and I haven't met an Australian that I don't like. (I am sure they exist...but to this day I haven't met him or her). For example - my friend Hamish from college is from Australia. I would go anywhere just to hang out with him again. I miss him. Flights to Australia are expensive though and I don't have enough vacation to make a decent trip over there.  Maybe I can do something like that in between jobs if I ever change jobs. Just take some time off. Anyway, here is a picture of my lovely friend Hamish stolen from Facebook:

Also, aside from amazing friends and the accents...Australia has kangaroos and koalas and is very pretty. Who wouldn't want to visit there?

F-r-i-d-a-y....

Day 10: Bullet your whole day


I was supposed to bullet my day yesterday for the blog so here it goes. Don't go to sleep please!

• Woke up with Jasper laying on the pillow next to me.
• Drove an hour in really bad traffic to my client.
• Work....work...work.
• Lunch at Moe's.  (I had a homewrecker with no tortilla and of course the chips and queso)
• Work....work...work.
• Drove an hour in really bad traffic to my house.
• Tried to do some yoga but the dvd player wouldn't work.
• Did my dishes and straightened up the house (just not my bedroom).
• Packed a bag with clothes for Saturday and got Jasper ready to go.
• Drove to the boy's house for the evening.
• Did yoga at the boy's house because his dvd player worked.
• Ate amazingly delicious dinner that the boy made me for our "date" night.
• Watched Big Love and Modern Family episodes from the previous week. If you don't watch Modern Family you should...it had me giggling soooo much last night!
• Blogged a song list instead of a bullet of my day. Figured I could do that Saturday.
• Went to bed.

Yes. I know my life is boring. What makes your life better? ;) Anyway, I'm watching the KU vs. Texas game. 

ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!

Texas has never won at Allen Fieldhouse and KU is undefeated overall and both teams are undefeated in conference play.  This should be a good game.  I think we are about to head to the bar so we can watch the Washington game as well (my boy went to Washington for undergrad...UCLA for grad).

Enjoy college basketball today! Tonight's Michigan State vs Purdue should be a great game! I have a birthday dinner to go to at 5pm and then have to go to another birthday party after that but hopefully will have a tv available at both to watch the games!

ANOTHER SONG LIST, SHELBY? Why yes....yes it is.
