Forty-two!?

Tell me all your thoughts on God

As it often does, the subject of God, Religion and general Beliefs came up during last night’s dinner conversations.  One of the conversers remarked that he believed because the human mind could not comprehend or did not yet understand what caused certain events and happenings in life - that those people reconciled those events and or moments as being of God or of say the Devil.  The funniest quote of the night spawned from this conversation:

"I don't believe that, I can't explain to you how AT&T works and I don't think that they are a GOD......However, I would go so far as to say they are the Devil"

Ahhhh Classic!

And on a personal note, I did have to interject and pose that his thought process worked both ways - the counter to his comment was that just because he did not believe in a God, a higher power, an energy source of some kind and or chose not to give it a name also did not mean it does not exist.  OH the Conundrum.  I must say that it was nice to have a conversation where everyone’s opinions were respected and there was no very little eye rolling. 

Spinning wildly out of control...OR

"One day I feel like it's spinning wildly out of control and the next, it's just moving really really fast"

~GR (June 2004 over lunch: NOT Chipotle -shock I know)

I work a lot, a whole freaking lot, I haven't had a Vacation of longer than 3 days in over 2 years, and, I'm tired...

It happened, it happened last Friday.  The feeling, the spinning wildly out of control feeling.  Then that phrase pops into my mind and I laugh that's what we thought back THEN hahahahahahahahah!!!!

My thought process goes like this:

• I sit here tonight thinking of how much catching up I need to do to my blog.
• Forget catching up so many events I need to work on and post that are upcoming; ADVENTURE FRIENDS season is here.
• Wow my blog is a year old I have to organize and archive by year now. 
• Thinking of years, I've hit the 14th month mark of living downtown.
• Wholly cripes we are almost through March, THREE months into the year are you kidding?
• In 3 more months I'll have been at NG for 2 years
• TWO YEARS???  Wow, so so soo much has happened in my life, in my company - and it's not slowing down! 

Breath in, breath out

Yah it's moving really really fast =)

The wheels are still on the bus... but the next stop for this mechanic is MEXICO.

Did You Just Call Me FAT?????

A little flirt never hurt...

So as many of you may (or may not) know, I'm a single woman.  At 33 (yup I'm not ashamed of my age!) I've found myself for the first time in MY ADULT LIFE single for more than a month or two (it's been 7 months and counting).  Now, understand I'm all good with this it's just definitely a new experience for me.  I'm really excited and happy to be dating - something I've never really done, and to come home to my very own house that "I LOVE".  It's a fulfilling and good place for me to be in right now.  So to add a little more fun to my Blog I thought I'd share a few tidbits going forward of the fun, not fun and just real lifeness of a single woman in Denver.  It's all in good fun and heck if I can laugh at it why couldn't you! 

Today's event:  A little flirt never hurt....

This weekend I've going on a Camping/Climbing/Rafting/Chuckwagginin' Dinner Trip!  This is an annual event and we are expecting no joke 45 people.  (For reference of which I know probably 1/3.  I'm VERY excited because I'm going to do all this ON MY OWN... Yup pitch the tent, Raft for the first time EVER in my life, cook all my meals, etc. etc.   Yes, I've camped before, I've "helped" put up the tent but folks, I'm on my own here!  Sure Sure I'll bat my eyelashes a little here and there...  But for the most part, it's all me baby!  So in this process, my biggest pitfall is that I drive a Miata.  Yah, not so hot for camping!  So I sent out an email to the whole group asking if anyone wanted to carpool and I'd help defer the cost of gas for this 3 1/2 hour drive.   I had several offers from my various friends and decided on someone.  I sent an email out letting everyone know I was taken care of now and thanks for all the offers!  Later that day I get the following IM from one of my single guy friends going on the trip....

DS: So, I'm not your camping buddy anymore?

AT:  Ya snooze ya loose buddy.  I would have been great entertainment and you would have had me all to yourself for three and a half hours.

DS:  ARRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!  Kick your ride to the curb...   I was in NY I didn't get your email in time!

AT:  No ride curb kicking!  Be nice or I'll put rocks in your sleeping bag.

DS:  Won't that hurt your back?

AT:  BAD BAD (name deleted to protect the not so "innocent" as you can tell) starting already are we?

DS:  I can't help it!  Ok shhhh...  focus....

AT:  Besides, I wouldn't be the one being the rock buffer...

And chaaaching... like that she wins the repartee once again!

Hail Hail, the rains all here!
