I feel it in my bones
Tonight my boss M. made mention of the fact that I'm going to be 27 years old this year. I have to admit that it hurt to hear. I mean, it really bummed me out. It is quite true and I guess truth does hurt but it seemed to be worse tonight for whatever reason. I wouldn't mind it so much I guess if it didn't seem that people younger then me, all around me, are passing me up in life. It seems to be the season. I don't begrudge them. I'm happy for all my friends. It's just hard to be left behind. I hate treading water, especially when it's stagnating swamp water with frogs and water skippers and slimy algae that I seem to be stuck in. I don't want to pathetic but tonight I'm tired and I'm sick and I wish I was somewhere in life where I didn't have to be sick and tired and take care of myself, by my self. Oh well. Enough moping. Maybe I should go plan an adventure so someone will be jelouse of me for once instead of so often the other way around...

Ouch!
I went snowboarding this weekend. It was great fun but I forgot how much pain I end up in. I think it would be a lot less painful if I went more then once or twice a season and so could get a little better at it, but I'll still take what I can get. I went with K. the only girl I love and adore outside the fam and she is a snowboard instructer. She's very patient and very kind and I'm very greatful. On a different yet interesting note, yesterday I went to dinner with a friend at his uncles house. It was a lot of fun and the joke turns out to be that I had actually been to his cousins house before about 5 years or so ago and had exchanged a few letters with one of my friends cousins. Such a small world. On another different yet personal note, this same friend pointed out in all kindness that I'm very good at avoidence. He said this as I told him that I hadn't ever brought someone to a family dinner, as I covered the clock and odomoter in my car with stickie notes and as I covered my eyes when he backed down the steep and icy drive way. Hmm... Interesting. A lot of evedince in one night to agree... I'll have to look into that further.

Belly Dancing
I don't know if I've told you this yet or not but the past eight weeks I've been taking a belly dancing class. It's been a lot of fun and I've learned a lot of great things such as "rolling undulations" and "the three-quarter shimmy" ( a personal fave...) Anyway, I'm off in about 10 minutes to go to a Belly Dancing Expo at the State Fair grounds in SLC to see a bunch of professionals. Pictures I'm sure will follow. I get made fun of a lot for this with my Buds and the Q. but I've got to tell you, I just don't care. When I do that 3/4 Shimmy, all my troubles shake off with each shake of my hip. Yee Haw!

Slacker
So, I've been a little remiss lately in writing here... I've had some great things going on but I have been so busy I haven't had a chance to sit down for two minutes and let you all in on it. The biggest thing was this last weekend I went to Colorado with all of the Adventure Buddies to visit Adventure Matt. He is doing really great. It was great fun to get to drive down there, swim in a hotel pool, visit with good friends, catch up a bit. I love road tripping especially with these guys. Absolute riots, all of them. So, now here I am back in Provo and wondering what I'm going to do next. On the horizion...? I think I'm going to get my tickets to Hawaii in the next week or so. June is reserved for Alaska and this just in... I think I'm going to do a Breast Cancer Research walk in Boston in the Fall. It is a 60 mile walk, it's 2500$ to be allowed to walk with all proceeds going to research. I've got 3 girlfriends who want to do this and we are trying to get a local corporate sponser. I think it will be great fun if it all works out. We'll see. In the mean time though, business as usual.
