she said i think i'll go to boston

email late last night said that they're sending me and our mktg dude to a conference in 1.5 weeks! my first big girl business trip. i'm so excited. plus, it's in BOSTON... and i definitely loved that place last time i was there. although, i don't think that this trip will be even remotely as, ... ummm..., how are we describing that last trip? exciting? chaotic? random?... whatever it was, i'm sure this one won't be nearly that.

it'll only be one night, but if there's a simi in the house...let me know your digits :)

so take the photographs and still frames in your mind

we were playing airplane... she was having so much fun. smiling turned into a frown and then not good stuff... i was ok with the little babe's drool all over, but throwing up on me is where i draw the line. i mean, really!

my sister graduated on friday. mom seems pretty happy about the empty nest, but dad... well, i think he may take to the bottle. ...i'm joking (maybe). all 4 of my siblings will be in college next year. scary!

10.5 months ago, some inappropriate words were said, this weekend there was an apology. it was fabulous! and quite funny.

i think i may be looking forward to the wig and fishnets that will be happening this coming weekend.... maybe.

it's murder on the dance floor

ok, i've made a pretty huge mistake in my concentration today. shuffling through my CD stash (yes, i'm one of those people who does not have an ipod and is reliant on the radio and my trusty disc collection) i found a SSC 2004 title. and i stuck it in and am now completely distracted with @ dances. and have also started singing them out loud, even though i don't know the words... i sound things out and go with it..

it does bring a tear to my eye that i can't remember all of the moves anymore. :(

too high to get over, too low to get under

not sure what it is these days. perhaps because the frigid MN winter has melted away and the world is getting green around me. perhaps i'm simply in a better place than i have been in a while. i'm not quite sure what's causing all this business, but i'm just plain, straight up, happy right now.

things are happening around me...and to me. i'm looking toward beautiful horizons coming up here right quick.

in the meantime, i'm going to be over here, basking in the sunshine with a large pearly white grin.

it's such a good vibration

this past week has been one of the best in quite a while. just as a whole. it's been pretty darn happy.

things have moved around in the office and i'm currently working on some awesome marketing things, not just working on customer service. this makes me show my pearly whites more than usual!

friday happy hour with the team and a connie/mary/rowen day yesterday!

it's been a good week!

i'm gonna drive and never ever slow down


sucked out, originally uploaded by conniemg6.

we were missing one, but there is something about that group of friends that you can be brutally honest with, crazy, fun, ...just you. thanks, girls!

another night at the ball park. theres something about being there. growing up in a very softball/baseball driven family had implanted a love for the game. the atmosphere is addictive and i'm pretty sure that i wouldn't hate going every day. ...that would probably help with my attention span too.

i looked over my sholder and i saw a clown

as per usual in all that has happened thus far in life, i'm over thinking things...

but i still think holly was right, and 25 WILL be fabulous.

and i will be the one who sticks around

if i've learned one thing this week, it's that everyone's perceptions of the same thing are just a little different. no matter how alike, they're just a little different...

i never knew, but apparently that one really good guy friend with whom i've always ONLY been friends with, had been thought by others as a boyfriend of mine. i had no idea that anyone ever thought that. was a total "...huh...really?" moment.


also, an epiphany came upon a coworker today about a "new and different" way of talking about the product at hand. all i could do is give a blank stare. this "new and different" way has been the exact way that i've been using for the last 6 months. ... hmm... go get'em tiger! i guess it's time for me to find a new and different way again.

it's t-storming here now and all i want to do is be at home snuggled in bed with a good book or movie and a glass of red wine. alas, driving to WI for the weekend will have to do.
