Spilled Coffee

I am grumpy this morning and I just sat down at my desk, decided to try and have a positive attitude, took a sip of coffee and BAM. I spilled coffee all over myself and parts of my desk. Krupa came to my rescue with her awesome stain stick but now all I am smelling is that damn stain stick. So that is my fun story. Arent you glad I blogged this morning?

I have been really bad about blogging. My life is a little bit of a mess right now and so I dont always feel like anything I do is "blog worthy." I have traveled a lot lately and got to see Mandy, Susie and Tyler in Canada! I had a lot of fun and got to watch my fist ironman. I got to know Mark a lot better and he is an awesome guy. Now I know how perfect him and Susie are for each other :) I met new friends as well like Allison and Ramsey, who are more intense with the working out thing than I am! I also met Scott who is very funny, and a nice guy. I was able to see pretty mountains, and water and I slept in a VW van for 2 nights... oh yeah... I know you are jealous. Thank you for a great time although I did come back exhausted and not wanting to work and did I mention that I miss you guys?

I came back to Canada, worked for 2 days and then headed to Minn. to visit my friend Rachel for her bachelorette party weekend. It was a nice relaxing time and Minn is cozy, beautiful and fit for Rachel and Dales new life together! I met Rachels sister Abra and her friend Susie. We are all very different in our own ways but also similiar in a lot of other ways. I think it is cool to see what aspects of ourselves Rachel can pull out and "mesh" with. It shows a lot about her character and how diverse she can be, but at the same time holds on to certain qualities and morals.

So now I am back from jet setting, sitting in my cube pondering life. All these trips have really made me think. I feel like I am going backwards right now. Everyone that I have seen in the last couple of weeks seems to have things figured out and is settled into a nice life. I am just floating, hating my job, too busy to get shit done, and stressing about the smallest things. I mean I know I am making it sound like I just hate life but that isnt it. I am just at a crossroads. I am very lucky to have things that I have and to be able to even think as much as I do about things, but at the same time I need to figure things out so that I can be happy... not just content and so that others around me can be happy :) I think the main downer in my life is my job. I am tired of being stuck, tired of being unmotivated and bored. I want to be a go getter. I want to be proactive and take charge and to lead my team into new things. But I feel like I am drowning in quick sand and it is starting to suck the life right out of me. Anyway that is enough complaining for now.
