Only one post in January???

Ok - this is weak - I started this blog hoping I would keep on actively adding stuff to it, and here we are, Jan 31st and I see only one entry for the month - well, now there are two... A little randomness about everything and nothing - was an exhausting and entertaining week at work - majority of my days spent in a hotel meeting room discussing Insurance stuff, visiting with our out of town sales and service reps, and having dinners in the evening... totally burned out... how did I do this back in the day - working for the fest, twelve, fourteen, eighteen hour days, days on end, for weeks in the summer??? I guess once I left that world and adjusted, I liked having a life outside of work... not that being in meetings all day and dinners at night was bad - not at all - just pooped me out :) It's always great to see everyone and learn a little more about what it is we do - us creative marketing gals absorb it in and it helps when contemplating campaigns and such.

Anywoodle - life in WI, it's supposed to get up as high as 31 today - woo hoo - heat wave! I'm off to take on the day, later on tonight I have a game night to go over to which usually involves fits of laughter... totally looking forward to it...

cold

It's really f'ing cold out. I'm really tired of the cold. I should remember this when it's 100 degrees in the summertime and we are all complaining about the heat, oh the stifling heat... hopefully my car will start - she's been a little fussy with this bitter cold weather - I'm sure I need a new battery as I'm about due for a new one (of course). I am, however, incredibly grateful to have a warm place to rest my head in while mother nature freezes our state... I do enjoy the wide variation of weather in Wisconsin, but sometimes - as is human nature - you just get a little weary after awhile...

I am off to start the car, take her for a drive to warm her up and probaby pop over at Target to find a box to organize my photos in. I've suddenly been on a kick to scan in old pictures and add them to my Facebook acct because it's fun to remember all those past events. I'm a little frustrated with myself that my old photos are here - there - everywhere in misc boxes, wedged in old photo albums, MIA... Also sad that I hated having my picture taken for so long, thus I have limited photos of my teen-twenties years... so, hopefully friends will understand why I take so many now - with the advant and availablitly of digital cameras/photography - it's even more tempting to take obnoxious amounts of photos. Everytime I hesitate and decide not to take too many photos in fear of annoying people, I really regret not having them down the line... every single time I avoid taking them, I regret it later. So, I probably will stop stopping myself... deal with it! :) Everyone cherishes those captured moments down the line...
