February Fun

Hi sisters readers. I’m not sure if anyone reads this besides my sisters anymore, but I guess I will still try to write every now and then. My California dreamin’ has come true – I am officially going to California in less than a few weeks. I randomly bust out in song and belt “Californiiiiiiiiiiiia here we coooooooooooome” just like they do on the OC. It is an instant mood-lifter. You should try it, even if you aren’t going. It might work for you. Before I go, I have to figure out what to pack, get a little shopping done, and try not to have a panic attack before/during flight. I always get so pumped to travel, but then I think about sitting on an airplane and it totally deflates my balloon of excitement. I even saw someone on TV on an airplane the other day and it made me very anxious. Ahhh! I can do it. I can do it for California, right? That is what I always have to tell myself. I have done it for Europe, Atlanta, Florida, Outer Banks and so many others, but it is still hard to do. I have a lot to do before I leave, so that leaves little idle time for me to think. Please don’t remind me about earthquakes either. When did I become such a stressball? There are so many exciting things are around the corner that I will try to concentrate on: the Superbowl, Valentine’s Day, my sister’s birthday, and the Guy Davis Concert are all before I leave! Before I know it, I will be singing “Californiaaaaaaaaaaa here I cooooooooooooome” on the airplane as I self-medicate with lots of wine and my song will become an unrecognizable slur.

My office is getting pretty rowdy for the Superbowl. I’m not a hardcore fan or anything, but I’d love to see the Colts win. I bought my first Colts t-shirt yesterday because it is Colts week at work and has been for the past few weeks and I am tired of wearing the same darn blue sweater. My co-workers are decorating the office and we are having a “cube décor” contest. Ya know what else? I get to watch the Superbowl game early. Yep – at the office. An official football game is planned between the Colts and the Bears on the Xbox. Haha, are we supposed to crowd around the TV and cheer? I feel like I am in a real-life episode of The Office – and I like it!
