Hump Day Slump Day

I think I used up all my motivation last week.

This week during work it has been hard to keep myself motivated.

Derick came back into town Saturday night, and pretty much showered and went to sleep. I got up Sunday morning and went to my parent's church for their Easter breakfast at 9am and then service at 10:30am. After that, I ran home to pick up Derick, and we went over to my parent's house for Easter lunch. My Aunt Marilyn, Uncle Dale, cousins Craig, Keith, Eric, Aunt Gail, Uncle Dan and cousin Nathan were over as well, Jana and her boyfriend, Matt were also later to breakfast at church and then the service as well as lunch at my folks' place. It was nice to eat and catch-up a little with them. It is amazing just how tired you can get though from eating a big meal, sitting around and talking!

I have a few things to look forward to later this month! In fact, it is all in the same weekend!!

Saturday, April 24th my cousin Liz and I organized a cousin's bowling night! We are making trophies for the winning and losing teams and everything!

Sunday, I bought tickets to go to Christopher Straub's (from Project Runway season 6) Premiere runway show at the St. Paul Hotel! So far Lissa and Emily are going with me. I am super super super excited for it! I actually bought one of his belts that was for sale on his website and asked him to sign it- which he did!! I am excited what else he has been up to and where his vision has gone post PR.

I am not sure what really got me thinking about it, or excited about it, but I was already getting excited for the State Fair! I think I might know what is to blame - I was looking at pictures of when Jana and I went to the fair together and made a day of it a few of years ago. But believe me, I can WAIT until the end of the summer thankyouverymuch! I am usually the normal person who enjoys living in the current season, not thinking too far ahead to the next. Only in the case of the extremely long winter will I want to look ahead to spring and summer! I am a live in the moment season girl.

Oh, I did end up taking Tucker to the dog park EVERY DAY after work last week in the back seat of my car! He actually did really well! I think he liked it because he could lay down against the seat and relax, rather than ride along in the back of the truck. There was only one time when we were getting ready to drive back home when it was wet and muddy and I told him to sit and wait so that I could pull the blanket back across the seat and tuck it in to make sure that he didn't get my back seat all dirty. Well, he was a little too impatient and jumped in the front seat, passenger's seat and back out of the car again and then into the back seat. my car was FILTHY! But other than that little mishap, it went really well. It is nice to be able to get him outside and let him run around awhile. It tires him out and gets him out around other dogs and people.

I think that is about all the updates for me for now.
