Oh, there you are.

Hello there. I have been doing a really poor job of updating my blog, but for what I consider a good reason. My life is kind of in limbo. I can’t really buy anything, because I’ll just have to get rid of it in 2 months. I can’t really plan any big trips because I’m trying to focus on spending lots of quality time with family and friends. I’m just kind of hanging out. I snowboard or ski a lot and on the weekends usually somehow end up in Denver. I’m done with work on the 30th and then it will be time to start packing everything up, the thought of this is both stressful and relieving. We all have them, the shirt, shoes, pants, coat, etc, that we never wear, haven’t worn in over a year and yet somehow this article(s) make their way with us through life. Now is my time to get rid of everything, only keep what I know for a fact I wear or will wear again. I’ll hang on to all my snow gear, but really, I don’t think I need all 5 pairs of old running shoes that I keep around for… the memories? Maybe I’m a pack rat when it comes to old running shoes, but dang, my collection is out of control. Also, I seem to have an affinity towards shirts that don’t fit right. I have a long torso and often I buy a shirt wear it and wash it and then it becomes a belly shirt, which I’m not so into. I must have 10 of these shirts that just don’t fit right anymore, now why are they in my closet? Anyway, all of that must have been terribly uninteresting, I’m kind of bored just thinking about it. Sorry if you read it. I promise to have funny stories when I make it Costa Rica, I’m sure I will make all sorts of fun mistakes with both language and culture. Then we can all have a good laugh. I’ll keep my eye out until then for some funny stories to share and I promise to never ever tell you about my old running shoes again!
