Seriously... deliquent!

I've been seriously deliquent in a lot of things lately... least (or most, depending on how pathetic I'm feeling!) of which, this blog! I also finally just renewed my liscense plates yesterday (which is good since they expired at the end of April!)- I hate how much it costs seeing as how much I already pay in taxes, but having a father who works for the Federal Highway Administration, I also understand why we have to pay it. Still sucks though!

Anyway, a few things have occured since I last posted. Here goes...


I met a boy! Yes, that's right- can you believe it?! I totally went outside my comfort zone, went on a blind date (it's true that you should always try and date friends of friends by the way!), and things worked out! The picture of Matt & I is from my first Red Rocks concert on July 4th- we saw Blues Traveler, Collective Soul, and Live. Fantastic show seeing as the last time I saw them all was 10+ years ago!





Colin got a dog! Yes, leave it to my crazy roommate to decide he wanted to have a dog in our downtown, 8th floor apartment. He's actually wanted one for months, and finally talked me into it. He ended up buying a pure-bred Golden Retriever on Craigslist. Her name is Peaches Sunset, and she just turned a year old. She's surprisingly a very sweet dog, and has only peed in my room once! The funny thing is that she wasn't fixed (and still isn't so keep the boy dogs away!) and she happened to go into heat for the first time the morning after he had brought her home. Oopsie! The little girl in the background of the picture is actually who named the dog; shocking, I know.



Lesley's Bachelorette Party/Wisconsin Weekend!
One of my oldest friends is (FINALLY!) getting married to her high school sweetheart in August- knowing Pat & Lesley for as long as I have, I can honestly say I CAN'T WAIT until they finally tie the knot. A couple weekends ago I trekked back to Madison for the bacehlorette party- SO FUN! We did a private yoga session and had lots of fun girl time. I also got in a Brewers game with my parents and brother and some time walking around downtown Chicago which is always entertaining!




CONCERTS GALORE! This past weekend was especially hectic. Luke was in town visiting for a few days, I went to each of the Rockies games on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, met Matt's coworkers, and topped it off with the Mile High Music Festival on Sunday afternoon/evening. We saw Rodrigo y Gabriela, John Mayer, and the Dave Matthews Band. Needless to say, a good time was had by all in attendance. Since I had to work Monday morning, I was in good shape by the end of the evening. The same can't be said for some of my friends, but that's another story ;-) Monday night Colin & I attended the Police show at Red Rocks; 12th row at $229 a piece (given to me free from a station, so don't go getting any ideas that I suddenly came into money- see the above deliquent comment!). Joe Sakic was sitting right in front of us, though, which was entertaining. Nothing like watching an NHL star rocking out to 'Message In A Bottle'!

So, that's about it for now. Need to give a shout-out to my sister, as it's her 28th birthday today- HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIMBERLY!!!

Also, I'm not in last place in my fantasy baseball league anymore and the Brewers and tearing their way up the NL Central standings. As tends to happen, this has been a very good July :-)
