Presidents Day

*Getting the day off work for Presidents Day.  It is not a well remembered holiday and I probably only remembered it because it means I don’t have to go to work.  I had a few people ask why I wasn’t at work (since I was online) and so I don’t feel bad not being the only person who wouldn’t remember the holiday.  It was nice to have a 3 day weekend because it somehow seems much more than 1 ½ times as long as normal weekend.  Somehow, Sunday felt more relaxing than a normal Sunday because I knew I had another day, and today felt more relaxing than a Sunday usually does.

 

*Remembering to set aside some God time!

 

*Playing Frisbee with Kevin.  Even though we had just played ultimate yesterday, we got together to toss the disc around for about 40 minutes.  That was all the longer we lasted since we were still both worn out from yesterday, but it helped break up the afternoon and make the day more rewarding.

 

*Having plenty of dinner ideas for the upcoming week (including leftovers)

 

*Talking to Tara on the phone for a while.  It was nice to get to talk to her on the phone and laugh at myself, as well as hear what I already knew…I have TOO MUCH FREE TIME!

 

*Planning

 

*An amazing day outside!  Today’s high was about 70…is it really February????  According to weather underground the record is 78 (sheesh!) so we didn’t break that but still!

Ultimate

* Ultimate Frisbee in perfect weather! It started raining as I left my
apartment but stopped shortly after I got there. We played for 2 hours and
had a ton of fun.

* Not hurting myself playing ultimate

* Being productive in a fun way

Official May Visitors

*Getting the flights finalized for Andrew, Ange, and Tara!!! It is now
official that they are coming up to visit in May, and it should be an
amazing time!!!

*Finishing up my federal and state taxes, w/ refunds. :)

*Starting to look up restaurants and things to do for when I have visitors
in May :)

SNOW!!

Waking up to 1.5" of snow on the ground, and 2-3 on my car!!!! It was awesome. I even made a little snowman before work.

*Making it to work safely despite all the accidents around

Lifted up (and away)

*Playing ultimate for the first time since November.  Even though it was windy, we still had a large turnout and played for 2.5 hours!  I was amazed at how much we could actually play in the wind.  One of the throws actually went way up in the air turned sharply, went 15-20 feet out of bounds and then turned around again and came all the way back into the endzone.  Someone almost caught it even though all the rest of us were way at the other end not moving after we saw it veer out.  All in all it really wore me out and I’m still sore, but it was worth it.

 

*Talking to Katherine for a while Sunday evening, venting back and forth about different things.  Even though we didn’t actually manage to catch up at all, I felt a lot better after a not so great day.  We’re both usually are too busy to chat, so it was really good that we got a chance.

 

*Revived hope to find a home church out there somewhere

Fun & Relaxing Week

*Lounging around and doing very little on a Saturday.  All week I went to work and came home and didn’t do too much besides chatting with people online.  It made for a pretty good week.  And Saturday was full of lounging around with some fun IM conversations

 

*Catching up with Katherine!  It had been a while since I talked to her, and we had some much needed catching up to do.  We didn’t get all the way caught up, but we did our best!

 

*Getting praise for a job well done at work

 

*Playful banter…
