Holy.

Shit.

I’m not sure where June went, but I’m pretty sure I skipped right though it. I can’t believe that the 4th of July is in two weeks, which in Tonia time, pretty much means it’s tomorrow.

I feel like I haven’t had enough time to myself, and worse yet, that I’ve been abandoning all my friends. The few days I do have, I try to take to myself or I play catch up on the side projects I’m working on.

Although I do a pretty good job at balancing my life, and I wouldn’t want any less chaos, I do think I need to do a better job in keeping touch with all my friends. I think part of the issue is lack of time and hating phone calls. *sigh* Twitter and text are my best friends.

I can’t say thank you enough to my dear friend CJ for being willing to start a karaoke adventure with me after #evfn last night, which I actually attended without Jessica having to text me and drag me out of my coma state. I chatted with CJ while I was in the airport on Thursday and mentioned we should do karaoke and it was born, tweeted, and facebooked. Not only did the expected crew of CJ and Debbie come, but Steph, Jessica, and two new people I just met that night showed up also. I ended up being coaxed into closing the bar down. It was fantastic.

I think I’m going to plan a dinner/game night as soon as I find a definite free day. What are everyone’s plans next Saturday?

It’s a rainy gray morning here in Phoenix today. What a boring thing to write my first blog post in April about, but well, I’ve had a lot of stuff going on and haven’t had much time to blog. For once, I’ve been working on catching up on my sleep. I promise I’ll try to update a little bit on the past week or so over the weekend.

This morning I decided to get an early head start on the day. I have almost an entire walk-in closet full of clothes to wash. I am proud to say I am halfway done. I also have a kitchen to clean, of which I have also done half. I’m finally almost done filing my taxes as well. I’m just being my typical anal self and looking at them a million times before I e-file.

I was hoping to get a walk in. It looks like the sun is going to start to come out so maybe I will get my wish. Other than that I am going to have a overall relaxing weekend, especially since I ended up going out last night when the plan was to crash on my couch. I had to prove to my friends that I really am still alive and functional. Possible cookout tonight. Possible cookout tomorrow. Hopefully some pool tomorrow as well.

Hmm well that was kind of random. I’ll blog about more specifics later. Off to double check my taxes one last time and relax with the adorable sugar glider.

I can’t believe I haven’t blogged since last Tuesday!! I tried so hard to get one in yesterday before January ended, but oh well, no such luck there. This will be an extremely quick one as I have a busy day of starting to get ready for my trip, volunteering, super bowl, I heard I was going to be singing.. I don’t even know

This week was hectic. I’ve been working on composing lyrics and melody for a song. I’m a bit rusty and we all know I’m indecisive so that doesn’t make for a good situation on top of being so super busy all week long.

I am working in two different offices for the next couple months so that adds an additional thing I have to remember every week. Monday and Tuesday I got in some good quality work time in while at Lux and Tuesday even met up with Todd afterwards at Rosie’s. Wednesday I worked on laundry and other misc things from home and headed to bed a little early. It was nice and relaxing.

Thursday I went to Rockaroke (go figure). A friend met me there and alas my Black Velvet Rockaroke curse happened again. So no singing Black Velvet, which was disappointing. Ending up singing some Blondie. Had to get SOMETHING in before I leave.

Friday I brought two of my friends with me to East Valley Friday Night (#evfn) which was at Whole Foods this week. I met more new people which was great, reconnect with some I already knew, and I’ll leave it at that. A small few of us closed down Whole Foods (yes, we closed down a grocery store, and I’m not afraid to admit it). Afterwards, I went to Tilted Kilt for a little bit but was extremely disappointed.

Yesterday I had an extremely busy day. Started off hiking Pinnacle Peak with Kerri. Afterwards we headed to the FBR Open as I had won grounds tickets. It was the most interesting PGA stop I have ever been to. It honestly reminded me of Happy Gilmore and I was quite pleased. Great people watching. Great party. Great everything. Next year I am definitely getting 3 Day VIP passes. Argyle, sun, people having fun? I’m there!

After the FBR, I went to dinner and dancing with the Alta girls. We started at Bada Boom Pasta Room Great food, lousy waiter. Then we went to the Hyatt Resort in Scottsdale to watch Flamenco dancers. What a beautiful BEAUTIFUL resort. To top it off, it has gondola rides? I’m definitely going back. We then wanted to head to Barcelona but with the FBR crowd it was just way too packed. Some guys tried to impress us and ask us to bar hop with them in their limo. Only issue was, the hummer limo did not belong to them! Ended up going to Devil’s Martini and while it was a fairly good DJ and we always have a blast wherever we go, I was not impressed at all. I have finally hit the age where I am not impressed by stripper poles in bars. Does that make me old or just a little more sophisticated… hopefully sophisticated.

I tried to make it out to karaoke in Mesa, but we got home way too late and I needed to crash. Today’s plans are heading out to volunteer shortly then coming straight home to the Super Bowl party that is starting at my house without me. Alas this week I really have to get everything in order as I will be gone for almost a week straight.

Interaction 09 here I come!!
