Is It Just Me?

Is it just me or does it not seem like November at all?

On my way home, I drove past those little Christmas tree/stocking/toy soldier decorations hanging off of the light posts and was so confused.  It’s been September for the past 3 months, hasn’t it?

I’m not really sure how to put this feeling into words, but I feel way less into the holiday spirit this year.  And I’m not sure why.  Halloween came and went and as much as I wanted to be into it, I just wasn’t.  Is this what being old feels like?  Because I’m not old enough to feel old!  By this point, I’m usually craving Christmas music, snowy Saturdays (where I can stay indoors all.day.long) and eggnog, but as of right now, I feel no such desire for those things.  What is happening?!

Is it just me or is this time change messing with everyone else’s workout motivation?

The sun is seriously setting as I leave work and by the time I get home it’s pitch black outside and all I want to do is cuddle up on the couch and be lazy for the rest of the night.  Help.

Is it just me or is everything about the Voice a joke?

I don’t watch but it just so happened to be on when I turned the TV on and I’m not impressed by anyone.  Including the horrible Maroon 5 performance.

Is it just me or does everyone else think every restaurant should offer baby beers?

You know, for when you need to save room for actual food.  Or if you’re Joey you get a full sized beer and a big ol’ burger and then go to a Nuggets game and spend almost the entire 4th quarter of the game standing in line for nachos.  Where does he put it?!

This was my favorite part of the game.  But really, I barely watched any of the game because I was glued to election coverage.

Is it just me or does a decked-out waffle make a Tuesday morning feel extra special?

If you don’t know the answer, then you should probably eat a decked-out waffle next Tuesday.

But for now, just go enjoy your weekend!

Because I guess more went on than just the few hours I spent watching Joey finish his marathon.

Like watching this beer kickball game on Friday evening.

It’s a co-ed league, but I am definitely not playing.  I know you’re all thinking, “But that sounds so fun!”  And I’m sure it is.  For those of us who weren’t traumatized by playing kickball in elementary and middle school.  For someone who danced competitively most of their life, I’m so unathletic.  Even I’m shocked at my lack of athleticism and coordination sometimes and I should be used to it by now.

Also, more beer ended up in the grass/on people’s clothes than was consumed during this game.

I basically can’t get enough of Colorado sunsets these days.  When I walked out of my apartment on Thursday evening and saw a sliver of that hot pink sky behind the buildings, I think I actually said “YES!” out loud and then basically speed walked so I could get a “good picture” before the sun actually set.

We finally got to try our own beer!  I thought it tasted pretty good but Joey has tried it again since and decided it’s a little flat.  What do I know anyways.  If this is our worst batch, I’m pretty happy with it.  We’re ready to brew our second batch next weekend!

The new panorama feature on the iPhone may be Apple’s greatest invention.  I won’t even tell you how long we spent getting a perfect picture at the home bar after kickball on Friday.  I’m sure it was really entertaining for anyone watching.

Outtakes:

P.S. What is this kid doing in a bar the night before running a marathon?!

Pretty sure Joey didn’t eat all day after his race until 5 PM, when I finally said, “Uh, are you going to eat today?”  Then he had lunch, dinner, dessert and second dessert all within a couple of hours.  If you bring out the whole bottle of magic shell and the entire carton of ice cream, I guess you plan on finishing the pint.

On Sunday, I dragged Joey to the Boulder Whole Foods to have breakfast with me.  Turns out bringing him with wasn’t as fun as going by myself last week.  Probably because he is physically unable to just sit and enjoy the act of doing nothing for longer than 30 seconds.  I told him to go run around the parking lot but he didn’t go for it.

Definitely a more low key weekend, but sometimes you need that.

Happy Monday to you all.
