I am back in the lovely city of Lexington. Been back for a few days, but have been working and trying to catch up on everything in between! It was a bit of hassle getting out...which I will share, but in a summary I arrived back in Louisville, while my car was still in Cincinnati, my suitcase was missing due to the rerouting because of missed connections, my dog was a complete mess, and my paycheck is MIA. Fun times, fun times. Spent today..well just sleeping. I did manage to start some laundry and straighten up my house...you can now walk through it. I mean I always leave my house in fairly good condition...I tend to have the "what if something happens to me" in the back of my head...therefore I like to leave my house in decent condition. However...the minute I arrive back from a trip my apartment turns into mad chaos. While I didn't get it fully cleaned as I had wanted, it is at least more decent now.

Before I begin sharing some of my trip...I must first share some random thoughts. So, right now I have shall we call a "weird friend". By this I mean someone that is a dear friend, but there used to be (or maybe still is...) some romantic attraction towards. The trick with "weird friends" is knowing what lines to cross and not cross in discussion. Now the friend would totally be like share whatever you want, but I can't help but feel that there should be some lines there. What is sparking these thoughts? Well, I guess it has to deal with my jabbering when I am half asleep about my underwear and underwear "rituals" if you will. (So...I guess that makes me sound like a freak now..I just mean that I always take beyond extra underwear on every trip and I like to be wearing clean underwear every night before I go to sleep). I couldn't help but wonder if perhaps I had crossed a discussion line that I shouldn't have. Random thoughts...dang I hate emotions sometime and wish I could just turn the stupid things off. Now I am realizing that I am tired...I will write about the trip some tomorrow. Overall, I had a great time....went snowboarding, visited Vegas, and saw the sunset at the Grand Canyon. Hope you are all well...and haven't forgotten about me in my leave of absence.
