Sheridan Trails

I realize i haven't written for awhile. I like to give reasons for my absence. Most of them are pretty lame. All of them are nearly honest. I had a birthday. It was awesome. I got a bad cold. Mostly I've become a snot machine. Knitting has consumed all my free-time (which is an alarming amount) My internet connection is ridiculously frustrating. I've been reading a lot. My roommate Jesse wants to talk to me. If I don't talk back he burns my clothes. Number 6 is only half true. Try to figure out which half. I have developed an EXTREMELY embarrassing love for all shows on MTV. I'm working. Sort of a lot. I like to clean my apartment. I take walks around town. Hanging out with my little sister I'm going to the brewpub. It's a little slice of heaven. Sleeping I'm sure I am doing a lot more than just that list. Either way, I have completely forgotten about writing in this thing. Sorry. I'll be better.

For having barely any plans this weekend, I did quite a lot: Dinner at the Haseman's Friday night FIGHT NIGHT Fight Night was the best thing I have done in at LEAST.......5 days. I think I will write a whole post about it. Eventually. Knitting circle on Saturday with Brenda, Kim, and Dimitra. Making this a weekly event. Mostly because I realize that I can only really do one sort of knit...and there is a lot more that I could learn. And I like to knit....and drink coffee....and eat brownies.....and kick it with my homegurlz. Watched some football and had MEAT NIGHT at the Hasemans. I hadn't had a steak in forever. It was pretty great. Sackett's market really DOES have good meat. Karaoke an Saturday night. Homahgawd how I love karaoke. We totally brought the party to that place. Worked Sunday morning. It was ok. FOOTBALL in the afternoon. Went to the Hasemans (again) and watched Get Him to the Greek and ate the best dinner EVER! I didn't actually realize how much time I s

How's got two thumbs and is a really really big bonehead? THIS GIRL. Last night I was hanging out with some friends. Not very bonehead-ish...yet. For some reason there were sheets of paper and pens all over the table that I was sitting by. This is dangerous for me. I'm a subconscious doodler. I must not have wanted to doodle on the paper on the table. So the next best options was my thumb. Thumb pen tattoos are SUPER popular right now. Did you know that? No? They aren't? Oh, ok. Well this morning I woke up with the exact replica of my fancy thumb pen tattoo printed on my very tired face. The wonderful thing about this was that it wouldn't scrub off. So now I have a faint pen tattoo on the side of my face today. YES. Sincerely, Me....the original bonehead.

I have started to play a lot of guitar hero recently. I used to play it all the time, then I stopped. But my roommate has it, so now I have started to again. I basically think I am the best guitar hero player ever. I envision myself in a badass music video with fireworks, panthers, and bmx bikers. I don't really know where the bmx bikers come in, but it's still cool. The thing is, I really suck at guitar hero. I can't get past the medium setting. I get all stressed out. Start swearing a ton. Then keep on playing. It's pretty frustrating. But also pretty hilarious to watch. It's also frustrating playing with my roommate Juice. He has like 5 extra fingers and can play on the expert setting. It makes me want to throw the guitar at his face. In the nicest way possible.

I have a new job. But right now I am training. And I work very little. VERRRRY LITTLE. So I have gone a little stir crazy...because I have so much free time. I have come up with a nice list of hobbies: Knitting....an extreme amount. Currently creating a brown and burgundy scarf. I have no idea what I was thinking when I chose these colors. But it actually looks good. Go to the bank. I don't know how this became a hobby. The Library...they have a lot of cool magazines. Cleaning...yes, I have gotten bored enough to clean on a daily basis. Should have made this a New Years Resolution. Guitar Hero...I pretty much am stuck at medium...hard is, well, hard. showering...for a long long long time. My skin is currently extremely dry. the YMCA...I walk there everyday. I take different routes each time. I like variety. Walking is pretty much the only way I get around now. I love living in town. Texting. I am starting to text people that I haven't talked to in AGES. I'm so fricken bored

Guess what. In case you didn't know, I now work at Starbucks. Which I like to write it as Starbuxx . Because it's the ghetto way to spell. And if I'm anything, I am ghetto. So I have been training there for a few days, and, well, I kinda suck. But that's ok . Mostly because I have an unbelievable ability to totally suck at an activity then become relatively awesome at it in a matter of weeks. Does that make sense? So I take it as a good sign that I suck at my new job right now. One thing I am good at? Steaming milk. I can steam milk like NOBODIES business. mmhmm . So if you reallllllllly like steamed milk from Starbuxx , I'm your gal.

Yesterday I went to Billings with Jake and Jesse. Jake had to pick Brenda up from the airport, and I wanted to help greet her when she got into town. (side-note: I was a terrible greeting party. I was ridiculously tired and maybe said five words to Brenda the entire trip back to Sheridan....SORRY BRENDA. I become mute when I'm tired) So anyway, the night before was New Years Eve and I had just gotten back into town. I had a lot of fun celebrating with my friends, so Saturday morning I was not feeling very well. Jake was going to pick Jesse and I up at 10, and I was seriously considering backing out of the trip. At about 9:30, I crawl off the couch, grab a quick shower and try to become human again. I throw on my go-to sweater which is an old red nasty 3XL hoody. Then I grab the first pants I can find, which are my $3 Target special leggings. I deem this a good outfit. It wasn't. Brenda's plane was delayed coming into Billings, so we had a few hours to kill. We went out to l
