March Madness!!

Yesterday was Rachael's date of birth (the big 21), so there was drinking and dancing at Wrigley's Mansion lastnight. It was fun with a small group just having a few drinks and doing some dancing. The band was cool, they played some jazz funkiness and I shook my groove thing.

I am working today, but I am indeed not bored. Much to be done. Here is my list:


1. Finish reading Chocolat for class.
2. Work on a story (still waiting for source to call me back. meh.)
3. Practice saying my name more clearly, because here is what just happened:

Me: "Republic newsroom, this is Amanda"

Caller: "Linda?"

Me: "No, Amanda."

Caller: "Okay, Linda, here is what I need. Can you transfer me to so-and-so?"

(wtf.)

4. Call Grandma Karolyn, who will be in town on Monday and Tuesday, to see when we are getting together. She is good times, and it has been over a year since I have seen her and Mike (her significant other), so I am looking forward to this. Brad will be at Genius Camp, so he wont get to meet her quite yet. (which reminds me, hopefully sometime this year he and I can take a trip to Reno and visit them, and then go to Lake Tahoe!)

5. Plan agenda for Utah trip. Brad isn't going to be there very long, so I am looking to squeeze as much fun-ness into two days as possible. My dad suggested seeing the temple (yes, THE TEMPLE), but that isn't very exciting. I am sure we will walk by it though. I definately want to eat at Porcupine Pub & Grill, a nice spot at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon (or is it Big Cottonwood? I get the two mixed up), for dinner and a nice brew selection on tap. We will walk around downtown, take light rail to and fro, see some sites, meet some of my friends, etc. I am really looking forward to it.


March is going to be sort of, madness. In a good way though. Here is why:

1. Going to California next weekend.
2. Home for a week, then going to Salt Lake for a week.
3. When I get home, decision-making time for what I am going to do about work.
4. Childhood best friend Jenna comes to town the end of March.


Okay, enough of this long blog. Back to work.
