Playing Catch-up

I have been doing everything and yet nothing at all.  Since I last posted, I have been to Colorado for work and Georgia & Tennessee for pleasure.

At the first of August, a colleague and I were sent to Colorado Springs to open an office branch for work.  We spent the week opening the office and it was a very nice break from the day to day grind back at home.  We didn't get to do anything touristy but I enjoyed my time away.  It is so beautiful out there that I actually considered looking for a job.  I love the town and the weather is glorious!  Plus there is the added benefit of actual seasons!

A couple of weeks ago, I headed off to Atlanta to see Chocolate' and catch a concert.  We had tickets to see Train (my favorite!) with Maroon 5 (they were okay) and Matt Nathanson (missed most of his act but I liked what I heard) at an amphitheatre.  Chocolate' and I have a wonderful seafood dinner before heading to the concert and after walking a country mile; we settled ourselves on the slope of the amphitheatre to enjoy some music.  Not only were we entertained by the bands but also this group sitting to the side of us; specifically one of their crew that was having a good time all on his own.  The man was wasted beyond measure and provided Chocolate' and I with lots of humorous suppositions.  It was a 'you had to be there' kind of thing and it was hilarious.

We also did some damage at the outlets and that is saying something for someone who doesn't like to shop.  Later we met up with a friend and had yet more seafood.  It reminded me of the Bucket of Boat trash you can get at Bubba Gump restaurants but it was only crab and shrimp.  And it was a lot!  The three of us barely made a dent into the bucket!  We had a wonderful time just catching up and I was sad to come back home.

Later that weekend, I took Parental 1 & 2 out to dinner for their birthdays.  We went to The Melting Pot and they said they enjoyed themselves.  If you have never been, I would recommend it for the experience but be prepared to spend some money.

Beyond the celebrations, I've had to deal with an illness.  I contracted RSV...again.  Having a sucky immune system really stinks.  I spent three days at home and went back to work to deal with chaos. 

So that is what has been going on in my little world.  For those one or two of you who read this I promise to post more often and try to be whitier when I do post.

Until then...
