The giving of thanks

Today I'm thankful for spending time with wonderful families and wonderful friends that became my family over the years.

When the entire state of Kansas does not separate us, the three of us are pretty fun and fierce together.

Most of the quotes and memories of Cards Against Humanity are not safe enough to publish on thishereblogpost, but one quote is.

"You're sad and fat and I have no legs. Let's be friends."

Sometimes you just have to put your head down on the table and giggle your little heart out.

Three zero, and other notes

First off, I have to say that my 30th birthday was probably my favorite birthday yet.

Thanks to everybody who wished me happy birthday, who uploaded embarrassing photos of an NSYNC concert (yes!) and to my bff, her husband, and my family for a pretty amazing game of Cards Against Humanity that night.

Beers were had, cupcakes were eaten, and there were plenty of laughs.

Good times, all. Good times.

I went to a conference in Salina on my birthday.

Everyone was obsessed with the weather. I admit that I did not check the weather beforehand, or during the conference.

I managed to miss most of the rain on the drive back, which was nice.

I dodged most of the rain on the way home.

This was Salina a few hours after I left it. It turns out that yes, you should absolutely check the weather before you travel.

That little intersection on the map is Salina. I was pretty thankful I had already left!

On my birthday my boss took a pretty sweet picture of us at the conference in Salina. My other co-worker made a comment about the photo. She said it looked like he farted, and I was laughing about it.

Naturally, I tweeted that comment and the photo. I was then re-tweeted by Most Farted (@MostFarted).

On my birthday.

See, I told you my birthday was awesome! My life is complete now.

Seriously, thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. I don't think I'm worthy of two birthday cakes and 24 cupcakes, but that didn't stop me from tasting everything.

Thank you!

So far 30 feels a lot like 29. Exactly like it.

I'm also happy to report that after doing my leadership class on Thursday and going out of town on Friday, and giving presentations at each of those things, this little introvert introverted nearly all weekend.

I'm not even sure I saw daylight on Saturday. It was a peaceful day of uninterrupted snoozing all day.

It was a perfect weekend.

I have wonderful people in my life.

Thank you!

Cards Against Humanity

My Christmas present to myself was Cards Against Humanity.

I played it for the first time last weekend. I'm pretty sure it's the best thing I've ever bought.

There were many cards that were raunchy enough that I couldn't even say out loud, let alone take photos of them and post them on this here blog thing.

Some of them, though, were mild and funny. Those photos are below.

Liking big butts and not being able to lie about it won. Ha, ha.

Blurbs for Monday

This weekend I posted Facebook updates on my nieces, an NPR story about Syria and a link to my previous blog post.

My mind wanders.

(Some people say I have a short attention span salad.)

My friends and I played Cards Against Humanity the other night. The best card, that I can say out loud without blushing?

Tonight on Nickelodeon: Clarissa explains liking big butts and not being able to lie about it.

Giggle.

I've had a quote stuck in my head from Lost over the past week or so.

"Shouldn't we be encouraging the ones with ambition?

We got a couple inches of snow last night.

Penny the Pug isn't happy.

Of course, on Facebook this morning people are griping about the road conditions. Can't we afford to salt our roads? Our taxes are too damn high! This town sucks! This state sucks! We should move!

People, it's two inches of snow. Learn how to drive.

There was a car in the ditch on my way to work this morning. It sucks for that car, and in case it's somebody I know, that's a bummer, dude. I hope the car isn't damaged (it was a Ford Focus, though, so maybe it needs to be damaged).

Like I said above, it's two inches of snow, not two feet of white stuff.

Gah.
