wwnpd?
I recently had the privilege of going to Washington, DC, for work. It was a wonderful trip. I love my NARAL family and have made some friendships that will last for many years. I also had the opportunity to lobby for my organization to our state's legislators. Never thought I would be in that position. I got to meet/talk with the Executive Director of Emily's List, which is also a kick-ass organization, about the political climate in South Dakota. What an opportunity.

Comments.
I was told recently that the comments function is not working. I did not realize this and just thought no one was commenting. I went and changed some settings so maybe it will work now.
So feel free to leave a comment!

87 to go!
So I have a few more things crossed off the list:
38. Speak my mind more often. (I've gotten especially good at this at work.)
41. Drink more water. (Hydration is now my friend.)
47. Befriend the mean bartender that everyone hates at Monks. (We are as friendly as we'll ever be.)
72. Brewery tour. (It was a winery, but I'm counting it. I also went to the one in Spearfish...)
89. Have a picnic in a park. (It was at the winery, but it was legit.)
10. Fall in love again. (My heart is currently in Chicago.)

Life lessons?
Well no one was super helpful with that last post. I guess maybe no one reads this after all...
After a particularly stressful week last week, I had a really really great weekend. It was so nice.
But once again, I can feel the stress creeping its way back in. The soreness/tightness in my back and jaw are undeniable. What's bothering me so much? Life I guess. I just don't know what to do sometimes. But then if I sit back and do nothing, I feel like it's all going to pass me by and I'll miss my chance. Guess I just need to find a happy balance? Whatevs.
So I've been dipping my toe (begrudgingly) into the dating pool, mostly because I think it's what society expects of me. This is silly though because I hate dating. Or I guess I should say I hate dating people I don't know. Too much pressure. Too many things can go wrong. Or the guy could turn out to be a creeper/clinger/psycho combo like the last one. All I have to say is there are some 28-30 year olds with major issues out there. Yikes. But I think he got the hint and has stopped harassing me. (Still need to buy that pepper spray though, just in case...) Maybe I should give a guy my age a try?
Too bad for those younger guys though because I met a 31 year old that could have potential. It's hard not to be hesitant after that last disaster but at least this one was screened through friends. Honestly though, I just don't think I want a relationship. I'm pretty happy being single which is kind of awesome to admit. I'm single by choice and happy with it. Too bad that when you make that realization, you have to beat them off with a stick. Seriously.

Bummer.
Hmmm where to begin...
I still want what I can't have. I know I'm not the only one that feels it; I'm just not the one that's ignoring it. Such a bummer...and frustrating. Oh well, guess that's life.
Also, I need to learn to drive a stick shift. I might have to incorporate that into my 101 in 1001.
