we really should go back
its a muggy, overcast day here in moorhead, minnesota. this weekend, i must say, belongs in the top five greatest weekend list. saturday morning, we headed down to minneapolis for the hold steady concert, which was amazing. it was my third time seeing them…they put on such a great show. and it was outside. and i’ve been to so few outside concerts. even though it was a million degrees in the sun, it was still worth it. sunday was the twins game, which i surprisingly got really into, despite not knowing much about baseball. but boy, did i learn. ha. it was so much fun. and just great to be with friends who i’ve missed so much it almost hurts. but my time here is dwindling. im using today as a recovery day. uploading photos, listening to music and making dinner for my gracious friends who have put me up for the past weeks. oh, and baking a cake. i miss baking. i work too much when im in alaska to even think about making treats. so it goes.
i absolutely love coming back here. i love the midwest. i love minneapolis. but its not in a sad, “oh i wish i was still here” kind of way. its more of like, im glad i was here, and im so excited about where i’ll go next. speaking of which, i got approved for one of my cruises, which i’ll be accepting tomorrow. panama cruise, 15 days, october 6th. i’m so excited, i can barely think straight. three friends from the train will be joining me and i couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate my 25th birthday. after the cruise, we plan on visiting our friend alicia in florida for a while- then, who knows. i’m even more excited by the possibility of what could be next…
i’m getting a new tattoo tomorrow. and i can’t remember the last time i was this anxious for new work. i love the concept and can’t wait to get something to reflect this fabulous stage of my life. in other news, i am covered in mosquito bites.
well, time for a run.
and start dinner.
