Stuff

Lately I’ve been going through stuff. Vague I know and yet it explains my life these past couple weeks perfectly.

Yes I’m busy.  Yes I’m in the middle of being in a friend’s wedding, helping to plan a 20 year high school reunion, planning my own wedding and dealing with my health.

Ninety-nine percent of the time it flows smoothly.  But lately, somehow, this train got off it’s tracks.

I feel off.  I feel like my mind is cluttered.  I find myself in the throws of anxiety where all of the sudden my neck is so tense my head turns like Frankenstein.

Maybe it’s too much stuff.  Maybe I need to increase my exercise, my down time, change my eating.  Or maybe it’s just life.  And it’s something I have to go through in order to get to the other side.

Although these phases are difficult, scary and sometimes it’s hard to see that light at the end, I truly believe in the importance of these spells.  Without them I wouldn’t appreciate the calm and zen moments as much as I do.

I do know that I’m happy, in love and this too shall pass.

With that said, I’m grateful for this weekend away.

Tomorrow I’m headed up to Minneapolis to attend the first ever Minnesota Blogger Conference.  I realize I’m not a Minnesota Blogger but they let me in when I threatened to throw cheese at them.

Not only is it being held in my home away from home but I get to FINALLY meet for the first time some really awesome women and give hugs to old friends.

I’m also dragging along my dear friend Jen who just started blogging.  I know she’ll enjoy herself and like to think this is payback for all those fraternity parties she forced me to in 1992.

Not to mention the blissful four hour drive just cranking the tunes and zoning out will be downright heavenly.

I’m hoping to leave some of this stuff that’s clogging my head on I-94.

    Oh the Stuff! I know how that goes, sometimes you just your limit.

    The weekend will be wonderful! We will all have such a blast, chat and have just what we all need to get through the weeks…

    So…do we have to carry a styrofoam cooler full of beer through downtown St. Paul to the blog conference just like the ’92 University Ave. fiasco?!?!?

    Ah “Stuff”. I would happily run away from the stuff in my life, if I could. This weekend sounds like the perfect time off for you. Enjoy!!!
