Most of my days are spent day dreaming about my upcoming trip and all of the things that are going to happen with in the trip. Arriving in Sydney, Meeting up with MF, seeing Lorde in concert in Melbourne's Festival Hall, and most importantly MY BIRTHDAY! I'm not sure how I can be expected to house this much excitement in my human body.
However I am still trying to be social, have fun and BE PRESENT! Spending every second in anticipation of a trip that could very well never happen is not the way I choose to live. Staying in the moment is so important to maintaining my balance. I can't waste precious moments of life just because I have so amazing up coming plans, there are still moments to create and to cherish all around me.
FRIDAY
Friday Night was extra special because I was asleep by 10 and got a wonderful amount of slumber. It lead to a productive Saturday!
SATURDAY
I spent a few hours in the morning helping a friend who is refinishing their kitchen, stripping cabinets and re-staining the wood. I was sweating, coughing up saw dust, using power tools and the whole nine yards.
After getting cleaned up I drove my mom to Minnetonka, had one beer and headed right back to Minneapolis. I planted myself in 'Nordest' for the night, a great group of girls and I made our way to Gastofs for dancing and debauchery. I had a great time but I am not sure when I'll be able to go back, I ran into way too many (2) boys I dated before I could drive. YIKES!

SUNDAY
I found myself rooted in the same place, NE with the same glorious group of friends. We spent ten hours in the front lawn, enjoying the sun, playing with puppies, chatting up neighborhood pedestrians, laughing each time a new law chair sunk so far it tipped over. The day could not have been spent any better way.
We wore funny clothes, broke a few chairs, got a bit muddy, ordered pizzas, smoked a lot of hookah, met some of the neighbors and had a really great time!
We even migrated a whole city block and ended the evening with some delicioso Mexican food and karaoke at Adelitas!
For good measure I am going to add a fourth day to this weekend in review...

MONDAY
Cropped from @katiapriceless #instagram
I attended the Minnesota Twins Home Opener at Target Field with my mom and one of her friends. The weather was wonderful, our seats were not shaded so I got to feel the warmth of the sun on my skin (a sensation this MN winter almost convinced me I'd never feel again!). The Twinkies may not have brought home a win but the day overall was a W in my book.
If your climate resembles mine and summer is arriving, if your spring has sprung, no more parkas, no more bitching and moaning - there is only maximizing the time that can be spent outside!
