i’m pretty cheap with the electric bill, so i’m trying not to turn the air down too low, but i’m burning up here! ugh… and it’s only may…
our may sweeps finally ended last week, so i joined the my family’s vacation already in progress. and it was a hodge-podge of family get together. my grandparents, dad, dad’s youngest brother, his wife, and their 4 kids.
my uncle matt was 5 years old when my parents got married, so he was always the young, hip uncle. well now he’s 40 and has 4 small children. they are ADORABLE but it makes me feel so old! they could be my kids! yowzer. but we had a lot of fun at myrtle beach. and now i’m peeling for some patchy sunburns, and back to reality.
this month has been incredible crazy with golf tournaments, sweeps, and small trips here and there, but i’m so blessed. i was able to spend some nice time in the mountains too a couple weeks ago, and it was so peaceful and relaxing. nice company too. 
i think oftentimes i get way overstimulated with everything, so it’s really good to decompress.
so yeah, after a month running all over the place, it looks like i’ll chill out in sherman this weekend. there are some peeps i haven’t hung out with/seen in a while in other places, but it will come too. i just have to slow down a little.
maybe i am getting old.
so in the age of digital technology, there are so many ways people can express themselves. the skin on a myspace page, all those annoying applications on facebook, even this blog!
one aspect is the cell phone ring. are you coldplay’s biggest fan? have that song between you and your special someone? that song can ring loud and clear everytime your snookie calls.
but the cell phone ring issue is escalating. twice already today i’ve called someone when instead of ringing when i’m waiting for them to pick up, it’s a song! nothing like ‘party like a rockstar’ at 9am.
if you do this, more power to you. but why?! honestly this isn’t the elevator music when you’re on hold. it’s hard to take someone seriously when they answer the phone. maybe that’s what they’re going for! I dunno.
I may choose to party like a rockstar on my own, but the regular old ring in my ear will due just fine.
I’ve been pretty bad about blogging lately.
I did commentary for a golf tournament last weekend, I’m off to another one in about an hour or so. Honestly, I’m not much of a golfer. It seems fun, I’ve learned some stuff over the years, but it’s not exactly my main sport. But, these broadcasts have been pretty cool. I have the “golf voice” down. It’s kinda funny.
I think bottom line, I can’t wait for summer. In a few weeks I’m going to South Carolina for a big FitzGerald family vacation to stay at a house right on the beach! Lake activities are also really big around here so I can’t wait for that. Last year the fun was pretty much rained out, so I have to make up for lost time!
But this is what I’ve been musing over. So it seems like I’m always looking forward to the next thing. In a way I think that’s good, keeps me motivated at least, puts perspective on life. But sometimes I think I’m looking ahead so much I can (and often do) miss what’s right in front of me.
I guess it’s a contentment issue. I’ve been chewing on that concept for the past few years, and I think it boils down to balance. Recognizing what’s happening right now, but also looking ahead to press on towards what’s next. But then it’s also important, at times, not to worry about the future and focus right now. I guess it depends on the situation.
anyway… for now I need to focus on the eagle or birdie shot, not getting popped in the head with a golf ball… and talking at hushed tones.
