why do i sling burgers and beers to the point of exhaustion to pay the bills?

So I am free to live the life I want to live of course.

Like today for instance:

Wake up late after being on my feet running around working 12 hours yesterday, walk out of my fantastic apartment in a fantastic city, to get a coffee outside my back door because I live in a fantastic neighborhood, then sip that coffee as I walk around my fantastic neighborhood checking out menus to scope food I might eat later after I meet up with my friend who is visiting from California. Then back up to my fantastic apartment with all the windows open and sit on the couch to relax for a few. Jump in the shower, play a little bit of cheesy dance party music including Young MC; Bust a Move (Oh yeah- I claimed that. You know you love it)- and off to farmers market out my front door. Today; Eats, drinks, being merry, exploring and enjoying time with fantastic people, then falling asleep dreaming of all the other fun times I will have doing the above again because I can.

Sure makes every time I ask “How do you want that burger cooked sir?” a little more palatable.

Here’s to wanting something, getting up everyday, busting your ass to earn every last bit of it, then relishing in it all.

It’s all out there for the taking. What are you waiting for?

wahoo! it’s 80 degrees, it’s friday and i am in chicago

I know right? Stroke of luck as we all know I am in for one brutal winter. (Until I escape for some time in Argentina that is.)

Carpeting in my apartment is being installed as we speak (yeah!) Things are scrubbed from top to bottom, I have situated parking, had the cable guy hook me up and run all the other necessary I just moved in to a new apartment errands, all while working my other full time job and hitting the pavement to run, the gym to Zumba.

I’m working with my web guy for some updates here, so in the next few days you will see some changes.

We have a BIG birthday coming up:

BLUE LOLLIPOP ROAD TURNS 3 ON OCTOBER 16TH!!!

So a celebration you ask? Yes, and a big announcement on a launch, a trip and something else that’s been brewing…

Happy weekend!

i just met the road trip nation crew!

The Fall Roadies are in Chicago! Through this great thing they call Twitter, we found each other tonight. YEAH!

As you all know I have been a fan of RTN since 2003. I’ve been chatting with the peeps at this great organization for a lot of years and looking forward to meeting them at some point, so tonight was awesome! I am going to see them at their University of Chicago event tomorrow, so stay tuned for some photos and videos…
