What an eventful week it has been! And very exciting, too!
I was super excited to see my Uncle Pete, I truly enjoy his company. He looks out for me and imparts so much helpful information its hard to not want to spend more time with him and hope it will all sink in through osmosis or something.
He got in on Monday and we went to dinner at The Fort in Morrison - finally using the $100 gift certificate I won a while back. It was an interesting little place that was clearly confused in its identity... It had all sorts of different foods like bison, quail, duck, lamb, etc, but a lot of it had a mexican twist, but it was very high-end and fancy... just strange. Then they must just want you to spend forever there -- they bring you just a booze and app menu. Once you order and food has been put in then they will bring you the entree menu, and continues like that. Oh and they seriously need to better describe their food temps -- med rare looked freshly butchered... even I cannot do that. But overall pretty great night.
Wednesday night I cooked for him at my place -- totally butchered the rice pilaf because I was in a hurry... rice is one of those really obnoxious foods... maybe one day I will just invest in a rice cook and be done with it. Uncle Pete had won Pearl Jam tickets at the Pepsi Center. We had amazing seats!! And it was a THREE hour show of just Pearl Jam rocking out. So freaking great! I was very impressed, it was a great time.
Thursday we had lunch together and I need to remember the name of the bourbon he was drinking because I need more of that in my life NOW lol. It was so nice to get so much time with my uncle. I definitely need to go visit him soon, especially since I have yet to see him new place, many years later. It is pretty awesome to have a mentor who is also a family member, I am pretty blessed.
Thursday night I went to the Broncos game. I can finally check an NFL game off my bucket list and we definitely did it right with Club level seats, it was really a great time! Minus the fight that ensued afterwards in the parking lot... and subsequent hospital visit. Thankfully not for me, but still. All in all, though, I would say it was a pretty damn awesome night!
Friday night I kicked some serious butt at washers as Paula's house. I miss her and Brad... my Colorado parents haha. They are so great. They are so giving -- I mean Brad cooked 10 pounds of wings and got to eat ONE! And was totally stoked about it. They are so adorable.
On other notes: I am doing a pretty great job of keeping up with my exercise. Been to the gym 3-4 times a week and usually walk or something else at least one more day a week. My gym membership came with a challenge to make it to the gym 36 times in the first 90 days and I will get Jan - March free... so you bet your butt I am determined to make that happen.
I am failing at maintaining my nutrition schedule... so I have decided to adjust my goal tracker and pay myself for eliminating dairy. Additionally, I am going to try and only eat gluten 2-3 times a week, which I think is reasonable. So I will see how this acknowledgement and adjustment work out.
I am already for Halloween!! And cannot wait. Reading A LOT! Have another crazy week coming up, but am very excited for it.
Mind is clearly wandering now... guess its time to shut down, read a little more and head to bed.
Night all!! Keep a look out for a private message from me soon with some big news!
Lots of love!
OO YEAH! I forgot I got a car this weekend! Specialist Bush is the shit and traded me her car for a couple meals! Super excited about it all-- but more next time.

Open Heart
Normally my posts are a little chaotic, jam packed with the happenings of the last week or several weeks, but today, I just want to focus on this weekend.
It was a fabulous weekend.
I am working toward a successful launch at work.
Friday, I finally got to see HoneyHoney, and oh man what a show! I swear I could listen to them all day long. And Pati Fiasco, who performed before them, were pretty damn great, too!
The weather has been outstanding for motorcycle riding, which I could not be more thankful and grateful for... being as which that is my only mode of transportation.
Saturday, I spent the day at a seminar learning with a Jeffery Combs a millionaire multiple times over. He taught about understanding how our stories get in the way and the necessity of setting up simple systems. Most importantly, he spoke of opening your heart and being a person who truly cares about others. How important it is to truly be intrigued by others and have a strong desire to learn about and understand the human race and its individual beings.
I am on this path to better myself in as many ways as I can and I resonated with a lot of things Jeffery said. That was easily the best $20 I have spent in a long time. I look forward to surrounding myself with more people who pay attention to energies and whom actually are engaged, present, and also looking to better themselves and the world they live in.
Today, was great. I have been doing my best to be up and out of bed by 7am... today however, everything just said I needed to sleep in so I did just that. From about 9:30-11 I got a little work done and them headed downtown for a great mediation class. I think it might be something I commit to (around the pats/broncos football schedule obviously). It was very energizing and we passed out some food to the needy afterwards, which was refreshing and rewarding. I have decided I am going to look into working with my new friend Christian, who ran the events I attended on Saturday and Sunday to help align me better with my purpose and where I want to go.
After a nice long ride in the sun I received a great surprise invitation for a hike with the ever so fabulous Specialist Bush, that I could not turn down. We had a wonderful afternoon catching up, I am sure going to miss her while she is gone, but an already looking forward to planning all sorts of crazy shenanigans for when she returns.
With a great Broncos game, and pretty awesome new gloves for the bike, my weekend has been top notch for sure.
And on an even better note: I am soo looking forward to this week my uncle is coming into town. He is truly my guide and mentor in life. I look to him for advice, to blow off steam, and generally as a little bit of a hero. I love that I have such amazing people to surround myself with no matter where I go.
Thank you all for being a part of me, and helping me be better everyday. You all have a piece of my heart.

Don't Stop; Won't Stop
Once again, I found myself jumping in to about 9000 things at one time. Working out, eating well, getting back to my goal/task charts - trying to make those charts something I can sell off to people. I had thought about trying my hand at the internet marketing thing. There is this competition going on where you could win a week on Sir Richard Branson's island learning from some amazing people. However, I am not 100% happy with my charts and how they work, so I have not jumped head first into that. I really think the Internet Marketing Business is a good idea, since I really need to understand who I am trying to sell to better.
Really starting to get frustrated with myself at the day job... not making sales yet, but I am kind of kicking butt in organizing and keeping our JV launch on point. I am excited to rock this and then jump into a bunch of other things like working on our SEO, learning more about adwords, and then working to find the exact pain points of potential customers to work on expanding our market to more small business professionals offline.
I joined the gym (did pretty great the first week) hoping I can keep it up. I have a lot of Physical Therapy work I really need to adhere to for my joints -- knees, hips and shoulders specifically. I am determined to build up my muscles for my birthday tattoo pictures. Ideally, when I come home (already bought my tickets!!) I hope to get a couple touch ups done. Hey CT and Boston you better watch out the next time you see me because I will be packing! ;-)
On the food front I had a bit of a slip... My nutritionist jokingly said something along the lines of if you want to add Gluten back in your diet, just go have a bunch of pizza and beer. haha. Well I took that line a little to seriously and had pizza three times in one day... problem being that I have issues with some of the other food I ate and have been eating... so I have to take a huge step back starting tomorrow and try it again the right way! So back to no booze, no gluten, no dairy, etc for at least 5 days and then systematically add things back in. On a positive and in the potential for an over share... the only real issue I have been facing is gasiness, which is still a major improvement from the past. If only I could get myself to meal plan I would be in much better shape... But then again that would require me going shopping... which is a little difficult currently...
Having only a motorcycle is great... and difficult. I really appreciate the mornings I can go for a ride and start my day with sun shine, music, mountain views and the wind in my hair. However, if I need to buy anything its about 3 things at a time. I will figure it out eventually. Hopefully, I should still be getting a car at the end of the month so fingers crossed on that one.
I am in the process of getting myself ready to volunteer with the hospice program at the nursing home across the street from me. I feel like I have been doing quite a bit of taking lately and I feel the need to give back. I am worried about my grandma and I feel like this will be my round about way of being there for her. I will be so happy to spend time with her in December.
I have an awesome new endeavor in the works, but I am not ready to share too many details just yet. You should all be ready for some stop you in your tracks news from me over the next couple months! :-P
For now, see you on the flip side!
