I think Twitter is killing my motivation to blog. So in the interest of history, here are some of the things that are going on in the land of Mo these days.

People I’m Impressed With:
JMo has been promoted to an Inside Sales position at work.
Jamie has been promoted to something fancy-pants at his work but he has to move to Cleveland!
My cousin Sara and her friend Jewlee performed at open mic night last night and landed an actual paid gig in the process! See them August 12 at the Rumba Cafe!
Ellen had another 4.0 quarter at CSCC.

Up and Coming:
Fourth of July weekend will be busy and packed with family. Can’t wait to see Miss Persephone on Friday, not to mention her parents, who are bringing her in from St. Louis.
Saturday is the historic tour of homes and balloon festival in Ashland.
I should know by next week if I’ve gotten into Capital’s MBA program for a Fall start.
Haircut tomorrow!
A trip to Boston with Mom next weekend.

The GMAT sucked but it’s over. The roof leaked and the basement flooded with sewage, so that was delightful. Ellen cleaned it up, which was even more delightful. June was a roller coaster of a month at home and at work and July is shaping up to be more of the same in terms of schedule insanity. If school does start for me in September I can only imagine how much nuttier things will be. I hope I’m ready for that.

I’m feeling a bit old and busted these days, and it doesn’t help that I look like the shaggy dog with an unfortunate stress-induced acne outbreak. Consequently, I keep talking about things like, “going completely blond!” and “Getting a tattoo on my forearm. Last night, Ellen shook her head and said, no, you don’t want to go blond, it’s messy and painful and you won’t like it, concentrate on the tattoo.” I yelled out, “BUT I NEED A CHANGE!!!”

I want to clean out the garage and set up a new recycling station. In the interest of health, money and energy I want to see if I can go several months without drinking beer. I want to get rid of all the televisions and only listen to music. I want to purge STUFF.

My head is full of all kinds of things I want to change, which probably means there is fundamentally something else going on but I’m not entirely sure what it is yet. I don’t necessarily feel discontented, just kinda cluttered and boring. WTF.

And that’s the news from the land of Mo.
