And then there was one... week. :-)

Here's the first entry in the blog competition. After reading the little brother's version.. i'll try to keep mine a little more up-beat. There are no rules for mood of the entry so anything goes.

I'll probably keep my blogs in the form of "I think." Peter King of Sports Illustrated writes part of his weekly "Monday Morning Quarterback" column with "Ten Things I think I think." I like that format and it usually provides for a good read. So for the most part, that's what I'll be using to fuel my entries.

I think broom ball is a very fun sport when played with the right people. Granted not all the right people were in attendance for our first game, but for those that were, it turned out to be a blast. This is the first "new" sport I've picked up, or tried to do, since logrolling / boomrunning. Something about learning new sports is just exhilarating to me. I still enjoy my favorites of basketball and golf, but new sports are challenging and always lead to some fun times because I don't care if i'm not that great. I'm out there doing something fun! Of course, the fact that we won our first game helps out the team moral quite a bit, and it just makes Wednesday nights that much more enjoyable.

I think this winter has a lot more time associated with athletics then I had anticipated. I like getting out of the house every once in a while, but on Sunday nights, Wednesday nights, and any other night Kelsey and I decide to go to the gym, it just seems to help the winter pass a little quicker. I'm sure our wedding anticipation helps too. :-)

I think i'm ready to begin my part of the wedding planning. I'm in charge of the slide show, the ceremony, and 1st assistant to the most wonderful wedding planner / bride to be in the world! The more I can help out the better I feel about everything. Now if I can just find the time to do this stuff before it gets too late! :-) Motivation is high right now, so I don't see it as a problem.

I think i'm ready to live on a structured budget. This would be the first time in my life that i've kept a thorough record of every cent that i spend. I'm tracking where it goes, what its for, how much i have left over, and hell... i might even save a couple bucks! I promise.. its still me, the same crazy spender i've always been. I just have a little thing called discipline. Plus life has a way of making you plan for your future when you're an elderly 26 year old. :-)

I think i'm ready for a temperature above 0 degrees. I can't even go outside to play hockey when its this cold! Seriously, there is something wrong when I can't go skating for a week straight!

I think i'm ready for this week to be over. Its been an off week and I just would like to have a nice couple of weekend nights with some fun events. Kelsey and I are going to the Chanhassen dinner theater to see "The Producers" on Saturday night. I think I might be able to turn that into a little romantic evening... right? :-)

I think that's about it for now. We'll see ya next week!

P.S. Should I win this competition, i can't decide on the "wrestling move" to use on my little bro. I'm debating between the Sharp Shooter, or the Suplex. Any other suggestions are welcome.

HO K PEACE OUT!
