we went camping this weekend. and by this weekend i mean friday night. here i am saturday morning ready to make the traditional much too large camping breakfast. we even had a bacon scented fire for a while. what more could a person ever want?! hey, look at how green those trees are! welcome to virginia friends.next is a picture of jim and his fire starting skills. look at him go. best camping moment: the fire was starting to die down and without any question in his mind jim jumps up, rips off his shirt and begins fanning the flames. kristi and i just sat there, shocked, wondering what in the world was going on. maybe some man ritual we'd never experienced before? a few moments passed, he came to, realized what he was doing and put his shirt back on and moved on to the blowing on the fire portion of the ritutal... which actual worked remarkably well!
after breakfast we did a little hike which led to a river overlook. i wish i would have brought my camera with me so i could have gotten some pictures of us there. instead i have this:
that's some guy from the internet. we'll call him steve. he looks so happy to be there. it was a really pretty view and some awesome people came and talked to us about how we should go to a berry festival. every single one of us decided that we wanted to be those people when we grow up. they were amazing. i bet they even know steve.
friday morning when i got to work i had about 30 emails and i was sooo confused b/c normally when i get to work i have about 15 emails. anyway, as i'm freaking out at the potential increased work load i notice that the majority of them are in response to an email with the subject: 2010 q1 sales contest winner. i open in the first email in the series, and who won the contest for highest percentage to budget for the quarter? this guy. oh yeah. i was 173% to budget for the quarter (being 260% to budget in march really helped on that one). my prize is coming in the mail this next week. i hope it's something awesome. like money. or an ipod. an ipod is not something i would ever buy for myself but if someone gave me one i'd think it was awesome.
i'm hoping to get a trip to california in some time this summer. i need a vacation soon. in fact, i would love to take a day off some time soon. work makes my brain crazy... i've been extra aggressive lately so i think that means i need a little break. ps sorry for punching you yesterday kevin (you totally deserved it though).

Your first picture looks photoshopped. I heart Steve.
Congrats on being a winner...although you are always a winner in my book!
P.S. I think it's weird how when people hang out with you a lot they start to sound a lot like you...like this Kevin guy and his comment about Steve...that sounds exactly like Elaina in my head...weird! Or maybe it's not that people start to sound like you just that I start to hear you voice coming out of everyone elses mouth...hmmm...this could be a problem.
