I blame it on....my boss

Do you ever have those moments when you think to yourself, "How in the world did I get here??" I seem to have them a lot.

For instance, as I began to lose feeling in my toes from being cramped up and folded in the trunk of a car, driving through Scotland on my way to have dinner with would-be Korean royalty, I thought to myself, "What events have led me to this moment in time?"

One year, I ate In and Out burger for Thanksgiving because of a little event out in the desert that just so happened to coincide with this national holiday. As I took down my double double animal style, I thought, "Gee turkey would be nice right now. How did I this happen again?"

One of my favorite moments was when I was dressed in business attire and got a call that a full truckload of OU (as in University of Oklahoma, my arch rival) logo'd golf carts had been dumped on the main street in front of our host course and they were blocking traffic. So it was our job to go move them. Immediately. In the pouring rain. No rain pants in sight, I grabbed a towel and hoped my leather dress shoes would survive (they did not, tear) as I proceeded to drive 75 crimson and cream golf carts off Mingo Drive. Another one of those moments.

Most of these moments, nay, ALL of these moments seem to all revolve around my job. Don't get me wrong...I work with some of the best people on the face of the earth. Some days we are poised and put together and I actually learn a few things. Some days we resemble a frat party.

I consider myself ridiculously lucky to have the job that I have and for the most part enjoy it. But every now and then, I raise an eyebrow, cock my head to the left and think, "Huh. How did this happen?"

I had another one of these moments tonight as I was packing for yet another 12 day adventure at an event. It's not the packing that got me though. It's the fact that I am packing for a...wait for it....Bass Fishing Tournament. Yep. Bass Fishing. Who would have thought.

I have absolutely no clue what to expect. Should be....interesting? And again I think....How did I get here??
