If a tree falls in a forest...

Not much going on in Milwaukee-land. Which is good or bad? Not quite sure sometimes! Just living life. It took me a long time to realize that I can't keep waiting for my life to start, that it's happening every day, but now that I have realized that it makes everything much more bearable.

Someone hacked into my yahoo account, which is kind of scary since I have some creditcard stuff coming into that account. This happened about a year ago also, and took a while to fix. So, consider me frustrated. Or should I say color me frustrated?

Turns out I never had a staph infection, but they don't know what it is/what it was. They are treating it as acne, but I've never had acne like this before, and can't imagine I would get adult onset since no one in my family suffers from that. I'm going to hear them out, but dont' know that I'm 100% satisfied with my level of care. I can only partly blame the doctors though, because I know their time constraints, etc.

Tianna and I saw 27 Dresses with our friend Beth friday night. Loved it. But, I'm a sucker for a brainless, thoughtless romantic comedy. Anything with a happy ending is what I want to watch. Am I alone in this? I hate watching movies where it's just one bad thing happening after another-don't we get that enough in real life? I don't just enjoy romantic comedies, but movies like King Kong or 9mm are just too much, you are too edgy watching it and can never just relax, which is why I would be watching a movie in the first place.

I'm trying to think of anything else going on, and honestly-I've got nothing. Just getting integrated into the new position, working at the Deucetree again, nothing major. Oh, I've got big news-one of my best friends Kelly is pregnant again. Wait-everyone who reads this probably already knows that :)

Don't just sit there....

Again, I will start with apologies about having been so long. Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in my life. Last weekend I went up north to see some awesome friends. Friday night I got to Nicki's after taking off directly after work. I missed her little sex toy party (aw shucks), but we went out to Lakeside, one of my favorite haunts in Menomonie. We had a great time, drank a few beers, had a lot of laughs, the usual.

The next morning is when the true coordination began. First we woke up (duh) and went to Woodville to see Sarah, Kelly, and Emma. We stopped at this new bakery in Menomonie called "Cravings" for something to bring, and were on the road. A shy 20 minutes later, we were there! Sarah's new "twin home" is adorable, and it was great seeing everyone. Emma is adorable, Kelly is great, Sarah is Sarah is Sarah (which I love), and the maple syrup was room temperature, the way it should be :)

After Sarah's we took off for Menomonie, to switch vehicles, and then run to get Nicki's girls before the game. We headed to Durand and got Amelia. It was nice seeing Durand again, but always brings back such odd feelings for me. We drove past my parents house, and I'm so glad I wasn't alone because I would have been a mess. There are two trees and two bushes missing (my dad would be pissed! no-just kidding), but otherwise, it looks the same. After that we went to Ella to get Alexis and then headed home in time for the game.

Jenny and Ani arrived right before kickoff, and it was great seeing them. Mikey arrived shortly thereafter, along with a few of Nicki and Jay's friends. The game was great, the company was fantastic, and the taco dip was flowing like wine. Jenny tried to put Ani down so she could stay a little longer, but that was a no go. So, the four of us (Nicki, Jay, Mikey, and I) played some Wii and I fell asleep by 9:30. Oops! I woke up at 10:30 to get back to bed by 11:30. I'm seriously getting old.

The next morning was a quick breakfast, more syrup at room temperate, and a quick getaway. I was on the road by 11:30 (okay, 11:50) and home by 3:00. Let's do the math-I drove way tooooooooo fast. But, I made it home, none the poorer.

But, I would like to make a quick mention of my quote. I finally read it, and finally realized it's true. The thing is, I only make professional goals, never personal ones. Why? I always reach (or surpass) my professional goals, am I that afraid of failing myself personally? Am I afraid of being happy? What is it? While I know what I want long term, I guess I don't know what I want for myself in the present and the steps I should be taking to get myself there. This is what I will be thinking about for the next few weeks, as a heads up. So, if you want some deep conversation about life and goals and all that, hit me up. But, you will probably just get a quasi-deep, superficial conversation and a few laughs, so don't be surprised :)

Also, I love cribbage. I play it whenever I can. I'm obsessed. I should join a club. Or a support group, I'm not sure which one.

All right peeps, that's it for now. Talk to you soon!

Sorry it's been so long

Hey everyone, sorry it's been so long since I've posted. Nothing too exciting on the Ande-front. I was sick for New Year's, so that was a bummer. Although, it did give me an excuse to skip my least favorite holiday! Haha.

I'm starting the transition into my new job, which is exciting. The learning curve is always a little weird with something like this, but I like it all the same.

Christmas was fantastic-I won at the casino, and also won at Ho Chunk a few days later. I got to see some friends over the break/vacation, which was much needed, but is making it that much harder to get back into the swing of things!

The next couple of months I am going to be no fun-I apologize ahead of time. I'm going to really try to save money, which also means I will be no fun. If you want to play some cribbage or watch a movie, hit me up and I'm all yours!
