Day 18: Please Pass...

...the Ibuprofen. Movin kinda slow.

I believe I may opt out of my own version of NaBloPoMO or whatever it's called.

I like the idea of writing every day. But when I feel like I've had to chose between blogging and reading to my girls or responding to personal emails it's not as much fun.

And when I travel to WI at the end of the week...no high speed internet.

Wha? No. Fer Real, yo.

Blog pimp'n will continue though! There's some good stuff out there!

goodnight y'all!

Day 4: I wonder if Rock Stars get up for Ibuprofen and go straight back to bed?

Courtesy of "Just Brenda"...


"How did Burger King get Dairy Queen pregnant?"

"He for got to wrap his Whopper."

I can't post Just Paula's joke, because "It just ain't right...".

Other things overheard at the Cheesehead Hash...

"Please pass the schnapps!" "Start Suckin!"

"Just Brenda and Just Paula in the circle for having the same haircuts!"



"Ditka!"

"Waukesha sucks!"

No Dead Squirrel, "58" doesn't beat ANYTHING in Mexican.

I also had to say, out loud, several times that there is "No Puking in the Mommymobile." Ever.

I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton but a couple of 36 yr old moms partied like we said we would. Like ROCKSTARS. And then Paula got up and ran 5 miles. Like a ROCKSTAR in training. I opened up a diet coke and waited for the icepick to stop stabbing my left eyeball.

Day 3: And Plenty Of Sleep!

I slept for 9 straight hours last night.

That means I can party like a rock star tonight!

Saturday is a hashing day!

Oh, there will be pictures of azzchaps. Or assless chaps.

And speaking of someone who I'm sure has worn a pair or two, ....

A Challenge...

I can't for the life of me remember the acronym for the National Blogging Month whatever. NaBloPoMo??? I don't know...and there's too much clicking involved to get it right. So, good start yes?

The idea is to blog every day for the month of November. I did not officially sign up (I suppose there's prizes or publishing deals or something) but I'm going to give it a shot. I know I don't have all that much to say. But I'll try and get my funny on and see what happens.

Any suggestions? Anything you're dying to know?

My girls are coming this weekend! :) I'm so excited. There will be toasted raviolis and shopping and Cheesehead Virgin hashing and Schnapps (which reminds me...) and some wineries.

Missouri is FUN, y'all.

What I Did On My Summer Vacation

Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets.


So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason.


If you get a chance, take it.
If it changes your life, let it.


Nobody said it would be easy;
they only promised it would be worth it.


This made me feel lighter today. And so did the time I spent at home. I have a feeling that my hometown will always be "home" for me. It's not that way for everyone. Some people can make the place they live their home. I haven't yet. Home is a place I go back to, to feel the most like myself. Even after 15 years, familiar faces and familiar places all bring back so many memories.

The lake was in it's most glorious mood. Not angry and muddy.




I was able to spend some relaxed time with my parents who are so good to me and hang with my nephew who grew up when I wasn't looking.

I was kissed by thousands of butterflies as I rode my bike along the almost deserted Point Beach Rustic Road.

I got to spend time with my best girls and their kiddos and got to watch mine and theirs play in the same pool that I spent entire summers in when I WAS THEIR AGE. And very little had changed, aside from being smaller somehow. And the familiar faces!




This trip, more than other recent ones, stirred up long ago forgotten memories. Happy ones. And I am grateful.
