Or, between two breakfasts. Here’s the first one: On Tuesday morning I got up at Omigod (4:45am) and drove to the train with Mark. We were in Chicago at quarter to 9:00 and my flight wasn’t until 12:10, so I went looking for breakfast and ended up at Corner Bakery. After breakfast, I took the … [Read more…]
It could’ve been foreshadowing of what was to come in my yoga class, where of course the teacher was going to talk about well being. Or it could’ve been the weather – which is back to “normal” for late February in Wisconsin, cold, snowy, sunny. Or maybe because I was happily thinking that plans I’d … [Read more…]
Take today, fer instance: I went out for a walk, and it’s a beautiful sunny day – but that just filled me with dread and grumpiness. Because it’s FUCKING FEBRUARY in Wisconsin and it’s not supposed to be 50°. Or Friday: After reading friends and friends of friends facebook posts about how they’re dealing with … [Read more…]
I was on my bike in the driveway thinking that I liked the look of a pencil skirt and leggings and loafers. Then I started pedaling and realized said pencil skirt doesn’t really allow the best range of motion for biking. The whole day was kind of like that. And I still have a cold. … [Read more…]
The theme for this week is corn, and the new Graduate students’ orientation/Bootcamp I’m coordinating, and binge-watching Outlander before they take it down Thursday. And not blogging. [portfolio_slideshow pagerpos=disabled] Mark’s been in Chicago since a week ago Monday, except for coming to meet me in Milwaukee to see the Baseball Project, last Wednesday. So of … [Read more…]
Looks like last year, I wrote about Mother’s Day on the Monday after, so I guess I might as well continue the tradition. And, I’d like to take a little farther back look into the weekend’s activities. On Saturday, I hosted a benefit for Forward Theater, kind of a progressive dinner, starting at my house, … [Read more…]
Obligatory, maybe, but oh so nice. [supsystic-slider id=9 ] Friday was a funny, back and forth kind of day. I had a dentist appointment at 2:00 and a short meeting at 4:00. The dentist confirmed that I hadn’t damaged my teeth or jaw permanently in my face smashing, yay! Before that, I finished grading all … [Read more…]
Wait that’s a song …. But could insert overworked and underpaid, stupid busy, or any number of other clichés. Including spring ahead – the time change everyone hates (well, except Mark – he likes that it stays light later in the day, but I miss the light in the morning) that I am suffering the … [Read more…]
[supsystic-slider id=5 ] So I just kept hauling stuff out of the freezer, and making it into dinner. Like I said, Friday we had pasta. On Saturday we had pork roast and stuffing. The stuffing had cranberries and apple. I mixed up the usual stuffing stuff, dried bread and celery and onion and chestnuts and … [Read more…]
I guess I’m having a normal week, at least in terms of not going back and forth to Chicago all the time. Rach is here, and came in last Thursday, which is unusual; she usually comes from Sunday to Saturday. It was so that she could work on Friday, and then over the weekend, prepare … [Read more…]
