Wisconsin: an update.

Me and Wisconsin: bullet-style.
  • Weather here = weird.
  • A 10 year old gave me what appeared to be a gang/"bring it" symbol in the Wal-mart parking lot yesterday. I remain perplexed.
  • Owen as superbaby.... ridiculously cute.
  • Dating = fun. Who knew?
  • I'm boycotting the Y this week. Maybe if I REALLY miss working out, I'll enjoy it there? I have classes there starting next week - cross your fingers they're fun (but really, how can Latin Dance not be fun?).
  • I miss people I know. Props to you guys.
  • The knee still sucks - next update 11/5.
  • Work remains good (hooray!). I am the lead person at our site on some studies. Fun for me.
  • Why is it that new cars can't have their oil changed at oil change places? Anyone?
  • The Packers are 5-1.
  • Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches are my new favorite thing. Yum.
  • I really like my apartment. Too bad it and my job are in MF.
  • If the curb is painted yellow at the corner of the block, wouldn't you assume you can park in the middle of the block? Yeah... tell that to the MF PD.
  • Ashley is really hard to get ahold of.
  • I am still in the market for a coat. Do you think I'll hate it if I order something online?

Autumn at last!

Today is a perfect fall day; the sky here is the blue that only shows itself in the fall and the leaves are all changing. Hooray for vivid oranges and reds!

This is my favorite season, and I am so happy to be able to partake in it once again. Tennis year round may be fun (thank you, FL), but I missed seasons so much! Supposedly, some neighborhoods here go all out for Halloween - I can't wait! If I'm this happy now, I can't wait to see what I feel like once I realize it will be cold/snowy for Christmas! However, once Christmas is over and it hits me that it will be [ridiculously] cold/snowy for months, my tune may change.

My parents started the journey east this morning - I bet they will get to see all kinds of fall splendor as they drive through Idaho, Montana, ND, and Minnesota. While it's not New England, I'm sure it will be pretty beautiful.

Update: work = fun again. Hooray!
