Erik and me

Here is a picture from this weekend. Me and my gay best friend Erik. We dated in high school, and he was my prom date! Let me tell you nothing was better than having a gay prom date!

Love you lots E!!!

Dog-a-palooza

(thanks Suz for the witty title!)

That is the best way to describe our new place. Now don't go thinking we bought a place where they had 15 cats that haven't been outside in 10 years. It's just that they had a black lab and well they shed. No big deal right, the place is very clean expect for some dust and dog hair in the fridge. Now why am i bring this up? Well i'm HIGHLY allergic to animals, I have a hard time riding in a car where a dog or cat has been. (Sara can concur) It's pretty shitty actually. So before we can do anything we have to get a cleaning service to come in and scrub the place from top to bottom. Now normally I would do this but when we were there on Tuesday I was having a tough time and thought there is no way i'm going to be able to clean up dog hair. So that's it, i'm paying to have someone clean an already clean house. Done and done.

In other news, I had a very nice lunch with Sara and she's going to take me home so i can give her 500 bridal magazines! (before MG throws them out) I'll take her to the new place and.....

this posted before i finished... but this is pretty much what i wanted to say! HA! I don't blog for a few weeks and this is what happens! :)

Lots to share but wanted to post the first pic of MG and I in our new place!!!!

AND, big congrats to the very lovely Lib and Dear D on their wonderful news!!!!!!!!!!

First of a few

Here are some people pictures. I still have a few more people who will pass along their pictures from the weekend. Here are a few from my mom!

Friday night my dad hosted a welcoming dinner for Music Guy's parents. My step brother, step sister and their family came also so did my mom and brother. A very nice way for MG's parents to meet my step mom's kids.

As I posted about on Friday we had a 6:30am flight out of Boston. We all got up at 4:30am and were at Logan by 5:30am and in line only to be told we would have a four our delay for "mechanical problems". They had to reschedule us to take the next flight at 11:15am (a flight from Milwaukee to Boston was coming in at 10:45am) which they said was going to be carrying the part to fix our plane. And being the first flight out of Boston means that plane was there over night. So you're telling me they had no idea about this last night and it was only at 5:30am they found it out? There was no notice before 5:30am the flight would be delayed. Midwest Air was recently sold and I can assure you our flight was not full and neither was the 11:15 flight so it makes since to cancel the 6:30 flight and put us all on one. We did get out on time and made it to Milwaukee around 1:15pm. Got our rental car and we off to Madison in no time.

I took them around the UW campus and stopped at a local bar for the freshest Miller Lite and fried Cheese Curds, it was a small order. You really only need a taste, you want more, but really shouldn't.

The rest of the evening was spent at my dads for some family time.


Here I am with my mom and brother
Music Guy and I

Saturday Morning we headed to Union South for a over the top Tailgate party. My Godparents rent a room every year and it is catered with brunch and "tailgate" beverages. 8:30 is a little early, but for the Badgers you have to just go with it! Part of the Marching band comes and puts on a little show. We had great deck seating overlooking the show.

My dad picking on me.....

Here we're getting out game faces on!

The band!

Who ever this guy is....I love your hat

Badger Red

My team came out on top but Music Guy was a good sport!!!

It was such a wonderful weekend I got to spend a lot of quality time with my family and was so happy to share it with Music Guy and his parents! I will have more pictures to share as they come in.

I enjoyed my day off yesterday. I spent some time at Natick Collections, and JCrew I was not impressed with your new store nor the people you have working there. I then went to Barnes & Noble sipped a Latte and read a few errr 5 gossip magazines. Then it was off to get my weekend errands done and tend to the my house cleaning.

We were at the gym a little after 6 this morning and all day i'm a few hours a head of myself. I think my afternoon is going to drag a tad, nothing a Diet Coke can't take care of!

Happy to be home!!!

And we're home

We had a very uneventful flight back this afternoon. I will update you tomorrow with stories and pictures! And there are a lot of pictures.

43 shopping days left...I am off tomorrow and am looking forward to maybe getting a few gifts out of the way. I do know I'll spend a good hour plus at Target as the last time I was there I was rushed, and I just do not like to be rushed while at Target!

I tried all weekend to blog from my BlackBerry and it was successful. I tried to post on Friday about 10 times and finally it worked. I was getting so ticked, it's "easy" to do it that way.

Off to Papa Gino's to pick up my Super Veggie Pizza!
