Weekend Wrap-Up

I guess I have more then 3 readers of my blog :) I've been scolded by a several people for not continuing this blog, so as much as it might risk my job, I will continue!


Let's start with a weekend update. I haven't done one of those in a while. This past weekend was a fun one. Friday night I went to the gym, banged out a few miles on the treadmill then went home and watched my Friday night shows (OMG its really sad and pathetic that I have Friday night shows, really? Am I that big of a loser? Ok, don't answer that!). I watched TLC's What Not To Wear and Say Yes to the Dress and then promptly fell asleep by 10pm. Whew, I don't know that I can handle this lifestyle much longer. Its exhausting!


Saturday proved to be slightly more entertaining. Again, I went to the gym then met the crew out in Middleton. Say what??! Yes, I hung out in Middleton on Saturday. I met up at Middleton Sports Bowl and was pleasantly surprised to be handed a Madison BOGO drink book from my favorite valentine. Thanks B!


We watched the Badger's embarrass Indiana, then went 'bar hopping' in Middleton. We debated on doing this as we one of our fellow mates was pulled over leaving the Sports Bowl, but luckily it was only for a seat belt violation, in which he didn't even get a ticket! Ahead we went to Paul's Neighborhood bar. I was a Paul's virgin. It was fun. We all played pool and of course my team (Jeremy and I) sucked ass! I think I managed to get two balls in overall. I'm happy with that. Alissa and B dominated while Jenelle and her Mineral Point cop did alright.






Finally we ended the night at Club Tavern but left early because there seemed to be some old person band setting up and we were not interested in that at all. Although, we are border line old ourselves. There was talk of heading out to Outer Limits to check out the talent but it just wasn't that kind of night. Another time I'm sure.


Sunday was a great day because it was the Daytona 500!! I watched the beginning of the race at home by myself then went to babysit and got to watch my favorite driver win and my second favorite driver take second. Yeah for Jamie and Jr.! My nephew is now a big race fan and wants to be a race car driver when he grows up. That outta make his grandpa (my dad) super proud!! Ha!




Overall fun weekend. This weekend I'm looking forward to heading up to the Dells with some peeps for two nights of complete chaos. Friday nite at the Copa Cabana and Marley's and Saturday day and nite at the Chula Vista and water park. Yikes!

Jamie Mac

Can I just say....hell yeah, Jamie Mac!! FINALLY a big win! Congrats to my favorite driver!

I Forgot Two Things....

Two more things...

* I ran Crazy Legs this past year and beat my last time by over 5 minutes...hell yeah!!

* I did some redecorating, or should I say, actually started decorating my condo. This year will be a new bedroom set and a kitchen backsplash!

2009 Wrap-Up

For my 3 loyal readers :) I wanted to give you a 2009 wrap-up. I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to be keeping this blog as I've found it hard to keep up on it now that I have more responsibilities at work. Anyhoo, my 2009 looked like this: (in no particular order)

*I watched my Pittsburgh Steelers win the 2008/2009 Superbowl! Luv them!

*Made it through the entire year with no medical crisis!

*Moved into a new office at work, ready to get that promotion (but that will happen this year!) The new office part might see like not a big deal to most of you but because I used to sit by a super loud -80C freezer with constant noise and people around me, having a seat in an actual office with no background noise is a HUGE deal!

*Enjoyed my last birthday in my 20's. And boy was it a fun one! Oh ya, don't go swimming at 4am on a freakishly cold day at the end of August.

*Got my heart broken, still broken.

*Got to meet my favorite band of all time AND take a picture with the lead singer! I luv Tantric-yup, I do!

*Had some AWESOME camping/cabin trips this summer! Wow, how much fun were these! I can't wait to see what this summer will bring!

*Watched a few friends get married, a few get divorced and a shit load get pregnant. Ah, welcome to the late 20's, early 30's. Luckily I think this summer will be quite on the wedding front. I can't foresee any major weddings but who knows...

*Didn't get to go on a vacation in 2009. Boo to that! I'm making a resolution to NEVER let that happen again. This year will start off good by going to Vegas!

*I had a fantastic tailgate season this year, quite the rebound from last year's multiple misses with back injury and weddings. I even got to meet Wee-Man. Who knew i'd meet someone famous at a UW tailgate :)

*Bought a new car!! YES!! Long over due i'd say.

I know there are probably more things but that's a pretty good list i'd say. The year was full of great parties, fun times, some heartache, some lonely nights...but overall, I can't say it was a bad year. I learned a lot this year, mostly about myself but I also learned that I have some really great friends (not all of you!!) but some :) I also learned that some people never change. Ha, neither do I though!

I look forward to 2010. I'm not gonna make any resolutions or anything but I am hopeful (as of today, Jan 8th) that things will be better for me this year, possibly more exciting, full of great friends, great experiences and possibly a little love thrown in.

Baby Jackson

A big congrats goes out to Heather and Jason on their new addition, Baby Jackson Brooks. Congrats to the happy family :)

Merry Christmas!!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Here are some photos from mine:

Tyler ready to go home from Grandma's house...I agree buddy, I agree!

My dad's wrapping job for me....oh he tries hard doesn't he?!

"Let me open my presents already!!"

Shout Outs!!

I've been such a bad blogger lately. But its not ALL my fault. I moved into my new office two weeks ago and it just so happens to be with my boss. SO, I think you can imagine that I can't be on the internet as much as I'd like anymore, especially since my work hours have been all weird with our H1N1 trial. (That's a story for another time)

Anyway, I have some very important shout outs that require blogging. A lot of things have been happening in the world of my friends. Enjoy.

A big congrats goes out to T and her hubby in Chicago on the birth of their son Killian. Yes he is very very adorable!

Another big baby announcement and a big congrats to the Anderson family! They also had a son, Fisher. Super cute!

A big shout out to Jason and Heather for the purchase AND move into their brand new house in McFarland. I can't wait to see it. When's the damn party?!? :)

I also need to shout out to two ladies I know...Miss Angela and Miss Kristin are both kicking ass in the weight loss department. They are both down a good amount and I couldn't be happier. Keep up the good work ladies!!

A big shout out also goes to B my besty for being my besty, coming tailgating with me, making me CD's, eating dinner with me and for keeping me in check during the Vegas-booking fiasco! Thanks B!!

Another shout out for my friend Lil A. This shout out is a 'thinking of you' shout out. Stay off those heels and get better soon! I need you in full force!

Obviously I have nothing cool going on in my own life that requires a shout out, although my highlight this week has been that I ran 3.7 miles on Tuesday and 4 miles today. That's only news to me because I've been stopping at 3 and I just decided to go for some longer distances. (Watch out, Beefy is gonna get you!)

More stories to come....Badger Tailgating Wrap up....Vegas Plans....Things I know to be true today!

Happy Birthday!!

I wasn't near a computer yesterday so Happy Birthday (one day late) to my sister! The BIG 25!! Aw man, it all goes downhill now. Hope you had a great day wtih us!

Photo of the Week

So...this is me, with a bunch of condoms! Yup, that's right! We were out the other night downtown and these girls came around handing out condoms in honor of the right to say no or something like that. So I took 4!

Cheers to them :)

A Trip to the Pumpkin Patch

We took Tyler to the Pumpkin Patch this weekend. He was so excited to ride the tractor and get pumpkins!
