Go Brewers

Two games in one week. Good friends. Good times.

Whoa Nelly

Do you ever laugh at yourself?? I laugh at myself all the time, like constantly! I do this for a lot of reasons. Mostly I laugh at myself because I say or do something really dumb and I can't help but laugh because its just that ridiculous.

The other day, I was driving in my car. For those of you who know me, you know that I have extreme road rage. Like to the max!! I yell at people like they are actually going to hear me. Anyway, I was driving and someone pulled out in front of someone else and I just said to myself "Whooooooaaa Nelly" with special attention on the whoa part! I mean, where did that come from??

Yesterday at the Brewer's home opener, I was walking down the steps and I tripped and rolled my ankle. To keep from being in extreme pain, I just laughed at myself. DUH, what an idiot.

But my favorite story of my recent idiot moves that caused me to laugh hysterically at myself is when I went online to buy some condoms. Now, I'm a single gal, you know, wanting to be prepared in case I might ever have sex again :( so I went online on Amazon.com to buy some condoms. Of course I can't just buy them in the store because, well that would be too easy right. So I'm looking online and I find one that looks like a good deal. I was in a hurry because I was at work doing this because I don't have a computer at home.

Anyway, I was in a hurry, clicked order blah blah, placed my order. Three days later I get my box from amazon and it was a pretty big box, but since I also ordered a book I figured it was bigger b/c of that. WELL, I opened the box only to find a HUGE bag full of condoms and my book. I looked at this huge bag and thought it had to be a mistake. Why on earth did they send me so many condoms??? I looked at my order form, and confirmed the next day at work. Yup, I ordered 100 condoms!! Seriously, 100!! Um, do you really think I need 100 condoms ready at all times for all this sex I'm having. OMG I just laughed and laughed at myself because it was just so ridiculous!

Moral of the story is two fold: Always double check your order EVEN IF you are in a hurry and secondly, laughing at yourself is ok and necessary. It makes the day go by :) Anyone else have any funny stories involving you laughing at yourself??

Another Fun Weekend Away

I had another fun weekend away at Kristin's parent's cabin/house in the Dells area. There were a bunch of us girls up there drinking, laughing, and being silly for a night. We lucked out with the weather and were able to be outside. I'd say this was probably the best trip we've had up there! Cheers to next year!

Pretty campfire!

All the girls (plus me) at the cabin

Me being my Rockstar self!

Ah, gotta luv it!

Here is what happens when you drink too much...in the Dells...with good friends...lots of music. Complete chaos ensues!

Lots of dancing at Marley's. Fun place...slippery floor

And then follow that up the next night by drinking and going down water slides and sitting in a hot tub...this is what happens...

The alcohol made me dance, I swear! But I did coin a new move....The Broken Bone. Its not illustrated here very well but, ya, its pretty fantastic.

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
