4/2-3 Weekend FUN

Fun: new shelves in the studio today.
Not fun: installing the new shelves with my exploding head. Although, I don't know how much help Dadoleenie is actually going to need. 
 
I need to move some stuff around.
 
What do you have going on?

I've got a baseball doubleheader today. There's a chance of rain, the windchill (thanks to the 20 mph winds) will be in the mid 30s. Not the weather Doubleday had in mind for his game I don't think.
 
At least I've got tomorrow off!

DW is working today, so me and the kiddo will spend the day together by ourselves. Should be fun...

I'm working part of a track meet today while my friend visits a grad school friend who got a job here. I'm also going to buy a TV stand and hopefully hang some shelves and pictures. What I'd really like to do is go back to sleep.
 
Still need to take pictures of the new paint job. I'll do so after we hang pictures.

Morning all
Had a ton of fun last night visiting with my friends from college. It's funny Bard goes out to CA to visit Joe and my friend Megan comes here to visit me! Usually I'd be the one heading out to CA this time of year. Would have been a potential 30's meet up!
 
Heading out to get some seed packets for the garden today and also looking at new bedding and getting some stuff for my mom and a present for Craig and to finish up the day my friends and I are having dinner at The Melting Pot for some cheesey/ chocolatey ( not in the same pot) goodness!!! 
 
I'm super pumped for today and tomorrow and for Monday which I also have off!

Fun right now is watching Pillow Talk. I like Doris Day and Rock Hudson!

Good morning all. It is a beautiful sunny 75 degrees. I'm have my brutal run over with so it is time to enjoy the day. I plan on mowing and weed eating the yard. Then I'm going to was the suv. Finally I am going to break out the old grill and cook some burgers this evening. Have a great day all.

Shelves are in. It's time for a nap.

gatorbob · Apr 2, 2011

I could use a nap too. In the last couple hours, the kiddo and I have played at the playground, ran around the park playing tag, played a little baseball, kicked a soccer ball around, and rode bikes. She's still wide awake, but I'm exhausted...

Mila and I washed big trucks at a local electric co-op for a band fundraiser today. It was cold and wet, but kind of fun.
 
It's one of those days where we get five minutes of rain alternating with five minutes of sun so you can't really plan anything outside. There's probably some chores for me in the garage and then I'll probably go for a long run on the TM and watch hoops later.

We really haven't done much today. A few errands this morning, then I ran this afternoon. DH is bring home dinner soon and I think it might be movie night!

Hey ya'll! It is an absolutely beautiful day here today. 
 
I am in full recovery mode from last night though. Ended up taking most of the day off yesterday, which was very, very awesome. Then last night we went to a childhood cancer fundraiser that DH was helping put together for the first time. It is a great organization, but really needs some financial help to really get off the ground. For years it was run by parents of kids with cancer - which is awesome, but they didn't have the time/resources/wherewithall to get the business aspect going. But that is all changing and last night's fundraiser was a big step in the right direction. Lots of our friends came out and DH's band played. There were about 150 people along with several "Badger greats" there, including Ron Dayne, Al Toon, Nick Toon, Megan Duggan (current best female collegiate hockey player) and Suzy Favor Hamilton. It was so nice of them to all come out to support the organization out of the kindness of their hearts (they were not paid). There were also two parents of a child with cancer who spoke and it was heartwrenching, but so awesome. Good stuff. Hopefully the organization will continue to grow and thrive. I am happy DH is so heavily involved. He is such a great guy.
 
Tonight DH's band is playing for a JDRF function and DS#1 is in Chicago with a friend. So I have a date with DS#2. Lucky me!!!

Holy cow, DD ran me ragged today. I have no idea where she gets all this energy from, because it seems like she never wants to eat at meal time. 
 
Everybody says that there's an obesity epidemic in this country, even amoung young children. I don't know how that's possible. If all little kids run around like my kid does, there's no way any of them can be fat...

hello?
 
 
I'm going to post even if no one is listening, ok?
 
ummm....Both my boys have made it to the semi finals in their hockey divisions. I was at the rink at 7:30 this morning with DS#3 and DS#2 has a game at 6pm this evening. Other than that, I've cleaned all three bathrooms, scrubbed the stove top (farGing piece of ceramic, I'd replace the damn thing if it didn't cook so well) and I cleaned out the fridge...oh...and I sang into the endof the broom handle while acting like a rock star in the kitchen between trips to and from emptying the dishwasher. Which begs the question: What do Rock stars do when they need to let loose? Act like housemoms? Or poor civil servants? Just a thought. It wasn't a deep thought, but it was thoughtful, if I do say so myself. And I do say so myself, apparently. Since nobody is around today! Must be Spring Fever. 
 
great now I have Michael Bubblé in my head singing Fever... Ah well, my only consolation is that maybe, just maybe, I put it into your head too. Hey! What do you expect? I'm on my own here! I've got no one to play with so, of course, I'm going to cause you some mischief. 
 
Mischief....hm....now there's a word that doesn't make any sense when you break it down. Mis-chief....hm.... Wrong-Commander.....Lose-Primary....Neglect-Master....I don't see it. I think Diddle dee dee, Potatoes!! should replace the word mischief from this point forth. So it is written. So it shall be done!
 
Well I'm off to cause some Diddle dee dee, Potatoes!! for someone else. This just isn't the same without someone to react to it....
 
Peace out!

Winterbabe, you are a riot!

For your Fever comment.. here's one right back at'cha..
 
Then I get night fever, night fever. 
We know how to do it. 
Gimme that night fever, night fever. 
We know how to show it.
 
I'll bet you don't need to be reminded of the artist.
 
Bob: Wonder who slept better last night- you or Jillian?
 
I. Am. Beat. Not a big day as far as tasks, but I was out in the sun for about 7 hours straight with a run and some outdoor stuff that I hadn't planned on. And I got a little spooked on my run by a truck/SUV that was cruising around WAY too slowly in my little subdivision. (on a .55 mile stretch, there are a total of 7 houses, and this vehicle was just plodding along.. and stopping.. and plodding.. and stopping.) They were looking for something, or someone. Or they were horribly lost. The vehicle passed, but didn't go ahead too far. At one point, towards the end of my usual turn-around spot, I decided i didn't want to get any closer, as no one was around IF something bad happened.. As I turned around, so did the vehicle. Could be coincidence.. might not have been.. Needless to say, whether it was a legitimate concern or not, I hauled ass uphill to the first neighbor's house. Then I casually walked to the front porch and started stretching as if I lived there. Stupid vehicle pulled just shy of the driveway. And stopped. And creeped up 20 feet. And stopped. This happened many times. Once they finally got out of sight, I started to run back at their direction, hoping to at least get a make/model of the vehicle. no such luck. It was still creeping along, but was out of my good vision range. It was either a 4-door truck or a SUV w/ tinted windows. After the break-in, I'm extra cautious about white unknown vehicles in my area. Grr.
 
It might have been nothing, but let's just say that while I will never be a Boston Marathon contender, apparently I AM capable of a bit of speed when I think my safety may be in danger.

Dude - remember I told you I was doing yogalates? Yeah, well, I've been slacking due to other obligations. But the group I was doing it for gave 50% of the proceeds for 6 week classes to a various charity. They did my GOTR group and raised almost $500! WOOT! I almost cried when I saw that message. Seriously. We can do a lot with that. Cue: doing flips if I wasn't so darn sore.
