Jilly- Hope you guys got the basement & house taken care of & didn't take your frustratins out @ Timmy's.
Sandi- Glad you're in your new house, and what a cute kid!
Apryl- I think you should go wherever you want, you will do well @ either place. Madison is closer to the Dells & a LOT of kids compared to the 715. my best friend went there, graduated from their medical school. He skipped a grade & was taking classes @ the college up the hill in HS for math & science. It was only at Madison that he could be around kids as smart as him. I spent New Years Eve 1999 in Madison. The fireworks were amazing.
Be careful @ Four Star Video, the soft core pron is mixed right in w/the regular films.
DO NOT RENT AN APT ON MIFFLIN STREET. You must trust me on this.
All in all, Madison is very close to the Dells for weekend excursions (Sundara Spa, anyone? Kalahari?) and closer to me than you are now. If you came to Milwaukee for fun I could tell you where to go & not to go.
Howberley- Dachshunds rule all. I've had mine for 10 years & wouldn't trade him for anything. That looks like one happy dog w/Howie's mom.
As for me, I have been working 45-50 hour weeks, quite the switch from being unemployed & temping the last 18 mos. I get my second paycheck this weekend & it's going to be AWHILE before I'm all caught up w/bills. This includes eating healthy, unfortunately. It's very cheap to be fat. I'm doing the best I can, but it'll be a month yet before I can do as I had been, leaving the healthy groceries at work for easy access. But it WILL be done. I had a woman at the PKD conference tell me in no uncertain terms that I wasn't doing my kidneys any favors by being this heavy. I asked her name & where she was from & from that she preached to me about fitness for half an hour.
I wake up with this body every day, lady. I see it nekkid, I wash it. I know it's big. But thanks for the tip, Captain Obvious.
My friend Lisa is getting married 9/4, should be a good time.
I'm doing the Walk for PKD on September 17 in Green Bay. I hope to raise $500 in donations this year. I have also emailed Cojo, since he was on ET talking about our disease TWICE this week.
Not much else going on. Hope everyone's doing well.
School starts Sept. 1st and then things will get interesting. In the mean time, I'm just trying to relax (school is extremely stressful for me, and I've already started to have anxiety about it.) and enjoy summer. I got a job a few weeks ago, and I like it. I'm the salesperson in a clothing store downtown. I get to work alone except for the guys in the attached men's section next door. I work slow shifts too, so that means I can get all of my reading in.
