Ya know what we need here in the midwest?

More rain!!!

These pics came to me via my mom, who got them from her mom, who got them from her sister in law... this is up in Richland Center Wisconsin, which is west of Madison, WI. My grandma grew up there. And so the weather forecast for tomorrow? More rain. We got more rain after these were taken as well.

So yeah... thoughts on Food

I am going through these weird eating phases. I was going through a risotto phase, thats pretty much done with now. Now its Italian. Gnocchi, Fettuccini, Cannoli, chicken tetrazzini. I miss Paradiso Perduto. That was a good restaurant. It closed and a Mexican place moved in. Yeah, not even close. Imagine the best thing you have ever eaten, this was 10,000 times better. I really want some good italian. Ooh, or some sweet potato polenta, from Heaven on Seven. They used to have a location right near my brother which would be handy but now its all out of the way. Ugh. There isn't anyplace good to eat around here anymore. Okay, I take that back. I can satisfy my sushi craving with a twenty. There is a fabu little French place not too far away that has a great Tuesday night dinner deal. But by in large, most of the places around here are giant chain places: your TGi-Applebee-Chilis places that all taste the same.

Came home today

I got a happy surprise today. I came home from work, after stopping at the grocery store to pick up a few things for dinner, to an extra car in the driveway. My big bro came home to help in the flooded basement!! Howe nice was that? I have the best big bro.

Basement...

I haven't been down there yet today, but my mom says its flooded again, on the finished side. That being the side where all my stuff is. It has been a day, I tell ya. Goose was supposed to go to the vet today. I was running around for 10 minutes trying to locate his travel cage and couldn't find it. Finally I get in touch with my dad who knew where it was and I pull it out, trip on either the stool or the Treadmill, not sure which, fling the cage across the floor, hear my ankle pop, and down I went. I am not exactly sure what happened next- if I said some foul words and then said goodbye to my father or the other way around. I then attempted to stand and get goose into his cage, he bit me and flew onto the floor, I called the vet, told them it just wasn't going to happen today, crawled to the freezer for an ice pack, waited for goose to decide that he wanted his ducky, put him back in his cage and crawled back to the couch. It hurts pretty bad, but I will be okay. I just need to figure out how to get that carpet tile out of the basement and I think I am going to paint the floor a nice grassy green color.

This might make me get up in the morning

So, basically when it goes off those little puzzle pieces go flying about and the alarm starts screaming at ya. It won't shut up until you collect the bits and put the puzzle back together. I am pretty sure it would either wake me up or end up in bits against the wall.

I saw this and thought it was really funny

On a side note, I wanted to show everyone my awesome new light I got for my room. A special thanks to Poppers for putting it up.

Don't ya just LOVE Ikea?

crazy mosquito!

So, last Sunday I woke up all itchy! Somehow a mosquito got in my room and decided my foot was an all you can eat buffet. You can't see the ones on my leg or my other foot either. I think the grand total was 14, 9 on my left foot alone! It was just evil. I hate bugs.

Gotta give 'em props!

I have been meaning to post this for awhile.
