Last weekend, my dear friend Teresa became Mrs. Moore in a lovely ceremony at Badger Farms. Even though I had to call it an early evening because of a bloody migraine headache [an unholy result of the triumvirate PMS+hunger+freezing] , it was a wonderful evening. I am so honored that I was able to be a part of Teresa and Chris' special day. I'm just sad that our "punk" picture turned out all blurry! The rain was kind enough to hold off for most of the day, and the Badgers even pulled off a win for the happy couple :)
[migraine eyes, not drunk eyes!]Work has been crazy busy lately. We had a transplantpalooza. Now, while it's true that I like the complex cases, I also appreciate a break now and then. Read: Megan does not want to do ALL of the transplants! I had a stretch of 4 days where I did a transplant every day. That's a lot of physical and emotional work.
Yesterday, I got to see my bestie JOB and meet her BF Geoff [unfortunately, not pronounced "gee-off"]. He is a cyclist in this crazy stuff called cyclecross or something like that. I guess the best way to explain it is like a cross country steeplechase on bicycles. He's very nice and even gets bonus points because he used to be a gymnast!
This week is another 4 day work week because on Friday morning, I'm off to Ames, Iowa, for Danielle and Derek's wedding! Don't worry, I've been reading some heavy material in order to make up for the IQ points I'm going to lose going to Iowa ;) Just kidding...sort of. I'm going to be reading a passage from a Neil Gaiman poem called "Instructions" for the ceremony. Wonder how many people will show up in camouflage...come on Dani, a November wedding with a green/brown color scheme? I'm afraid it will be too much for *some* of our family members to resist!
In other family news, my godfather and Uncle Jim is back home after a stay in the ICU because of a seizure. He's doing very well and has some appointments this week to try to figure out the etiology of the seizures. I'm so happy that he is home...and I'm sure the nurses are too :)
Today I did an intense cleaning of the apartment and managed to misplace my phone...but I found it in the couch cushions. Tux is still not a fan of the vacuum cleaner. I also baked some cookies. It smells delicious in here!
Don't forget to vote on Tuesday! Feingold/Barrett/Nelson/Richards/Larson/Moore! And get this, I'm going to vote for a Republican for the first time EVER--Steven Duckhorn for Milwaukee County Sheriff. I'm sick and tired of David Clarke, a DINO who has become a darling of the local right-wing media by aligning himself with the Tea Party. I really don't think that the county sheriff should be a partisan office at all, but that's what we have, and I'm going to jump to the other side of the tracks for this race. I cry a little bit inside whenever I see a Clarke sign next to a Larson sign...and shake my head each time there's one with the Ron Johnson and Scott Walker ones. Whole lotta confusion going on.
peace and love,
