where were we??

The long and tedious drive from the house in Wausau to the cabin somewhere else took about three hours. You know that feeling when you are tired, but can't for some reason sleep. Whether it be family or work, you just shouldn't sleep......

As soon as we pulled up to the also obscurely located cabin, as their house took 20+ turns to get to, we saw what I knew was their puppy but looked like a baby horse running toward us. I had always called their dog Roque (rock) a puppy because he is only about 7 mo. old, but to negate the fact that he is a puppy he is also a grate dane!! Therefore, he doesn't realize how big he acutally is; with his huge paws flopping in and out while he is running toward us, and of course trying to jump on us. The jumping I didn't mind as much as the very sharp claws in the eyes.

As we start to settle in and take our showers, my brother and I think we have some peace to ourselves and time to finally relax. Naturally, fate thinks otherwise, the door opens and in come our grandparents. To give you an idea behind our reaction, we love our grandparents. They would do anything and everything we would ask them to if we needed help. However, the past dictates they have tried to behave more as our parents then our grandparents. Which, of course my brother and I have not taken to.

To lay down a little foundation, my grandfater went to Purdue and is very proud of that fact. They are unhappy and confused at the reality of my brother who doesn't want to be forced into school. They also don't understand that I don't want to get a Ph.D., I would rather go to Genetic Counseling. So.....with this in mind we go back to the original story.

It probably took about the maxium time of 5 min. for grandma to ask me "so.....are you taking any classes to get ready for grad school yet?" switching between looking at me and looking at the counter in fromt of her. Giving her my answer of no basically she turns her questioning to my brother...........

things contiuned......

OK, so we finally make it to Wausau, WI. However, my brother and I aren't completly tired yet and our momma is waiting there for us giving us directions over the phone....... her house is in a very obsure part of town. So, after finding out they have brownies in the kitchen; I partake in the complete sublime feeling of chocolate and watch a couple episodes of Furtama with them.

Unknowningly, the next morning at 6:30ish (7:30 real-time), we start to wake up, because we need to leave early to get to the cabin. After sublime brownies and minimal sleep we piled in the car where I tried to subject everyone to Broadway music, but it all seemed just way too slow for road (mental note, broadway fun at work, not good road music). Luckily my brother had some good CD's and we popped a couple of thoes in.

many, many things

I am back from a very eventful week! I left for WI on Tuesday night. Of course there had to be a horrible downpour on the drive up there, because it couldn't be easy for my brother and I just to drive in dry weather at 10pm at night completely lost. So, we pulled off the road somewhere in the vacinity of Madison with only a small speck of light from the semi in front of us and waves of rain coming down on us. (Thank goodness I wasn't driving, but that didn't refrain me from freaking out)

After the rain died down and many emergency vehicles passed we started thinking about either driving or finding a hotel and finishing the drive in the morning.........The rain decided to all but stop, and we decided to just finish driving. Of course getting out of the exit back onto the highway was a lot more difficult than we though. Apparently, there was no easy way. After about 10min. of going over the bridge where the on ramp should have been we took a road out of town onto another highway, which then ramped onto the highway we actually wanted to be on. Naturally at 10:30 ( 11:30 real time ) this is really funny to me, but then again I wasn't driving............


Keep in mind this is only the first night of vacation.......I just don't have time to finish at the moment

Yeah short weeks

I only have to work for two days this week....Monday and Tuesday!!!! Tuesday I am going to WI with my brother to see our momma, whom I haven't seen in months. So, obviously I am excited!!!

I have tried to convince myself to stop trying to have a baby and just let it happen, but that doesn't stop me from thinking about it and doing research on-line about what I can. I still think the universe is just waiting for Erica and I to get pregnant at the same time. And since I haven't heard anything from her, I am going to assume that she isn't yet either. We will just have to keep trying sweetie!!!!!

I did manage to spend about $25 for some new jeans......haven't found any fun or boob shirtst to buy. However, I am disheartened by a recent picture of myself in the fun new dress I bought, I didn't like it........I don't know we will see if I will still buy more fun clothing or not. Either way, I like the way I feel in that dress, so I am going to wear it.
