Wednesday Roll Call

Good morning, well I think it is morning. I woke up about a 1/2 hour ago and started thinking about work. When my mind becomes active in that manner there is nothing  I can do about getting back to sleep so I just get up. But, I still wish I was here Is there anything special going on in your world today? Not much for me. I am thinking about work but it is just a learning curve that I have going on right now. It is nice and challenging. It will wear me out if I let it so there is a fine line for me.  Not much else other than we are going up to WI also this weekend but just for all of Saturday, 'sploring around Kenosha, Racine and then staying in Cedarburg. Cedarburg is supposed to be an "antiquie" town, shops and a winery that we have wanted to go to called Cedar Creek. We are staying at a small inn right near the main town area. We are just going to "wing it" and not make any specific plans, just drive. Oh, we did also want to go to Mars Cheese Castle right at the state line. It is supposed to be a huge cheese store. It has been featured on the Food Network. Dave has been there and he also says it is big. Lisa on Tuesday Roll Call mentioned Madison, WI and the farmers market and she is correct it is fantastic. The capitol is on a square and all the streets go out from there like spokes on a wheel and the market is on all four (sidewalk area) sides of the capitol building. It is one of the best we have ever been to. And the produce is fantastic.   & Christine

Good morning Illinois and Chris.  I woke up feeling like I could use a nap..lol I won't be around this weekend either, we are going down south to an anniversary party. Now I am hungry for cheese, thanks Chris..lol Dee

Don't blame me for your being hungry just because I mentioned cheese!! LOL  Breakfast one of the most important meals of the day - now go eat so it gives you energy to tackle the day.

Good Morning Chris & Illinois! I am working today and now getting ready for the "sometimes annual Back to School Tie Dye Party" at my house on Sunday.  I just LOVE to tie dye and share the fun with friends!  I will be running to the various second hand stores at lunch for the next couple of days looking for stuff to dye.

We went to Cedarburg in July for a Marching band show.  It IS kind of antique and quaint.  We have friends who own the brewery there with their family, and Cedarburg is also famous for their ice cream.  They have a really good fat free, sugar free ice cream that is a very occasional treat. I also agree about the farmer's market in Madison.  It is great!  Of course, I just LOVE Madison anyway. I would be interested in meeting up with everyone, just tell me when and where, and maybe us girls from this area can car pool in September.  The apple orchard is pretty cool, and maybe all you girls from "over there" can car pool then. Still crossing my fingers for everyone with approvals out that they come back positive, and soon.  The waiting is the hardest part. Everyone have a lovely day!

Dawn, thanks for the info on Cedarburg. I will mention all that you said to Dave and we will go from there on what we see and do.  We will all have to put our heads together and see what we come up with for a couple of days of a meet and greet. With so many schedules (and families to take into account) some might not be able to dome to one or another day. You tie dye party sounds like fun. Never have been to one. Chris

I will just say morning today since it's not been very good already.  I went to the dentist yesterday afternoon to have my crown (that fell out on vacation) recemented and it has not stopped aching since then.  When it was just in there with the temp stuff it didn't bother me at all.  Now the entire side of my face is hurting. Also there is something wrong with our almost 10 month old pup, he's not eating and won't go outside and he's just not acting right.  Sounds like we'll be taking a trip to the vet soon too.   There is also something wrong with my youngest son, he's got their weird head tic going on and everyone tells me that things like that are neurological, so I need to get him to the dr as well.  I have it on video what he does to show the Dr too.   Other than that crap, work today will be very busy and then it's home to do homework for me, and take Austyn, the youngest to the dentist to get 2 cavities filled, I will also ask them about my pain, and then home to rest hopefully.   I hope you all have a great day and that things go well for everyone! Lots of love and hugs to all

Sure hope that you nail down what is going on with everyone's health in your family including the puppy. Here's hoping that you get a most deserved rest that you need. Chris

Good Morning Illinois, It looks like it will be sunny  today, and the weatherman predicted lower humidity. Hope he is right. With this heart surgery less then 4 months ago, The humidity we have had this summer has killed me. So does the AC. So, I am looking forward to fall, when we need niether the AC nor the heat on, and the humidity is gone.  My big plans for the next 2 days is to pick up house, and do errands. I am sure DH will think of places that I need to go for him.  Friday, is training for work, to start back full force on Tuesday. No, I do not work for the school system. I work for Community Action, for the Liheap program. We help low income people with thier high utilitiy bills. The Mars cheese Palace is great, Makes me hungry too. On Saturday, we will stop in Monroe, Wi at Swiss Colony and another cheese place, before we start home. Lisa

Humidity, yucky pooh pooh. Even I do not like it after loosing weight.  We have been to Monroe, WI. I do not think we went to any cheese places.  I always knew about Mars Cheese Castle but never have been there. I do not go much past the Renissance Faire, Dave goes up to Milwaukee on business every once in a while. Chris

Good Morning All - It's already started out to be a busy day.  Corporate is coming in for the next two weeks because we are going to a new computer system and training starts Tuesday then the following week we go live.  So of course my boss tells me.... "work as much ot as  you possibly can"  I want this place to look really good when the president of the co comes in.  I'm so dang tired right now I feel like I'm going to fall on my face and he wants me to work as much as I possibly can.  Real Funny!  So, I'm going to be a busy bee. Chris, your weekend plans sound like so much much fun. Dee, I hope your interview goes well.  When is it scheduled for? Monica, Sorry to hear about the toothache.. That really stinks and then to top is off w/ a sick son & pup.  You have your hands full. Dawn, The party on Sunday sounds like a blast. What would work out best for everyone as the get together is concerned???  Saturday or Sunday? Either day is fine w/ me.  I just need to know so I can make sure I schedule the day off. Hope everyone has a great day! Christina
