Afternoon folks! It started out a dreary Monday - I had to deal with Charter, ugh, the field rep was fine but the company messed a couple of things up, as per my experience, is usual. So now one extra phone call, lots of hold time, to fix it all. Oh well, onward. Allergies and sinuses are kicking my ass today. I thought I was rid of them when I moved up here, as last year they did not bother me so much. This year, they are wreaking havoc on my poor head and nose, eyes, ears, lungs. I think I will just stay indoors with my wine. That seems to work.
So I found a GREAT foodie place. It is called Outlanders and to my surprise is right up the street from me. They are not a big sit down restaurant but rather a pick up your food and go kind of place. They do lunches, which are amazing. I had chili and cheese covered rotini last week (yep in my diet plan). So they make big family size dinners to take home! Yay! So of course that very day I had lunch there from someone I had a meeting with, I called them up after reviewing their online menu and ordered a family size chicken and biscuits to go. I went and picked it up, it came with 4 slices of garlic toast and a large salad. SO no one touched the salad. The meal was good - not OMG amazing, but good. I expected it to be creamier. Anyhow, it was still good and I am looking forward to trying another dish! IT was about $30 - family size with the bread and salad and lasted us for 2 days - well dinner, lunch, lunch and dinner. so worth the price in my mind. Next, maybe chicken and broccoli casserole or just a whole damn pan of rotini!! :-)
We had a huge wind storm up here last week, I think in N. Wisconsin as well - winds were 45 mph+. So things in my house flew off shelves (cause why wouldn't we have all of the windows open when there is a tornado force storm outside) and broke. Oh well. Shit is replaceable. ANd well it was a deer skull, my heart didn't break. Just the deers head :-) :-) So my point was, that I never got out to the lake to see if there were huge waves until the next day and to my disappointment, there was none. I can't wait until November, when she is in full force and just screaming and throwing herself all over....she demands respect, she shows her angry side and yet comes down and kisses you gently on shore....love it.
Honey bought me a dishwasher!!! He really loves me!!! :-) LOL We havent hooked it up and tested her out yet but that is coming. We are focused on the old house and getting it cleaned right now. But you can bet your ass that baby will be put into overtime. I will cook something and make a bunch of dirty dishes just to go use my dishwasher!@ Thanks honey!
OK, well it is Monday and since Charter had me tied up this morning, I promised members I would stay here until 530. WTH was I thinking....then the gym, then walmart for a wireless adapter? Monday - scuse me - go to hell for now. :-)
- Trying to trudge through Monday......

This is my life. My perspective on all things yooper. My opinions. My experiences. Because this, this beautiful, cold, snowy, mosquito infested little piece of heaven up here is where I will be the rest of my life, Lord help me. I will never BE a Yooper. I will leave that to the professionals. But I am madly in love with one, so I have to learn to live in their territory. Some days are breathtaking and some days those breaths are full of swear words...if you get offended, go back South.
