I have a lot going on this month! I should actually document it, huh?
LAST WEEKEND
I didn’t take many photos (I’d say oops, but it wasn’t an oops, I was enjoying the moments), so you’ll get words – on Friday Bobbi and I saw The Fall Guy and got dinner at Red Robin after for a belated birthday celebration. I really enjoyed the movie and chatting after. We see each in class sometimes, but we don’t properly catch up there.
On Saturday I ran a 5K, and in the evening we went out to dinner with Jen, Troy, and Declan. It was fun to get together and chat with them.
I worked a lot last weekend, blah. But I was trying to get ahead since this month is so busy.
THIS WEEKEND
On Friday I had dinner with Birchie at Twisted Plants in Milwaukee. She was out here exploring the area and I’m so glad she reached out to me to see if I was available! It was lovely to meet in person and really connect. You get to know someone through reading their writing and leaving each other messages, but in person is always best, right?
Our food was delicious and we went for a walk along the lake and in the woods after dinner. It was a great evening!
On Saturday Steven had the day off (yay! that rarely happens!) so we had a really lazy morning where I got some painting done.
In the afternoon I went to Milwaukee and tailgated with Rachel then we went to the Brewers v Cardinals game. We hadn’t seen each other since the 10K we ran together in the fall and had a lot of catching up to do! Tailgating weather was beautiful, and the game was fun – it was Star Wars night and we got a double-sided (light and dark side) shirt, and there were characters, and lots of fun Star Wars themed games/etc on the big screen. We had a wonderful evening (I always do with Rachel!).
No social plans Sunday but I have to share a photo of the necklace the cats got me for Mother’s Day!
THE REST OF THE MONTH
My marathon is next weekend, and Ella’s 2nd birthday party is the weekend after. Then it will be June. AHHHH!!!!!
Your cats are such thoughtful children! Happy Mother’s Day! 🙂
Thank you Amy! Happy belated Mother’s Day to you!
My cat has never gotten me a present! Lucky duck!
Yay for meeting Birchie in person. It’s always so fun to meet bloggers IRL!
LOL! I do feel very lucky! Funny, when I asked them about it, they acted like they’d never seen it before 😉
IT IS! I haven’t done that in ages!
You got to meet Birchie?!?! COLOR ME JEALOUS!
What a sweet gift from your babies! My daughters gave me NOTHING and we are going to have a DISCUSSION about this!!
I did! She is wonderful!
I was thinking of you yesterday and wondering if your girls gave you anything! Eek! Happy belated Cat Mom Day!
It was so good to meet you! I had to keep reminding myself that we had never met in person before, since it feels like we’ve known each other for years.
That burger at Twisted Plants tho…I’m still dreaming about it.
Your fur babies have great taste in jewlery;-)
Yeah yeah marathon next weekend…NBD.
Right! That is the special thing about blogging relationships. We probably know more about each other than coworkers or even some friends. LOL!
Me too. And I need to hear what you got at Vanguard!
Thank you!
Ha! Just trying to be chill about it 😉
Your cats are much more generous than any cats I’ve ever known. Love the necklace.
And YAY BIRCHIE!!! How fun that you got to meet in person!
Sounds like May is full of mayhem for you, too, and I’m very sorry; I hope it goes well; and I hope it’s over FAST.
Aww thank you!
It was so fun! And she told me how you’ve been going to silent book club together. Jealous!
It will be over so so fast! Then we have lots of fun summer plans 🙂 But they are more spread out (for now), phew.
Ooh, you met Birchie AND YOU HAVE A MARATHON THIS WEEKEND!!! Good luck! I can’t wait to hear all about it.
Thank you!
OMG, you got to meet Birchie! I wish some of you lived closer. Dang it.
I am so sad I couldn’t come meet anyone when Birchie was here. Also? I need to make a pilgrimage to that restaurant. I might need to make that happen this summer, since I also need to make a weekend day trip to MKE to see the art museum… Hm…
I am sad you missed her too. Def visit Twisted Plants next time you are there. Vanguard is really good too!
