I'm Not Going to Make Excuses...

but i do apologize for the lack of updates.

in my defense, i've been a busy bee with several things. two weeks ago, i had after school events at vincent high school and maple tree on tuesday, wednesday, and thursday. my quarterly report was also due that week, so i was scrambling to compile information from the (lack of) surveys returned to be me by staff and parents.

that week wasn't all bad, though. kelly came here for mid-semester break. she came up on thursday night and left sunday afternoon. during her time here we ate a lot of yummy food, went to the milwaukee art museum, saw where the wild things are, went shopping, ate dinner at safehouse, and went to panera twice. i had a lot of first-time experiences during her visit, actually. on her first night here we went to an indian restaurant right around the corner from me that i never tried before (turned out to be great, and they deliver!). friday was the first time i've gone to the milwaukee art museum, too. we also went to the movies at fox bay cinema grill, which i've never been to before, either. it's a really cool theater, since they serve real food during the movie (sandwiches, pizza, etc). the first thing i said when we walked inside the lobby was an exclamation at the fact that they have a full bar in the lobby. we went to baker's square after the movie, which was not such a great experience. on saturday night we went to safehouse for dinner, which was quite an experience. we had to dance an irish jig to get inside, which we were applauded for. 'nuff said.

so now all the work i did last week and everything coming up this week seems mundane in comparison to the craziness of that week.

i was feeling a little sick this weekend, though. the sore throat came and went in no time, so i'm just feeling congestion right now. of course, i still went to the ingrid michaelson concert. i did leave after ten or so songs, but it was already 10:15, and I'm usually in bed by 10. it was a great concert, so i'm glad i went.

i'm really excited about going to green lake on thursday. it'll be a great way to reconnect with non-dpi vistas in the area.
