Aspie chick with a wild streak

In past blogs, I had written how we had to say good bye to our yellow lab after 11 years, the day after Christmas, 3 months ago. I also had written about how maybe I needed to have a stuffed dog made to look like her, rather than have one made to look like Jason's dog. Well, as of today, She's here! This afternoon while I was on the phone, I heard someone ring our doorbell. So when I answered it, what should be at our front door but a white box. When I read to see what it said on there, I knew instantly, it was Libby. Now I can hug her for real. In some ways it looks exactly like her. I try to associate it with the memories I have of her. It's also I think good practice for our cat, so if one day we do get another dog together as a couple, then he's prepared. It's also probably the closest he's going to come to being around a dog, for the time being. At least I can give this cuddle clone a hug, since I had missed Libby so much.

Ok, here's what I've noticed. Every single month so far, I've seen indications that we're going to be moving again, after our lease is up in Palmyra: 1. First day of the whole year, Jason told me he wanted to try to move us back into Waukesha 2. He did say that when our lease was up that He wasn't going to want to renew the lease for another year of living out here 3. When he had a job in New Berlin, briefly, he had said on the phone as well as to me that if he worked in New Berlin, that we would have to move there just so we'd be closer to his job. 4. He also said that worst case scenario was we move to Pewaukee. He had also talked about later this year moving back into Waukesha at the beginning of March of 2018. 5. He said that when he was out and about yesterday, he had been looking at apartments and their prices. I hope he checks to make sure that they're pet friendly. Let's hope there's more indications that we will be able to move back ...

Well, here we are, approaching the last full week of another month gone by. Through out most of this month, temperatures have been in the upper 30's and 40's which isn't really a bad way to start out the beginning of March considering in past years, temperatures would only be in the 10's and 20's at the beginning of March, and they'd warm up more than just 20 degrees by the end of the month, if we were lucky.  No, the beginning of this month temperatures were in the 30's, which is usually a little warmer. And after temperatures being in the 30's and 40's most of the month, as of the final week in March, they're finally going to be moving up into the 50's and low 60's. I could not ask for a better way to finish out the month of March. As mentioned earlier, high lights of March are always the shamrock shakes, daylight savings time, and weather getting warmer, if we're lucky. This year, I finally got to try that Irish cream flavored Gela...

Ok, here's the scoop for this week: Just been trying to go to they gym every single day this week, like usual. This last weekend we had Day Light Savings Time, and thank God days are finally going to be getting longer. Jason and I also got to go the Rockabilly Chili cook off in Milwaukee. And out of all the Chili that I've tried this year, there were 3 of them I really liked a lot. There was a German Chili made with Sausage, sour kraut, and cheese. That was really good. Then I tried a vegetarian chili, which had a sweet taste to it, which I thought was good. But the one that I thought was absolutely amazing this year was this chili pizza. I wonder if they were there last year as well, and I just avoided trying it, because I was afraid I wasn't going to like it. Well, anyway, the pizza chili was really good. It tasted exactly like pizza! Now it makes me want to make some pizza chili just like it.  Note to self: The German Chili I tried this year is from The Old German Beer...

Well, here we are, into another month. I survived another Winter season. This week was the last full week without Day Light Savings Time. Starting on this coming Sunday, the clocks get turned an hour ahead, and we have more day light. In this first full week of March, my boyfriend and I ended up celebrating his birthday, together. And last weekend I bought him a new t-shirt for his birthday, and he got a couple of cards. On Monday this week, we celebrated his birthday by going to Red Lobster, since he had been wanting to eat there for his birthday last year, but didn't get to. Jason also got another new job in Watertown. The one thing I like about it is that he gets out of work early on Fridays. If at the same time he doesn't have to work on a Saturday, and here I already booked reservations last month for the Kalahari Resort for 2 adults, I think this might work out. And I"m pumped. I had been saying that right now our chances of whether or not we'll be able to move a...

Ok, when we first moved out of Waukesha into Palmyra, Jason had said that if we lived out here, it would be just for a year, and then we'd come back. So far, we got through living out here for another season. Hard to believe that January of this year was already 2 months ago! So let's see. We got through living in Palmyra in the fall, and we just got through the winter while living in Palmyra. Now we have to get through the Spring, and summer. I mean we got through living out here in September, October, November, December, January, and February. And we still have March, April, May, June, July, and August. So that puts us at the half way mark. I'm hoping maybe later when it gets a little warmer and nicer out, maybe we can start looking for a nicer place to live somewhere in the Waukesha county where pets are allowed. There's also a chance we may have to stay put a little longer than expected, until we can find some place nicer. The good news is, that neither one of us wa...

Ok, first of all I'd like to say, it's great to have access to internet and cable in our apartment, again. Not a bad way to start out a new month. In the first full week of February, temperatures might have been in the 10's. And then in the 2nd full week, temperatures may have been in the 20's, but got into the 30's and 40's. This last week temperatures were in the 40's, which was a nice change of weather. And in the final days of February, temperatures were in the 50's. I just wish temperatures being that warm could have lasted. into this month. My boyfriend also has gotten a new job in New Berlin. In a way, this is good because now we'll have a little more money if he's working. And if he has a job, that means he'll have a chance to have more money, as well as an easier time saving up money, if need be. That also means he'll have more money to pay off his monthly expenditures which may mean for me that if he has more money to pay for w...
