Highlights for August and September

 Highlights for August:


Got to go to Noah's Ark water park, got to see a movie in theaters.

Got to spend time with another friend

Heard from one of my friends that she'll finally get to see her daughters again, and won't have to deal with their evil dad. Just hope it goes well.

Got a new toy for my cats. 

I hear Joni Ernst won't be up for re-election.

I finally got my petition signed and handed over.


High Lights for September:


Democrats won a special election in Virginia


as of 9/20/2025, I did the Milwaukee Children's Congenital Heart walk for the 3rd year in a row and 2nd time as a team. I still hope my team can get a little bigger over time. Not having as many people this year as last year is hopefully just a minor set back. 

Another Iowa democrat flipped a senate state seat in a special election, breaking the super GOP majority. Congratulations, Catelin Drey.

I downloaded and have since been using a running app for my phone to help me track not just how far I've been running but how fast I've been running. And as of 9/29/2025, I have brought my average mile time down from a 12:14 to a 10:44. So I went from a 12 minute time to an 11 minute time, down tot the 10's. And I finally no longer weigh 150lbs. I've finally broken the 150 pound barrier. This might be the motivation I need to want to eat healthier as well as start running in some races again.

Good stuff that's happened so far as of 1/5/2017

So what's happened so far, this year: 1. At the start of the year, got $500.00 to deposit into my account so that I have more money for the month to help me just get by. 2. 3 days later I got my new debit card in the mail 3. Might be getting a new job in Waukesha, real soon. (hope this one works out a lot better than my last one) 4. Days are getting longer and lighter out after 5pm. (of course you don't really notice it more until after the first 7 to 9 days of the month) 5. After this week and last week of temperatures being below 20 degrees outside, we're finally going to have a bit of a "January thaw out". Basically what's going to happen is after this week, temperatures are going to get back into the 20's and 30's. I can live with winter weather being in the 20's and 30's, but anything under 20 is too cold! 6. We've been invited to Minnesota to see some relatives. (Sure hope Jason can go, and that we can find someone to take car...

it's been a while

Ok, all I have to say, is that it's been a while since I've posted anything on here. LOL! I've just been busy with just trying to enjoy the summer as much as I could. I can't believe it's over now. I think it went by too fast, if you ask me. And one of my all time favorite holidays is coming up. That's right. Halloween. This last weekend, Jeremae and her boyfriend, Tim, finally got married, so Jason and I went up to spend some quality time with her. I really honestly wish she and Tim were living closer than they do. We could have so much fun doing so many fun things together. I mean, I'm just chalked full of ideas on what kind of things we could maybe do together. One idea is going to a club or bar somewhere in Milwaukee or something like that and dancing the night away, although we're now either in our late 20's and early 30's.  Especially when there's this one song I've been dancing to, called "Wobble Baby". Damn that song is ...

stuff

Well, tonight I'm hopefully going to be heading to my storage unit/Motel room/apartment that I'm suppose to be living in. As far as I'm concerned, it's just Friday and Saturday Night home away from home. I sure wish that when I'm over there I could have my computer and internet set up. Maybe that way I'd say there, more. But with my computer being at parent's house as well as the internet and cable access, and with the fact I have no Hot water in my apartment, it's the only thing that keeps me coming back to their house. What I've been wanting to do is go over the lyrics to Sarah Mclachlan's song, "Possession", and say what sounds kinda creepy, like not just something a stalker would say but someone who's abusive might also say, and just pick certain parts of the song apart to see if maybe that's what she means when she says certain parts in the song, like the chorus part, for example that goes, "And I would be the one to h...
