I am really looking forward to this weekend. Buckets of family time, swimming, karaoke, walking in the woods, campfires, and being around people I love and who love me. I could use some of that ( Read more... )

In 25 hours, I will be picking up Doug from the airport. It has been a fabulous eight days. I got to see my Sue on most of our walks, work has been okay. Sure, last week there were tornados, but besides that it has been ducky. Daisy is as cute as ever. She is so much more social than I could ever hope to be. All she has to do is walk up to somebody ( Read more... )

The wedding was fun! I had no idea that Jacob and Holly were going to be standing up in it, but they were. Tatum was very cute as the flower girl, she's almost two and Gage and Harmony were the miniature bride and groom. And it was good to see my cousin Jamie, it's been years since I've seen her. This was an interesting wedding reception, yet ( Read more... )

My cousin Corey is getting married in an hour. I am wearing a skirt. Yes, you read right, I, Julie, am wearing a skirt. There may or may not be photographic evidence of this. I just got a postcard from Japan. Little one picked out one with a cute puppy. Awww. So now I am thinking of what to do, if I should drive myself to the wedding, hitch a ride ( Read more... )

I am back after a lovely week of dog-sitting. It's weird to be able to sleep in my own bed again. I got used to my bed at Doug's. And it's also weird to wake up and not have Daisy's huge head be the first thing that I see. I think I read three books while I was there. Some houses just encourage reading, and that one totally does. The entire week I ( Read more... )

Kudos to the Wausau Police Department who finally arrested someone in the Rhonda Mertes murder case that happened senior year of high school. This makes me happy, and I'm probably going to call Cassie if I can find her phone number anywhere. Wow. So this is what it feels like.

I went down to Madison Friday after work and ended up being Justene's bitch. Luckily I don't mind being bossed around by women. She wasn't even home when I got there, but luckily Jen was there so I could chill out in the apartment and not be terribly creepy by sitting in my car. The party was very good. Erica showed up and we actually got to hang ( Read more... )

On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court issued its landmark Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka ruling, which declared that racially segregated public schools were inherently unequal.

I went and hung out with Sue today. Sure, it was when we were working and I should have been out on the sales floor. But dammit, I miss my Sue and she misses me. They are forcing us to sneak around to talk. I even tried to hang out with her on break so I got my lunch and went outside and wouldn't you know it, as soon as I walked out the doors, she ( Read more... )
