One of the cool things I get to do for my job is occasionally travel to places for alumni events.  Well in July I was lucky enough to go to Milwaukee, WI to see the Cubs/Brewers game.  This was really exciting for many reasons.  One, because I get to travel to a different city to put on an event - meet new people, see new locations and get to drive a little bit away from Chicago- Two, I get to see the Cubs play (Which the Cubs I am a HUGE fan of so this is way exciting), Three ...

So the sunday before was the big Green Bay game (well, the next to the last big Green Bay game).  I remember walking through the grocery store and saw a beautiful photo on the front of Sports Illustrated.  It was of Brett Favre with a football tightly in his hand and huge snow flakes falling infront of him.  It made me wonder... does it always snow in Wisconsin?  Because as I drive it wasn't snowing, per say.  But it was whisping around the road like white tumble weed...

I am so sad.  My poor little Chico died this morning.  Chico is/was a green cheeked conure and he's been with us for 15 years.  He was about 6 months old when we got him.  Originally he was my mom's bird, but I always played with him more and took care of him, so he was closer to me.  So close that he would recognize my voice and call out to me if he heard me nearby.  He spent many years at college with me, keeping me from being too lonely.   Only recen...

Just 3 hours until I have to be at the airport for my trip to San Francisco and this year I am planning on going light. One suitcase filled with my necessities and a backpack filled with some things to keep me busy during my 4+ hour direct flight. The "light" part is me without my laptop. Yes, my friends... I am traveling this year to my business/pleasure weekend in California without my best friend by my side. Why? Because my husband says I need a weekend of relaxation. How can I relax witho...

Random pictures and thoughts from my life!

My favorite place in Milwaukee is Riverside Park. Even though it's not exactly my neighborhood park, I probably spend more time there than other other area in the city. Kids will love the Habitat Playground, especially the huge spiderweb specifically the 15 acre wooded area south

Vandaag gingen we weer naar een pretpark Mount Olympus. Het was een pretpark wat gebouwd was door een griekse familie, waardoor oh, heel logisch het thema Griekenland was. Maarja ik sla nu de ochtend over.   ’s Ochtends gingen we een half uur voordat het ontbijt klaar was naar de ontbijtruimte en wat zagen we daar. VEEL mensen. Het was ook er krap daar maar dit was gewoon met 20.000 haringen in een tonnetje, krampachtig iets te eten proberen te bemachtigen. Dus ik en mijn moeder lie...

I normally don't blog on travel in my home state. However, I attended a festival in Waukesha, Wisconin (A Taste of Summer) Friday night and am posting photos. It was a small festival but great entertainment. OneRepublic was on the main stage.

It was cool and foggy when we got up, with a light mist rising from the pond.  There was algae and pond scum in the cold water, so I thought the "No Swimming" sign was unnecessary! The campground was nice, but desolate. There were trailers there, but they seemed to be empty.  We were the only souls around.  I found some abandoned firewood at a campsite nearby, and packed it into the truck. (most camp store charge $5 a bundle, so we scrounge when we can!)  We bought mi...
