Although the weather wasn't nearly as nice since my birthday post, I did manage to get in a good day of hiking before it got too cold! And wouldn't ya know, this day of hiking was planned a week in advance, yet on the morning of, I decided to wear Satan's socks which led me to slide in the most ungraceful manner across my wood floors jamming my foot under a door causing significant skin removal and blood loss.... But nothing to keep a good girl down and I still hobbled along!!! I've found that perfect and beautiful days can be few and far between here in WI, so I'm not about to let a foot injury stop me (no worries, I did not photograph my injury this time, only because I was too busy lying sadly in the fetal position)
The entrance to Le Hike
I did purple aka Rainy Dew (I think 5 miles...a shorty, but good enough for a bum foot)
My sexy pose- obviously
I also did what I believe is my final Milwaukee beer tour. It was the tour at Best Place. A brewery once upon a time, now more of a historic museum. But, still got beer!
Schmoozing with the Beer King
Meg came to visit me end of April and we had a blast tooling around Milwaukee! We did the staples I like to show everyone new to my city (who says being tacky isn't fun!) and hit up the Miller/Coors tour, the Bronze Fonz, the SafeHouse, and Miller Stadium for a Brewer's game! Meg let me drag her all around Milwaukee and did it with a smile on her face especially considering she just had LASIK the day before driving to see me! Crazy girl (or should I say lucky girl, since she won it for free! Congrats!!!) I resurrected my kick-as goggles so we could even be matchy matchy!
Double the sexy!!!!
Miller tour (beer tastes better free)
Out on the town playing giant Jenga
I was blissfully unaware that Meg was cheating a lot of the game! I just thought she was really good!
We caught up with my work friend, Annie, at the Brewers game! This was Meg's first ever professional sporting event
Monday's are free Public Museum days for Milwaukee residents; and dontcha know I happen to have Monday's off! So off to the museum I went! It was your typical museum (buncha old shit and dead animals) but I must say I was tickled in the discovery of the secret snake button! There's a hidden button in the museum that makes a snake rattle - and I was simply enamoured with the idea, and with the fact that I now know where it is! I'll add this to my list of Milwaukee things I am now 'in the know' about (along with the SafeHouse password). I'm so (un)cool, it kills me!
Me in Old Town Milwaukee- The door jams were so tiny!!! Or I'd be an amazon in the late 1800s...
Hanging out with the Irish Folk Storyteller
Dino attack!!!
Bugs bugs bugs!
I turned into a BEEEUUUTIFUL butterfly
Rock candy biotches
Secret snake button!
Chillin' with the pygmy and the giant
My favorite part of the museum! Jim sat down cause his pants were itching and bothering him
Low and behold- the culprit was last nights undies that never made it out! BWAHAHAHA!!!
Hiding the shame.
In other day-to-day tooling around Milwaukee life, I've been going out to dinner with girlfriends, going out on the town at night, and overall, just having a splendid time! I want to thank all my awesome friends here - because of you guys, I am really enjoying the brew city and can see myself here a while (which if you know me, is a HUGE accomplishment: HUGE)
I'm hitting up a bridal shower on May 5 (Congrats Brenna!!!) then spending the next few days getting my ducks in a row before I leave (and trying to survive work- it always gets so monotonous right before a vacation and my 10 hour days feel like 15!). I can't wait to tell you all about my trip when I return!
Oh, and I can't end this without saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my mama! Love you!
