May 13, 2008 Fun at MAMA's
What a good time we had at the Madison Area Music Awards. Everyone looked so nice all dressed up and the performances were great.

He...

|
April 2, 2008 : Food Court Musical
A few weeks ago I posted a video where about 100 people stood like statues all at the same time in the middle of busy Grand Central Station in NYC. Well, I found another cool street theater project.

|
March 25, 2008 : about vacations and things
So you know what’s worse than the flu? Getting the flu while you’re on vacation. Sigh… At least I felt good for the Springsteen show which was one of the best shows evah!
|
March 13, 2008 : Vacation a Go Go
Please forgive me if I seem a little spacier than usual these days. First, Jonathan Suttin is wrong. The switch to daylight savings time DOES mess you up for a while. I’m also getting ready to go on vacation.
|
March 10, 2008 Tim's turn
Naturally, there has been lots of Packer talk going on in my household. We watched a great tribute to Brett on Channel 15 on Saturday, and this Packer-come-lately got a chance to see what all the fuss was really about.
|
March 7, 2008 : are you observant?
I've been spending lot of fun time surfing through You Tube lately, and ran across a series of videos about a British guy named Derren Brown. The things he has done blows my mind...

Feb 28, 2008 : Do you know trivia?
I missed it. Last weekend was the big trivia competition I always participate in held in Cottage Grove. I was pretty bummed out because our annual team captain decided not to do it this year and by the time I found out, it was too late for me to pull together a team.
|
Feb. 27, 2008 Sorry Kitty he's MINE

|
Feb. 25, 2008 OK, everybody freeze
Imagine yourself in a public place like an airport or the lobby of a concert venue before the show and all of a sudden 200 people freeze in their tracks, taking a sip of coffee, bending down to tie a shoe, in an embrace or checking their watch.
How would you react?

|
Feb. 21, 2008 Oscars Schmoscars
Someone had to remind me that the Academy Awards were being announced on the BIG OSCAR telecast this Sunday.
I have to admit, I don't think I have seen even ONE of the nominated films and I don't even know who a lot of the actors are.
When did THAT happen? I used to go to the movies every weekend. When I was in High School, kids owned Friday nights. Every week, kids from all over the little towns would go to one movie theater in an even smaller town. They had the only...

|
Feb. 18, 2008 : What Me Worry?
Cabin fever can manifest itself in many ways. Some people get depressed, some people sleep a lot,. some get out of town and others , like my partner Tim, get overly productive. Not that I am complaining.
|
Feb 15, 2008: short attention span theater
Now I am totally in trouble. A procrastinator doesn't need yet another thing on which to waste time.
|
Feb. 14, 2008 : Valentine's Day
I didn't have a Valentine for a long time. I'm not the easiest person to live with. I am stubborn, smart mouthed and have lots of opinions.
|
Feb 12, 2008 : It's all my fault
You know it's not going to bode well for you when the Weather Channel sends a reporter to your town.
They were ( are?) in town to help acknowledge our record breaking snowy winter. I think the snow is my fault .
|
Feb 11, 2008 : Amy, Amy, Amy
So I was all set to write about the Grammy's and started taking notes and everything. I was watching from my DVR and it took me a while to learn that most of the awards had been given out already and I needed to watch the crawls.
|
Feb 8, 2008 : yes we can song
Did you see Barak Obama's speech he made in Illinois on the evening of Super Tuesday? Whether you support this candidate or not, you have to agree, he is an inspiring public speaker.
|
Feb. 7, 2008 Scary Driving Story
First things first… a BIG THANKS to Tim for digging me out and helping me get out of my unplowed parking lot. I even made it to work on time. Another GIANT thank you to the hard working snow removal team.
|
Feb. 6, 2008 : snow and stuff
What a day, huh! I'm not sure how excited I am to break the record for the most snow in a given season, 76.1 inches, set in the winter of 1978-79.

I don’t know exactly when it happened. It sort of snuck up on me and now I fear there will be no turning back.
|
Jan. 31, 2008 : variation on a theme

Am I a wimp?

|
Jan. 17, 2008 : a personal anniversary

|
Jan. 14, 2008 : Green and Gold and White
What a weekend! A Packer victory and a successful Bridal Show.
Saturday’s bridal show was very busy for the first show, which began at noon. I could hear men all over Dane County saying, “I’ll go to the bridal show with you IF we can be home by 2:00”. It did get a little quieter for the 3 PM show, I will have to admit. Tim the die-hard Packer fan actually
|
Jan. 11, 2008 : Bet you didn't know...
It’s probably no surprise to you that I am a jeans kinda gal, so I bet you’d be surprised to learn I am involved in fashion shows.
|
Jan. 10, 2008 : those crazy Brit gals
