closing with liz. i hadn't done a monday in a few weeks. i felt a bit rusty. but it was good to be back with liz. marking out the unsold bakery on the register, getting ready for the end of the night. we both work day jobs, so we're motivated to get out of barriques pretty fast at the end of the night. unfortunately for us, the bree-liz combination does not allow us to leave within 45 minutes of close. ever. we've tried.

after spending the whole day (minus a quick trip downtown for brunch) on alli's futon watching mean girls, i headed over to scott and liz's place on my way out of town. two of the few people left in lax from my undergrad, but two of my favorite. scott was my graduate student advisor for student association my last year in la crosse. he's an awesome fella. we've kept in touch since the end of our advisor-advise relationship. i look forward to spending time with him and his wife liz when i'm in town. this time around he was able to show me me pictures and tell me stories about his recent two-week trip to india.

run run run run run run run away OH OH OH OH AY AY AY AY...

lemon drops. oh lordy, lemon drops. roadtrips to la crosse always end (read: start) with lemon drops. met up with marissa, nina, jeidy, and alli for a 'houses in motion' show. alli cooked us ladies (and dave) dinner at her place, and fed us full of lemon drops. she was so kindly offering me, and the rest of the party-goers, another round. did i mention there were lemon drops?

happy birthday meg :)

drinking wine with jen. that's all we do together. barriques on monroe street had a wine and chocolate tasting. the wines were zins, but we were concerned about the chocolate, mainly. and there was no disappointment. the two owners of the store were there and able to give a bit of insight as to what the tasting notes really meant. such as a '30 second finish'. unfortunately, seeing how we enjoyed a happy hour beer prior to barriques, we were only able to make it half-way through the wines before calling it quits.

knock knock knockin on heaven's door...

working from home. i had a meeting with my supervisor this morning, and then a meeting with her supervisor in the afternoon. which means i was loaded up with work (in a good way). i brought home the asthma health management program welcome letter for updating. the nice part about working from home in the evening is i can paint my nails. and answer ryan perket's phone call. and my roommate can drink pbr across from me.

let's get together and feel alright...


pottery class. helen is trimming her vase/kitchen utensil holder on the wheel like a pro. she's the only first-timer in the beginner class, but is still putting the rest of us to shame some days.

watching tv. nick ryan and i watched 'nick & norah's infinite playlist' (not as good as i hoped). afterwards the tv somehow ended up on top 50 best/worst plastic surgeries, or something tragic like that. uhmm. not sure how that happened... i commented to ryan on how sad it makes me to be watching tv at 7:30. he responded 'at least you're not playing brick builder on your blackberry'. touche.
