That’s right, I am. Actually, no I wasn’t, but Hamm’s beer was. In fact I am enjoying a Hamm’s Premium right now, but I must say Hamm’s Golden Draft is most definitely my favorite. Speaking of beer, I recently was hired at a liquor store, as a clerk/stock-bitch. The majority of our sales are that of Organic beers and wines. This community wherein the liquor store is situated, consists of individuals wishing to, if not already fully participating in, a ”natural” way of living. There is a co-op and several restaurants dedicated to vegan dishes. Eating “healthy” is not particuraly my thing, as I do enjoy the consistent burger, steak, fried chicken and/or anything that can be deep fried. So, needless to say, I have censored my love for true Wisconsin fare, when at work (I even ate an eggless eggsalad sandwich…. ew, effin’ gross). However, the people I work with are unique, entertaining and hardworking and in the end, that’s all that matters. In other news, I am currently in Wausau, as I had to return my sister to our parents. She stayed with me in Madison this past week, while our parental units enjoyed their 25th Wedding Anniversary in Whitefish, Montana. And as I write this, my dad keeps holding up photos of their trip, and naturally keeps stating that the reason they don’t have more is because they were confiscated by the park warden…. due to…. well, my dad likes to tell tall tales, and hilarious ones at that.
On that note, I need another beer.
Cheers.

My mind is in such a rush right now, and right now being the past several days and currently.
Last week on Thursday I attended a KT Tunstall (never have been a fan) concert with my friend, as she had an extra (free) ticket. Well, lo and behold, Paddy Casey opened for her. *I have been a fan of Paddy’s music and his hottness for close to seven years. To make a long story short, he asked me out. YES!!! He effin did!!! He said he’d like to see me prior to him leaving America for Ireland; that we would connect up soon. I believe this was my fifteen minutes of fame. Crazy.
This amazing occurrence could not have happened at a better time, as I, yes me, broke off my relationship with my boyfriend of close to a year. Interesting enough, I feel just as emotional if I was to be the dumpee. I have no yearning right now to be social and it takes a shit-ton of effort to be social. Time heals. I do think time heals, but for those that believe life is short, then I question if some individuals take too much time to grieve and recover? Are we wasting “precious” moments? For me, I easily could be, yet lying in my bed watching movies, reading, listening to KISS albums on my record player consistently, and writing this blog is just as preferred as going out, getting wasted and partaking in acts of debauchery. Don’t get me wrong, I love that all too, but for now “this” seems fitting.
On a more lively note, I will be visiting my parents and sister this coming Memorial Day weekend in Wausau. My parents idea of fun is gardening, landscaping and grilling out. I’m all for grilling out hardcore-style, just not so much for the dirt and worms things. But, their hard work has paid off, as their yard was on the garden tour twice in the past three years. Not to mention my sister and I have always been fortunate to have parents that actually care for their yard and home. Albeit, at times our homes have been messy (we’ve had five due to career promotions/changes), but never filthy.
Well, to those who may actually read this, I apologize for the randomness. In all honesty, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Not everything that’s happening is “bad” currently, as countless wonderful things have also occurred, be them towards me or with my family and friends.
Anyways, PI here I come!

Less than 10 minutes ago I submitted my last final research paper via email. Yesterday I submitted a paper in person, and walked away. I walked away from students, organizations, cliques of people, etc. - it was damn satisfying. For as much as I love studying various subjects, in specific history, I love not having to be around campus life, even more. In consequence, for the past four years I believe I’ve become the most anti-college college student (both in appearance and attitude - but who knows, maybe I’m wrong?). Anyways, I’m done for this year.
In other news, I am attempting to find a position, either with a camp or school program working with teenagers for the summer. A few options seem promising, yet I do think I would have to give up my other job, which in the long run may not be so wise.
Speaking of which, I should be getting ready for work.
At some other time, I will explain my relationship with Wausau; it once was a hate-hate relationship and now it’s like-love relationship.
Cheers!
