Happy Spring!

Happy Spring + Easter! March has been tough on the blog, but we know everybody's busy + looking forward to a well-earned break. Dom + 6 friends from Stevens Point stopped for a long lunch on their return from a service mission in downtown Chicago, with a side trip to Bodyworks in Milwaukee. They were a very nice + hungry bunch. Mom gave Nic 50 gold dollars that she's very much enjoyed regifting to people who really enjoy the gold, + everybody had to find their golden easter egg in our now accessible back yard. Nic had a big article in the paper that I have to keep hearing about.
Jeff + Nicki, I liked all the Oscar movies well, but Atonement perhaps a little less. But I couldn't put the book down even tho I knew the whole story, because he writes so well. I wish I'd done it in reverse order. I'm also glad I read Kiterunner first: I don't know if I'd have liked it without the read first. Again such excellent writing. And I very much enjoyed No Country for Old Men both ways, but maybe preferred seeing the movie first.
I missed my chance to use central WI dancers for Rhinelander acts, but beware of folks in western garb!

Hello, all! I didn't realize the Blog was continuing past Christmas. Thank you to all who came down for OscarFest 2008. Busy, busy at work--no significant changes since becoming supervisor, mostly just more calls and more e-mails to deal with.

APPLEBEE'S

I trained a double today (10:30am-3:30pm and then 5:00pm-9:30pm). I work tomorrow and then another double on Friday. Back to being really busy, but this place is way better for me and I don't have to wear that apron.

OSCAR PARTY!

This will be my first year attending and I can't wait! I'll be driving down with Maria. I'm not very creative so I won't be dressing up.

Oscar Meyer

I don't know what to wear for the Oscar party, I guess I was hoping the writers would be greedier. I do have a package of Depends, but usually the baby's not at the shower. Awfully nice to see Nicki blogging. Why do so many clothesmakers insist on itchy tags; I feel like I just got a haircut + can't get rid of the stragglers! I was glad to hear the Juno theme song again. On my way to a wedding I saw Matt's keeping Pete company while Mom's in VA. Jim's been back in contact with us + seems reasonably well. I get along with him very well when we talk. I'll be traveling with the invaribly best costumed Tony tomorrow + don't HAVE to get up Mon. AM.

A Rare Appearance by Nicki

Hi to Everyone! I don't have time to check in very often, but the last time I checked in I enjoyed the Paul McCartney video Matt sent and this time I just LOVED the secret postcards. I hope you'll include that every week, Matt, so we can see it again. Nicki
