It's been a hectic week, but I've enjoyed most of it (save the lack of sleep). Here's a recap: - Monday, I shot footage with the superdelegate after work at the Milwaukee Democratic Party meeting. It reminded me of attending a school board meeting... on the one Monday I didn't have to! - Tuesday I went into work very early so I could leave by noon. Christie and Erin came to visit, and we had a scrumptious lunch at the Cheesecake Factory before shopping and seeing the Bodyworlds exhibit at the museum. I'd wanted to see that for some time, and I'm so glad I did. For those who haven't seen it or don't know what it is, it's fascinating. And it was great to see the girls again. One of the few reasons I miss going back home is because of them (family obviously being the other). They left in the evening and I went swing dancing with Ryan. He followed me home and we relaxed with a glass of wine. - Wednesday I was up early again because Ryan had to get up for a job interview. Technically, he already has the job, but this was to go over some parameters for the position and to fill out some paperwork. I went into work to find that my new computer had arrived! He's a bright, shiny silver iMac and his name is Alex (named after the speech recognition system I chose for him). Sadly, I couldn't play with it right away; I drove to the dance studio where I used to work and finished fixing an error in one of the wedding videos in exchange for paying off Ryan's remaining $300 debt on his laptop (I did this free of charge but in exchange for a lapdance from Ryan). Ryan came over to see my new computer and we enjoyed cheese and wine while watching late night television. Ryan also played a lot of guitar, including a song that goes, "K is for Awesome, E is for Awesome, L is for Awesome, S is for Sexy, I is for Awesome... What does that spell? Awesome awesome awesome sexy awesome Kelsi!" - Thursday, Ryan made breakfast... a nice change of pace. Then I worked some more before meeting with the superdelegate to shoot his college student government meeting. I met a writer from Details Magazine named Ian who was really cool. He was also doing a piece on Jason (the superdelegate) and was in Milwaukee from New York City. After the cold, snowy shoot (the snow won't STOP!), I intended to meet Ryan for a celebratory drink at the Mason Street Grill, but Marcell wasn't playing piano that night so we adjourned to my house for cheese and wine and "Nip/Tuck." - Friday morning, I made waffles for breakfast. Ryan left for his last day of work at Fred Astaire and I went to my respective job. Yesterday, I also joined a gym. I've lost 23 pounds on my own but have since hit a plateau. The club has a swimming pool and a sauna... two huge selling point for me. Now I can swim year-round! The club is about ten blocks from work and about twenty-five blocks from home. I plan on going three days a week after work (Mondays are board meetings and Tuesdays is swing dancing) and one day on the weekend. - Today (Saturday), I'm driving to IKEA to buy some things for our new house, then working out at the gym before finally relaxing the first time all week with a cup of tea and a movie. Tomorrow is church, which should be interesting considering the cat's out of the bag about Ryan and me living together. Then Ryan and I are off to a hockey game before celebrating his freedom from the job he's hated for the better part of six years. Post a comment in response: |
