The photo is of cheese curds I’ve been enjoying today. My mom picked them up on her way down from WI on Monday. They squeak in your teeth so you know they are fresh.

Today was my first day unemployed. I’m trying to enjoy it because I know that no one really is looking for people for the next few weeks and that most people are on vacation. I slept off a hangover, finished some Christmas shopping, bought groceries, made chocolate covered peanuts and pecans, and made potatoes au gratin.

My niece turned 2 at the end of May and this past weekend was her birthday party. Every time I see her she’s changed so much from the last. She’s in one of those periods, I guess, where she’s growing and learning so many new things. This time she’s running around more than ever and talking.. not just saying one word that she knows, but actually talking. And you can start to see some of her personality traits and likes and dislikes coming out. That girl is obsessed with 2 things: chips and shoes. Watch out.

When we sang Happy Birthday, Stephanie played it on her recorder. It was so cute but I can’t help but think she’d be embarassed by it in a few years. Then again, in a few years she’ll be embarrassed by EVERYTHING.

Dallas had his first cheese curds. There wasn’t time but I also wanted to take him for frozen custard because he doesn’t really grasp the concept of it and thinks he’d rather have DQ soft serve. Next time.

BBQ at Chuck & Tiffany's

The cheese curds and cheddarwurst were a huge hit at the bbq last night. Afterwards we checked to see if Chuck’s effigy was still at Daddy-O‘s but it wasn’t. While there, I was one of two women in the bar. The other one passed out with her pants down on the toilet in the bathroom. Guess who had to go in there and get her out?
