So thankfully today is Friday. And after today ends, I’ll have four straight days of “time off” to throw away things I don’t need or use, pack up what I do need or use and move to my new place.
This week has just been overly busy. And I’m very tired. I had four 1/2 [...]

Rugby Bits & Bites … While Eating Rolos
Because Rolos are pretty tasty …
Update: I started this post early this morning and am just now finishing it late-afternoon. I stopped eating the rolos hours ago!

Memorial 10s – Aug. 12 – Madison, Wis.
Sorry all of my rugby friends, I’ve been swamped the past few days and will continue to be this week. Between general life, rugby, moving this weekend and work … well, it’s a lot to balance.
That said … please do me a favor and spread the word about the rugby tournament that my team – [...]

Pigfest 10s Photos
I edited some photos that Tim and I took at Pigfest 10s last Saturday in Oshkosh, Wis.
We played two games against a Milwaukee Scylla/Green Bay Women combined side and won both games. Our men finished 2-1 overall and these are pictures from when they played a new team, the Sheboygan Sharcs, that my pal Malachi [...]

Midsummer 7s
After last Saturday’s disappointing trip up to Oshkosh, Golden Pig Trophy aside, we’re running down the road to Milwaukee Saturday for the Marquette University Midsummer 7s.
We have a pretty strong, fast team and I’m not sure what the competition is like, but hopefully we’ll have some challenges. Don’t get me wrong, blowouts are kind of [...]

Bachelorette Pad and Breaking Barriers
Berta, the little accented woman at the apartment I looked at yesterday, called me this morning and would like me to sign a lease tomorrow night.
One less thing to worry about! And I’m looking forward to my five-minute bike rides to work.
Also, someone at work told me that the picture of me from [...]

Way to go Wisconsin!
We’re No. 1!!
In Bull Semen Production for Insemination of Cows.
Yeah, take that, all you supposedly happy cows out in California! Not too happy without our stuff, are you?
And did you know that to collect the semen from the bulls, a “teaser animal” is used to “charm” them? And guess what? It’s usually a steer. A [...]

Good Stuff
Our local newspaper article on the growth of women’s contact sports I mentioned earlier ran today.
You can see it here – More women playing full-contact sports like football, rugby – and these photos below were featured in a photo gallery with the article.
The photographer came and snapped her photos at one of our weekly [...]

Another possibility?
I overslept a little today and it pushed back my schedule (but yes, I’m still planning on doing the whole get-up-early habit). While driving downtown, I saw that an older brick apartment building between my current home and downtown where I spend most of my weekdays had a new rental sign up for an apartment [...]

Becoming a Renaissance Woman
I am sitting in another web development course I am taking this summer. We’re on a quick break from learning more about templates and style sheets in Dreamweaver (a type of web development software).
I find everything related to this quite fascinating, probably just because I dabble in it and it’s not really my full-time career. [...]
