Go Brewers! Brew that...beer...?

Yesterday was something out of the ordinary--I actually got to spend most of the day with

my husband, and we could go out and do something without breaking the Sabbath! The Milwaukee and Madison offices are apparently the top sellers in the company, and they won an incentive to be taken in limos to a Brewers baseball game at Miller Park. (Milwaukee is so all about beer. It's really kind of disgusting. Notice the guy selling it on the top right.) So two Expedition limos rolled up and picked us up (the wives who could make it were invited along), and I rode in a limo for the first time. It was very cool, but not worth paying for. They took us to a ritzy mall where we pretty much only had time to eat lunch, then they dropped us off at the game. It was fun seeing everyone outside staring, probably wondering what famous/rich people were high-rollin, and then to see their faces when a bunch of rowdy 20-somethings piled out. We definitely had fun playing with the radio and complaining that there was ice and goblets but no beverages, talking about non-existent stocks, etc. Why does rap music in a limo make you feel like a high-roller? "The Humpty-Hump" is such a bad song, but it has the best beat, and I just felt cool listening to it.

The game was cool...but not literally. It was SO FREAKIN muggy for awhile, we all splurged on frozen soft lemonades and Jason fanned us both with a Pinnacle sign he had in his binder. He's so sweet like that. It did cool down after a little while, but this guy with the grey hair right in front of us was eating peanuts, and what happens from eating protein kept happening every so often and wafting right up our noses. GROSS. What can you do but point the fan at him and laugh though. Hopefully he doesn't see this. :)

One sad thing was how raggedy and unkempt a lot of the people looked, and the sheer amount of alcohol that was being consumed at that game. Do you really have to have a beer or a hard lemonade to have a good time? Not to mention all the disgusting nachos and...actually, I need to stop, there's no point in worrying about things you can't control. I do that too much.

Not much else to report. The garden's doing pretty well. The cherry tomato plant is monstrous. It's awesome. Can't wait for all of the tomatoes to actually turn red. My latest scheme is to try to learn enough about floral design to work in flower shops for awhile, then with the experience I get, do flowers for weddings. So far, not a lot of luck, but I'm not giving up yet. I talked to Brother Lang who owns the flower shops (was SO scared to do it, didn't want to bug him again), told him what I have in mind, and he said that although things are really slow for florists in general in this area right now, he'll try to find opportunities to help me. I want to try to get a job at Michaels, namely in the floral design dept. Dang temp agency is doing squat for me, except making me look stupid and lazy because while I wait for them to call me, I still have no job.

Oh well. Whatever will be will be.
