It's the start of a new week, which means it's time to look back at the weekend that was.


We were both pretty worn out after last week. It had been a rough final week for takaza at his old job, though he received some really nice going-away gifts from his boss and cow-orkers, including $120 in Best Buy gift cards. Dan slept in on Saturday and I slept rather late for me (8:30!). We finally got motivated at around 1 PM and decided to head up to Milwaukee. After a bite to eat at a nice little burger joint in Spring Grove, we headed off to Mukwanago, Wisconsin, home of the Elegant Farmer.

( Saturday: Fun in Southeastern Wisconsin )

On the way home, we stopped at Best Buy in Gurnee to pick up ( a shiny new toy for Takaza! )

( Sunday: Recipe testing, homemade soup, and great company! )

This week is looking to be pretty crazy again. I've got all-day training on Wednesday and Thursday of this week and next week (a fascinating refresher of statistics, which I detested when I took it 13 years ago), and somewhere in there I need to wrap up my current project by Friday. It's all part of the job, though.

And now, I'm off to bed!
