So right now I'm sitting in my living room, kind of exhausted, looking at a green chair that used to sit in my Grandmother's living room. This weekend was eventful, and I'm tired.
Crysta and I went down to Milwaukee so we could spend father's day with my parents (along with some other family members). We went to the Brewer's game on Sunday, and like any game of baseball, it was a good time. I've never been a huge sports person, but I love watching a good live baseball game.
Honestly it was an amazing day.
Before I left town on Saturday though, I swung by the local No Kings protest here in Eau Claire, and then spent a chunk of time at the local Pride celebration. I tend to be a bit of a shut in these days, so with all the awful stuff in the news it was nice to remind myself that there are good people in the world willing to stand up for what's right and for each other.
My grandmother passed away not that long ago, and one thing I had my parent set aside for me was a chair. I realize that it looks a bit more gold in the photo, but trust me when I say it's green in real life. This morning I loaded it into my pickup and drove it across the state and got it into my living room. I loved this chair as a kid, and importantly... it swivels. And when I was growing up adults would always yell at me not to spin the chair. Well guess what, it's my chair now.
And no one can stop me from spinning.
I dunno -- it was just a lot of stuff in a short amount of time. We also went out to dinner after the baseball game yesterday, but I think I'll give my full opinion on that later this week in a different blog post. Because we went to a restaurant none of us had been to before, and uh... I have thoughts.
That was vague. I'm being vague. You're just going to have to be okay with that.

come on Lynn you know you want a Geo Metro.
I love Ford too. Their stocks are cheap and pay good dividends. I made 28 cents on each share and with 98 shares, that was enough to reinvest two mkre shares. Also I loved their cars. Although I have a Subaru now, I always enjoyed driving Ford cars.
6-cylinder Honda accords aren’t that expensive and they have decent pickup…
But a Mustang.
Also, I don’t think Hondas are Union built. Lynn has very strong opinions on that.
Bah, Mustang would just have the same issues with snow – unless she wants one of those evil modern parodies of the line. And why the hell would you want that? Like buying a modern Dodge Charger… it’s just sad compared to it’s namesake “/
SOME OF US REALLY LIKE THE SIXTH GENERATION MUSTANG.
THE FIFTH GENERATION LOOKED NICE TOO (BUT DIDN’T DRIVE AS WELL)
The fourth generation Mustangs were ugly garbage though
Many Ford vehicle names become amusing when you stick the word anal in front of them, such as Ranger, Explorer, Expedition, Focus, and Fiesta.
I remember that from the Vegas road trip in A Girl And Her Fed!”
What would actually fit her needs is a Jeep. Great in bad weather, enough cargo space to haul con supplies easily, and designed for the owner to be constantly customizing it. I doubt that’s what she’ll go with, but it would work for her.
