In honor of this weekend, i present to you, Sketchy Bunnies....

In non-bunny related news, i think i am ready to go get new pet rat(s).

After Linus died, i needed a bit of time, it was so sudden. And, with us going away for a while i didn't want a new rat to be left alone after just getting here. Honey Hill mentioned on their fb page that they have babies. Babies! Squeee!

Every time i have had a pet rat (Zoe, Tofu & Tux, then Linus), they have all been adults. Although i loved Linus and i wouldn't have traded him in for anything, he had some challenges that probably had everything to do with how he was handled before we got him. He eventually trusted us, and we gave him a good life, and i will always adore him.

But now, it is time to have wee ones. And i am so excited!!! I think i want to get 2 females... they are social creatures, and i am not sure how to raise 2 males without any dominance issues....

The West Side Market in Cleveland, OH rocks.

The Days Inn needs to research the places it wishes to lend it's name to.

It seemed as though every time i took the wheel, i had to deal with cross winds. What's with that?

While looking at the pictures i took while on vacation, it appears as though most of what i did was eat... and i often could not wait until i took a picture to start eating.

I will post some or all soon.

BS at my work continues. My schedule was changed while i was gone and neither of my supervisors decided it would be a good idea to tell me. Thank goodness for one co-worker for letting me know i have to work tomorrow, otherwise i wouldn't have shown up.

An old friend of mine found me on facebook and i took a look through her pics and saw snaps of her sister (and also an old high school friend) in a wheelchair looking even more ill than she was the last time i saw her. Hurt my heart.

She has free wi-fi!

Greetings from exit 77 on the Indiana Tollway, nearish Notre Dame Uni.

It's 86 degrees here. We did not pack "summer" clothes.

We hope to be in Cleveland OH so i can eat dinner at Qdoba (LOVE their Mexican Gumbo).

Good thing (e:uncutsaniflush) is around to make sure i go east across Wisconsin on the correct highway.

We ate dinner at the vegetarian place in Wisconsin Dells, The Cheese Factory, again. Their duxelle was sOOoo good, as was their Hungarian Goolash and (gluten & dairy free!) corn and millet pudding with fried bananas walnuts and cranberries.

It was a bit breezy on the hilly windy bits of I-94 just outside Minnesota.

We went to the American Swedish Institute and saw a beautiful old home with the most amazing ceramic fireplaces (no pics allowed inside!).

We ate at the Purple Sanpiper for breakfast... the chef (owner?) asked me if i came back for more bacon.........

it's a gateway meat. Thanks for the peer pressure chef (owner?) of Purple Sandpiper! P.S. Your cardamom ice cream is the bestest ever
