Another Set?

I have decided I'm going to be healthier! It started with a run yesterday, and let me just say this was a legit run. I HURT afterward, but it was a good hurt. A hurt I haven't had in a long time. And then today Laur and I ran to the capitol and back, which wasn't so bad. But when we got back we did stairs and calf raises and wall sits and... it was awful. Plus it was hot as heck, and our air conditioning in the apartment is broken. I'm sweating just sitting here. TMI?

Plus, I'm swearing off desserts. We'll see how that goes. Today I turned down a caramel macchiato AND a sprinkle donut! Impressed? You should be.

YOU!

Of all the things that stick out to me this weekend, it's probably all the time I spent in the car. But I do like driving, thank goodness. Anywho, short recap:

Wednesday: Black Light Partay

Thursday: Hours spent writing my MHR final, class finally DONE!

Friday: Lollapalooza!

Saturday: Brewers Game

Sunday: Chips for a couple hours to prepare for moving next week

But, that means I spent 2 hours driving to Chicago, 2 driving back. 1 hour driving Milwaukee, 5 driving back to Chip. 4 Hours driving back to Madtown, making it a total of 14 hours in the car in 3 days.

Favorite part was def blasting "You" by Atmosphere and dancing/singing along w/ Bridge and Laur.

So here's the pics... enjoy! There's a lot of them today~ enough for all the time I've been missing.

Wall of Fire

So while at Devil's Lake, Laur asked if I wanted to go back to Oshkosh with her for the last day of the airshow. And I did!

The drive getting there was almost as interesting, not cutting on the airshow. I took over driving, and had the short-sightedness to not check the gas. Anywho... we were driving down some country road behind this tractor, going about 10 mph when laur was like, "Do we have any gas?!" The needle was past the red, very very "E". So we had to follow the tractor for about a mile down the road before we could find somewhere to turn around and head back into town.

There were two tiny gas stations on the edge of fields and fields of corn. The one on the left was creepy, rundown, and dark. The one on the right was an ethanol station, and not just ethanol, but the kind of gas made almost completely out of corn. Laur's volvo def couldn't handle it. So, we went to creep gas station on the left. It was closed. And, the pumps looked like they were from the 60s. They had no electric anything that we could see, let alone a credit card slot. So we went over to the ethanol station, which didn't have anyone at it either. Luckily, they had pay at the pump, and regular unleaded gas.

I took this from the car window as we were driving, and this is what it looked like from the camera! Pretty darn perfect pic of Wisconsin Summers.

So I stayed with Laur and her fam in their RV, so we played Cribbage! The Bloods vs. the Crypts. John and I lost. :(

In the morning I woke up at 5:45 to see them launch hot air balloons. They kept them tethered, but I still thought it was good.

There were a ton of planes!! I was told quite a few times, and I'm going to pass it on because it's such a cool stat: Oshkosh is the busiest airport in the world the week of the airshow. There's about 10,000 airplanes that come. :) Good to know, aye?

Sorry, We Got Kidnapped.

Went to Devil's Lake with P House! We grilled, climbed, and swam... aka had a good time. :) There were a lot of rock-steps.
