mom...they took all my money

well almost

those poker fiends - yes you know who you are - I think somehow I was just charmed into handing all of my money over, or maybe it was the tequila

regardless - good times ALTHOUGH it is ridiculous how much I would've kicked ass had we been playing cribbage and in the spirit of that I think a cribbage night is definately in order soon

otherwise I am just trying to get it going this morning. Woke up a little tequila sore and very late for the jobby job - so (in light of my newfound nutritional needs) I made a smoothie and zipped off to work

so now I have coffee and am feeling pretty good - just have some complicated run home and take the dog out and come back for open mic and wow the day could get crazy stuff going on

I had such a good time last night though - thinking of it is making me smile
I hope that lasts all day

and one more

so in lieu of visiting my family this year, and in trying to prevent permanent nostalgia damage, i am going to buy a michigan nature calendar

dorky but true

problem is i want to get one that is mostly upper peninsula / keewenaw bay / iron mountain / lake superior esque

now in those areas of course you can find calendars of local nature hot spots - but the question is - how do i find one from here? so far the internet has given me a couple of generic michigan ones, that will work just fine i am sure, but aren't exactly what i want

and the idea of having the family grab one won't work, they live too far away from the u.p. first off, and second, well, I asked my mom to take a photo of a lake that is 2 miles from her house and send it to me, she promised to do it and send it right away, that was in july.

anyone bored at work who wants to help me find links? i greatly appreciate it

xoxo
