HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did ya miss me?
I'm back, and whoa boy, have I got a story for you. In case I didn't mention it, I used to live in WI, so I know all about WI's fine dining choices. Of course, I don't get back very often anymore, so when I do, I like to hit all my favorites. The top of the list is, and has always been, Kopp's. Frozen custard heaven. Butter burger bonanza. Burgers are kinda out right now, but let's face it, frozen custard is like a bandster's dream come true.
Can you believe I planned this trip for almost two months, flew 2.5 hours to WI, and was in WI for 8 hours before BFF said, "Hey, do you want Kopp's?". And until she said that, it never once crossed my mind. Not even once.
Did you all feel that? It was the earth tipping off its axis. As that has never, ever, ever happened before. I did proceed to eat it twice, though. I'm not that much of an angel!
The trip was tons of fun - I will certainly share photos once I edit them. We went running twice - 3 miles and 5 miles. The half-marathon is in just under 8 weeks, and while I'm not yet prepared, I'm feeling good about where I am with it. We made our tutus and bought princess tiaras. I ate rather well and am looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in.
The break from the kids was great. The break from being MOM was great. The chance to relax and unwind was great. All in all, it was a fun five days. But I am glad to be home and look forward to getting back into a routine, since we've been wacky with guests and holidays and trips for more than two months now.
Alright, off to see what you guys have been up to! Smooches!
Send me a picture of your tutu!!!! I need to know how what level of "princess" you are going for. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you had such a great time and I can completely understand your NSV. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous you are doing the 1/2 marathon. I want to do that someday and I know I will, just need to get better prepared!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great trip and a huge NSV! isn't that so awesome?! So happy you are back in blogland bc you are hilarious and fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI wanna do a marathon. At this point, I probably couldn't run a 1/2 mile I am so out of shape.
ReplyDeleteGood for you!
What a great NSV!!!!! Now you eat food to live and not live for food. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a good time. You deserve it!
ReplyDeleteKopps is delicious! I haven't had it in so long, and it's 10 minutes from my house! Glad you had a nice trip here!
ReplyDeletei DID miss you!
ReplyDeleteWell, I for one, think you ARE an angel :) BTW..... because of you, I'm considering running in a 5K! However...... will there be enough compression garmets on the planet to keep all my jiggly bits tame??
ReplyDeleteGreat NSV Amy! Everyone always needs a little break every now and then, good for you! I've missed you!

That's a great NSV! And the pics came out gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHey, I live in WI! Where are you from??
ReplyDeleteexcellent NSV!
ReplyDeleteI'm moving back to WI in a week and love Kopps! I didn't make it there when I was home for the holidays so I'll have to wait for my favorite flavor and go get some.
ReplyDeleteKopps! OMG. Frozen Custard is my Kryptonite... ahaha. I am planning a trip back to WI in a few months and I am going to AVOID it at all costs this time.
