Restocked (It won’t look this pretty for long)

When was the last time you took EVERYTHING out of your fridge and gave it a deep clean?  I am afraid to admit how long it was for me, but I can tell you how nice it is having a “new” fridge.    I am also afraid to tell you how many expired things of mayo were in there.

After suffering from my first migraine earlier this week, I decided to go in and get an MRI scan.   I wasn’t  worried  I had any major problems, but my friends and family thought it would be a good idea just to make sure everything was “normal” up there.   I told them “You will never find anything normal by looking at my brain.”

It was a great experience and the initial scan didn’t show any major concerns.  For the record, I do have a full brain even though sometimes on the radio it may sound like I am only working with half of one.

Thanks for all your emails and advice on migraines, it’s nice to know you’re not alone when you lose your vision and get a splitting headache.

Don’t you feel like the best part of all those home remodeling shows are the before and after shots? They suck you in for a full hour just so you can see how new paint, carpet and lights can make a huge difference. These are some pictures of changes I have been making around my condo. Last year, I sold all my furniture on criagslist without having any new stuff bought. After living without anything but a bed for almost a month, I replaced my couch and chair with a newer more modern look. The carpet was sooooo gross. It was here when I moved in 5 years ago and should have been replaced then. It has brought a fresh and crisp new feel to the condo. I just wish one of those HGTV shows would have done all this, then I wouldn’t have had to pay for it.

Yes, I am trying to sell my condo during what forbes.com is calling the WORST time to sell a home in Milwaukee. But, I feel like if someone is trying to buy their first place and grab an extra $8,000 before April 30th, this is the perfect place. It was my first place that the prior owners were getting rid of because it was their first place. It is a GREAT first place.

I am having a blast playing Real Estate Agent and I am trying to use social media as much as possible to get the word out. I hope you enjoy my attempt at making a showcase video of the condo…it’s no HGTV.

Kidd O’Shea gave the Milwaukee Bucks’ Squad 6 cheering section a good try, but can’t you tell from the picture that he was a little “out of place” when it came to his outfit?  Here’s Kidd posing for a picture with Elizabeth Kay and Zak from Squad 6.

Here is an update on my progress with the “Ariat Jumping with the Stars” competition which takes place April 18th in Madison.  It is ALL for a good cause as we are raising money for American Family Children’s Hospital in Madison.   PLEASE support me and a great organization by clicking here and making a donation.  THANK YOU!

Have you ever gone to the store for one thing, but left with something else?  All I needed was some air in my bike tires and I ended up with at new bike rack on the back of my car.   I guess this means I am committed to A LOT of biking this year so I get my moneys worth.   If you’re looking for a bike rack and want to support a local business, click here.

Also, Wisconsin has some great bike paths that you can check out by clicking here.
