Everything intersects

I forgot to write my about-to-step-on-the-roller-coaster entry, so here is my already-on-the-roller-coaster entry.

July and August will be equal parts buckets of stress and buckets of fun. So far on the docket:

*One of my WI friends' sons is with me this week for fun and frolic in MI (fun! stress!)
*Two craft shows; one in my parents' teeny town in northern MI (fun! stress!), one nearby (stress!)
*Two teeny shows with my merchandise (stress!)
*One show with my friends from WI, which will be about eight days of work (fun! stress!)
*Rock concert I probably should not be going to because I have too much on my plate
*Terminus, with awesome sauce, but also with stress fries, because I am presenting a paper with gmonkey42 on Sunday (fun! stress!)

Thank goodness I'm going to Cape Cod at the end of August for the honeymoon. I have a feeling I will need it terribly by that point.

*hugs* Thank you! I was just freaking out because we've got very little time to get ready for some major trips, which require a lot of Stuff, [both packing/finding, and buying], and was also worried that some procrastination on my part may have cost us dearly in terms of some b'man stuff. I think some residual hormones may have been in effect, too, and less-than-usual sleep.
But my babe comforted me, and after all, I don't do my best work on deadline, I do my only work on deadline. :P

He'll be with me at Terminus. :D
*HUGS*!

PS -- anything especially worth seeing in, say, Milwaukee or Madison? I'm thinking about breaking up our trip from Mpls-Chicago. :P

Milwaukee has a very good art institute (http://www.tfaoi.com/aa/2aa/2aa178.htm), and also has the Third Ward (http://www.historicthirdward.org/), which is a downtown section chock full of nice places to eat and shop.

I've only been to Madison once, and know very little, except that you must visit the House on the Rock, (http://www.thehouseontherock.com/) which is supposed to be absolutely insane and amazing. And Monty's Blue Plate Diner (http://www.foodfightinc.com/montys.htm) is fantastic.

Cool, thank you!!!

I checked the greyhound schedules and decided that Milwaukee is too far from mpls. Besides, we're pretty hippie'ish / liberal, so Madison is totally a good fit for us! :D

The house on the rock does look really cool and wacky! :P

Ta!
