Friday was a "break" from work as I headed down to Madison with some gal pals and another lady for a self-advocacy workshop. It was great to take a road trip and be out of the building.



I picked Kelly up bright and early and we headed into the gas station for a few staple items. Namely coffee, cough syrup, kleenex, cough drops, toilet paper, nail polish, the kitchen sink....J/K. Kelly had to stock up due to her sinus infection. What a trooper!




AKON was also at the gas station when we arrived stocking up on the necessities. Here she is trying to hide her annoyance with the weird, southern old lady cashier who was slow as hell checking out about 50 people. UGH!


Ziegler caught up with us at Rolling Meadows. Right here we have an oxymoron. On the left, we have a cell whisperer. On the right we have a cell yeller. Quite an experience to observe these two in action!





Paula (right) and Jo led the way down to Madtown. Paula (DT) is great company and we all hope to hang out with her more often after this. She is the only person I know who has dissed and dismissed a movie star that was hitting on her (Stephen Dorff).




Of course, Kel and I saw this day as a perfect opportunity to update our blogs. Here she is in action!







Check out the size of that noggin! Holy cow! It's like a grapefruit on a toothpick! I'm sure she had a lot of explaining to do with all the bruises she incurred on this trip. Worse yet, the rest of us had to explain OUR bruises from her melon! Watch it, AKON! :)



After a few hours of soaking up some great info, we decided to sow down at the Great Dane - one of my favorite places to eat in Madison!






To my left was my buddy, Kelly. Aw, this is a cute pic! One of my long fingers got in the lens. I can't help the length of my fingers. My hubby's happy, that's all I have to say about that.





To my right we have Julie, AKON, Jo and Paula. AKON is ecstatic that we are inside away from any huge flags. Whew!







One of my paparazzi shots of Ziegler in her sunglasses.






This is how we saw Julie most of the time that day. She has an amazing talent at talking on cell phones without showing it. We call her the cell whisperer.






AKON hiding either from a huge flag overhead or from the embarassment of her huge head. Just kidding. Her head isn't THAT big.






The source of the stench that filled the car the entire road trip. I'll leave it at that. Bye bye now.
