Summery Weather

it is a wonderful day here in Milwaukee WI. and finally.. it seems everytime Dan and I have off together it is rainy and cold. but not today. it is currently 81 with no clouds in sight! all dan wants to do is watch the Wire and Real Time.. i think i'll go lay in the sun for a bit in the back yard.
we went to Wells Fargo and talked to a personal banker. she tried to set the both of us up on our own credit cards through them, but we were immediately denied. so now, she's setting us up on some credit card that goes through our savings account. it's pending, which means we weren't denied by the system, and someone is actually gonna look at it. hopefully we don't get denied for that one, or we've really gotta do some weird stuff. I just really don't understand what i'm expected to do to establish credit when i have none at all, if not for a credit card. is there something i'm missing? i mean, i've already payed off all my student loans, we have a number of things out on our names that we make monthly payments to.. shouldnt that kinda stuff help with the credit scores?
the NRA convention went pretty well. we woke up early.. walked around for hours and hours down hundreds of aisles eating free foods and drinking free coffees and espressos (hey.. we were tired!) Dan went to a seminar about Leadership in the Workplace. he said he learned a thing or two. i went to some service seminar given by the man who runs that kind of stuff for Disney. he basically just talked about their parks and what not. i didnt learn anthing, but for some reason, i really want to visit Disney World after that! hmm.. wonder why? it's all he talked about. The Publican was an awesome meal afterwards. started off with some raw oysters, then moved onto our first course, an asparagus salad, which was so yummy. next we had whole red snapper with mussels, then lamb three different ways with this really awesome peanut/cilantro salsa to accompany it. i didnt think i would have room for dessert. but i did. it was a little chocolate mousse bar with a rhubarb sauce. omgosh.. fantastic! one of the best meals i've ever had. Dan was extremely excited about their very impressive beer list. then barely had room to eat since they were such heavy beers. we hope to revisit the place sometime. definitely reccommend it.
we'll be going up to Door County for memorial day. weather isnt supposed to reach 70 but the two days we're up there it isnt supposed to rain. so that's good. we'll see how things turn out. of course, we'll be stopping in at the Summertime for some prime steaks with steak butter (the stuff i make just doesnt come out the same) and of course, visiting the Bayside.. Dan's absolute favorite bar in the world. =) maybe we can find a rummage sale or two to stop at on the way there.. sometimes you can find some really great stuff! one man's garbage is another man's treasure!
