Last Thursday, I took the girls, Lydia and Keiana to their mother's in Wisconsin. We left at 4pm and I drove until 5:30am before taking a one hour nap and then finishing it off. We arrived in Green Bay around 11am. I was completely exhausted to say the least. From Greeley, CO to Des Moine, IA it was raining horribly and even during a 15 mile stretch large ass hail. It was so bad that I was down to 30mph at one point. I felt like I was driving through a hail blizzard, it was white knuckle intense.

Saturday I spent mostly with my sister. She's really cool, very pretty too. She wanted to meet at Best Buy because her mother refused to allow anyone in their "messy" house. This panicked the shit out of me. I'm terrible at meeting new people and in a public setting?? After a few minutes of being a girl, I drove to Best Buy, walked in and found a girl that looked somewhat like her. I asked "what do you think of that laptop?". She jumped saying I scared the crap out of her and said she thought it was cool. I still had no clue if this was her or not so I'm thinking how do I exit this awkward situation... keep in mind she's pretty and you all know how I am with saying with what's on my mind. So I asked "ya like this one better than the ones ya sent me" she said no and FINALLY confirmation, this was indeed my sister. I exhaled large there as if I just found out I wasn't going to have my arm cut off.

We talked a bit, went to see a movie, then went to eat where our Uncle Jeff works and ended up talking for about four hours there. Then drove around until about midnight as I showed her all the places Dad and I lived and the buildings Dad helped built as a mason. She had lots of questions and it was really great telling her about the family.


Sunday, I picked her up and took her to Buffalo Wild Wings for her first time, then took her to Packers Hall of Fame. I seen Don Majkowski and said "dad did the brick work on his home on Indian Trails" she was pretty impressed with all the things dad has worked on in the area. I should point out that I kicked her ass in the Packers Trivia (You Don't Know Pack) while on Veteran and she was on Rookie. Just. Saying!

Monday I visited my dad for about three hours then drove back home. I had to take two breaks this time. I just couldn't keep my head on the road. I got back "home" around 3:30pm to a completely empty house. I won't lie, it's extremely depressing and I can't remember being this miserable before. I absolutely hate not having my little girl with me and I have what feels very little to keep my mind off it. I want to engulf myself with the site, but it's so hard to stay sitting down feeling like this. I know I'll snap out of it, it's just when that worries me.  GEDC1908.JPG You have insufficient rights to see the content.

I was just going to say I wish he had pictures of little sis.

Glad you had a good time and got home safe.

I know the feeling of coming home to an empty house all too well when my wife spends a few days with her mother. I hate it although I am usually the one who makes her go spend the time with her mom. There are not that many days left in which to do it.

Most excellent adventure Z2C.

You've come a hell of a long way in the last few years Kevin.... damn proud of ya, but more importantly, you can be proud of yourself.
Your doing well my young friend.

Glad you got to meet your sister and spend some more time with your Dad.
And ya, an empty house sucks.



Now, as to those pictures, what the heck are those things that look like some kind of trophy? πŸ‘…

I don't think this is the appropriate time or place to bug you for your sis's contact info. Reminder to self: do that later, preferably through PM. Be persistent, if needed.

Kidding aside, glad you made it home safe and that you got to meet your sister. It's actually pretty cool that you got to go to the Packers HOF - if I stop procrastinating, I'd love to put one of the pics of the Lombardi trophy in my sig.

And, I'm wondering if you took a pic of AJ Hawk's wrist brace to get on 93z a little bit. :P

Neat photos though, for sure. I find that feeling of loneliness if often bettered by picking out a couple of new shows / past shows you've fallen behind on and doing a marathon in which you also eat some pretty unhealthy foods too. At least it passes time, and serves to distract you a little.

You were correct in your assessment.. but I personally am more glad for you that you got to know her a little bit and hopefully build upon that start.

All in all.. glad you got a taste of home again. Now back to work. πŸ˜‰

    beast (45m) : Merry Christmas πŸŽ„πŸŽ
    beast (8h) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game
    packerfanoutwest (13h) : both games Watson missed, Packers won
    Martha Careful (15h) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!
    Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol
    buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier
    buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
    Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
    Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
    packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
    beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
    beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
    bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
    beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
    packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground
    Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
    beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
    packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
    beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
    beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
    beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
    beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
    beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
    Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I literally just said it.
