P.S. I made this… is the IkeaHacker for fashionistas.  I recommend digging around the site because you never know what you might find.  This iPad clutch is currently on my radar.  

I had to peel myself out of bed today after a long weekend in Nebraska.  It was great to be in Husker territory to kickoff the football season and to be in town to support my cousin for the University of Nebraska at Kearny vs. University of Nebraska at Omaha game that ended in victory for UNK (Go Lopers!) at 32-29.  

To finish off the weekend, my sister and brother-in-law created a (pop) sodatasting contest after hearing my Dad complain of the lack of Cheerwine in the Midwest.  They found Rocket Fizz in Lincoln, NE that carries several unusual sodas.  So unusual that they skipped the Cheerwine and went straight for flavors like Filbert’s Banana Soda and Sioux City Sarsaparilla.  The most unpopular flavors being Taylor’s Tonics Chai Cola and Taylor’s Tonics Mate Mojito.  We had judges that ranged from age 4 to 74 and at the end we had a pile of 117 Dixie cups and slightly nauseated stomachs.  

It’s hard to get work done when all I see is napping.  

Whether it’s cheddar or goat, blue or swiss, I love cheese and could eat endless amounts.  The passion hasn’t led to much besides after dinner regret and a tweet published in the Milwaukee Magazine.  I have dreamed of bigger and better things to have my name associated with, but I was thrilled nonetheless when my brother-in-law discovered the printed tweet.  

 @KatieRiibe: First stop off the plane in Milwaukee – cheese curds. It’s going to be a good weekend.

Knowing that, you can imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon thecake on the right.  I couldn’t help but wonder if I made a huge mistake choosing my traditional wedding cake.  It isn’t because it’s extravagant, but because it’s made entirely out of cheese.  I had so much fun working with the Norwoods who made my delicious cake on the left, but I must admit I would choose cheese over chocolate any day of the week.  

I caught Wally snuggling and oogling our picture.  It makes me feel less guilty about having our wedding picture frames still sprawled out in my office.  

I needed a little humor to help me finish out the week.  I found these gems on www.comictheory.com that gave me the chuckle I needed.
