Door County posts and one extra

Hey Chelsea!
So, it is the return of notes written on my iPod.  I stopped doing it for a while, mainly because I didn't want the whole nb to be typed up.  But now I guess it's okay because for one it's nice not to have to carry around the regular notebook everywhere and for two, it's the only thing I have right now.  So, Monique and I are waiting for a ferry to get here so we can go to Washington Island.  It is so windy here today.  I can't remember what it was like the last time I was here but I've never seen it like this.

I do have a lot to catch up on but I think I'm gonna start from the end and work my way backwards.  This trip so far has been amazing.  We started out on Friday morning at like 4am.  I was so sleepy from the cough medicine I took and only having a couple hours that I slept but I didn't fall back asleep.  The ride up was amazing.  There was no traffic whatsoever and it did not take too long to get there.  We were able to get an early check in so after we had breakfast we got to the hotel and rested before she went for her massage appointment.  She had set one up for me too but I was still coughing pretty badly so I cancelled my appointment.  I tried to sleep but it didn't work, lol.  So, after her appointment she came back to the hotel to get me so we could go to dinner.  I thought it was going to be at this one place but it ended up being at another right down the street.  It was a fish boil.  I'm not sure if you've ever been to one but it's as much fun to watch as it is to eat.  You have white fish, potatoes, and sometimes sweet onions and you put it in this huge pot and you put a whole bunch of salt and lemon and then the guy lights the fire with kerosene.  There's this huge fire and it boils everything all at once.  And then dinner is served!  Our waitress was a little strange, though.  While most people got seconds, she never even asked if we wanted any or came around to ask how the food was or anything.  Needless to say, she did not get a very big tip.  After that we went straight home to the hotel and rested till the next morning.  Monique had a reflexology appointment at 11:30am so we left the hotel at 10am so we could have breakfast in Fish Creek.  Just fyi, we are staying a the Bridgeport hotel in Sturgeon Bay and Fish Creek is at least 30-40 minutes away depending on traffic.  So it's a bit of a hike but the scenery is so beautiful it more than makes up for it.
We had breakfast at this place called The Cookery, which was so delicious.  I had 2 eggs and breakfast potatoes and I forgot what Monique had but it looked delicious.  She had to leave for her appointment so I stayed and finished my breakfast and then went shopping.  I found some cute stuff at this place called Vagabond Imports but I didn't get everything I wanted because I thought I'd be back.  I just hope it's not closed the next time I go there.  Cuz tomorrow is a holiday.

Wheeeeee!!!!!!!!  We are on the ferry now and it is really choppy but seems to be getting better now that we're away from the shoreline.  I am going to try and relax for a bit.  Love you!

Hey Chels,
Well, that shit was crazy.  We got to the island and there was a line to get on the ferry that was at least 2-3 miles long.  We basically spent $49.00 to ride a ferry and sit in a car for almost 2 hours.  Crazy!  But now we are on the ferry headed back to shore and we are having celebratory margaritas when we finally get back. I have never seen this much traffic in the whole time I have been coming here.

Hey Chels,
Hey honey bunny!  We are still in Door County, about to have brunch or lunch I guess.  When we were driving there was a huge traffic block.  I am pretty sure were more people up here this weekend than I have ever seen.  But it's not busy right now and hopefully we will get seated soon.
I am so sorry about Ryan.  Just seems stupid to me that he would start something up with you and then make such a big deal about not having a place to fit you into.  If you want to be with someone, you make time for them and you figure stuff out.  You don't make this huge to do about not having room.  That is bullshit.  I know you like him but to me that is just so vile.  He already has 3 strikes in my book.  I know you like him but come on.  No one should make you feel like this, especially someone you like and want to spend time with.  Who does that?
I hope that things clear up soon, or at least you will find someone who will make time for you.
So, it is 6:13pm now and we are on the road.  I hate to leave but hopefully I will be back. I will write more later.

Love,
Rita

Hey Chels,
So, I finally got you all caught up on my life!!  I feel so much better about the nb and everything now.  Right now I am at my man's place, actually he is sleep and I am all snuggled in but apparently that doesn't bother his sleep so yeah.  So, yeah.  I basically got rid of my data plan because it was costing me too damn much.  But since I got this new phone it hasn't cost me any less, in fact it has cost me more.  I think because I haven't finished paying it off yet.  I am going to see how much next month's bill is after I'm done with this one but yeah, if it's gonna be the same I may as well pay the $30 extra and get the data plan.  It's not even necessarily that I miss that phone.  I haven't had nearly as many hassles with this new one that I have.  But if I'm going to be taking on an extra job then I can swing that kind of money and get the data plan.  I do miss being able to upload pictures from my phone and some of the other stuff I was able to do that I can only do on my iPod when I'm within range.

I am really digging writing poems now, I think I'm gonna take the next week or so and just write whatever comes to my mind.  I also need to go through my pictures that are both on my computer and my phone and get them developed, hopefully there is a coupon of some sort.  I can't tell you how much money I have saved with those coupons.

So, I need to figure out a budget for each thing I want.
Data plan
Sending your next letter out
Developing pictures

I want like a $20 limit to spending money on pictures and I think that for this purpose I am going to only develop the ones on my phone and keep the computer pictures separate.  Ugh I wish I could work on it now!!  But I would much rather stay here in my man's arms.  I haven't really heard much from him the past couple of days and now I understand why, it's because he's been sleep for most of the day both days.  I think it's great that he is finally sticking up for himself and just going to sleep because if he did stay up working until everything was completely finished he would kill himself or at least land himself in the hospital.  In the past few weeks I think this is the most sleep he's gotten and as sad as that is, at least now he's getting it.
I am going to go for now.  Love you!!
