Relaxing Saturday

I can't seem to sleep in… and today was no exception. Come on body, let me sleep past 6:15am on a weekend, please!

Another day feeling great! I was up early, and enjoyed some chill time and finally caught up with a few people while Heather was enjoying some much needed rest and sleeping in. Then we went to get some brunch. That brings me to the most disappointing thing about Milwaukee … they don't do proper brunch on Saturdays! The places that do often stop serving their limited menu at 11 am. Come on people, that is not a weekend brunch. 

Heather and I had the same idea for brunch… off to Blue's Egg. Not only do they have breakfast until 3pm, but we also have a connection that ties to my treatment. Early on in my testing, I was sent to West Allis hospital to get many tests, one which was to get some blood drawn. My phlebotomist was very sweet and Heather and I were talking to her about being new to Milwaukee and how we love to eat. Come to find out she and her husband own Blue's Egg and another restaurant, Maxie's. I'd been to Blue's Egg before, and knew it well… and it's across the street from our Scylla sponsor, Brewski's. Then… the one item I win in the silent auction at the Ball last Saturday, was a gift certificate to Blue's Egg. I thought it was awesome that, as an Aurora employee, she donated to the Vince Lombardi Cancer Foundation Ball. Sadly, we get to Blue's Egg and I have never seen a wait like that. Seriously, it was a little after 11 and we may not have been seated before they closed at 3.

So, we head back towards town to try to find a place we could still get breakfast. Then I remembered about Honeypie in Bayview. Our Honeypie adventure provided much entertainment. Little did we know they have Trivia Pursuit boxes on the tables. Normally, I would hate that… as Heather has crazy trivia powers, and me the pure opposite. Today was my day! Not only did I beat Heather -- 'cause yes… everything is a competition =) -- It was like some of the questions were designed for me. For example, "name the two airlines that flew the Concord" & "what airline is based in Frankfurt?" Those are easy peasy for this airplane geek! It was a wonderful breakfast and provided us some much needed laughter. Don't worry Heather, I have no doubt you will win that game every other day.
