Celtic Christmas Boutique and Badger Win in Overtime

 

This morning Travalon and I went to Literatus in Watertown, since we hadn't been there in a while. The coffee there is so good, and the chocolate twists are amazing. Then we drove on to Wauwatosa to go to the Milwaukee Celtic Center Christmas Boutique. We got soap and chocolate-covered Oreos, and I looked at some cool jewelry, but it felt wrong to buy more jewelry when I already have so much that I don't get around to wearing. So of course I bought something even more practical: a Waterford crystal paperweight. Like a wind is going to blow away my papers?


I thought the back was kind of cool-looking too.


Then we went for a hike at Lapham Peak, since it was such a lovely day for this time of year. I loved this "Snack Bench."


In the evening we went to the East Side Club to watch the Badger game. It started out as badly as last week, with Nebraska marching down the field and scoring on the opening drive, but the Badgers did pull it together and were up by a field goal by the end of the game. Their defense, which had been doing so well after that pathetic opening drive, couldn't stop the Cornhuskers, and they kicked a field goal with no time left to tie up the game. In overtime, the Badgers drove down the field and scored a touchdown, and then Nebraska was on fourth and fifteen yards, and the quarterback threw a long pass that was intercepted, so we won!! This means Wisconsin will probably be in some pathetic bowl, which seems really unfair with their 500 record when Troy University (which we saw on our trip down South in February) has a 9-2 record and won't go to a bowl. College football is the stupidest thing ever.
