This is my chronicle of being awesome in Madison, Wisconsin Zone 5a. My name’s Megan. Often, funny things happen to me in Wisconsin. I like my garden(s). I really like TV, beer and my road bike. And I never want to get diabetes. Read more about me. (Do I have to say this? Maybe. Views here are mine and mine alone.) I’m going to turn 30 in 2015 so I only have two years to BE EXTRA AWESOME.
