28

28 = second highest cribbage score possible*

28 = my cribbage hand :)

does it matter that chris still managed to beat me after getting this hand? as a matter of fact it doesn't. pish.

*29 is the highest possilbe score

and yes - i'm well aware of my own nerdiness.

'Al'

al: 'Al'

chris: 'Hi' (can't recall what he said after that....)

al: 'Nice to meet you'

chris: 'I'm not the guy you're looking for' (or something to that effect - his memory is hazy)


shall i start at the beginning?

al franken spoke at the como park school in st. paul today. my friend kristin teaches there and invited us to come and hear him. i worked and was unable to get it off but chris (lucky duck) had the day off and went.

kristin had her cell phone off so chris headed into the office and told them he was here to see kristin - that she had invited him to hear the speaker. the kid calling kristin's room got confused and told her that her speaker was here. chris said 'no no - i'm not the speaker - i'm here to hear him - al franken.' at this the kid hangs up on kristin (leaving her very confused) and says 'there's al franken now.' chris turns around and al walks up and the above words were exchanged.

after that kristin and chris listened to him speak for about 45 minutes. after that chris came home and resumed his post on the couch (he's been pretty sick last night and today). kristin returned to her classroom only to be surrounded by a hound of students all asking about the hot guy she was seen with :) knowing that it makes no difference how you answer she just said nothing. all the kids agreed that she had a hot 'boyfriend' which we both thought was great :)

so - it was a pretty darned good monday (aside from chris being sick and all that is)

you and me sunday driving....

this picture was supposed to be on the bottom but i can't figure out how to get it there

do you understand this?

chris and i spent the day relaxin' - it was (still is) splendid......

i woke up wanting bacon eggs toast and french toast. we didn't have any of that in the apartment. so we hopped in the car and headed to the New Louisiana Cafe in St. Paul. we stumbled upon it and february and it's awesome. the first time was a shocker - they have LARGE servings - now we know just to split - even then you're still stuffed for the rest of the day. but it's worth it :)

after eating we headed out to Minnehaha Park and took a little stroll - it was beautiful!

lean on me

i'm sure he won't appreciate me posting this but i love it!

we saw this boat on the way home - well we heard it before we saw it as it's large organ was playing! it looked awesome though and we now want to take a paddle boat ride down the Mississippi

it's been a lovely day thus far. now we're going to make some thai salad rolls and watch a movie. hope you all had a good weekend :)

p.s. i had a good day yesterday as well - i just got extremely frustrated at the computer while attempting to get photos ready for posting and just gave up before i ruined my night. technology makes me angry sometimes. (i know you all find that hard to believe...i'm normally oh-so-laid-back)

sucks....

my computer sucks and is really really really really really pissing me off at the moment.

so this is all i'm doing for blogging today.

sucks.

Smokin'

i have a hot boyfriend

Pardon my French (Part Deux)

i don't want to start ranting so i'll keep it short.

the 'pardon my french' blog was directed at some asshole who was soooooooo offended by our (my workplace's) greeter's (an absolute doll of a elderly lady i'll call dolly - everyone loves her!) Indian Princess costume that he had the hire-ups call down to complain and make her take it off. then they had to send up some sap ass to make sure she had actually done it.

puhlease!

people like this royally piss me off! it's fucking Halloween you too-sensitive-overly-politically-correct warthog! Lighten up or stay home and lock the door!

i told dolly she should give her costume to me and i'd wear it. and if anyone said anything i'd tell them to kiss my ass becuase i am indian - bitch!

is it just me or has this shit gone too far?

i could go on and on and on and on about 'holiday trees' and so and so forth but i can feel the adrenaline starting to rush and i best stop. this shit just really really pisses me off - if you couldn't tell already....

what are your thoughts?

Amputation....

i'm giving serious thought to just cutting off my right pinky toe. seriously.

everytime (okay...so it's only been twice) that i've gone for a nice long walk alone that darned toe turns into one massive blister. i've tried two different shoes and two kinds of socks. i even tried taking my sock off half way home because it was just killing me! i think it's the socks...and those damn seams that hit right on the toe. argh.

my toe hurts :(
