Crunch Bday Party





















Abby and I went to the Twolves game vs Dallas on Sun. It was Crunch's birthday party. There was face painting - mascot autographs, ice cream, posters, signs to make and more. Abby and I had a great time.

Random Thoughts

Looking forward to P Run reunion tonight.

Jon is in AZ and Heidi is in CT - it is about 100 degress warmer in AZ and 60 degress warmer in CT than in MN when you factor in windchill. Where are the Robins ???? I need spring. Oh yeah - according to Katey the Robins (birds anyway) are in Idaho!!!

I can't wait for Mar 7th when I too will be in AZ. Started tanning in prep for the trip. Two sessions so far. It feels so good to tan - that light really perks me up!

Talked to my VP today about future career moves here. It was a good conversation. I think I am going to work on getting some certifications - Six Sigma or LEAN etc.

Timberwolves beat the Nets last night - 104 to 88 - good game!

Tomorrow they take on Spurs - probably not a win. And then on Sun it will be the Mav's - who now have Jason Kidd - ouch. But Sun is Crunch's bday party so Abby and I will get blow up Crunch punching bags as the giveway - we gotta get there early!!

weekend

My bday dinner at FOGO was AWESOME!!!!! I would definitely recommend it and go there again. The Brazilian cocktail was quite tasty and the chocolate molten cake was fabu!! After dinner went back to my place - Hiedi, Chanda, Lori, Pnut and I played Apples to Apples and some Wii. Quite a few people baled on my bday due to sickness and other issues - I'm not mad just disappointed. So much for my plan to get DRUNK!

H and I had pedi's on Sun - felt so good. I have blue-green toes with a flower and gemstone on each big toe. Then we met LRH3 (Cuz CareBear) for The Bucket List at my favorite theater (we belong to the 5 buck club)

Now I need to do some tanning to prep for AZ in a couple weeks. J&G are there right now.

Oh - and my house is really clean. That is why I need to host an event every once in a while :)

Fri - bday tomorrow - Lost and P Run

I am so excited for Fogo - YUM YUM.
Got some nice flowers from Teri S for my bday and really nice roses from Don for V Day.

Went to Twolves Lakers game Wed - it was a blood bath.

V Day was mellow - made a nice dinner - picked up a fancy dessert. Did some laundry and watched LOST.

THE MOST AMAZING SEASON EVER!!!!

Sayid (sp) working for Ben - he is a killer because of some hold Ben has over him?
Jacobs house went where?

I am so happy about P Run - I hope Chris gets in the final instead of Rami. And I really want Christian to WIN!!!!!!!

Celtics WIN - crap

The game was AWESOME - check out Heidi's blog for pix. We lost the game at the final buzzer - it was a nail biter !! It was great to see KG for the minute pregame. It was also sad. I really hope he gets his ring.

I watched The Kingdom and Nannie Diaries this weekend - both were good.


My friend Teri from SPS sent me beautiful flowers for my bday - she is such an awesome friend!! We don't see enough of each other.

KG in da house - - - - - and LOST

so he will be here - there will be a little pre-game ra ra but he won't play due to his abdominal strain. I am least glad we will see him. Heidi made a sign also so it should be fun. Plus I will be in a drawing for a suite with 22 tix for the Knicks game. Hope I win!!! Only STH's are in teh drawing so my odds are decent.

LOST is so fantasmic this season. I hate it when the hour is over. I think I will have to start reading the net about it to see what folks think - theories out there etc.

Counting the hours til next Thur!!

I also checked out Lipstick Jungle - it was pretty good.

Warning!!!! P Runway Spoiler!!! And more

from Brain M - DFL MN chair - Note: We not only broke all prior records, we shattered them. The all-time caucus-turnout record, in 1968, was under 80,000. Turnout topped 75,000 only one other time, in 1972. Last night we topped 200,000; Secretary of State Mark Ritchie estimates that, when all the precincts report, more than 230,000 DFLers attended a precinct caucus -- triple the old record.

didn't want the spoiler to be first thing :)

Finally Ricky is gone - I am glad. What cracked me up tho' is he cried every episode except this one. He gets sent home and doesn't cry? That was worth crying over!

Mitt Romney dropped out today/suspended his campaign - good news. Also potentially scary - does that mean his peeps will now flock to Huckabee? YIKES!!!

The caucus was fun and packed! Like Heidi I was secretary for my precinct - the job no one ever wants :) 112 people voted and it was like 67 Obama and 45 Hilary - Don even stopped by to vote. About 20-25 people were there for the bulk of the meeting - everyone else came and went.
At the after party I shook hands with Walter Mondale - that was SOOO COOL!! Brought back my memory of going to pay respects at Humphries casket with my dad at the capitol all those years ago - DFL from birth don'tcha know!

In case you were wondering I am for Hilary first and Obama second.

Tomorrow is the big Celtics - Wolves game and it is looking like KG won't play. I hope he at least shows up. If not, it will be a big bummer!!!!

STH of the game





More Photos will be posted later.





5:00 - arrive at Target Center - enter VIP gate, a get program - chat with the guys about my "status" as the STH of the game.


5:40 order chix strips and fries - ok - not as good as they smelled


6:00 walk down to the Timberwolves bench area - chat with Monte (usher) while waiting for Lindsay my ticket rep. Monte was also at the gate when we walked through so he recognized us.


6:05-6:20 - watch players warm up and take pix


6:20 - 7:05 meet Lindsay - sit on player bench ( yep my butt was on the same vinyl as the players) chat about the players - watch them stretch etc. Take photos of me and Lacy on the TWolves logo on the floor - sitting on players bench - standing on court with players behind us.


During this time Marko came over and asked if we could move a little and he proceeded to stretch out 2 feet from me (or less) then he bent over and showed us some bum. I swear he did it on purpose.


7:05 - go out to meet Michael Doeleac and get my ball signed. They said my name but I hear nothing and the photo the staff took shows my goofy grin. Lindsay then escorts us off the court to my seats - where were they?

Courtside - yep behind the hoop and next to the opposing players entry area. Sam Cassell walked right by. The seats were $300 each. Crikey! It was awesome. I also received a TWolves tote bag - candle - Big Al Tshirts - Grand casino coupons and the ball signed by Doelac. The ball is a mini-ball.

IT WAS SO FREAKING COOL!!!!!
