June

Summer is flying by even tho it really just began.

Mon was a Saints game (http://www.saintsbaseball.com/) they lost but it was lots of fun. Donna and Tricia came with and it was nice to hang with them as we don't see either of them very often.
Tues - work Happy Hour - fun - saw Brian that used to work here.
Wed - relax - couple loads of laundry and Shear Genius started
Thur - Sen Mee Moua's bday party on Harriet Islnd. FUN - great night. Frannie Franken was there. This was the 3rd Annual "Ambitious Female" party for Sen Moua. It is a fundraiser for Mee - she uses the money to support other female dems (boys too) and non-profits that focus on womens issues. Her family makes the food (they have a great restaraunt on East 7th near my house)
Fri - 5th Annual (my first) Kaposia Days parade party at Courtneys - followed by Texas Hold em and bonfire when the kids leave - and maybe a beer or two.
Sat - Heidi scored tix to the US Womens Open at Interlachen (sp) with access to IBM Hospitality Suite (aren't we special)
Sun - hopefully some pool time.

Travis has a new girlfriend (Tiffany) - seems nice but I need to interogate her more.

Next week I have two days off - YAY!!!

KG and Top Chef

so I was going to blog about T Chef and then decided not too cuz LRH3 hadn't seen it yet. Stephanie won and I think it is SO AWESOME. She was my fav - cool that a chick with class won. Steph was nice, cooked great, from CHI town and FEMALE. There is still some snobbiness in chef world that is gender biased. Way to go Stephanie!


Now for the real news - I see LRH2 already blogged about our man KG. I have been watching the playoff games and he has struggled at times but came through last night. What an emotional and fantabulous moment - and yes I cried right along with KG.

The game was SICK!!!!! I appreciate that KG threw outa comment to "sota" and Chicago. He really has been a class act (even though some effenheimers flew....but how could they not?) Some flew at my house over the course of the series. Don just laughs at me cuz I'm all alone hootin and hollerin in the living room - he can hear me in the yard sometimes.

Throughout the series I learned to appreciate some Celtics - guys I didn't really know before but now maybe I have a second team to love :) Rondo, Perkins, Allen, and of course KG

Too bad Wolves mgmt couldn't (wouldn't) do what Celtics did - last year they only won 24 games and look at them now.

KG got a ring baby - bittersweet - to bad it wasn't in 'Sota. Can't wait for next season.

I do love my new Wolves - don't get me wrong.

OH YEAH _ LAKERS SUCK AND KOBE IS OVERRATED. ( i do grudingly admit his talent- but he is a creep) one guy in the crowd had on a tshirt that said LA SUCKS. Funny. Wish we had fans here that were in to the game and supported the teams no matter what. Makes a game so much more fun when everyone is part of the team. Like college or a LYNX game. Good time.

Diane Miller

So someone who was my very best friend for a while in my youth googled me and tracked me down. We did not part on the best of terms although I don't know if she would think of it that way but she screwed me over.

We had dinner last night - it was fun and lasted 2 1/2 hours. She brought pix of our wild and crazy young days (18-21 ish). I got to pick some out and keep them. Wish I had that waistline!!!!

Diane would like to meet again and probably on a regular basis. I'm not sure but we will see.

Talking with Diane last night made me think about some things and I am SO THANKFUL for all of you that read this blog (and those that don't). No matter what crap I had going on or how low I felt I always knew that I had friends and family that loved me and cared about me - even if I didn't show it or let you in.

I am fortunate for many things - some people don't even have family that gives a rats patoot.

Now don't tease me for showing emotion or it might not happen again ;)

June?!?!

How did it get to be June already? At the Epiphany reunion I had 3 others from my class show up - Lori Kish, Rose Sulivan and Pam Hartman. They look almost the same as they did when they were 15.......... I do not. Damn them! Lori has been a stay at home mom for 10 years (her oldest is turning 10 soon) and Pam has been a stay at home mom for 5 years (her kids are 18 and 20). Rose and I still slave away. But I really couldn't imagine not working anyway - unless I won the lottery and could spend all my time volunteering.

Work has been very busy - I have been here past 5pm several times - hell might freeze over!

Sunday I met my friend Teri and her baby girl Kiera for a walk around Como. Kiera is 10 months and this was the first time I saw her - SO CUTE. Chubby cheeks, blue eyes, bald head, 4 teeth! and some talking. She was a pistol and we had a great time. Started out with lunch at Leann Chin - walked a little, then found a shaded bench right by the water. There was a duck family with 15 babies - it was precious. And Teri is more cute than ever - I swear she is skinnier than before she got pregnant - I on the other hand am still carrying around baby weight. HAHA

Went to work out last night - first time in about 2 months. I am getting back on the work out wagon right now. Treadmill tonight and water aerobics again tomorrow.

I want to be able to bend over some day!
