Ain't no thang but a chicken wing

For any of you who missed it, the cyclones beat the goldfinches 15-13. The game was sweet from the hawkeye section where Greg and I sat with his parents. Yes we were "those guys", the annoyingly loud people cheering for the other team. The best part was calling all my hawk friends to make sure they knew the final score. I was just trying to be helpful.

Fun in Boston

This is my 10th trip to Boston since February. Here's some fun thangs that have happened today.

A bunch of suits curiously watched me, my bright yellow backpack and my flip flops sit in first class.

My car (an Altima) has no key. The key hole on the dash was replaced with a giant "Start" button, which I have never seen before. I pushed the "Start" button about 5 times before I decided to use a lifeline and phone a friend. Thank you Jeff Johnson! I got the car started and made it to Quincy.

I somehow forgot my computer power cord and my computer was dead. I had to sweet talk someone in IT to let me borrow one. The guy threatened to charge me if it "grows legs and walks back to Maple Grove." If he wouldn't have said anything, it probably would be walking tomorrow.

Tomorrow I fly in at 3:30 and Greg flies in at 4:30 and then we head to the Iowa/ISU game in Ames! Go Cy, the bird that's a cyclone!

Cucumber Bread

Is it just me or do cucumbers and zucchini look exactly alike?

I bought a "zucchini" at the farmer's market and told Syd I was excited to make some bread. She kindly told me I just bought a cucumber.

So if anyone needs a cucumber, let me know. Cucumber bread sounds nasty.

Sneezing Whiplash

I feel much better now, but have another problem.

Every day at sunrise and sunset I have been sneezing so violently I feel like I'm giving myself whiplash. It's like my cold is trying so hard to leave my body that it is physically throwing itself out my nose.

It's not working. I'm still sneezing.

Sniffle, sniffle

I'm sick today.

It's no fun.

I ran out of kleenex so I had to use napkins. My nose hurts.

Boo.

Ramen-licious

I told Greg I would make dinner tonight so I brought over 2 packages of Ramen. I don't think he'll ask me to make dinner again anytime soon. Bummer.

Dinner Partay

Mike and Syd had us over for a fantastic dinner last week. It was so pretty I had to take a picture of it. My plate is the one with the wine cooler in front of it. Yummy!

After dinner we played a friendly game of Trivial Pursuit, girls vs boys. Here's a picture of Syd and I digging deep to figure out the answer. We couldn't find it.


The boys somehow managed to beat us, but I'm blaming it on drinking too many wine coolers.
