So, what’d I do tonight after I called it quits on my detective duties tonight?
I walked with Stephanie and talked about The 3 Day. (WalkJogRun.net is so awesome for training walks.)
The short story? Three cops just chased a man completely and intentionally covered in purple paint through my parking lot.
The long story? I’m glad you asked.
In some down-to-the-wire fundraising attempts to make sure everyone on our team can participate in the walk, Team Boobylicious is having a good ol’ fashioned Pancake Breakfast this Saturday.
What: A breakfast of pancakes, bacon, sausage, and orange juice
When: Saturday, July 28th from 8-10 a.m.
Where: Applebee’s Restaurant at Knollwood Mall in St. Louis Park
How much: $5 per person
Register here: http://www.teamboobylicious.com/pancakes
Applebee’s has asked that we have no more than 200 folks there, so if you’re planning on coming, please register in advance! You can actually pay when you get there.
See you there, right?
Yesterday was Stitch n’ Pitch at the Metrodome. I had no intentions whatsoever in stitching anything during the game, but my homies were going to a Twins game, so of course I was going to go. Little did I realize some thread and a needle would have been handy during the game to actually stitch some peoples mouths shut and their butts to their seats. And trust me, if you look at the button I sewed onto my camouflage shorts, you don’t want me anywhere near you with a needle and some thread.
Based on my observations from yesterday’s game, I realized the following (man, this is like a science experiment):
That being said, the Twins played like crap yesterday. Their infield made some horrible throws, and when they weren’t overthrowing first base, the first baseman (who will remain nameless Justin Morneau) seems to forget that he can move to his right to stop a ground ball. One incredible dive for the ball by Jason Kubel should have been inspiring for the rest of the team to get their uniforms dirty, but they weren’t really thinking along those same lines.
I’m gonna need Terry Ryan to pull his head out of the sand and get some shuffling going on to the Twins lineup. At this point, I don’t even care who it is because anyone could inspire the lineup that played yesterday to try a little harder and do a little better.
If there’s any question as to why I don’t participate in the Friday Shuffle thing on a regular basis, I do believe this list should answer that question.
I’m realizing I need new music, but here’s the trick – I don’t know what I like. That kind of prevents me from adding things, no?
I’ve totally turned into one of these assholes that posts YouTube videos all the time. But with this video, I really can’t say I care.
I was writing letters tonight to send out for more donations for The 3 Day Walk and wound up watching this video:

I’ve watched it a lot since it was done live, but every time I watch it, I still get the same goosebumps and standy-uppy arm hairs the whole time.
I hope I can rock a bald head as much as Melissa does and as much as Chele does.
Over the past few years, I’ve finally been able to actually afford vacations that didn’t consist of just driving a few hours and mooching off someone for a couch and whatever leftovers they’d throw my way. And while I still love those kinds of getaways from time to time, I’m also realizing that I really love hopping on a plane, going somewhere I’ve never really had the chance to explore, and actually vacationing like a grown up. You know, with hotels and stuff!
When trying to plan our cruise earlier this year, Jenni and I used SideStep.com religiously. It was a checking every day, sometimes every hour type of thing and it was the most accurate one we were able to find as far as giving prices that the airlines were actually quoting instead of some random price other “save money on these flights” sites were giving us. And you know what I love just about as much I love Guitar Hero? Cheap Flights.
I have a list of places that I still want to get to before I’m tied down with things like, well, no money. Like where? Let’s take Philadelphia, for instance. Lots of amazing historical relevance – the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, the U.S. Mint, Benjamin Franklin Bridge – and I love learning me some history from places other than a text book. (Besides, the last history class I took was taught my Miss McKay, who kinda just wanted to get into the seniors pants and not teach history.) And there’s year ’round sports option for me to choose from – the Phillies, the 76ers, the Eagles, and the Flyers.
And then I’m sure it’s near Scranton, PA, and that means a tour of the local Dunder Mifflin building. (Shut up. It’s real.)
Hmm. Sidestep? Please locate Philadelphia Hotels. Thank you.

Team Boobylicious is holding a silent auction on August 16 at Hubert’s. That’s a week before the Breast Cancer 3Day, our very last fundraiser of the year. And it also happens to be the same time I’ll be shaving my head for hitting my goal of $5000. More details to come on that piece of it!
We already have many great items to offer. We have autographed Twins baseballs signed by Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, and the coaches. We have a professional bowling ball. We have handmade items, baked goods, and art. We have gift certificates to restaurants, and merchandise from local businesses. We have 2 $75 Timberwolves tickets.
In the interest of making this event a huge success, I would appreciate any help you can give us. I would love to be able to auction handmade or original items in particular. The results from the Boob Ha Ha were spectacular and it was all homemade! If you’re the kind of person who creates and wants to help a very good cause, please contact me via email or comments here.
You will be given very generous recognition for your contribution before and during the event, featured on our auction website, and will have the satisfaction of knowing you did a good deed. Thanks in advance for your help, and a very sincere thank you to everyone who has already donated items to the cause.

One of my Work Boys™ always sends me YouTube links and they’re always awesome.
According to him, New Orleans gets the southern hip-hop music first and then it works its way up here. I don’t know how true that is, but i don’t care. I just know I want to buy this song!
You know what else those thieving bastards that broke into my car last night/this morning took?
My Naked Lady Air Fresheners. This leads me to believe they were quite possibly just going through puberty and/or hadn’t seen nipples in a long time. Why else would they steal three stripper-scented air fresheners and leave things like my underwear?
They also took my crossword puzzle book. Looks like they got all of their Christmas shopping done just a bit early this year.
I think I may need to further investigate what else is missing…
