The Cubs will never cease to amaze me. They can't buy a win this season, even teams that are somehow worse than they are manage to sweep them, and are so far out of it the Great Trifecta will fail to be complete at the end of this season. (Red Sox '04, White Sox '05, Cubs '06) And yet somehow, the team that continously screws up day in and day out ( Read more... )

At the Taste of Chicago I saw a guy wearing a shirt that said "Green Shirts are for Pimps." Meghan was wearing a green shirt, so she was teased about this all night. Then last night I went to BW3 with some friends. Pat was wearing a green Guiness t-shirt. I laughed to myself a bit. Then Chris showed up, wearing his green Little Lebowski shirt. And ( Read more... )

What can you get at Meijer for $3.22?

One red onion, one bunch of green onions, two ears of corn, two cans of tomato sauce, a can of pineapple, and thirty two cents change-

It's going to be a very long day.

We got a Phantom Fireworks catalog in the mail today. And then I spent over an hour perusing Shelton's website. But sadly, this will be my third straight year that lacks a backyard fireworks display. The 4th just isn't the same without it. But Dad's "new" neighbors all have horses, so we can't do the show there, and I can only imagine how much my ( Read more... )

So I'm at Gayle's last night and this guy I met a few weeks ago says to me, I went home after we talked last time and got out my yearbook, and I found a picture of Meghan and Cheryl and you. They both look really different, but you look exactly the same ( Read more... )

For someone who enjoys eating so much, I sure don't do it often enough. I have absolutely no worthwhile food in my house. (And no room in my fridge. Go figure that one out. I suppose getting rid of the eight dozen Easter eggs that date back to '05 might free up some space.) I would kill for one of those new ham and swiss sandwiches from Wendy's. ( Read more... )
