The Old RFC Crew
Tonight I met up with a handful of my favorite friends from my last job at RFC. Jodee, Money, Michelle (Kus), Jessica and myself all met at Houlihan's in Richfield. I haven't seen any of them since we were laid off last October. It was a lot of fun to catch up with everyone and hear about their new jobs and what they're up to. I miss these girls and wish we could all work together again. And Kus, your sense of humor is still the best! I've missed it! We had the server take a picture of us when we were about to leave so of course the table is full of dishes and debit cards and receipts. Disregard the mess!

Weekend Recap August 22-24
Friday, August 22nd:
Friday night was relaxing as Michael and I just hung out in the living room with candles lit, listened to good music, drank some wine and just talked and enjoyed each other's company. We haven't done much of this all summer but I would imagine it will become more frequent now that fall is almost upon us. In the winter, we do this almost every weekend. It's one of our favorite things to do! We usually go to the liquor store for a big trip in the fall and stock up and fill the wine rack with all the different wines that we like.
Saturday, August 23rd:
Michael and I woke up bright and early and went to breakfast and then just hung out until late afternoon when it was time to go to tailgating for the Vikings game. It was just Michael and I this time and it was so much fun. We parked in a lot that we had never been to before. The people around us were nice and the weather was just perfect. We made cheese bread to dip into marinara on the grill as our appetizer and each had a bacon cheeseburger and chips. Michael's burger was full of cheese and piles of bacon. I enjoyed the lettuce and tomato better. I bought what I thought would be a fun drink to have a couple swigs of but it was really strong. It was 99 Bananas, which I think is a schnappes but the 99 means 99 proof. I thought it would be very banana tasting but it had a hint of banana and more of a nail polish remover taste. But mix that with some kiwi strawberry vitamin water and it becomes a nice little drink. :) The game itself wasn't the most interesting. I am normally pretty into the preseason games, just like regular season but for some reason this year is different. The Vikings lost 12-10 with a field goal from the Steelers with just seconds left. I am just happy that the Vikings held them to only 12 points. The Steelers are not my favorite team but they definitely have a very strong following, which annoys me when it's home. There were so many Steelers fans. The fans were very nice on Saturday but during the regular season, I do not remember them to be that way. After the game, we went home and I watched the movie, PS, I Love You. Have you seen it? There are many cheesy parts but overall, I liked it. It's a chic flick for sure. And I cried, but that's not saying much. I cry at everything!
Sunday, August 24th:
Michael and I took Keith and Hunter to go see Wall-E. Michael had seen it before and actually we found out that Hunter had already seen it too. The movie was really cute. Oh, and I cried in this movie too. Any rush of emotion, good or bad, there's tears for me. :) Hopefully we gave my brother in law, Tom, a little break from the kids so he could do whatever he wanted before my sister, Jamie came home. Jamie left her last trip in Branson, Missouri for work. She was there for the majority of the summer from before Memorial Day to now. Now she can hopefully focus on working here at the hotels in the Twin Cities. The kids actually wanted their pictures taken so I took advantage of the moment and let them pose in front of whatever they wanted.

I'm finally caught up!
I have not had a computer for a couple of weeks now so I haven't had much opportunity to post much so I finally caught up tonight on Michael's computer. I believe my computer's power supply went out so I ordered the part and it should be here on Friday for me to attempt to replace it. I hope that is all it is wrong with it because this is a cheaper fix and I don't want to fork out more money to have a professional look at it.
Tonight Michael and I went to an advance screening of the movie, The Rocker, starring Rainn Wilson, or better known as Dwight K. Shrute for you Office fans. I don't know what I was expecting but it's not like I thought it was going to be. I'm glad I went since it was free, but you might want to wait until it comes out on DVD. :)

Star Wars Exhibit
Michael, his cousin Jeff and myself all went to the Science Musuem of Minnesota to see the Star Wars Exhibit. We started our night with an Omni Theatre movie titled, Special Effects. After the movie, we went to the exhibit. Jeff was in complete heaven as he is a huge Star Wars fan. It was fun to see different models used in all of the 6 Star Wars movies, as well as costumes and props. We also saw a 15 minute movie about robots. We finished the exhibit with a jump to lightspeed in a recreated replica of the Millennium Falcon cockpit. I got to sit for a couple of minutes in the co-pilot seat so I could pretend that I was Chewbacca. He's my favorite. I think he's cute. We also spent some time looking at the general exhibits at the science musuem. A lot of the stuff we saw is the same stuff we saw there when we were kids but it never really gets old and it's always fun to explore. If you're interested in going to see this exhibit, hurry up because it ends August 13th.

I've Been Bitten by a Bug
I've been bitten by a bug...the bingo bug, that is. After going to play bingo with my coworkers last Friday, I've been thinking that I want to go back so that's what Michael and I did tonight. We went to play bingo at Little Canada Bingo, which is just minutes from our house. How convenient! Neither of us ended up winning. Actually we did pretty bad and didn't even get close but it was a lot of fun for a couple of hours. I am sure I will go again soon.
