No. that is a tribute for Bob. I think he used to work on the boards or something.

Oooohhhhhh okay. I still don't know who that is. Thanks for clarifying that for me. How fun would that have been if it stood for build a water balloon?

Last night I found a Walgreen's and I bought 6 cans of Arizona Georgia Peach w/ Green Tea & Ginseng drinks. I also got 2 bottles of their Pomegranate flavored one. They taste so good and yet I have a hard time finding them. I only see it at convenient stores at the gas stations or at Rite Aide or Walgreen's.

I'm now addicted to these though and have been drinking that and also orange juice in place of soda.

My bf told me that he finished a whole jug of the Green Tea W/ Honey and Ginseng at work yesterday. He's lost so much weight. He was never fat to begin with but now his waist size is a 29 or 30.

I watched the movie The Duchess with Keira Knightley and Ray Fienes. It wasn't bad, very sad at some points and disturbing at times but I couldn't help but picture Ray Fienes as Voldemort.

If it involves a dole whip float I am sure you will have no problem with whatever it means

 

[funnygarcia]

hmm, snapple seems to get more shelf space around here too.

I see there is a Pre trip report for the ladies trip. Slightly easier to scan thru and see what is planned (besides the tours and meals listed on front page).
Guess I will update Beth that I will be there, kinda..

sigh.. teenager begging for the computer. BYE!

Good evening, hyenas!

We just booted the kids off the wii so they could start getting ready for bed and WE could take possession of the TV.

Saving us off of page 4....

Last night hubby and I ended up at Friday's.. it was yummy! I had bacon wrapped shrimp for my entree, yummmmmmmm. Screw Applebee's (it's a few blocks away from our apt, had a crappy meal last time) , we're going to Friday's from now on!

He asked the wait server for a "fruity" drink , she offered up a new Mojito with cranberry juice. She brought it to the table, not only did he get a glass full, but a whole freakin shaker full! Perfect for sharing, melty and fruity goodness. I was nicely toasted by the end of dinner.

Hubby said no to shopping, but we had time to kill, we took a turn walking one level of the mall. Wandered back to the car to pull it around to the movie theatre end of the mall. I was still nice and toasty warm, exclaiming to hubby - wow it's so nice outside! He looked at me oddly.

Went to Inkheart, yes I know we picked a kid movie on our date night.. we are pathetic. It was just okay ,they could have done better. It was a great story but seemd to be cut and pasted together, didn't flow well.

Got out of the movie, not so toasty.. shivering in fact. Brrrrrr, it was 21 degrees, which really is not that bad for late January in the evening. But I guess the fruity melty goodness had worn off to make me realize.. oh crap we are in MN winter afterall.

Went to Target to stroll until they kicked us out at closing. Bought mini toothpaste/brush and a small tube of sunblock for my solo trip.

As a first foray into the adult 'date night" world, not bad.

Today, absolutely NOTHING. I'm bored, surrounded by teenage boys playing Xbox 360 and DH is watching Fantastic 4 in the bedroom.. blahhhhhhhhhhh.

 

[Alex2kMommy]

It's 8:19 PM here, and the kids were annoyingly obnoxious, so we sent them to bed. DH and I are now snuggled under blankets watching tenors (priests, judging by their outfits) on PBS, and the quiet is so lovely.

DH's temp is up a bit (a good thing), and I'm hoping mine is down a bit closer to normal (I haven't checked it yet.) I took a long nap this afternoon, though the boys were goofing around in the next room, so I wasn't sleeping deeply. Still nice anyway.

 

[Alex2kMommy]

OMG, we just stumbled onto a show about the greatest Superbowl commercials. I had never seen the one about herding cats (2000), that's hilarious!!!

Hello Hyenas,
Wow, our thread is so quiet! I just listed 2 Juicy pursed on ebay. I'm trying to get rid of some of my purses and make some extra

Yesterday my bf and I went to Kiki's Bakery and got some bread and then we ate at a Japanese Ramen place. The food was good. I had a beef bowl with rice and we shared some eel (yes eel and it tastes like fish) and shrimp gyoza. My bf ordered some noodle soup. Then I went to this Hello Kitty store and got 2 Jap magazines. One came with a free heart zip pouch bag and the other came with a makeup pouch that has Alice and the Cheshire cat on it. Really cute. Then we stopped at Fry's Electronics and my bf bought Bram Stoker's Dracula on DVD. It had Keanu Reeves in it, Carey Elwes and Winona Ryder. I didn't know that the guy who played Dracula also played Sirius Black in Harry Potter! I'm not into horror films so I couldn't bare to watch much.

bump bump bumping along....

N took archery as a unit for phy ed in school, he's been asking for a compound bow ever since his first class. This is a child who rarely expresses any interest in a specific activity (beyond video games).
He researched and asked his phy ed teacher where the school rents the bows.. off we went to check out prices today.

More expensive than we thought... but they do have youth tournaments that he can join to compete. The store has an indoor shooting range, we watched a group for awhile.. ranging from pre teen to senior ciitizen.
Mostly guys, there were two teen girls hanging out with their younger brother and dad.
The lady at the store told us that the student bow is also called a family bow, any age group can use it and it does not require adjusting or much else in terms of maintenance.

They only had yellow and magenta in stock, N voted for blue .. looks like next week he will get a bow and it will be his birthday present.

Hubby and I find it interesting that two "city people" created a child that adores the outdoors. N has interests in fishing, rock collecting and tracking animals in the great outdoors. Last year he had a blast finding snakes, lizards and watching for animals on the surrounding mountains. Now we add archery to his interests, told him I don't want to see him shooting bambi. He rolled his eyes at me, no mom... it's archery not hunting.

Pffft fine! Just throwing it out there before it becomes an issue
