This is really interesting…

I was at Walgreens the other day and saw that they are selling snuggies for DOGS! Isn’t that completely ridiculous? I mean honestly, it’s a dog, if you’re one of those people that wants to put a snuggie on them, just put the one you already own on them, obviously….

I tried coming up with a list of my top 10 favorite bars – click here to see it. I wanted to add a little bit more to it as well as some more pictures (especially at bleachers) but it was just taking too long. Also, if you’re confused why on earth I need a “blog” category on my blog, click the “welcome” link at the top of the blog for a little background

Lately I’m thinking…

Holzer, let’s discuss the locker situation some more over a delicious wheat beer from the brew pub – see the soapbox for some of my thoughts though (here’s an article link as well)

Lately I’m thinking…

“Is this tootbrush approved by the american dental association?”

The Soapbox:

Locker was predicted by mcshay as the #1 overall pick, but that was far from a guarantee. I think it’s safe to say he would have been in the top 10 though. And although the labor agreement is expiring, there really is no guarantee that the wages are going to drop that much for rookies. Sarkisian said agents/draft guys told both carson palmer and matt leinert to come out early because pay would change for the worse the next year. Also, for QBs the big paycheck is the 2nd one, not the first, and the percentages of qbs coming out their junior year are much worse than seniors (and i feel especially with locker who everyone agrees isn’t polished yet). He’s also turned down two big baseball contracts before, so money doesn’t seem to be the issue. There’s obviously arguments both for leaving and staying, but I think it came down to him just wanting to play college football one more year, especially after they seemed to figure out how to best use him the last two games, and i’m excited!

The new Reader of the Week….Heather Imsande! Heather is in her 4th year of med school at Boston University (austin massachusetts?), although I still drop medical knowledge bombs on her all the time. She’s also an accomplished <insert anything here>. She’ll be in Seattle all week (hopefully doing chores) so we get a pre-Christmas bonus break together this year. Enjoy your free cocktail tonight Heather! (don’t forget to pay for the rest)

This mind blowing video Mitch sent to me this morning – click here to see it. Warning, it’s actually mind blowing. On a side note, Robin Hood and Jungle Book are terrific movies. I’m not even mad….that’s amazing

This is really interesting…

We went to Steph’s Christmas party last night at Ponti, and those things are funny enough on their own, but they also a gift exchange with like 50 people (it takes an hour). I swear there are almost fights over some items, it’s out of control. Steph’s big plan this year was to claim the gift we originally brought and act like we didn’t know what it was, but it was obviously spoiled when someone ‘stole’ it from us. So then we shifted our focus from just finding something we could re-gift to the white elephant exchange at my Christmas party on Saturday. After a few steals and some side trades, we walked away with a snuggie. Steph actually traded a guy a blanket with NO sleeves for it, what an IDIOT!! hahahha

Lately I’m thinking…

My knee’s kind of been popping lately and I kind of hurt my hip reaching down my left side to pick something up, but my snow joke training routine of not training isn’t suffering at all! On a side note, steph literally ran over my heel today when I got out of the car after I explicitly told her I didn’t want to get out of the car while it was moving

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!! I’m coming home the 18th – 30th, and although I have to work a couple of those days I’m very excited for the extended stay!!!

Ryan Klitz for my Kansas snuggie. It’s honestly changing my life – although I don’t think it’s for better. The other day i was lying with it on and couldn’t think of a single reason why i would ever leave the house. Even going to work is hard knowing that it’s waiting just upstairs. Jakers, that’s awesome you got a custom bobcat one – good luck doing stuff

This is really interesting…

I had a big BBQ meal for lunch today and was really full by the time I was done. But as I walked into the kitchen to throw my stuff away I noticed cookies from specialties had magically appeared, so I ate a snickerdoodle the size of my head. Now i really don’t feel so good.

24 hours of college basketball on ESPN. It kicked off at midnight eastern last night with cal state northridge beating stupid ucla in double overtime and kept rolling with a game in hawaii and then a 6AM tip off for two schools on the east coast – wow – have fun tailgaiting for that one. Anyway Kansas plays memphis tonight as it continues, i will be upstairs in the mentioned snuggie if anyone wants to come up.

Jakers good call on the ninja article, we’re really on the same page. Click here for those who haven’t read it yet. I’m happy to annouce that it was not me that was impaled for everyone out there that was worried.

The Soapbox:

Holzer a new TV huh! That’s a great quote from landlord Jeff about the brand new fridge he had bought – “this fridge really rocks the house” as he leaned on it and it rocked from side to side.
