Kitty's, and T-wolves,and Vikings - Oh My!

Ok, so we got a new cat. Her name is Tabby, and she is a very good kitty. And she likes me. She keeps crawling up on my lap while I'm trying to type. It's rather cute.

I went to the Timberwolves game last night, they lost. But MissZalyssa is planning on becoming a basketball groupie. It's in her genes. ZarahZou, you missed out on a great game.

I just got back from the Vikings game. They won. But we parked liken 987 blocks away from the dome, and when we were leaving it was raining and very, very cold. My hands are still frozen.

I really should be cleaning my house in anticipation of the millions of people that are coming over for dinner on Thanksgiving. At the very least I should take the leftover Halloween candy off the couch. But that's just so much work. I'd rather do the dishes. So that's what I'm going to do.....

Time to let go....

Ok, I decided that I needed to have a resolution for the start of the college basketball season. This season I pledge to try to let go of the (illogical) bitterness I feel towards former MN coach, current MD coach Brenda Freese. There is no REAL reason for me not to like her. I was just watching the MD-OK game, and she is pregnant with twins. How can I harbor bitterness towards someone who is about to have twins? Yes, she is a very successful coach and recruiter who abandoned the MN team. But, that was a few years ago and I need to get over, everyone else in the world has. So, Ms. Freese, good luck to you on the babies, but may you lose every basketball game.

I tried sushi....

and I didn't die. MissZalyssa had an extreme fascination with buying sushi from the Target deli. So I finally gave in about bought her the California Roll for $5.00. I tried a piece, and it wasn't awful. It wasn't actually good, but it wasn't terrible. Not certain I'd eat it again, but she liked it. I guess that that is what's important.

I got a flu shot today. They make it so easy to get one at work. A nurse comes in, you just show your Medica card and then they shot you int he arm. So now I won't get sick all winter, right? Does the flu shot ward off sinus infections and colds? It should.

I'm getting a pedicure on Saturday. I like pedicures. Yes, it is winter. Yes, it will probably snow tonight. But I am still wearing flip=flops and getting a pedicure. I like pedicures. Plus, just cause it's almost Thanksgiving is really no excuse to not have beautiful toes.

I am debating about getting ready to maybe get started on making my Thanksgiving grocery list. I wish someone would do that for me. I don't mind the cooking, but the planning is just so hard.

Ok, I am going to go have my nutri-dinner.....

I have two major problems....

and they are not very funny, so don't laugh.

First, I think I am addicted to Chai Tea drinks from Starbucks. Chai Tea Latte's, Chai Tea Frappachino's, Chai Tea whatevers. I love them all. And at over $4 a drink, this addiction is nearly as bad as coke. Is there a support group for quitting Starbucks? I am going to need to get a part-time job to support this bad habit.

Second, I really think I like the Jonas Brothers. Not in like a "they are so cute way", but in a way like "every song they sing is catchy and cute and gets stuck in my head". Is that bad? I'm 30-ish and I like listening to a teeny-bopper boy band.

First Gopher's game of the season is on tonight. Allegedly I supposedly can watch it on-line. I hope that is true. I would be sad to not be able to watch the start of basketball season. I heart Gopher's basketball.

Ok, I have to super-exercise a lot tonight to burn off the calories of my Chai Tea Frap. It only has like 7000 calories, so 18 hours on the elliptical shall take care of it.
