Happy Monday, everyone. Ouch.
I’m going to try to do the Bowling for the Cure wrapup, but there’s just so much I want to say about it, I’m sure I’ll forget a lot.- First of all, thank you to everyone who came to the event. We appreciate it so much. I hope you had a good time; from what I’ve heard, we all did!! Also, thank you to everyone who helped out that day.
- We made over $1,500!! We paid off all our expenses (food and beer) within the first hour. I can’t believe how well-prepared we were. Everything went perfectly. When the first group walked through the door at 4pm, we all panicked, because it was for real.
- We got listed in Citypages and on a few Twin Cities blogs. Even people we didn’t know showed up!
- We met the two newest members of the team we hadn’t previously met. Amanda and Heather rock. Our team is the best.
- We’ll be doing the raffle drawing tonight, and I’ll hopefully have a chance to call/email everyone about it tonight. We’ll either mail or deliver prizes in person.
- We had a couple requests to buy our team tshirts, because they rule. Therefore, we present: THE BOOBYLICIOUS STORE!
- I’m still a little upset over seeing my mom eagerly playing bingo-for-beer. Haha. OK, it was totally cute how my parents came and hung out for a couple hours, and how all my friends spent time talking to them. That’s so awesome.
- Come to think of it, I don’t even know how many people were there, but it was more than I expected, and all the bowling lanes were full all night. We sold hundreds of raffle tickets.
- Mark took us back to see the behind-the-scenes at the bowling alley. ROCK. We also got to tag the walls with our names.
- I love Team Awesome. I might even marry them, although that’s illegal in all 50 states.
- When I saw Chele come down the stairs, I jumped up and down with excitement. If you didn’t know, my walk is dedicated to her and her absolute coolness.
- I have many pictures. By far, our team picture is the best. It makes me sniffly!! (Thanks to Wendy for posting it; she has many more on Flickr.)

the food and beer table The rest of the weekend was kinda crazy and flew by. Friday night, I spent a good portion of the evening on the floor behind the bar with Cindi, drinking something that was like moonshine, only better (and a hell of a lot more painful the next day). Because of that hangover, I almost threw punches at people at the party store for lookin’ at me funny when I went for pink balloons, until I realized I was wearing a tshirt with ‘boobylicious’ on it. Oops. Yesterday two people test-drove Chico, and I really hope one of them works out, for a couple different reasons. I finally have a date with grabass boy, and I keep laughing over what he’ll think when he finds out I’ve been referring to him as grabass boy, although I totally know he’ll be fine with it. Wendy and Stephanie and I did a nine-mile training walk through
