Guys, my cruise pictures are DONE<\/a>! And it only took me a month. Dang.<\/p>\n

As far as weekends go, this one was pretty much perfect. We had dinner with Dan and Kate at Big 10 while watching the Gophers game Friday, and while I expected to be either crying or in a fistfight by the end of it (as they were playing UND), such was not the case: it ended in a tie. When your team is alarmingly terrible and they’re playing their biggest rival, you’re very, very happy about that.<\/p>\n

We headed over to the 90s with Kate, where we met up with Wendy, Meg, and Lisa, who was celebrating her birthday. The first thing she said to me was that I was not allowed to buy her a birthday shot. That lasted all of an hour!<\/p>\n

Saturday, we did all our round-the-house stuff and watched some of the playoffs before meeting my sister for our traditional pregame celebration at Grumpy’s. We then headed to Mariucci, at least 20% less nervous about the second in the UND series. The Gophers had proven that they could stand up to the Flickertails, so we had a little hope.<\/p>\n

And then, the most awesome thing happened.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5-1 Gophers. The third and fourth goals happened within 7 seconds of one another, setting a new record for the team. We hadn’t even finished high-fiving everyone before the second one happened. I know I shouldn’t get my hopes up for the rest of the season, but I’ll do so anyway. They’re my beloved Gophers, after all.<\/p>\n

Matt and I went to Bradstreet for cocktails after the game. Downtown was swarming with Cowboys fans in a vast array of trashiness. There was a very amusing table of them near us at the bar, and they managed to deplete both the Crown Royal and the Balvenie supply. That’s impressive.<\/p>\n

Not as impressive as the Vikings stomping all over the Cowboys the next day, though. Granted, it was clear that a lot of that was the Cowboys forgetting how to do that thing they do in the fall and winter every year, but still. It was great.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We surprised Klein by all showing up at his house to watch, carrying food and all wearing pajama bottoms. I spent the day watching football, knitting, and playing poker. WIN.<\/p>\n

I’d probably be more bummed at having to work today if the people who had the day off weren’t out eating piles of meat at Fogo de Chao right now.\u00a0 Yuck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
