We appreciate it so much. I hope you had a good time; from what I&#8217;ve heard, we all did!! Also, thank you to everyone who helped out that day.\n<p \/><\/li>\n<li>We made over $1,500!! We paid off all our expenses (food and beer) within the first hour. I can&#8217;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.\n<p \/><\/li>\n<li>We got listed in Citypages and on a few Twin Cities blogs. Even people <i>we didn&#8217;t know<\/i> showed up!\n<p \/><\/li>\n<li>We met the two newest members of the team we hadn&#8217;t previously met. Amanda and Heather rock. Our team is the best.\n<p \/><\/li>\n<li>We&#8217;ll be doing the raffle drawing tonight, and I&#8217;ll hopefully have a chance to call\/email everyone about it tonight. We&#8217;ll either mail or deliver prizes in person.\n<p \/><\/li>\n<li>We had a couple requests to buy our team tshirts, because they rule. Therefore, we present: <a href='http:\/\/www.cafepress.com\/boobylicious' target='boobs'>THE BOOBYLICIOUS STORE<\/a>!\n<p \/><\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;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&#8217;s so awesome.\n<p \/><\/li>\n<li>Come to think of it, I don&#8217;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.\n<p \/><\/li>\n<li>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.\n<p \/><\/li>\n<li>I love Team Awesome. I might even marry them, although that&#8217;s illegal in all 50 states.\n<p \/><\/li>\n<li>When I saw Chele come down the stairs, I jumped up and down with excitement. If you didn&#8217;t know, my walk is dedicated to her and her absolute coolness.\n<p \/><\/li>\n<li>I have many pictures. By far, <a href='http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/50\/133529277_be357bdf21.jpg?v=0' target='boobs'>our team picture<\/a> is the best. It makes me sniffly!!

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&#8217; at me funny when I went for pink balloons, until I realized I was wearing a tshirt with &#8216;boobylicious&#8217; on it. Oops.<\/p>\n<p \/>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&#8217;ll think when he finds out I&#8217;ve been referring to him as grabass boy, although I totally know he&#8217;ll be fine with it. Wendy and Stephanie and I did a nine-mile training walk through <strike>lovely<\/strike> Eagan, and I got sunburnt on my neck: LAME. My new Mizuno shoes are superawesome and worth every cent.<\/p>\n<p \/>I&#8217;m having what looks to be a really big Cinco de Mayo party, so I&#8217;ve gone from fundraiser-obsessing to party-obsessing. I love that I don&#8217;t even have to ask Kaye for decorating help, she just knows she&#8217;ll be in charge of that. My dad and I are going to make a little platform to fit over my stovetop so I can use it as a food table, and we&#8217;re going to get some kind of creative floor-pillow seating arrangements for the living room, because the Christmas party was definitely at-or-beyond fire capacity as far as the living room was concerned. Also, we&#8217;re totally going to beat up pinatas in the park. Fingers crossed for no police involvement in that escapade.<\/p>\n<p \/>As usual, I&#8217;m running out of time, and I have raffling to do tonight. I hope to be speaking to some of you about that soon!!<\/p>\n<p \/>Jenni<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Monday, everyone. Ouch.
