Live auctions! I went to some charity dinner last night and granted I couldn't afford any of the live auctions but I could see how one would get caught up in it. Someone bid $30K for four tickets to The Boss, which included backstage passes, guaranteed meet & greet, plus he would match whatever the bidder spent. Damn, yo. There was an item in the auction for a suite in the new Gophers stadium (against South Dakota, woof) and my dad kept trying pulling my arm up to bid. He was about to pee his pants he was laughing so hard but I was afraid the auctioneer was going to see my arm keep going up. I think my arm muscles hurt today from trying to resist the pulling. Go Hawks.

1. How I Met Your Mother is my new favorite show (yes, I realize I'm late to that party). I laugh out loud during every episode.
2. Buffalo Chicken Pizza??? HO. LY. SHIT. is that ever delicious. I'm going to try out a few recipes of my own. I'll keep you posted.
3. Don't punch windows.
4. Parties that consist of beer, yahtzee and sex world prizes are pretty rad.
5. Bea Arthur - oh how I will miss you. At least you live on on Lifetime. And Hallmark.

I would love to be a fly on the wall during an all guy conversation. The more and more I listen to girls have conversations, it's totally intriguing me. If I guy were a (blind) fly on the wall in the girls locker room at the gym for instance, I think they would totally roll their eyes. Most of those conversations revolve around makeup, hair, food, calories and shopping. Then take a girls' conversation that's more intimate. Giving each other advice or telling stories with all the details being included. Talking about boys and justifying why they did this or that. Etc. etc. Either way, without boys around, conversations are often times way different. So I wonder what guys talk about when there are no girls around. Us girls assume it's always superficial, whether it be about sports, food, hot chicks, burping, etc. Maybe that's their locker room conversation. But do they have the same sort of intimate conversations? Do they give each other advice and talk about real situations in their life or do they just keep it all to themselves. I'm sure it's not so black and white and everyone is different but I'm thinking more and more I should have been an anthropologist.

Oh how I miss Word Munchers & Number Munchers. I used to dominate those troggles. Sadly, most people don't even know what I'm talking about. Must have been another luxury Chaska had that other schools didn't. Ha. But they were one of the few educational games I loooooooooved. That and Oregon Trail, of course. But I didn't wise up and stop being the banker until the end of my Oregon Trail career.

A wHiLe bAcK...

...I had posted a blog about the Golden Girls. Lifetime was going to take them off the air and replace it with Sex & the City. While I love that show too, I can watch it on about 3 other networks. Lifetime, however, is the only network left that plays the Golden Girls. I had formed an official complaint along with hundreds (maybe thousands?!) of others. We were in an uproar! So I thought to myself, if they for some reason keep the Golden Girls around, I will feel like a part of something. Well - knock on wood - a year later, they still air the show. I recently came across this picture of Rose/Betty White. Check out her giraffe shirt and kitten purse! If that doesn't scream "Rose," I don't know what does.
