Congrats Matt and Tracy!

Okay so a couple of weeks of go our friends called and said "We are getting married tomorrow !" So off to the courthouse we went and watched them get married...it was great! they are planning on having a more traditional one in Kansas this summer! It was a "Johnny Cash" wedding so we wore black and it was so beautiful!
We went to Richards for their reception lunch and they got to spend the night at the Pere!
I wish for them the best!

You've been BALLED

Okay so from a previous post y' know about the giant balls and they have become quite a mode of enjoyment for us! As you can see Jim is having a great time laying his giant balls on Roxy's car! I hope the car was having as much enjoyment as he was!

Just remember you never know when are where but you could get BALLED!

Closest thing to being a celereality!

So my cutie putie husband...(he loves that I call him that) is in Chicago today...Why you ask? Well he is trying out for the Bravo channels reality show TOP CHEF. I know if it was a audience vote he would so be on...Right Brad? Anywho...we made a tape and he filled out the whole application... and he went to Chicago for the live casting. He called a bit ago and said there weren't as many in line as he thought but that it was slowly growing. 2 guys ahead of him flew in from Louieville KY. So I guess we will see if he can stand the heat and get in the kitchen...Wish him luck and salt and pepper!
To all of those who cook...we salute you!

The Big Giant Claw!

So Jim and Linda and Matt and I went to Great America Six Flags on Monday! Although the weather was a little shitty ...no one was there...which ROCKED! No lines...lots of roller coaster ridin! Plus the guys got really into playing the games too! After the bumper cars we walked into this arcade and saw "the biggest claw game in the world"(say with funny voice)! You could fit 10 adults in this game...so hopefully everyone knows what I am talking about...It's a big claw and you use the buttons to maneuver it to the prize you want to win and let it drop...hoping it will pick it up and carry it over to the bin and you get to take the prize home!
Well this game had large stuffed animals and very large dodgeball type balls with CUBS logo on it. Jim was hooked. He put in $5 for 3 tries. 1st try...he gets a ball...2nd try...he gets a ball...3rd try...denied! So now Jim has to walk around the park holding his 2 giant balls...So can you foresee what the day is going to hold for us...we became 12 year olds making jokes about Jim's balls...oh yes...all day "Look at how big Jim's balls are?" "Look Jim young boys are admiring your balls" "Jim's sitting over there with his balls hanging out" It went on ...and on...and on...
1 of the best was when Sylvester the Putty Tat came up and rubbed jim's balls...oh yes we said it...
"Look at the pussy rubbing Jim's balls!"
I promise to put up a pick when I get it so you can all visually see Jim's balls!

Battin' balls and taking names!

I won again!

Okay so if you read a very early post you know I am very lucky and win things a lot!
Well I had purchased a ticket to Mansion in May...a fund raiser for the Symphony Guild...while touring the Mansion, I bought some raffle tickets...Guess WHAT?!?!?! I won something...yeah!
Although the prize doesn't matter, I just love to win! So it is a CAT jacket and golf balls or something like that...It's worth $125. YEAH!
I think I will go play the lottery!
Play Ball!

Weekend at Bernies!

Okay so the weekend should of turned out so much better than it did but you just can't fool mother nature! Well we endured the freakin' pouring rain and cold sitting for over 2 hours in the bleachers at Wrigley Field before the sky cleared up and they actually played some ball...oh actually the Brewers came to play but the Cubs must of still had rain in their eyes. We lost miserably. Thankfully though we ended our night with a concert. My other favorite thing to do! We saw the Horrorpops at the Beat Kitchen. It's an itty bitty small joint. We went a bit early and had some great food and then went into the back where the concert was and The Briefs opened. they are definitely Londonesque Punk band with great songs and energy. The Horrorpops of course kicked ass...Patricia was so on and they are awesome live! The place was so small they didn't have a back stage so they had to come on stage through the crowd on the side. When it came time for them to take a break before coming back on for a couple more songs ...they couldn't leave the stage so they did this hilarious thing about acting like they were leaving the stage and turning the lights down and whispering to act like you don't see us...it was sooo funny. So it was a great Weekend at Bern...er I mean...in Chicago!

Thanks you and Goodnight!
