My wife and son are taking my niece on the 15th. They are excited, but I got left out because tickets went too fast.

If you promise to never allow me to be banned I can get you free tickets to the preview show next Thursday.

I'm drawing a blank...what is TCR?

Theatre Cedar Rapids. It is a very good "community theatre" that demands a lot of time (especially leading up to the show hence next weeks schedule) from their volunteers imo. That being said they put on the best non-professional shows you will find in a great theatre.

Lulu had another puppy booster this morning, up to 18lbs at 13.5 weeks. One more to go in three weeks.

so kickball update cause I had a late evening


first inning wasn't so hot, they got 3 runs, and I wasn't good at first base, sad face. We were up to kick and DH led off, got to 1st. I had a really nice bunt and got on. Guy behind me launched it and both DH and I got home! Next time I was up to score I got home again! Third time the pitcher walked me. Fourth time I got on base but guy behind me got caught out for the third. I think that's the first time I've gotten on base every hit. Makes me feel good.

As for defense, I still had some really stupid drops/fumble type things but they never scored after the first inning. Game got called at the top of the sixth (for time) and we won like 10-3. I really need to work on me though, if the ball is like rolling bouncing toward me, I lose a lot of those, boo.

But Yay!

Afterward we were at the bar place (they have a place that does free pitchers for the teams) and I got a margarita cause duh. Fun evening and talked with meow friend, might do my birthday at their place because they have a rooftop terrace. That sounds fun to me.
 
Oh so another in-laws story. So my wife came home last night and apparently her sisters head gets hot in the summer so when she got her haircut yesterday she had them shave like 3-4 inches off the back of her head... Enough where you can't tell when she has her hair down but it definitely happened. She asked my wife if she liked it which of course like a normal person she said no so my SIL made her patented pouty face...may I remind you that she is 24.

Do you provide babysitting services too? just kidding, my wife is out of town next week. one of my newer employees volunteers there as well and she's offered tickets to previews shows before.

We've been to probably a half-dozen shows in the last couple years and I'm blown away by how good it is for a local theatre group. It's a great venue and they do an amazing job.

It's called an undercut. I think it looks terrible for the most part...but having long hair sticking to a sweaty back in the summer does suck. That's why you wear a ponytail or a top knot.

I need to update my sig. With the death of the Purple One people are might think I am a Prince groupie. Just liked the sayin. Need a new rock lyric or something. I should probably go for something slightly offensive cause 2016 is the Year of Offense on CF.

Or maybe a graphic like:

Off to pump up da bike tyres.

For rock lyrics, I'm always partial towards KISS and "She's a dancer, a romancer, I'm a Capricorn and she's a Cancer."

Or if you want to stick to Minnesota musicians, Bob Dylan would be an obvious choice. Perhaps something from Mr. Tamborine Man, "Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin’ ship."[h=2][/h]
 
oh yeah so last night our pitcher fumbled a catch and I yelled at him "WHAT THE **** WAS THAT, PITCHER" to be a smart *** since I'd done the same several times. He's laughing saying I've never been yelled at like that before. So then next play I dropped an easy one and pitcher was coming to get the ball I'm like "please don't yell at me"

Then DH made some comment about me dropping that one. Next play, HE fumbled one. I said the circle of karma got us all.

and then to my "WHAT THE F" comment, someone was like that is how CG encourages people. So I said yeah I can be like one of those coaches who motivates via verbal abuse.

You should throw a chair the next time someone messes up.

It's like a Sam Kinison motivational seminar.

Just saw some old guy drop a biscuit on the floor at the Super 8. Put it on his plate and proceeded to add gravy.

OK. I have questions.
1. Are you travelling?
2. If not, did you just stop in at Super 8 on your way in to work for the free breakfast?
3. Was it on the floor for less than 5 seconds?
4. By biscuit, did you mean actual bready-like biscuit or is it a euphemism for something else?
5. Did anyone else like the movie Super 8?
6. Should I still feel bad that I accidentally knocked over our giant beer pyramid that we'd built when we stayed at the Super 8 in Des Moines for the high school volleyball tournament?

Interesting. I agree that it looks terrible but this is probably just another example of my lack of fashion sense.

You guys obviously need to tone it down. I'm pretty sure that is a no fun league.
