Mudhens Game

Last night was the Toledo Mudhens game and, unfortunately, it was suspended during the bottom of the 4th inning. It's in the middle of April and we got an inch of snow in north eastern Ohio. Although it started snowing while the gang (Sara, Dave, JB, Bryce, Tim, and myself) were tailgating, we stuck it out until the game was finally called off. Although the game was suspended, I did get the championship ring (which really is a large paper weight) I wanted. Woot! Even though it was cold, snowing, and we are all probably going to be sick later this week, I had a lot of fun going to opening night! They were winning 4-2 in the bottom of the 4th and that's where they will be picking up today at 1PM against the Durham Bulls. Hopefully they can pull off a win because my poor Mudhens are 2nd to last in our division with a 3-5 record this season. However, all their games thus far have been on the road so I'm hoping that having a home field advantage will pay off. Hopefully.

Before the game we all went to a restaurant in downtown Toledo called Tony Packo's. This place makes a killing selling the best hot dogs you will ever, EVER eat... And, to top it off -- Their fried pickles are phenomenal. Simply amazing. We were all at Packo's for about 2 hours just drinking, eating, and having fun. Lots of good memories. Davey ordered their largest hot dogs (a little over a foot) and almost ate it all but fell short.

Mudhens

Two more days and I'm off with my favorites to the Toledo Mudhens opening night game against Durham. I'm more than excited since I LOVE the Mudhens! I read in a paper that they are giving away the championship rings that the Mudhens won last year to 3,000 random guests. I better get one of those rings!!!

Happy Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SARA!!!

Today is my best friend's 22nd birthday!! I'm excited for a fun night since it is also our buddy, Taylor's, 21st. I believe Sara and I are going over to Taylor's to see him for a couple hours and then we're off to the bars to relive her 21st and make it better than ever! I got Sara a GREAT gift, she is going to be so excited.

For Christmas I made Sara a Cleveland Browns blanket and for her birthday I got her tickets to the Cleveland Browns vs. Cincinnati Bengals game in Cleveland. Now, although this gift also benefits me since the Bengals are my home team, it is in Cleveland and I'm pretty sure I might get shot showing up in a Bengals jersey. Nonetheless, she is going to flip when she finds out what I got her!!!

It's Not Alcoholism, it's Tradition

Meet Liz. We have the best times together at the bar. Last night was probably one of the greatest nights at Quarters. Ever. I worked a close last night and wasn't going to go out at all but one of my buddies that I work with, Pete, convinced me into going so after work I came back home, changed, and met Liz up at Quarters. It was Liz, me, Shane, Time, Pete, Brian, Greg, Dave, and Josh. We all got a huge table and just had a blasty blast. We were telling jokes, constantly laughing, and just having a good time. I didn't really want to be out too late so I only treated myself to an ice cold pitcher of Bud Light and shared a pitcher of Nati Light with Liz. Tim and I ended up leaving around midnight and headed back to his place to watch a couple of movies. I ended up passing out withint 10 minutes of the movie 'cause I had been pretty tired all day. I spent the night over there again (for the 5th night in a row). This morning we headed into town and met up with Bryce at his work at the Corner Grill. We all had lunch and now I'm back home contemplating whether or not I want to sleep more, shower, or clean my room. I'll let you all guess which one I'm going to do first.

I'm getting more and more excited for tomorrow night. Tim is picking me up around 4 and we're heading up to Toledo for dinner and the Storm game! I'm such a dork I was searching the 'net for information on the players, their stats, etc. I guess they are doing pretty good so that's cool. I love going to sporting events so I know I'm going to have a good time!

I'm even MORE excited for next weekend... The Mudhens opening night is going to be the shit. There's a huge group of us going and I know we're all just going to have a good time. Booze, friends, and baseball -- Where can you go wrong with that combination?

Time for this girl to catch up on some sleep.

Repeat?

What. The. Fuck. The state of Ohio (more specifically, OSU) officially sucks. It was so grand being with all my friends, our fabulous keg, and watch OSU lose... Again, to the same team. Oh well, it's not like Bowling Green is really getting anywhere in the land of sports, so who am I to be pissed at a school that I don't even attend? Perhaps I'll start liking Michigan now.

HA!

Tonight is my buddy's 21st and since I don't have to work tomorrow until 11, I think I might do what I always do and go out. Amanda and I are going to Quarters at 10ish to watch Tim and Kent play in the pool tourny but I'm suspecting that won't last too long since both of those gentlemen suck. Don't let them know that, though.

In any case, we'll probably head over to Brewsters for free pool since we're all broke (and yet can still afford the booze but not four quarters for pool). Hopefully I don't run into my "good" friend Kevin over there. I was a mumbling idiot last week when I ran into him there. I don't think I've ever hated someone as much as I hate him. He was like a bad sex addiction and all that has happened to him now is he's gotten fat and mean. Thank god I'm over that stage of my life.

That's Amanda. She's my roommate for next year ove at the 'Burbs along with JB and Sara. She's my wingman tonight when we venture over to Quarters. Although I know Tim and Kent will be there I'm kinda hoping us girls can drift away from the watchful eyes of my new boy to people watch. Who am I kidding -- People watch? I just want to flirt.

I'm a horrible person and I'm going straight to hell for my evil ways. Even with a boyfriend I just can't stop LOOKING. And I wonder why I can't keep a serious relationship... I'm just too wild for my own good. Maybe Tim will be the one that stops my evil ways. Who knows.

GO OSU

Song of the Moment: "Hang on Sloopy" Yardbirds

Tonight Liz, Tim, Matt, Sara, Dave, and myself are heading over to Ryan's for some cookin' out, cornhole, booze, and basketball. Life can't get much better, right? I really need OSU to win tonight 'cause if they do then I have a chance of winning 100 bucks. Boy, 100 bucks would be super duper right now.

GO OSU! BEAT FLORIDA

Go Falcons

For the first time ever a MAC Championship team has advanced to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament. Can you guess which fabulous team accomplished this? BOWLING GREEN STATE UNIVERSITY LADY FALCONS!! For the first time since 1989 we actually made it to the 2nd round and now we're off to the 3rd rounds against the #3 team, Arizona State. We beat the #2 team, Vanderbilt, last night so anything is possible! Best. Game. Ever. Check out my girls play on ESPN Saturday, March 24th, and 12PM noon!

With the good news being spread, I thought it would be an opportune time to also spread around a fantastic quote I heard today... Thanks to our ever great New York from VH1's I LOVE NEW YORK I present the following quote I heard today. I don't know why it made me laugh, but it just tickled my funny bone:

"It's ok to cry. People cry, dogs cry, doves cry, I cry, everyone cries!"

I think what cracked me up was that she said "doves cry" and all I could think about was Prince. I bet that too-much-make-up-psycho thought of the same thing.
