Illinois civil unions bill

Every one deserves love.

Congrats to my home state for finally signing the civil unions bill.

Love who you want and be so proud, it's totally allowed!

Mondays could not get any better.

Minne Monday

Recovering from the best Birthday weekend ever. A trip to Two Bostons, new toys, Bowser Beer and a salmon treat. 

Not to mention, clean new sheets on the bed, I love that. Thanks mom and dad.

Love Minne

January Can't End Until - Love Min

 January cannot end until we celebrate my Birthday.

As I grow a year older, I am no longer afraid of that peske window in my kitchen! BOOM Happy Birthday to me.

It's also been made aware that because I am an older more mature dog I can no longer have Birthday parties with my friends, apparently that's only for babies. I reminisce:

and some more

You think I will still get presents?

January is over

January is almost over and what have I done to work towards my 2011 resolutions? Great question.

1. Last week I attended my first Delta Gamma event since graduation, and I loved it. I know I know, I've been a horrible Alumni but I have to start somewhere and if I am going to be writing checks for the rest of my life, I might as well sign them off to somewhere that has really impacted my life. Plus there's still the philanthropy side of things post college graduation. That makes every one feel good right?

2. Paleo eating and working out is not going so well. But since I used January to focus on DG, maybe I'll use next month to focus on this? Plus I do start my training program for the Mini this month so I guess it's time.

Click this link, go quickly, do it!

In the 80s I may or may not have had a crush on NKOTB and in the 90s I may or may not have had a crush on BSB. Whatever my story may be, work forces me to follow concert tours stopping at the UC. Today I found this link and I'm in love.

Why?

1.  It's a reminder that baseball season is around the corner (pitchers and catchers report in 18 days - true story)
2. I think the marketing displayed in this web form is just perfect, it captures the venue and the tour in a way that just makes sense (believe me I will be letting the promoters know how much I love this)
3. I sit in dark basement office with the tech guys (don't get me wrong, they are great guys) but the realism in the clouds make me think that I am somewhere else. AND I LOVE THAT.

Kudos NKOTBSB marketing team, Kudos.

PS if you click every link that I included, I am sorry to say I fooled you. Yup, every hyper link goes to this - http://nkotb.com/ GOTCHA!

Costume Idea?

Post the hubs Birthday I emailed my rental suite contact and thanked them for working with me. I sent them a few photos from the Birthday with the following message

Although the surprise was the best part of the night I am pretty sure the attached photo shows what my husband thought the 2^nd best part of the night was.

The response?

Haha, now we know what you’re dressing up as for Halloween!

I am pretty sure my husband is convinced that this is what I am going to be for Halloween next year. (keep in mind I don't usually even celebrate the holiday)

Surprise Birthday Party

A little late but to end my husbands 30th Birthday weekend, I threw him a surprise Birthday at the United Center for a Blackhawks vs Predators game. Awesome right?!?

I booked the 40 person super suite at the Madhouse (which was freakin sweet BTW) and was able to get 40 of Landon's friends and relatives to travel to Chicago to join us on the hub's very special day. At first I was surprised about how much interest there was in coming out for Landons Birthday, but let's be honest, I have a pretty great husband so I wasn't that surprised.
